Premier Promising More Accountability

Ontario's Ombudsman could soon have new powers over municipalities and schools board.

It's part of legislation the Liberal government intends to bring forward.

Premier Kathleen Wynne says it's about bringing more accountability, oversight and transparency to government and the broader public sector.

The legislation would also review the compensation given to senior executives  and give powers to Ontario's Integrity Commissioner to review expenses of all provincially-funded agencies.
