Meanwhile, Horwath highlighted a plan to scrap the nurse wage-hike cap, and Del Duca repeated a handgun-ban pledge
The project was originally planned under the previous Liberal government, but Mr. Del Duca has not committed to the idea. Mr. Ford appeared to allude to recent comments from Ottawa Centre Liberal candidate Katie Gibbs, who said recently the money would be better spent on transit.
Ms. Horwath, speaking just south of Queen’s Park near downtown Toronto’s major hospitals, said as one of its first moves, an NDP government would repeal the PCs’ Bill 124, which limits annual wage increases for public-sector workers to 1 per cent for three years. “So how can you trust the very people that broke our health care system to be the ones to fix it?” she said. “I think Ontarians understand that very, very clearly.”
The PC Leader batted away questions about reports that a lack of power capacity had cost the region a massive battery-component plant, saying the government was building new power lines to the area. Earlier, Mr. Del Duca said Mr. Ford had failed to address the issue of power capacity sooner, noting the PC leader tore up green energy contracts after he was elected.
