McGuinty?s Fictional Budget Definitely Not a Bestseller with Ontarians
Thornhill MPP says growth of crippling debt and lack of job creation are real facts of 2010 Budget
?This budget is an insult to hard-working families in Thornhill who are struggling to make ends meet. It is very clear the McGuinty government is not prepared to make the same sacrifices that families and businesses have been making since the recession hit. Thornhill residents deserve better than to see their government continue with the same high taxes and reckless spending that is failing to create jobs today and will saddle our children and grandchildren with a massive debt for years to come,? said Shurman.
?This budget was an opportunity to take a bold new path to job creation and spending restraint. McGuinty took the easy road, rather than the high road,? stated Shurman.

Thornhill MPP says growth of crippling debt and lack of job creation are real facts of 2010 Budget
(Queen?s Park) ? Thornhill MPP and PC Critic for Economic Development, Peter Shurman declared that yesterday?s budget confirms that Dalton McGuinty will single-handedly double Ontario?s debt by 2012-2013.
?This budget is an insult to hard-working families in Thornhill who are struggling to make ends meet. It is very clear the McGuinty government is not prepared to make the same sacrifices that families and businesses have been making since the recession hit. Thornhill residents deserve better than to see their government continue with the same high taxes and reckless spending that is failing to create jobs today and will saddle our children and grandchildren with a massive debt for years to come,? said Shurman.
Shurman stood up for Thornhill residents by announcing a proposed amendment to the 2010 budget bill that would cancel the $25 million severance payout to the HST collectors who are not losing their jobs. Shurman also called on the McGuinty government to implement the Ontario PC Caucus? affordable and practical ideas that would create jobs and grow Ontario?s economy out of debt right away. These ideas can be viewed at www.10for2010.ca.
?This budget was an opportunity to take a bold new path to job creation and spending restraint. McGuinty took the easy road, rather than the high road,? stated Shurman.
