The Progressive Conservatives have stopped paying the rent for Patrick Brown’s posh Bay St. condo following the former leader’s resignation over sexual misconduct allegations he denies.
“The party will no longer be providing this payment,” Heather McCarthy, a senior aide in Brown’s Simcoe North constituency office, said Thursday in an email to the Star on his behalf.
Brown will now have to use the taxpayer-funded MPPs’ monthly allowance of $1,876.50 toward the rent in the new high-rise building, where suites go for as much as $3,000 a month.
“The rent is now being switched over to the Legislature,” McCarthy said.
