Prosecutors in Peterborough, Ont., have withdrawn charges against former Ontario MPP Randy Hillier related to COVID-19 gathering restrictions, according to a legal advocacy group.
Although charges against Hillier were dropped in Peterborough, they remain in place in other jurisdictions, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) said on Sept. 22 on social media, noting that it is continuing to work toward a resolution. Hillier is being represented by lawyers funded through JCCF.
