Miller Calls for Action to Create Jobs After McGuinty Fails to Deliver - Again

News:

 

QUEEN’S PARK – Despite Ontario’s urgent need for action in the face of unprecedented deficits, job losses and high unemployment, the 2010 McGuinty Liberal budget failed to put jobs first. While other economies are recovering from the recession, Ontario is being left behind.

 

MPP Norm Miller called on Dalton McGuinty to take Ontario down a new path and urged the government to implement the Ontario PC Caucus’ affordable and practical ideas that would create jobs and grow Ontario’s economy right away. These ideas can be viewed at www.10for2010.ca

 

Together with his Progressive Conservative Caucus, Norm Miller also stood up for Ontario families and tabled a new idea by announcing he will propose an amendment to the 2010 Budget Bill that would cancel the $25 million severance payout to the HST tax collectors who are not losing their jobs.

Quotes:

 

“The McGuinty government is on track to double Ontario's debt, and interest payments. Ontario needed a budget that demonstrated a real plan to resume its place as the best place in the world to invest, start a business and create jobs. This budget does none of those.”

-- Norm Miller MPP Parry Sound - Muskoka

 

“Families in Parry Sound - Muskoka deserve better than to see their government failing to produce jobs while doubling our Ontario debt. Dalton McGuinty’s budget plan has failed to provide real action to create jobs. Our ’10 for 2010’ plan will help create real jobs and grow our economy today.”

-- Norm Miller MPP Parry Sound - Muskoka
