While Ford defended his appeal of the law he said he wouldn’t use Section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to override the judge.
insisted the Bill 28 experience wouldn’t temper him from invoking Section 33 again.
“My hands are tied on what I can say. It’s in front of the courts right now. I can say it was a very interesting verdict, to say the least,” he said. Ford noted Bill 124, a 2019 law that limited most Ontario public-sector workers to annual pay increases of one per cent, has sunset provisions once contracts expire so it “doesn’t exist when they renegotiate.”
“We knew that it was wrong and unconstitutional to restrict people’s right to bargain and restrict their wages — and it’s created a problem in our health-care system,” said Fraser, pointing to the number of nurses leaving the profession after the pandemic.
