Ontario's Finance Minister is one of many Progressive-Conservatives mentioned in former party leader Patrick Brown's new, tell-all book.
Its called Entitled Takedown: The Attempted Political Assassination of Patrick Brown.
The ex-Opposition leader says he was stabbed in the back during his time at Queen's Park by those in his inner circle.
He stepped down from his job as Ontario PC leader in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct.
They are allegations that Brown denies.
He makes some serious allegations of his own against Ontario's current Finance Minister.
Brown claims last December, he received a hand-written letter from a female staffer that accused Vic Fedeli of inappropriate behaviour -- an alleged embrace and touch that was offside.
Brown goes on to allege that when Fedeli became interim party leader, the complainant was fired but kept on the legislative payroll.
Minister @VictorFedeli is one of the most honourable, ethical, and decent individuals I have ever had the privilege of knowing and working with. I stand behind him completely from this disgusting smear campaign. He has my full support. See his statement below. pic.twitter.com/HkwhgDdcYe

The Doug Ford government has released several written statements responding to the allegations in this book.
"These accusations from Patrick Brown are categorically false and without any merit," writes a spokesperson for Fedeli.
"Facts relating to Mr. Brown's lack of credibility are well documented and on the public record, as are his motivations in using his book to pursue old grievances."
Brown also takes a swipe at PC minister Lisa MacLeod but there isn't much more to it than name-calling.
MacLeod's office offered the following response:
"The comments made by the former Leader of the Opposition regarding my battle with mental health in his book are disgusting and cruel. I will not comment further on the allegations he makes in his book towards me, as I will not give any credence to the outlandish claims he has made, except to say they are categorically false."
