Newly re-elected Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown has been fined $100,000 by the Conservative Party of Canada as Elections Canada continues to investigate his failed federal leadership campaign.
Brown was notified of the fine last week just days before the Oct. 24 municipal election which saw him re-elected with nearly 60 per cent of the vote, according to reports and sources.
The fine totals the same amount each candidate was required to submit to the party as a compliance deposit to enter the leadership race.
Brown was booted from the CPC leadership race in July amid allegations his campaign broke party rules and violated financial provisions of the Canada Elections Act.
