Doug Ford Sr. was an Ontario P.C. MPP for Etobicoke–Humber from 1995 to 1999.

“I used to visit him all the time here,” he said.

Ford wasn’t prepared to fully discuss what he planned to talk about with his caucus on Tuesday.

“First, I’ll thank everyone for coming together, united. We have a big job ahead of us and a lot of heavy lifting to do,” Ford said.
