The previous Liberal government time and time again mismanaged taxpayer dollars while insiders got rich off the public purse. But what\u2019s worse, on top of the waste and scandal, is that we were not provided an accurate picture of the province\u2019s finances.\u201d Bouma stated.<\/p>\n<p>Bouma also pointed out it took independent officers, like the Auditor General and the Financial Accountability Office, to expose just what was going on.<\/p>\n<p>Minister Fedeli responded, \u201cWe will be giving the commission of financial inquiry an expansive mandate. They are going to chase down any and all budgetary spending and accounting practices that might compromise the public\u2019s faith in our public finances. This work will be completely independent from my office, from the Premier\u2019s office and from any government office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MPP Bouma\u2019s follow-up supplementary highlighted it\u2019s of paramount importance that we start the path back to fiscal balance in Ontario and that this is true transparency and accountability, something that was sadly non-existent in the previous government.<\/p>\n<p>-30-<\/p>\n<p>Watch here: www.youtube.com\/watch?v=O0bR0rsF7ZM<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact MPP Will Bouma at 519-759-0361 or <a href=\"mailto:will.bouma@pc.ola.org\">will.bouma@pc.ola.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bouma questions the Minister of Finance regarding the Commission of Inquiry FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 18, 2018 QUEEN\u2019S PARK \u2013 MPP Will Bouma questioned Finance Minister Vic Fedeli today on the government\u2019s Commission of Inquiry into Ontario\u2019s finances. \u201cFor the last 15 years, the people of Ontario and especially in my riding of Brantford-Brant watched &#8230; <a title=\"Bouma questions the Minister of Finance regarding the Commission of Inquiry\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/willbouma.ca\/bouma-questions-the-minister-of-finance-regarding-the-commission-of-inquiry\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Bouma questions the Minister of Finance regarding the Commission of Inquiry\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Bouma questions the Minister of Finance regarding the Commission of Inquiry - WillBouma.ca<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/willbouma.ca\/bouma-questions-the-minister-of-finance-regarding-the-commission-of-inquiry\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bouma questions the Minister of Finance regarding the Commission of Inquiry - WillBouma.ca\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Bouma questions the Minister of Finance regarding the Commission of Inquiry FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 18, 2018 QUEEN\u2019S PARK \u2013 MPP Will Bouma questioned Finance Minister Vic Fedeli today on the government\u2019s Commission of Inquiry into Ontario\u2019s finances. \u201cFor the last 15 years, the people of Ontario and especially in my riding of Brantford-Brant watched ...
