Stiles reacts to Ford’s Hail Mary cabinet shuffle

QUEEN’S PARK - Marit Stiles, Leader of the Ontario NDP, released the following statement following Doug Ford’s Hail Mary cabinet shuffle:

“Brutal. After another disastrous year of failures and scandal for Doug Ford, people are worse off. Ford is taking a 19-week extended vacation and giving more of his MPPs a raise in the biggest cabinet in provincial history while people struggle to find a home, get a doctor and make ends meet. It’ll take more than musical chairs at the cabinet table to fix this government.”

Background

• Ford’s bloated cabinet is now the biggest in provincial history at 36 ministers
• Instead of coming clean about the Greenbelt scandal, Ford is promoting one of its key players - disgraced former housing minister Steve Clark
