David Williams was expected to retire in February, but said it would be ‘irresponsible’ to leave his post in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic

Ontario Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams speaks during a press conference during the COVID-19 pandemic in Toronto on Nov. 20, 2020.The Ontario government is looking to extend the tenure of its top public-health doctor, arguing the province needs stability during the COVID-19 pandemic, in the face of criticism from the opposition and some in the medical community about his performance.

“I just do not ever believe in changing a dance partner in the middle of a dance, especially when he’s an incredible dancer like Dr. Williams,” Mr. Ford said on Monday. “People are legitimately concerned about whether Dr. Williams actually advised Doug Ford to do these dangerous things – or, rather, if Dr. Williams is just justifying political decisions,” Ms. Singh said.

“It seems to remain cloaked in mystery at this point. And the mystery surrounding his advice doesn’t do much to enhance the public trust in decisions being made,” Dr. Lapointe-Shaw said.
