Nova Scotia’s Progressive Conservative leader has expelled a Cape Breton caucus member who was ordered last week to make the driveway at her constituency office more accessible to people with limited mobility.In a conference call, the Tory leader said Paon’s actions and comments critical of the legislature committee making the order were the “last straw” in a series of issues that arose with her.“There’s been a pattern of behaviour that’s shown poor judgment,” he told reporters.
He said comments Paon made to CBC on Friday about a year-old order to pave a portion of her office’s gravel driveway to allow accessibility were “mean spirited” and led to his decision to expel her from caucus. She said she wasn’t going to spend $12,000 from her constituency allowance paving the driveway of a building she rents, and added the request was “absolutely ridiculous.”The legislature committee ruled that Paon, the member for Cape Breton-Richmond, wouldn’t receive office rent after not complying with the motion from the House of Assembly management commission to do the work.
