Hazel McCallion will face cross-examination today in a conflict-of-interest case that could see her removed from office.

The Mississauga mayor’s accused of interfering in a land deal involving her son.

Peter McCallion was involved in a plan by World Class Developments to build a $1.5-billion hotel and convention centre near Mississauga city hall.

The deal eventually fell through, but not before the mayor voted on legislation that could have saved the development company $11 million.

In court Thursday, McCallion testified she had no idea her son, a real estate agent, owned shares in the development company and was named as a guarantor on documents.

The mayor admitted she saw the documents but missed seeing his name on them because the lighting was bad and she didn’t have her reading glasses.
