Ford said Thursday that he had accepted the resignation of PC candidate in Brampton East after learning of allegations about the theft of 60,000 people’s personal information from a toll highway operator.

Simmer Sandhu’s resignation came shortly after his former employer, the 407 Express Toll Route, issued a statement about what it called an “internal theft of customer data.”

Sandhu denies the allegations, but the New Democrats have called on the Chief Electoral Officer to investigate and determine if any of the data was used by Tory candidates.
