Police are alleging that Dalton McGuinty’s last chief of staff tried to make sure there were no records of certain government decisions, and that he and a deputy failed to disclose information they were supposed to give to the public about the decision to cancel two controversial gas-fired generating stations.

Former McGuinty chief of staff David Livingston has been under investigation on allegations that he breached the public trust by giving an outsider access to government computers to try to delete a swath of records.

The outsider is alleged to have been Peter Faist, a computer expert and the boyfriend of Laura Miller, the deputy chief of staff who is alleged to have failed to disclose documents.

Livingston ran McGuinty’s office in the final nine months of his premiership, right up to the time McGuinty handed power to Premier Kathleen Wynne in February 2013.

Livingston denies he did anything out of the ordinary, let alone criminal, and he has not been charged with anything.
