The vacation is over for Ontario Finance Minister Rod Phillips.
Premier Doug Ford said on Thursday afternoon that the minister resigned after taking a secret trip to a luxury Caribbean destination in the middle of the province-wide COVID-19 lockdown.
“Today, following my conversation with Rod Phillips, I have accepted his resignation as Ontario’s Minister of Finance,” Premier Doug Ford said in a statement on Thursday afternoon.
Big.
Audacious. Brazen. Bold. Blindly entitled.
The most disturbing thing about Phillips’ St. Barts vacation is the level of planning that went into the cover up. The level of detail in the deception from Phillips clearly shows that he, and those around him, wanted this well hidden from the public.
It s #ChristmasEve. To my constituents in #Ajax & people across Ontario, all the best during this special time of year. Even as COVID-19 changes how we celebrate, we should reflect on what makes Christmas so special to us - including family & the act of giving. #MerryChristmas! pic.twitter.com/AX7hKWA88n Rod Phillips (@RodPhillips01) December 24, 2020
