Questions about Premier Doug Ford's relationship with developers and the expansion of private health-care delivery will dominate the return of the Ontario legislature Tuesday when it's set to resume after its winter break.

The first order of business is expected to be a new piece of legislation containing promised health reforms. That will include allowing community clinics and diagnostic centres to perform more procedures and tests, letting health-care professionals from other provinces work in Ontario without registering right away, and allowing nurses and paramedics to expand their responsibilities.

The new legislation will expand cataract surgeries performed in private clinics and allow hip and knee replacements to be completed by private organizations. The province said it will introduce legislation that will protect hospitals from losing staff to these clinics. "People are turning up at hospitals to find there's not enough staff to help their loved ones," newly minted NDP Leader Marit Stiles told her caucus last week when discussing their legislative priorities.

Ford says he did nothing wrong when developers, who are family friends, attended his daughter's stag-and-doe event last summer at $150 a ticket. Media reports cite sources as saying lobbying and government relations firms were asked to buy tickets.

Freedom by rustyrockets gets mentioned

Should be questions about the csis report stating the Chinese communist party installed Trudeau not the Canadian people even the liberals should be outraged that Trudeau was installed not elected according to csis

Their concern might focus on the usefulness of Ottawa regarding the country of Canada.

since our 'dear' mafia leader 'don fat fuck ford' wont even likely be there (as per his usual routine) what difference will this make? I mean he's already too busy shoving his greedy hands into as many mobster developer pockets as he can...and I've seen enough Sopranos already

Will reporters actually question Ford and hold him accountable? And make some noise about it? He seems to get a free pass because people are not informed, have low expectations or just don't care.

Now do Prime Minister, and his cronies😁😁😁

Even the sight of farmland makes Ford apoplectic.

Sadly, he has a majority - so probably doesn't care. Justice will need to arrive from outside the legislature.

Time to turn up the heat on this man Doug Ford fordnation As the product of voter apathy, this Mike Harris clone needs to go

fordnation better be there to answer to the people of Ontario

News flash. All the politicians are corrupt. Especially your favorite one. The cbc is a national disgrace, almost as much as our leaders.

Ask the questions. Why did so many developers pay $1000 each to attend Ford’s daughter’s party?
