Ontario PC Party chair Tony Miele sent an email to ministers days after the party’s caucus retreat in Blue Mountain .

It outlined the expectation for a donations blitz during the fall and winter months .

Cabinet ministers were instructed to submit a fundraising plan to the party by Sept. 20 .

The email also bears the hallmarks of a Liberal-era scandal in which cabinet ministers were given fundraising quotas in 2016 .

A spokesperson for the Premier’s Office said the email was sent by mistake.

Global News attempted to retrieve the email from several chiefs of staff in the Ford government with little success.

Some reported that there were no records, while another denied the request claiming the three pages containing the email on government servers were related “to political business activities” and therefore wouldn’t be disclosed.
