Oakville/Mississauga Gas Plant Movement

To the Editor (Ottawa Citizen),

The latest numbers indicate that the Ontario Liberal Party once again underestimated the cost of moving Gas Plants in Mississauga and Oakville. With the total now pegged at $585 million, voters in Ontario need to ask themselves just how much more rope are they willing to give Premier Wynne and in Ottawa Centre Yasir Naqvi as the governing party in this province. I would hope that the government has been given all voters are prepared to give them.

The lack of regard for taxpayer’s money cannot be considered as anything but a lack of respect for the hard earned salaries of Ottawa and Ontario workers.

This government has lost the little trust that was given them in election of October 2011. The time is now for the government to face the voters and with that the Ontario PC’s have filed notice of a Non-Confidence motion in the Liberal government following statements from Premier Wynne in committee that the cancellation of the gas plants was a ‘political interest’, not a community interest decision. The premier stated that the gas plant moves are not a matter of confidence and that she should be judged by the budget. As a move to distance herself from her activities under former Premier McGuinty she once again displays forgetfulness for the previous years of debt and overspending that she as a member of the cabinet she supported.

This Premier, her Cabinet and MPP’s should face the voters for their past actions of neglect for the workers and taxpayers in Ontario. The reel of rope has reached its end, we can no longer afford to “give ’em anymore rope”.
