Bill 8 – A Win for the Toronto Ombudsman

Bill 8 is the Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act, 2014 – a law passed by the Province of Ontario on December 11, 2014.

It allows the provincial Ombudsman to review complaints about school boards, universities and municipalities in Ontario – except for complaints about Toronto government services.

The Toronto Ombudsman has the sole authority to investigate complaints about the administration of the city. Complaints about the City of Toronto that are in the Toronto Ombudsman's jurisdiction stay in the Toronto Ombudsman's jurisdiction.

Bill 8 says so.
