Fact Check: Caroline Mulroney, K.C.’s record speaks for itself – she’s a bad manager for Treasury Board

QUEEN’S PARK – Caroline Mulroney, K.C. is out as Transportation Minister as Ford desperately tries to change the channel on his Greenbelt corruption scandal that gets worse by the day.

As the President of the Treasury Board Secretariat, Mulroney will now be responsible for managing the government’s fiscal plan – an important job that includes managing government spending and operations. Here’s some highlights of her record:

• Mulroney served as Attorney General of Ontario (2018-2019) despite never practicing law in Canada
  • She voted in favour of using a notwithstanding clause to shrink and interfere with Toronto city council
  • She used her position to cut basic justice services for low-income Ontarians by 30 per cent, cutting funding for Legal Aid Ontario by $133 million
• She was caught up in the corrupt Conservatives’ King’s Counsel scandal, receiving a patronage K.C. designation just three days after being called to the bar
• A Minister of Transportation (2019-2023), she oversaw the mismanagement of Eglinton LRT Crosstown, which now has no confirmed opening date

Last session, the Ontario NDP called for Mulroney’s resignation due to her terrible mismanagement of the Transportation file, which has left Ontarians waiting for public transit that feels like it will never arrive.

Mulroney isn’t a good manager. Her record speaks for itself.
