Brad Blair, former interim commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police, has filed a $15-million lawsuit for wrongful termination against Premier Doug Ford and several top-level civil servants.
At a news conference, Blair’s lawyer, Julian Falconer, said that the statement of claim for the lawsuit was filed Friday morning, calling it “the only way Brad Blair can push for accountability.”
Falconer and Blair also called for a public inquiry into provincial appointments made under Ford, calling them “questionable.”
“Nothing short of a commission of inquiry … will actually give a full airing to the issues,” said Falconer.
By mid-afternoon Friday, Ford’s government had released a statement, saying that since the matter was before the courts, it would be inappropriate to comment.
