NDP Leader Marit Stiles expressed concerns about the Ontario government granting preferential treatment in the process that led to the Therme lease at OntarioPlace, indicating there might be substantial evidence for the Integrity Commissioner to investigate further.
The Ontario NDP has filed a complaint with the Integrity Commissioner, suggesting that the leasing process for the waterfront spa was mired in special treatment, raising questions about the transparency of negotiations.
Documents show that the province must secure 1,200 parking spots for Therme, imposing a $5 daily penalty if not provided, which could exceed Therme’s rent in several years.
Stiles highlighted a lack of a fairness monitor in the lease agreement process with Therme, questioning how the contract evolved and what role lobbying played in its final terms.
