Ms. Lisa MacLeod: My question is to the Acting Premier. Today, as we speak, there is a court hearing downtown. At that hearing, your lawyers are fighting to stop a judge from reviewing thousands of documents when deciding whether your party broke election laws or not. We would like to know what is in those documents that has caused you to dispatch a battery of lawyers to block a judge from seeing this evidence.

Hon. Dwight Duncan: The member opposite knows this is a matter before the courts. It would be completely inappropriate for me to comment on it. I'm certainly not familiar with what's in those documents in any event, but what I can say is this: People do want to know about health care and the future of health care in this province. They want to know why that member and her party want to cut $3 billion from health-

Interjection.

Hon. Dwight Duncan: That member and her party have fully disclosed that they'll have to close hospitals, they'll have to let nurses go. They've fully disclosed that they'll shut down full-day learning. That's what's important to Ontarians: to stop that kind of mentality and build better public services for all Ontarians.

The Speaker (Hon. Steve Peters): Supplementary?

Ms. Lisa MacLeod: Not one iota of his rhetoric is true. He knows it. In fact, that party has become-

The Speaker (Hon. Steve Peters): I ask the honourable member to withdraw the comment she just made.

Ms. Lisa MacLeod: Withdrawn.

Publicly, you and your officials have kept insisting that there are no formal connections between you and the Working Families Coalition and that you have nothing to hide. Judging by the answer I just heard, there clearly is something to hide, because if you truly had nothing to hide, then why are you trying to stop a judge from looking at all the evidence when he rules on whether or not you broke election laws?

What is in those documents that you don't want the public to see?

Hon. Dwight Duncan: I will remind the member opposite of what Elections Ontario said in response to their complaint on this issue. They said, "In our view, the evidence does not support the allegations that the" Working Families Coalition "was the agent of or was acting on behalf of the Ontario Liberal Party."

The member had to withdraw a comment, Mr. Speaker; you made her withdraw it, quite appropriately, because it was inappropriate. She's asking, in my view, a question that was responded to by Elections Ontario in an appropriate fashion. The only thing being kept hidden from Ontarians is how many hospitals you will close, how many nurses you will lay off, how many kids will lose their teacher and how you are going to pay for your $3-billion-to-$6-billion tax cuts.

We're going to stand up for strong, better public services, and we welcome the support of all Ontarians-

The Speaker (Hon. Steve Peters): Thank you. New question.
