More than two dozen Ontario PC MPPs — including eight cabinet ministers — haven't filed campaign finance disclosures from last June's election more than a month after the due date, Elections Ontario data shows. Broadening the question to look at all candidates, successful and unsuccessful, the PCs have the lowest reporting rate, with 43 candidates yet to report. The Liberals have 25, the NDP 26 and the Greens just five.
"There's no administrative penalty. In the Act, there is a list of administrative penalties, but it doesn't cover filing."
IrrelephantC There isn’t any rules in the FORD government 🤢 people need to vote. This is madness!!
Come on Ford! What is your Party doing?(in addition to what we already know about ruining the environment ) The Neanderthal’s continue their wayward ways!
joad_tomgrapes They should become ineligible to run in the next election. Elections Ontario must be given some teeth to act.
PatrickDLucht So does ElectionsON intend to do anything about it or are CONs above the law in Canada as well. What about ElectionsCan_E can they do anything.
1loriking Is there no penalty? ElectionsON
jpmacnab Gangsters gonna be gangsters.
Typical Ford government by Non Disclosure. I.e. no openness . If forced we will go to court. Where are we with the mandate letters from previous government?
Apply penalty and remove from office if they fail to file by January 31.
Where are the consequences ?
Remember, Jason Kenney FIRED the elections commissioner who was investigating electoral irregularities in his party. And very few Albertans cared. If cons are in charge, perhaps no one dares to actually enforce anything anymore.
How Republican of them.
What is the OPP doing to investigate? The RCMP? NOTHING TO SEE HERE!
No surprise. The Ontario PC MPPs are as corrupt as their leader. Makes perfect sense
Jail them immediately until their office complies! Oh sorry, these ppl are above the law, I forgot my place!!!
What are these fordnation PC MPPs hiding?
trekker4peace2 It's alarming that this isn't triggering an OPP Forensic Accounting investigation against each of these MPPs.
There is no excuse for this. It's a shame our Election Laws do not immediately confer 'temporarily inactive' status to elected representatives who do not follow electoral law... but then again, those laws are written by the elected; a blatant conflict of interest.
And police wonder why they have lost support of the public, and politicians complain of a lack of respect.
Unbranded63 They are all being audited.🙄🙄🙄
Blatant corruption yet we won’t hear anything about this on CBCNews CTVNationalNews GlobalNational because they’re in bed the conservatives cdnmediafailed
Publish their names!!
Not surprisingly
I wonder how many commenters here actually read the article? These days Headlines and 160 characters are enough to voice a strong opinion I guess.
ONAttorneyGen Who should be monitoring this and providing oversight to ensure these disclosures are filed? ElectionsON
kenwoo0952 Then they should ALL RESIGN. Just shows how corrupt the Ontario PC’s are. 😡
More OntarioPCParty corruption?
Has the list of MPPs not disclosing been published?
Who do we complain to? If you know, please provide the info so we can contact them.
Will anything happen to these people? Politicians are not heals accountable I Ontario so why bother spending any money of pursuing this.
Kinda skimpy with your headline … “the PCs have the lowest reporting rate, with 43 candidates yet to report. The Liberals have 25, the NDP 26 and the Greens just five.” So it’s in fact … an awful lot of politicians (95) don’t believe they have to follow the rules.
Hmmmm...
Rules and laws don’t concern conservatives they have no moral compass….I mean their leader was a drug dealer! fordnation OntarioPCParty OntarioPCCaucus yelich_ivana codymwelton

Common con theme....
🤬
Rules don’t apply to the Cons. Where have you been?
IMO there should be by-elections ASAP in all of those ridings. Those who failed to do their paperwork lose their seats and aren't allowed to run again.
Gasp4Change Did I miss it? Where is the list of who didn’t disclose?
Filled late cause of Covid
Now do McKenna, Freeland et al, in the billions $$ of our money, on some infrastructure show, totally, completely unaccounted to us. Now do that. If not, why not? 🤷♀️
Maybe time to start dishing up fines.
They would expect Canadians to comply to their rules. Should not be sitting in the house if they are this late, donations from a foreign country and therein could be the reason for not completing this. Another thing where is the Official Agent who does their accounting
Sounds pretty normal given the corruption at the federal level.
