A motion asking London Mayor Joe Fontana to step aside while he faces criminal charges will be tabled at Tuesday's council meeting.
The RCMP filed three charges against Fontana last month -- fraud under $5,000, breach of trust by a public official, and uttering forged documents.
The charges relate to alleged inappropriate use of funds when he was a federal Liberal cabinet minister in 2005.
Fontana is due in court January 8th.
