Andre Marin

André Marin isn’t going quietly. The former Ontario Ombudsman is suing the Ontario Legislature and his former office for wrongful dismissal because he wasn’t granted a third five-year term. It is an unseemly grievance from this man-of-the-people Ombudsman. He had a knack of dramatizing his triumphs in defense of ordinary folk. A kind of civil service superman. Now however he claims he was misled and humiliated by Premier Wynne’s office. His document, filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in March, states he “suffered personally, professionally, financially and emotionally as a result of relying on misleading representations and assertions as well as the oppressive and high-handed actions” of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario and the Office of the Ombudsman of Ontario.
