Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne has prorogued the legislature at Queen's Park.
In a statement from the Premier's office, Wynne says Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell has accepted her advice to prorogue the legislature as of 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
Wynne says Dowdeswell will deliver a Speech from the Throne Monday, March 19, at 12:00 p.m. to launch the new session of parliament.
"No sitting days will be lost due to prorogation," the statement says, "as the legislature is convening for the 3rd session on March 19, 2018, consistent with the Parliamentary Calendar established in the 1st session."
Wynne says the government will reintroduce bills that were before the legislature prior to this to allow debate on them to continue.
