Ontario NDP Statement on gas plant verdict

Toronto-Danforth NDP MPP Peter Tabuns issued the following statement following Friday’s verdict in the Liberal gas plant trial:

“Today's guilty verdict shows that the Liberals will do whatever it takes, at any cost to families, to protect themselves and their party’s seats ahead of an election.

Ontarians are understandably still upset at the more than $1 billion in public money the Liberals blew to save a few seats by moving gas plants in 2011. It's clear that there was a scramble to cover-up their motives. Families are still footing the bill, and are shocked by the lengths the Liberals will go to just to score a few political points.

Ontarians have every right to be concerned about what the Liberals may be prepared to do to protect the interests of the Liberal party ahead of the election this June.”
