“Simmer Sandhu provided his resignation to the party and the party accepted it,” Melissa Lantsman, a spokeswoman for PC Leader Doug Ford, said Wednesday night. The 407’s operator said earlier Wednesday it is notifying 60,000 of its customers that information about the motorists was divulged through an “internal theft” of names, addresses and phone numbers. “The company is taking this matter very seriously as the privacy and protection of our customers’ information is of the utmost importance,” said the statement. Dhillon said in a brief interview Wednesday he knew nothing about the 407 data theft. (Story updated at 8:24 with 407 saying Sandhu was no longer an employee, naming his successor in Brampton East.)
