Elliott is now Ontario’s patient ombudsman, a patronage job from Premier Kathleen Wynne that pays $220,000 a year. Amid the tumult, MPP Monte McNaughton, who was a kingmaker in the 2015 leadership won by Brown, has decided not to enter the race. Fedeli said Dykstra, a former MP for St. Catharines, should “do the right thing” and resign from the executive. Fedeli said it will be impossible to have a “clean and fair” leadership race unless the membership list is cleaned up. Her sister-in-law Jessica Mulroney has posted an Instagram poll saying “we need more smart and competent women in politics” and asking if Mulroney should run.
