The next Ontario election leaders’ debate will be hosted on Monday night, this time in the provincial capital, Toronto, ahead of the June 2 election.
The debate, taking place at the TVO Broadcast Centre, will be from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. EST, and moderated by TVO’s Steve Paikin and Toronto Star’s Althia Raj.
In the last debate, which took place in North Bay last week on May 10, the leaders fielded questions pertaining particularly to housing and transportation in the Northern region of Ontario.
Causing controversy in this second debate, however, are the rules from the broadcast consortium running the debate that has advised the debate will be “open to all major party leaders running candidates in all Ontario ridings that currently have an elected MPP sitting in the provincial legislature.”
