L’ORIGNAL | Having the counties council mentioned in the Ontario ombudsman’s year-end report is not sitting well with the regional director. Even if the report does state that the counties council has done nothing wrong. “I’m not happy with it,” said Stéphane Pa- risien, chief administrative officer for the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR), during the Jan. 23 session of the counties council. Parisien was referring to the 2012 Ontario Ombudsman’s Annual Report of the Open Meeting Law Enforcement Team (OMLET). The report provides a summary of complaints that the ombudsman has handled concerning municipal and county governments failing to follow the rules and regulations of the Municipal Act for their meetings. The report noted that the om- budsman received one complaint last year that the UCPR had violated the Municipal Act rules about open and closed meetings. But the report also noted that the file was closed and the complaint dismissed after a preliminary investigation determined there was no basis for the complaint. Parisien’s concern is that the UCPR still ends up as part of the OMLET complaint files even after the ombudsman office
