Premier Doug Ford defended his government's use of the notwithstanding clause to enforce anti-strike legislation.
Ontario NDP members were removed from the legislature after accusing Premier Doug Ford and Education Minister Stephen Lecce of lying.
Sixteen members of the Ontario New Democratic Party were escorted out of the legislature one-by-one during Wednesday’s question period after making outbursts over legislation that prevents education workers from striking.
Among those kicked out was Sudbury MPP Jamie West. Union says strike will begin Friday even though it would be illegal.
The union representing Ontario education workers has said it will go on strike “until further notice” unless a non-legislated deal with the government is reached.
