I’m inviting Minister Guilbeault to join me for a drive to see firsthand the gridlock Ontario drivers face every day on some of the busiest roads.
He is so out of touch with Ontario drivers. The Federal Government needs to get on board.
Ontario is not currently considering a lockdown in response to COVID-19.
The province continues to put in place enhanced measures to protect the health of all Ontarians.
Businesses should continue to follow the advice of the Chief Medical Officer & check for updates.

I’ve directed Metrolinx to not proceed with these changes.
