Back-to-work legislation for the TTC will hit Queen’s Park tomorrow, according to the Toronto Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

Premier Dalton McGuinty signed the order in council this morning clearing the way for an emergency session of the Legislature tomorrow. <\/em><\/p>\n

MPPs will convene at Queen’s Park at 1:30 pm Sunday to debate back to work legislation. <\/em><\/p>\n

Liberal sources told the Star that it will be a “clean” bill – sending the dispute to arbitration, with no special instructions to the arbitrator. <\/em><\/p>\n

The lack of any onerous conditions will make it more difficult for the NDP to oppose it. <\/em><\/p>\n

Both Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory and NDP Leader Howard Hampton will meet with reporters this afternoon at Queen’s Park to discuss their parties’ strategy for tomorrow’s rare Sunday sitting. <\/em><\/p>\n

A draft of the bill should be available later today to give MPPs in all three parties time to vet it. <\/em><\/p>\n

The Sunday passage of the law would guarantee that Monday morning commuters will not be inconvenienced.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
