The Ornge executive who lied about having an MBA has been stripped of his title as chief operating officer.

CTV News has learned Rick Potter has been transferred and placed in charge of an Ornge transition program that ends March 31.

There is no word on what happens to Potter after that program winds down this month.

Conservative MPP Frank Klees has been hammering Minister of Health Deb Matthews for weeks, demanding Potter be fired.

Matthews has told reporters she would "fire" any member of her staff that lied about having an MBA.
