Jennie Stevens, Wayne Gates and Jeff Burch kicked out of legislature as province sits to pass a bill imposing a deal on education workers.
Three Niagara MPPs were among a group of MPPs that were kicked out of the legislature today.
Jeff Burch, Wayne Gates and Jennie Stevens were tossed from the chamber after questioning the government on its plan to impose a contract on education workers.
Interim NDP Leader Peter Tabuns was also booted from the chamber.
The province plans to extend today's sitting until midnight in an effort to pass a bill to ban a strike by education workers.
My colleagues and I were ejected from the legislature today. When the govt attacks the Charter, quality education and its workers that are paid the least.

I stand with you, and won't stop fighting. #onpoli #39kIsNotEnough @CUPEOntario @osbcucscso
I was removed from the legislature today for standing in support of education workers. We won’t be silenced. We are going to keep the pressure on this government to respect the Charter, trash their anti-worker legislation, and get back to the bargaining table #onted https://t.co/0bu67tBP2Q
