TORONTO – Ontario’s official Opposition is calling on the government to hold a public inquiry into the province’s long-term care system.
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says the province must investigate the system that has been at the centre of numerous deadly outbreaks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the first question period at Ontario’s legislature in months, Premier Doug Ford said his government will review the system but did not commit to holding a public inquiry.
A limited number of politicians from all parties are in attendance to conduct the session while respecting physical distancing.
