Ontario’s transportation minister has promised vehicles assigned to Doug Ford’s cabinet ministers won’t be caught speeding again, after municipal cameras slapped them with more than $3,300 in fines.
As Global News previously reported , vehicles registered to cabinet ministers were snapped speeding by cameras 23 times over the past three years, including one travelling at 70 km/h in a 40 zone.
Ford has said the infractions are “unacceptable” and that the staff and ministers driving have repaid the fines from their own pocket.
