The past week has been a whirlwind of activity in Ontario politics.

Some have asked about my absence from the Legislature for the vote on May 31.

With the advent of COVID-19, all political parties decided to divide the sitting members of the Legislature into two groups with equal representation from all parties. Separate groups in the Legislature are an attempt to diminish the spread of COVID-19.
