The Ontario Government is proroguing the legislature until after the Federal Election.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford and the PC party have prorogued the legislature until October 4th.
Ontario’s Government House Leader Paul Calandra says part of the reason to prorogue Parliament was to see who wins the election, as each party has different policies.
“With a federal election underway, during which each party has put forward dramatically different policies and funding commitments that will have a direct impact on our government’s legislative agenda, we have made the decision to prorogue the legislature until we have more certainty and can finalize our fall legislation accordingly."
Ontario Liberal leader Steven Del Duca says Doug Ford is skirting his responsibilities.
“Ontario is in a fourth wave with cases rising every day, and Doug Ford just announced he will shut down the legislature until October so that he can continue to avoid responsibility. Everyone knows that Doug Ford has been hiding for the past two months. He needs to go back to work now in order to deliver a real vaccine certificate, a better plan to reopen our schools and to help families get through this lingering public health crisis."
Politicians have been on a summer break since early June. They were supposed to head back to the legislature on September 13.
