The Montreal Gazette reports that former Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant has been charged with criminal negligence and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle in connection with the death of a cyclist in downtown Toronto on Monday night.
Bryant — who early in his legal career worked at Sullivan & Cromwell and McCarthy Tetrault — was first elected to the Ontario Legislature in 1999 as a member of the Ontario Liberal Party. He was re-elected in 2003 and was appointed AG when the Liberals won control of the provincial government.
