QUEEN’S PARK – Former Premier Dalton McGuinty made it clear today that he is still willing to put his Party’s interest ahead of the interests of taxpayers, PC MPP Vic Fedeli said today.
“Nobody believes Dalton McGuinty,” said Fedeli. “Witness after witness has testified under oath that ‘everyone’ in the government knew about the significantly higher costs to cancel the Mississauga and Oakville gas plants – but the former Premier continues to insist that he didn’t know.”
Fedeli added that much like Premier Wynne and fellow Liberal ministers and staffers, Dalton McGuinty evaded questions and gave testimony contradicted by senior bureaucrats. “From evading questions to shutting down the Legislature, Dalton McGuinty’s legacy on this file is to keep Ontarians from the truth.”
Ontarians deserve honest and truthful answers. Unfortunately, Premier Dalton McGuinty and Premier Kathleen Wynne continue to lie to Ontarians about the half a billion dollars that they wasted to win an election, continued Fedeli. “The Liberals have the most to lose and it is clear that they will say anything to protect their Party’s power.
“Ontarians have been lied to by the Liberals and they deserve the opportunity to voice whether they have confidence in the government. The Liberals and NDP need to bring forward the Ontario PC’s vote of non-confidence to the Legislature.”
Fedeli concluded, “It is time for the McGuinty-Wynne Liberals to stop lying to Ontarians about the $585 million that they spent to protect their political power.”
