Andrea Horwath (MPP for Hamilton, Ontario East) introduced the "CAS Ombudsman Oversight" Bill today. Sheila (Andrea's Executive Assistant) was not able to let people know in advance because of the government's rush to close down the session for the summer.

Sheila also stated:

"we'll follow up with a big press conference when we have the media's attention and time to organize."

So, there will be plenty more news in the coming months.

The Bill introduced by Andrea Horwath today for Ombudsman oversight previously known as Bill 88 is now Bill 93
