Ontario Liberals target ‘fiscal mistakes’ made by NDP as campaign heats up
TORONTO — NDP Leader Andrea Horwath responded to calls from the Liberals to adjust their platform on Monday, saying that the party will stick with their platform even though it’ll cost $1.4 billion more per year than originally expected.
Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne said Horwath has a responsibility to correct the error — in which the NDP counted a $700-million reserve fund as revenue rather than as an expense — as soon as possible.
But Horwath said the party was still committed to it’s platform and said that they would deliver on all of its promises.
“We’ve fixed the problem that was identified,” said Horwath, speaking to reporters after a campaign event in Brampton, Ont., that was attended by hundreds of supporters from southern Ontario.
