A rookie Progressive Conservative MPP is in hot water for shouting “Why are you still here?” at former Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne while she was asking a question in the legislature. York Centre MPP Roman Baber says he was “just joking around” when he shouted, “Why are you still here?” at former premier Kathleen Wynne while she was asking a question in the legislature. Liberal MPP Michael Coteau told Baber in the house to “show some respect,” and was visibly unhappy at the barb. Last week, NDP MPP Marit Stiles (Davenport) publicly apologized after twice calling Tory MPP Dave Smith (Peterborough-Kawartha) a “f - - - - - g a - - - - - e” during a night debate. Robert Benzie is the Star's Queen's Park bureau chief and a reporter covering Ontario politics.
