What we're doing at Queen's Park
Our official opposition caucus has been working to ensure the provincial government has been communicating with Ontarians about emergency preparedness planning around COVID-19. We have been asking about plans for our public services, hospitals, workers and small businesses.
Our leader Andrea Horwath has met and continues to work with Premier Ford and other party leaders on the province's response, and has called for the provincial government to release details of their plans with Ontarians.
