Firms with ties to Brampton councillor, mayor got ‘unfair advantage’ on contracts, docs say
Companies that employed two men with close associations to an incumbent Brampton councillor and its mayor won city contracts after being afforded access not given to other bidders, new documents suggest.
Almost 500 pages of documents — including internal communications, bid details and reports — were obtained by Global News.
They lay out a timeline in which companies with links to Patrick Brown and Coun. Rowena Santos were given an apparent advantage, winning competitive contracts to work on a controversial university scheme in Brampton.
