The NDP has lost on a bit to extend the deadline of the Commission on Long Term Care.
NDP deputy leader Sara Singh says the commission still can’t get information and the government documents it needs to complete it’s work.
“The Commission still can’t get access to important information and government documents, and the government has refused to offer the extension they need to finish their work. Why is the government preventing the Commission on Long Term Care from doing its work?” asked Singh at Queen’s Park on Monday.

All of the NDP’s proposed bill and motions regarding the provincial response to the COVID-19 pandemic have been shot down in the Ontario Legislature.
The NDP was looking to fast-track their progress.
PC House Leader Paul Calandra says none of the motions were put forward in a timely manner.
“Typically, we don’t like to be caught by surprise by motions that are brought to the table. As we have done the entire time since I’ve been House leader, and before me, motions that are brought to the table by surprise are going to be voted down. That’s just the way the process works,” says Calandra.
