TORONTO – Ontario’s Auditor General has confirmed that Doug Ford is attacking our environment and deceiving Ontarians on the impacts of the projects he continues forcing through with MZOs. Doug Ford’s government is the first in nearly two decades that is taking Ontario backwards in the fight against the climate crisis.
“Trusting Doug Ford with our environment is like trusting an arsonist with a pack of matches,” stated Ontario Liberal Leader, Steven Del Duca. “Today’s damning revelations by Ontario’s Auditor General show a government and a Premier that don’t believe in climate change, focused only on their political goals.”
Ontario Liberals made our province a leader in the fight against climate change, closing coal power plants and building a robust electric vehicle market with subsidies that were later canceled by Doug Ford. Today’s report shows that Ontario’s progress has not only stopped, but it has gone backwards under Doug Ford.
“Ontario Liberals will have a strong plan to once again make Ontario a leader in the fight against the climate crisis,” added Del Duca. “We owe it to our kids and grandkids to take immediate and real climate action.”
