Patrick Brown removed from Ontario PC caucus

Patrick Brown has been removed from Ontario’s Progressive Conservative caucus amid sexual misconduct allegations against the former leader.

Interim leader Vic Fedeli said in a statement on Friday that he had asked Brown to step aside when he was appointed to the position.

“Earlier today, Mr. Brown was notified that he has been removed from the PC Caucus effective immediately,” Fedeli said.

“The same procedure was followed when Mr. Brown removed Jack MacLaren from the PC Caucus.”
