It’s been almost three years since the statue of Sir John A. Macdonald at Queen’s Park was boarded up, and that’s not about to change any time soon. From brianlilley: Boards around statue of Sir John A. Macdonald not coming down soon
The decision to remove the boards, or the statue itself, reside with the all-party Board of Internal Economy which makes decisions on a unanimous basis. Board members recently asked the legislature’s Procedure and House Affairs Committee to study what should be done..“The advice of the committee will assist the board as it reflects on the future status of this installation,” a spokesperson for the Speaker’s office said this week.
She added that the committee is working collaboratively in a non-partisan manner to protect the future of Queen’s Park and that the fate of the Sir John A. statue will be part of that. That’s not the view of the government, which wants to see the committee and the Board of Internal Economy deal with this sooner rather than later.Article content
