Premier Doug Ford spent time on Wednesday arguing Bill 124 does not exist as his government continues its appeal process on a court decision which struck down the legislation.
Two weeks ago, the province filed an appeal of a court decision which found the bill to be unconstitutional.
Bill 124 capped pay increases for most pubic sector workers at one per cent for the three years.
Ford says he can’t be out spending money, needing to take many things into consideration.
“I always have to be a prudent fiscal manager with the tax payers money. We can’t be out there spending willy nilly. People are working their backs off, they are taxed to their brink right now.” said Ford.
The financial accountability office found the government might have to dish out $8.4 billion in salaries if the court challenge landed in favour of the workers.
