Opposition gears up for long-awaited return of the Ontario legislature [Video]

The Ontario NDP says it wants to keep focus on government controversy but may look to extend a collaborative hand as politicians return to Queen’s Park for the fall sitting after an extended summer break.

NDP Leader Marit Stiles said she wanted to use question period and a limited number of opposition days in the legislature to ask questions about topics that have bubbled through the summer and remind both voters and Ontario Premier Doug Ford that an RCMP investigation into the Greenbelt scandal continues.

“We’re going to be asking questions about some of the issues that all, to some extent, shadow what happened with the Greenbelt,” Stiles said in an interview with Focus Ontario.

“The expropriation of the farmland in Wilmot, the way that everybody’s been asked to sign NDAs, what is the government hiding there? The Ontario Science Centre move. This ridiculous plan to build a tunnel under the 401.”
