Social groups worried about provincial gloomy economic outlook

Conservative Newmarket-Aurora MPP Frank Klees said he is aghast that a government can outline a problem without offering a solution.
“The most disturbing comment from the province is that they have no idea how to get their financial house in order,” he said. “It sends the wrong message to every single tax payer, the business community and the entire global community.”
“This does not auger well for Canada, Ontario and York Region. Good stewardship means having a duty to prioritize investments. The (Premier Dalton) McGuinty government has failed the people of Ontario.”
The specter of social service program cuts further jeopardizes those at risk in York Region, Mr. Klees said.
“Priority must be directed to our most vulnerable, children and seniors,” he said. “The government should have prepared a contingency plan.”
