Ontario Liberal MPP Yasire Naqvi slams Tim Hudak

“The Ontario Liberal plan makes the right choices and takes strong action to balance the budget, grow the economy and create jobs,” said Naqvi.  “The Hudak PCs keep making the wrong choices – opposing the budget before reading it and trying to force a costly, unnecessary election that puts the economy at risk.”

“While Ontario Liberals worked hard to find common ground to pass the budget, the Hudak PCs abandoned Ontarians from the get-go, refusing to offer a single suggestion” said Naqvi.  “Instead of rolling up their sleeves to make this minority government work, the Hudak PCs are willing to put our growing economic momentum at risk with a costly, unnecessary election.”

The Ontario Liberal budget will balance the books by 2017-18 – the most important step to keep the economic recovery on track while supporting strong schools and quality public health care:

• $17 billion in efficiencies to contain costs

• Freeze corporate taxes
• Freeze pay for MPPs and Executives; and negotiate a pay freeze for teachers and doctors
• Constraining program spending growth to 1%
• Protect education with full-day kindergarten, smaller class sizes, higher test scores, and 30% off tuition
• Keep public health care strong with the lowest surgical wait times in Canada, 200 Family Health Teams, and better access to doctors and nurses

 “Ontario Liberals are making the right choices to build a stronger economy that supports Ontario families and their jobs,” said Naqvi.   “The PCs keep making the wrong choices and have no plan other than to oppose.”

 “The PCs are in denial and out of touch, proving once again that Tim Hudak still isn’t up to the job,” concluded Naqvi.  “Now more than ever we need to move forward together with the strong action in our budget to keep the economy on track.”
