Mayor Bevilacqua’s Statement on Integrity Commissioner’s Report

May 18, 2017 12:00 a.m.
​Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua has issued the following statement in response to a report filed by the City of Vaughan’s independent Integrity Commissioner.
 
"I have read the Integrity Commissioner’s report concerning allegations filed against Regional Councillor and Deputy Mayor Michael Di Biase, and find the contents to be gravely concerning.
 
The City of Vaughan takes this matter very seriously and condemns all acts of workplace harassment and reprisal of any kind.
 
Without exception, anyone who works for the City of Vaughan should be treated fairly in an environment free from discrimination, harassment, and reprisal.
 
Given the serious nature of this issue, and the immediate attention required, I have called a Special Committee of the Whole Meeting on Tuesday, May 23, 2017 at 10 a.m., immediately followed by a Special Council Meeting. The Integrity Commissioner will be presenting the findings of her independent investigation at the Special Committee of the Whole Meeting. I will comment further on this issue at that time."
