Ontario Premier Doug Ford has announced the resignation of his finance minister who took a trip to the Caribbean while the province remained under lockdown.Mr Ford on Thursday said Mr Phillips' departure showed his government "takes seriously our obligation to hold ourselves to a higher standard".

Mr Phillips, who is a member of the Progressive Conservative Party, had taken a personal trip to St Barts on 13 December and returned on Thursday morning. "Obviously, I made a significant error in judgment, and I will be accountable for that," Mr Phillips said. "I do not make any excuses for the fact that I travelled when we shouldn't have travelled."
