Members of the Ontario New Democratic Party were escorted out of the legislature one-by-one during Wednesday’s question period amid debate over legislation that prevents education workers from striking.
It started when interim NDP Leader Peter Tabuns accused the government of lying to the public. He refused to rescind the remarks, and was told to leave.That’s when MPPs started to shout and bang on tables in protest. One-by-one they were kicked out of the legislature and will be prohibited from returning for the rest of the day.
Education Minister Stephen Lecce has previously said it hopes to pass Bill 28—Keeping Students in Class Act—ahead of Thursday, when the union representing education workers was legally allowed to strike.In order to do so, the Progressive Conservatives have put forward two motions meant to allow them to pass the legislation earlier than expected.
The second motion allows the legislature to sit until midnight from now until the end of the fall session on Dec. 8.
