At a news conference, commenting on the declining numbers in the legislative press gallery, Dalton McGuinty said governments need the media to ensure the public gets the information it should have, especially when politicians decide to change course.
"As a matter of enlightened self-interest for any government of the day of any political stripe, you need an informed citizenry if you want to take them places where they may be uncomfortable going," he said.
Earlier this year, McGuinty asked reporters to keep five feet away from him during scrums.
