Ontario Premier Ford defends decision to not implement paid sick days
Description
April 7, 2021
When asked about paid sick days on Wednesday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford again defended his decision not to implement provincially-mandated paid sick leave because of a federal program that would provide financial assistance for those who need it. “There is a program out there. If I put the word Ontario and not put Canada, would you be happy? It’s the same tax payer,” said Ford.
