Video: Councillors split on referral motion for Integrity Commissioner
TORONTO – A proposed motion to refer Rob Ford to the city’s Integrity Commissioner fails to carry with a vote of 18 – 26.
The motion, proposed by Ward 14 Councillor Gord Perks, would have seen the Integrity Commissioner investigate Rob Ford’s violations of code of conduct, alleged racist and homophobic remarks made by Ford, as well as the Mayor’s behaviour in general.
