Ottawa Now - Should retail stores be open on STAT holidays?

On Friday, the Ford government confirmed that Ontario’s retail stores will now be open for business on Family Day and Victoria Day. Last month, Premier Doug Ford mused about opening stores during some of the province’s STAT holidays, saying he was disappointed he couldn’t shop at Home Depot during a Holiday Monday. Furthermore, he’s received several calls from people looking to shop over the holidays, and questioned why shopping centres aren’t open for business when restaurants are. This gut call, however, has been pretty divisive. We hear from Sebastian Prins, the Ontario Director of Government Relations for the Retail Council of Canada. Then, Kristy Cameron checks in with Ontario Liberal MPP John Fraser.
