QUEEN'S PARK - Today, Lisa MacLeod, PC MPP for Nepean-Carleton, revealed that, as part of a pattern of trying to cover up their dismal record on the economy, the bloated debt and skyrocketing hydro bills, Liberal cabinet ministers are playing fast and loose with the facts, hoping to pull the wool over the eyes of Ontario families. Energy Minister Brad Duguid continues to say that Ontario is moving past coal-generated electricity toward cleaner sources of energy, yet coal use rose by 28 per cent last year. In January, the National Post published a letter by Dwight Duncan where he wrote that Ontario's deficit has been reduced by 25 percent over the last year - when the real number is in fact three percent. In January, in a CFRA interview, Bob Chiarelli stated that his government was freezing public sector wages and was then forced to admit he was wrong. He was later forced to admit that, when he said on air that tens of thousands of green jobs had already been created, he was wrong. QUOTES: "Increasingly desperate to paper over their shameful record of mismanagement, the Liberals aren't going to let something as small as the facts get in their way. When it comes to the current Ontario government, credibility is cheap." - Lisa MacLeod, MPP Nepean-Carleton, critic for Government Accountability
"Given their record of hiking taxes and doubling the debt through costly scandals and failed energy experiments, it's no wonder the McGuinty Liberals will say anything they can to avoid having to defend their dismal record." - Lisa MacLeod, MPP Nepean-Carleton, critic for Government Accountability
