THE CANADIAN PRESS/Andrew VaughanIn 2008, Anita Bell took a job with O’Leary Funds Management, the investment firm co-founded by businessman, television star and now Conservative leadership candidate Kevin O’Leary.

Meanwhile, Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown is calling for longer-term measures to address housing supply shortage.
Brown has asked the government to establish a panel of experts to develop housing market measures.
The average selling price for all properties in the Greater Toronto Area in March was $916,567 — a 33-per-cent jump from the same month last year…
