Sudbury byelection probe: Wynne yet to meet with OPP

Premier Kathleen Wynne says a "scheduling issue" is to blame for why she hasn't yet met with police investigating alleged bribery and corruption in a recent byelection.

The Ontario Provincial Police are probing allegations the Liberals offered a would-be Sudbury byelection candidate a job or appointment to step aside for their preferred candidate.

It has been more than seven weeks since audio recordings of the conversations in question were made public, prompting the police to reopen an investigation they had previously deemed closed.

And it has been more than five weeks since police went to court seeking access to the original recordings, but they have not yet interviewed the premier.

Conversations with a local Liberal organizer and Wynne's deputy chief of staff are at the centre of the allegations Wynne spoke to the would-be candidate as well, but her call with him was not recorded.

Wynne says there are ongoing conversations with the police about scheduling an interview with her, but "the date just hasn't been set yet."
