The province’s labour minister and minister of finance will be making an announcement this afternoon as Ontarians eagerly await details of the Ford government’s plan to improve paid sick leave for vulnerable essential workers.

Monte McNaughton, the province’s minister of labour, training and skills development, along with Peter Bethlenfalvy, Ontario’s finance minister and president of the treasury board, will hold a news conference at Queen’s Park at 3:15 p.m.

But earlier this week, media reports revealed that the Ford government’s plan for paid sick days involved topping up the payment already offered to workers through the federal government’s Canada Recovery and Sickness Benefit . “Rather than pass legislation here in this chamber that would actually bring paid sick days to Ontario workers, this government wants to piggyback on a broken federal system that is not working for working people,” Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said Tuesday.

Speaking to CTV News on Tuesday, Dr. Abdu Sharkawy, an infectious diseases specialist in Toronto, said the province is simply “passing the buck” to the federal government.
