Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell has accepted Premier Kathleen Wynne’s advice to prorogue this session of the legislature as of this afternoon.
MPPs won’t be away from Queen’s Park for long as the Liberals plans for the next session will be laid out in a Speech from the Throne Monday at noon.
Wynne says the speech will set out the government’s plans.
”We know families are under a lot of pressure, whether it’s the cost of childcare for their kids or the cost of homecare for their parents,” said the premier.
”It will outline how we will do more for people, how we won’t pull back at a time when people most need that support.
Tory Leader Doug Ford says in a statement, that by doing this the Liberals want you to think this is a reset for their government.
”But the people of this province know better. There is no reset on 15 years of Liberal waste and political corruption.
We’ve seen this story before. Kathleen Wynne is untrustworthy. Her government will say, do, and promise anything to cling to power. She is only interested in saving her own political career.
There most recent broken promise – plunging Ontario back into a deficit – shows they don’t care about keeping their word.
For 15 years Ontario families have struggled, and watched as Liberal insiders and elites grow rich. But I am here to tell you that the Premier’s days are numbered.”
