MRC Pontiac Warden Jane Toller has been accused of threatening an employee at her private business with demotion or dismissal if the employee ran for elected office.
The revelations were made public in a news report by local radio station CHIP FM. The radio station identified the employee as Jessica Bérard, which Toller later confirmed.
Bérard declined to comment for this story.
On July 10, the Outaouais regional association of the New Democratic Party of Quebec (NDPQ) published an open letter on its Facebook page accusing a local business owner of threatening an employee with demotion or dismissal if she ran in the upcoming provincial election.
