TORONTO \u2013 Ontario\u2019s legislature is set to take a 14-week winter break, less than two months after resuming from a 19-week summer break.<\/p>\n
Members of provincial parliament typically resume sitting at Queen\u2019s Park after the holidays in mid-February, following Family Day.<\/p>\n
Today, on the last day of sitting this year, government House leader Steve Clark says the legislature won\u2019t be back until March 23.<\/p>\n
He says it is important that politicians go back to their ridings, hear from their constituents and do work to implement the legislation they have passed.<\/p>\n
Liberal parliamentary leader John Fraser says that length of a legislative break is \u201ccrazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner says the government has also been fast-tracking its bills and limiting debate, all of which undermines democracy.<\/p>\n
