Manage episode 419049386 series 3569769
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.
On the show today is Editor-in-Chief Jessica Smith Cross, part of The Trillium team of journalists recently nominated for a CJF Jackman Award for Excellence in Journalism for their in-depth reporting on the influence of land developers in Ontario politics.
Should tenants be on the hook to the Canada Revenue Agency if their out-of-country landlord doesn't pay their taxes? That question made plenty of headlines this week, as The Trillium reported.
Privacy breaches were also in the news, with the Ford government tabling legislation that would allow the province to set cybersecurity regulations for the broader public sector, including hospitals, schools, Children's Aid Societies and other public institutions.
As part of consultations on the bill, Education Minister Stephen Lecce announced he'll be calling in the heads of the big tech companies to discuss the online safety of kids with the government and with law enforcement.
Get caught up on all the details — and more — in this instalment of Trillium Talk.
