CTV says Saturday that Toronto Police Superintendent Ron Taverner has asked for and been granted a delay in his appointment as OPP Commissioner so that the Ontario integrity commissioner can review the decision. The NDP asked that the integrity Commissioner examine the role, if any, of Premier Ford in the hiring. Taverner sent email to Community Safety Minister Sylvia Jones asking for a delay. “While the government has full confidence in Mr. Taverner, we will respect his request for a delay in his appointment, until such time as the Integrity Commissioner has conducted a review of the selection process,” Jones wrote in a statement.
