The full text of the motion passed by the Greater Sudbury Police Services Board on Wednesday. It was issued following an in camera meeting to deal with four requests from the public for chair Gerry Lougheed Jr. to step down while Elections Ontario and the Ontario Provincial Police investigate the Andrew Olivier scandal:

“The Greater Sudbury Police Services Board considered the matter of a tape recorded private conversation between Gerry Lougheed Jr. and Andrew Olivier which was released to the public.

"The board had before it four requests from four members of the public that Mr. Lougheed be asked to step down as police services board chair until such time the investigations underway by the Ontario Provincial Police and Elections Ontario have concluded related to that conversation or the issues forming the subject matter of the
conversation.”

“The board has deliberated on this matter and consulted legal counsel. The board considered the provisions of the Police Services Act which bear upon this matter.”

“The board concluded that the subject matter of the tape recorded conversations does not involve or intersect with the police services board's role or the duties of the chair of the board. These matters are currently under investigation by the responsible agencies. As a result, the board will not be taking further action at this time and will have no further comment.”
