External investigators provided a closed-doors update on their probe of a cancelled Toronto Parking Authority land deal that has sparked investigations by both the city’s auditor general and provincial police. A senior team from Torys LLP of partners Linda Plumpton, Sheila Block and senior counsel Frank Iacobucci, a former Supreme Court judge, were on hand to speak to the parking authority’s interim board Tuesday. Staff cited solicitor-client privilege on advice related to identifiable city employees in holding the closed meeting. The board voted to report to city council on the actions they have taken so far. A police investigation into the deal is ongoing, a spokesperson for the OPP confirmed Tuesday.
