Premier Dalton McGuinty is throwing blame back on the opposition for the shut down at Queen's Park.
Speaking to reporters in Toronto for the first time since announcing his resignation nine days ago, the Premier says the opposition's contempt motion against his government is one of the reason he prorogued the legislature.
McGuinty rejected suggestions prorogation was a "cowardly'' way to avoid hearings scheduled into the Liberals' decisions to scrap two gas plants in southern Ontario.
