The revelation came moments after Mr. McGuinty said he had asked the Lieutenant-Governor to prorogue Parliament amid continuing fallout from a scandal over the politically motivated cancellation of two power plants and an ongoing battle with organized labour over plans to impose new collective agreements that contain wage freezes via legislation.
