Today, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario agreed to the membership for its Standing Committees. Rob Leone, MPP for Cambridge and North Dumfries is the Ontario PC lead on the Standing Committee of Estimates.

 “I am happy that we finally struck Standing Committees after months of delay,“ said Leone. “I am looking forward to getting down to business and working alongside my fellow colleagues on the Standing Committee of Estimates.”

 The mandate of the Standing Committee on Estimates is to study the estimates of a Budget when it is presented to the Legislature and to study the estimates of Government Ministries for each fiscal year.
