Hudak and PC's response to Liberal Platform

Dalton McGuinty has finally released the Liberal platform that he has intentionally withheld from voters for much of the campaign. Just like in 2003 and 2007, McGuinty's platform is a transparent attempt to distract attention from the giant elephant in the room - the fact that he will raise taxes to pay for his "promises" and out of control spending.

Toronto - Sep. 5, 2011 - Dalton McGuinty has finally released the Liberal platform that he has intentionally withheld from voters for much of the campaign. What we've always suspected has now been confirmed.

Just like in 2003 and 2007, McGuinty's platform is a transparent attempt to distract attention from the giant elephant in the room - the fact that he will raise taxes to pay for his "promises" and out of control spending.

Since 2003, the Liberals have increased program spending by an average of 7.2% per year, doubling Ontario's debt. His platform plan to tackle Ontario's deficit is non-existent. Even Ontario's Auditor General has acknowledged that "additional changes in policy or operations" would be needed to "achieve [McGuinty's] fiscal targets".

Instead of addressing Ontario’s debt and deficit, he has made new promises like the $10,000 Affirmative Action for Foreign Workers program that helps those outside Ontario get jobs in the province and leaves out Ontario workers.

Only Tim Hudak and the Ontario PC Party can bring the change and relief Ontario families need. Make sure to check out changebook to see our plan for tax relief, improving services like health care and education, and standing up for the things hardworking families value.

Support Tim Hudak and let Dalton McGuinty know that Ontario won’t be fooled for a third time.

Don’t let the elephant stomp on your wallet again.
