Property tax reform in Ontario

Conduct a full forensic audit of Hydro One and fire President and CEO with cause
We, the undersigned taxpayers, call on the government of Ontario to conduct a full forensic audit into Hydro One. Any individual found to have falsified expense claims should be forced through legal means to repay amounts owing.
