With one week left on the legislative calendar at Queen’s Park, elected members are ready to pass a raft of priority bills, and square off on key issues, including getting kids back to school and reopening the economy.

Good evening to you.
That was the word from Dr. Theresa Tam, the country’s chief public health officer during today’s COVID-19 update. Thanks to strict public health measures and vaccine rollout that’s ramped up, “things have taken a great turn for the better,” she said. The national case count is the lowest it’s been in weeks, with some 25 million vaccine doses in arms helping to drive that “strong and steady decline.” Today, about 62 per cent of adults have had at least one dose.

Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath on Wednesday urged Premier Doug Ford’s government to call an independent public inquiry into the province’s overall response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking to reporters in front of Queen’s Park, Horwath said the inquiry should begin in September, and continue without a time limit, unlike the government’s commission into long-term care, which began investigating last September and concluded its mandate in April.
