Premier Dalton McGuinty ensures to protect core public services as Ontario proposes cuts to deal with a $16-billion deficit.
“We’re all going to have a role to play,” he said in his first public event of the New Year.
Economist Don Drummond indicated that he will be putting forward a few complex and untraditional suggestions in his analysis of the province’s public services.
Addressing college students at the University of Waterloo Thursday, McGuinty said Drummond might come up with ideas but it is the government that will decide what and how to do.
“If we’re going to be as effective as we need to be in terms of strengthening this economy and ensuring that we’re getting ever more value for the public dollars that are being invested in our public institutions, whether that’s education at whatever level or health care … then we’re all going to bring something to the table,” he said.
McGuinty added that health, education and environmental protections and employment opportunities will be the government’s focal point.
On the other hand, the Conservatives exhibit zero confidence in McGuinty’s ability to make rough cuts Drummond is likely to advocate in his report.
The opposition alleges Ontario cannot afford the $420-million annual cost of the 30 per cent tuition slashes McGuinty referred to in his address.
