A former Tory MPP, Frank Klees, publicly unveiled a confidential legislative report into troubled ORNGE air ambulance, alleging that the public deserves to know the Liberal government ignored repeated warnings about the service. In a teleconference held by Frank Klees on Monday, he accused Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne of deliberately calling the election in hopes to keep the 155-page report away from the public eye.

Klees, who has already announced not to seek re-election in Newmarket Aurora, alleged that the last thing the minority Liberal government wanted was another damning report. According to the press release, Klees stated that ‎the report makes it clear that the Minister of Health, her deputies and others in the government were given numerous warnings about issues at ORNGE, but they were ignored.”

On the other hand, in response to Klees, Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne mentioned in Toronto on Monday that it was the opposition’s fault the legislative committee report on ORNGE was not tabled. She alleged that “If Frank Klees had not voted against the budget along with the NDP then we would still be doing the business of government and that report would have been released.” Wynne further added “that report on ORNGE was supported by the Liberal members on the committee and that interim report would have been released. But he along with his party and the NDP decided it was time for an election.” A recent federal has found that pilots of an ORNGE air ambulance helicopter that crashed a year ago were improperly trained, lacked experience in night operations and should never have been paired together.
