Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty says he's stepping down as Liberal leader and is also adjourning the legislature to try and negotiate with the opposition parties.
Beaten down by a series of scandals involving air ambulances and hundreds of millions of dollars spent to cancel two gas plants, McGuinty decided he's had enough.
He made the surprise announcements to an emergency meeting of the Liberal caucus last night after the
government was hit with a second contempt motion over the cancelled power plants.
Meantime, the Opposition leaders are paying tribute to the Premier for his years of public service.
But P.C. leader Tim Hudak and the NDP's Andrea Horwath are urging McGuinty to reconsider his decision to prorogue the legislature.
