Ontario Liberal Leader Responds to Minister Rod Phillips’s Abrupt Departure from the Ford Government

TORONTO – Ontario Liberal Leader, Steven Del Duca issued the following statement:

“The departure of Doug Ford’s Long-Term Care Minister while more than half of Ontario’s nursing homes have COVID outbreaks is a total abdication of leadership and a sign of pure chaos in Ford’s Conservative Party. Doug Ford’s incompetence has turned a health crisis into a crisis of leadership. Over the past few months, Ontarians have felt abandoned by Doug Ford and his Government, and Minister Phillips’s abrupt departure is just another example of that. I would like to thank Mr. Phillips for his years of public service.”
