Queens Park is back in session and I’m here covering it for @WesternStandard

Stan Cho on the hotel rooms he charged while living in midtown Toronto: “I made a mistake. I made a decision that was for my famiy. I have a young baby at home, I was just having a hip replacement… But that doesn’t excuse the fact that I made a very low judgment."

John Fraser on MPP Stan Cho’s hotel expenses and subsequent raise: “Only in the Ford government can you misuse taxpayer dollars and then get a raise a couple of months later… You can spend $16,000 on a hotel room six subway stops away from where you live.”

Premier Doug Ford on the private career college scandal: “There’s a bunch of criminals… I hope these crooks go to jail because they’re nothing but a bunch of fraudsters.”

Ontario Liberal Critic for Training, Colleges and Universities Tyler Watt spoke about a woman he met who is living in her car who just had her OSAP frozen. He said it is the Ford government's fault.

Education Minister Nolan Quinn on the OSAP private-college freeze: “Once we realized that the tips were becoming a little bit more widespread, that’s why we brought in a third party auditor… We’ve investigated over 3,200 different complaints since 2020. These are serious criminal allegations. These are bad actors and we have to act to protect taxpayer dollars.”

Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles on the OSAP private-college scandal: “You have to ask yourself, is this just gross incompetence by this government, or is there something more sinister going on?”
