Ford slams feds for not testing his finance minister returning from vacation

Premier denounced the federal government for not testing his cabinet minister and others who are returning from international vacations.

Phillips was reportedly not given any kind of test after ignoring advice not to travel from officials.

“I’m extremely alarmed that only 25% of my caucus members reported quarantining after travelling outside the country,” explained Ford at a press conference. “There are photos of [Phillips] on show him interacting with members of the public dated on the day he should have been in quarantine! Somebody has to be held accountable!”

Ford renewed his promise that if the federal government isn’t going to start a testing program, he will find a more competent province to do .

“If negligent people, like sworn MPPs entrusted with managing Ontario’s budget, can walk the streets after arriving from a hotbed, we have a huge problem,” added Ford.

Meanwhile, Rod Phillips explained that if he ever heard of the coronavirus, he would have never travelled.
