Welcome back to Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature.
Every Sunday, Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our staffers at The Trillium to talk about the week that was at Queen's Park — and the week ahead.
Joining us today is reporter Jack Hauen, who breaks down the latest developments on what everyone is talking about: the sudden, permanent closure of the Ontario Science Centre.
He also reveals the details of a new report — which the Ford government refuses to release — that says Ontario's move to privatize employment aid has left behind a lot of people on social assistance.
Public servants say Ontario's job aid overhaul is disincentivizing help for those who need it most, in a report the Ford government declined to release.

"It's ... concerning that a lot of this is moving into private hands," @maytree_canada says.#onpolihttps://t.co/0HWXExa0w1
