OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Wednesday that his pre-emptive use of the notwithstanding clause in legislation intended to keep education workers from striking is"wrong and inappropriate."
"He also reiterated that Ontario is determined, if necessary, to pass legislation to keep classrooms open and ensure certainty and stability for parents and students now and in the future," the readout provided by the province said. Earlier Wednesday, Trudeau said his government was looking at its options to respond to Ford's use of the notwithstanding clause.
Federal Justice Minister David Lametti didn't bite on a question earlier Wednesday about what options might be on the table.
