NDP: Ford heads into summer after a 30-day legislative session

QUEEN’S PARK — Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles blasted Doug Ford for heading off on another extended summer vacation, after spending just 30 days in the Ontario Legislature.

“The Ontario Legislature sat for just 30 days this session,” said Stiles. “Doug Ford spent that time buying himself a private jet and changing the law to hide his phone records.

“While we were fighting to make life affordable for Ontario families, Doug Ford gutted OSAP, voted against banning surveillance pricing, and against scrapping the HST on food, putting grocery giants’ profits ahead of the people.

“Doug Ford had a choice this session: helping himself or helping the people of Ontario. He chose himself every single time.

“While the people of Ontario are choosing between groceries, gas, and rent, Doug Ford was focused on wasting taxpayer dollars.

“The Premier can spend the summer at his cottage. We’ll spend that time fighting for a more affordable Ontario.”
