Ontario's Progressive Conservatives have prorogued the legislature until after the federal election, a move the Opposition called an "abdication of responsibility" as the province fights a fourth wave of COVID-19.
The government said Friday that the legislature will return on Oct. 4, two weeks after Canadians head to the polls.
"With a federal election underway, during which each party has put forward dramatically different policies and funding commitments that will have a direct impact on our government's legislative agenda, we have made the decision to prorogue the legislature," government house leader Paul Calandra said in a statement.
