Ontario's legislature has reconvened for a brief spring session, aiming to address the implications of U.S. tariffs on local businesses. Experts suggest Premier Doug Ford's throne speech will outline strategies to support Ontarians affected by these tariffs. This session is particularly notable as it follows Ford's re-election amidst a rare winter vote. Additionally, the election of Donna Skelly as the first female Speaker marks a historic moment in the legislature's history. With only 23 days scheduled, the government faces challenges in passing significant legislation before the summer recess.
"I think the immediate priority is obviously going to be whatever supports you can provide Ontarians in the face of Trump and his tariffs."
"The spring session will be short-lived, lasting just 23 days in total including Monday's sitting to elect the speaker."
