Protection at the pumps from gas gouging

Theres nothing more annoying than watching gasoline prices suddenly jump just when you need to fill your car. In an ideal world, we wouldnt rely on our cars but for many Ontario families driving is something you simply need to do. Other provinces have brought in measures to protect drivers from sudden price spikes at the pump. Gas price regulation sets a ceiling for gas prices and ensures that you know what the price will be all week. Its a practical, effective way to protect drivers from an unpleasant surprise at the pump. We will instruct the Ontario Energy Board to set a gas price

We are committed to building green energy. In Ontario, there will still be a role for small private producers, cooperatives and others who want to sell power back to our grid, but large-scale electricity generation must be publiclyowned, publicly accountable and affordable. Secret contracts with private power producers are not the way we will do business. We will respect the contracts the government has already signed. We will make changes over

Creating and protecting good jobs Change that gets people working to grow our economy. To get Ontarios economy back on track we need to make jobs our priority. Looking at the governments policy, youd be hard pressed to believe that creating and protecting jobs mattered. In Ontario today, we allow companies to export our raw resources instead of developing and processing them here. We send public money abroad to buy goods and products that could be made or grown here in Ontario. We hand out billions of dollars in tax giveaways to corporations even when they move jobs out of Ontario. This doesnt make sense.

after ten years of corporate tax giveaways, job-creating investments have actually declined. Rather than upgrading equipment or training employees, corporations have been accumulating cash not hiring new workers. According to Statistics Canada, Ontarios corporate sector added $83 billion to cash holdings over the last decade while many of those same companies issued lay-off notices.

Our healthcare system will be facing serious challenges in the years to come. We need to be smart about how we confront these challenges. Hitting patients with user fees or forcing them to look to private healthcare isnt a solution. We know that these fees only make it harder for you to get the care you need and, in the long-run, do not save our province money. Short-sighted cuts to services and front-line staff wont help either, and for the same reasons. We can control health costs. We have to start putting
