“People are turning up at hospitals to find there’s not enough staff to help their loved ones,” newly minted NDP Leader Marit Stiles told her caucus last week when discussing their legislative priorities. Ford says he did nothing wrong when developers, who are family friends, attended his daughter’s stag-and-doe event last summer at $150 a ticket. Media reports cite sources as saying lobbying and government relations firms were asked to buy tickets.
The integrity commissioner is already investigating another complaint from Stiles about the government and developers. She sought an investigation into Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Steve Clark and what she calls “curious timing of recent purchases of Greenbelt land by powerful landowners with donor and political ties to the Ontario PC Party.”Article content

The leader — and only caucus member — of the third opposition party, the Greens, will also be the focus of some attention when the house resumes. Mike Schreiner has said he will “think about” a plea from a group of Liberals to seek the leadership of that party. Since saying last month he was considering their arguments, Schreiner has not given any indication which way he might be leaning.
