Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington, introduced a Bill that would expand jury trials to apply to provincial offences with penalties over $25,000 or offences that could end someone's livelihood.

After the Gas Plant, Ornge and Pan-Am Games scandals, it's clear the people of this province need oversight of our public institutions. That's why Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington, introduced a Bill to do just that. Grand juries are a time tested method for the public to have oversight over our public institutions.

One year after Premier Dalton McGuinty prorogued the Legislature, Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington, has introduced a Bill to limit the length of time a government can prorogue by cutting off the taps. Right now, a government can have a prorogation lasting up to a year in length. This Bill, if passed, would limit the length of time that the Lieutenant Governor in Council could continue to pay for the government to 60 days since the last time it sat.

OTTAWA — Randy Hillier was tossed from the Progressive Conservative shadow cabinet last month, but that suits the Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP just fine.

Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington, wrote letters to both Premier Kathleen Wynne and the Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli requesting that they respect the Town of Greater Napanee's decision to declare themselves "not a willing host" for the Dorland Industrial Wind Turbine Project. Please take a moment and read the two letters below.

Randy Hillier isn't going away, isn't going to shut up and he isn't going to apologize.

Not even to Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak.

On August 21st, 2013, I sent a letter to Ontario's Minister of Consumer Services Tracy MacCharles requesting that she conduct a value for money audit of Tarion Warranty Corporation. Contrary to her letter, there is no law which disallows her from calling for such an audit. Here is my response.

Much has transpired since my last newsletter, both good news as well as some disappointing news. Let’s start with the good news first: 

Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington, introduces a Bill that would give Ontario's Legislature more oversight over the province's onerous regulations. This Bill, if passed, would create a committee tasked with reviewing regulations to make sure they do not impose arduous, cumbersome and weighty burdens on the people of Ontario.

You may be aware, I have long advocated for this development to proceed, and have been working with the hospital to this end since first being elected in 2007.

I have met with both the hospital board and hospital administration on many occasions over the last number of years, submitted public petitions in support of this redevelopment into the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, questioned the Minister of Health on this in Question Period, and had numerous discussions with both the LHIN and the Capital Investment Branch of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.
