Ford plays show-and-tell while small businesses suffer: Horwath

QUEEN’S PARK — Official Opposition Leader Andrea Horwath released the following statement:

“Today, Doug Ford had a chance to level the playing field for small businesses. Instead he’s rigged the game for his big fish buddies.

He wants credit for playing show-and-tell with a vaccine certification app that should’ve been available weeks ago like it has been in other provinces. The app still has loopholes and problems, including the fact that it doesn’t deal with medical exemptions.

Ontarians did their part by getting vaccinated. Local mom and pop shops have done their part, and they support vaccine certificates. But they deserve hope and a plan. They deserve financial support to put the vaccine certificate checking program into action. And they deserve a government that’s here for them, and for everyday families – not just Ford’s big fish buddies.”
