Premier Doug Ford has spoken about a recent chat he had with Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff.
Oosterhoff is facing backlash after speaking at a pro-life event last night.
One of the organizers of the event, the National Campus Life Network, had a Tweet that has since been deleted, comparing abortion to the Holocaust.
Ford condemned the comments made by the group, and says he encouraged Oosterhoff to exercise discretion regarding such events in the future.
"I told him he has to be very mindful of groups that he's talking to, speaking to."
You can listen to the Premiers full comment regarding Oosterhoff's appearance below:
Opposition Andrea Horwath has been vocal about her disapproval of Oosterhoff's appearance at the event, and is calling for the Premier to take action.
Doug Ford's MPP is scheduled to headline an event tonight with a group that compares every women's right to choose to the horrors of the Holocaust.
