TORONTO \u2014 The Opposition says it won’t let Ontario’s Liberal government “change the channel” on allegations of bribery in a Sudbury byelection with the new sex education curriculum.<\/p>\n

The first update to the curriculum in 17 years was released before question period Monday, but the government did not face a single query on it from either the Progressive Conservatives or New Democrats.<\/p>\n

Interim PC Leader Jim Wilson says the Liberals rushed out the curriculum after they came under increased fire over Elections Ontario’s findings that there was “an apparent” violation of a bribery section of the Elections Act.<\/p>\n

Premier Kathleen Wynne had said last week it would be weeks before the revised sex-ed curriculum would be released, but Wilson says the Liberals decided it could help take the focus “off their scandals” now.<\/p>\n

Wynne says one of the reasons she wanted the curriculum released Monday was so the information would be public before a protest planned for today on the front lawn of the legislature.<\/p>\n

The protest against the sex-ed curriculum will take place at the same time as today’s question period, and Wilson says the only Conservatives expected to attend are the candidates for the PC leadership.<\/p>\n

He says the Tories won’t fall into the Liberals’ trap and will focus on the Feb. 5 byelection, which the OPP is investigating to see if charges should be laid after a candidate alleged he was offered a job or appointment to step aside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
