TORONTO — Ontario’s finance minister has resigned from his cabinet position after going on a Caribbean vacation during the pandemic.
Premier Doug Ford says he has accepted Rod Phillips’s resignation as minister.
Phillips returned to Ontario this morning after spending more than two weeks in St. Barts despite provincial guidelines urging people to avoid non-essential travel.
Ford says he has asked Treasury Board President Peter Bethlenfalvy to assume the role of minister of finance and deliver the government’s 2021 Budget.
More coming.
