Details Surrounding Decision to Pursue Charges Against Mark Taylor Under the Municipal Elections Act

This is the third article I’ve posted relating to the Ottawa Municipal Election Compliance Audit Committee.  

The first one detailed concerns with the veracity of the Compliance Audit of  Mr. Eli El-Chantiry that was commissioned by the City Clerk’s office. (http://tinyurl.com/plk5duj).

The second, was an open letter asking the Minister of Municipal Affairs to intervene in the process to ensure both the City Clerk and the Auditors have fulfilled their legislated obligations under the Municipal Elections Act. (http://tinyurl.com/njnszk2)

In this posting, I’ve addressed the specific issues and controversy surrounding the Committee’s decision to pursue charges against Mr. Taylor. 

While the Audit confirmed enough information for the Committee to order the City Clerk to pursue charges against Mr. Mark Taylor, there are still a number of issues that remain unresolved.
