Description

October 5 Toronto Metro Chairman Paul Godfrey slammed members of CIRPA as "vigilantes" who were "misguided and may not know what they've got themselves into." The remarks were made in front of an Ontario Legislature committee hearing. Godfrey was in turn attacked by MPP Ed Philip (NDP–Etobicoke), who accused him of "smearing" reputable community groups. Later, Philip Givens, chairman of the Metro Board of Police Commissioners, also denounced CIRPA.
