“Our party has undertaken a thorough process on this matter,” party president Sharon White said in a statement Thursday.

“After careful consideration and discussion, the party’s executive board has asked Laura to return as executive director. That decision was made unanimously, reflecting the full confidence we have in her.”

Miller is one of two top aides to former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty facing high-profile criminal charges in Ontario, related to the destruction of email records around a decision to scrap two gas plants, in Oakville and Mississauga, before the 2011 election.
