Derek Fildebrandt’s timeout from the Wildrose caucus didn’t last long.

The Strathmore-Brooks MLA was fully reinstated to the Wildrose caucus Tuesday after being suspended last Friday over his apparent endorsement of a homophobic Facebook post targeting Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne — which Fildebrandt had apologized for and said was inadvertent.

A Wildrose source told Postmedia on Tuesday morning that Fildebrandt had been welcomed back into the fold without accepting the original conditions imposed on him for his return, though he had agreed to hire a social media manager.

But the official statement from the Wildrose caucus released later in the day, which confirmed that Fildebrandt had been readmitted and would engage a social media manager, said Fildebrandt had “fully accepted caucus’ concerns and criteria.”

“There is a clear commitment from Derek to address caucus’ concerns to be accountable for his track record on social media and to take steps to fix it,” Wildrose Leader Brian Jean said in the release.

The caucus said the social media manager would be paid for through Fildebrandt’s constituency association budget, with costs cut in other areas to ensure it is not an additional expense for taxpayers.
