The Progressive Conservatives say decisions on work weeks should be made by the private sector

The Ontario NDP and Liberals are both promising to explore a four-day work week if they win the election.

The Liberals say they would launch a four-day work week -- quote -- "demonstration,'' because the pandemic has shown there is a need to examine work-life balance.

The NDP say they would reintroduce one of their private member's bills from 2021 that would establish a commission to develop recommendations on implementing a pilot project.

The Progressive Conservatives say decisions on work weeks should be made by the private sector.
