A decision made at Queen's Park will execute something many have asked for in Niagara for quite sometime.
MPPs voted today in favour of the Auditor General going over the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority's books.
The motion asked members of the Public Account's Committee support the Auditor General to complete a full financial audit, and it passed with Liberal support.
Welland NDP MPP Cindy Forster tells CKTB that means the Auditor General will be approaching the NPCA to set up a complete audit.
Several municipalities in Niagara and Hamilton have requested an audit.
Last month, the NPCA announced that the Auditor General wouldn't be able to conduct a value-for-money-audit.
Forster says today's vote overrides that decision and it's time to dig deep into what's happening at the NPCA.
Meantime, the Vice Chair of the NPCA James Kaspersetz told CKTB this morning that the Authority has brought back two of their Restoration Group employees who were recently laid off.
The NPCA laid off eight front line workers late last month including three in restoration, two planners, two ecological technicians and one event coordinator.
