Ontario Premier Doug Ford is asking a Niagara MPP to be mindful of the groups he associates with.
Ford was asked about Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff's speaking engagement last night, to a group that compared abortion to the Holocaust.
"I'm never one to dictate what their beliefs are," Ford says "I told him he has to be very mindful" with the groups he associates with.
The opposition parties have called for Oosterhoff to be removed as the education minister's assistant.
N-D-P leader Andrea Horwath says in a tweet that Oosterhoff would rather support a group insulting the memory of millions of murdered Jews than focus on students facing an unprecedented challenge.
Liberal leader Steven Del Duca tweeted it's inappropriate for the education minister's parliamentary assistant to attend an event attacking a woman's right to choose.
