So now he is planning to make cuts to all services. Again, he blames the deficit. The very deficit that he was aware of when he was making promise after promise.
CP24 - The Tories became famous for their tax cuts. The Liberals may soon become famous for program cuts. Premier Dalton McGuinty is warning there may be cuts to all provincial services in an attempt to get the $5.6 billion deficit.
“We have a significant fiscal challenge before us. And we're not going to tackle this by nibbling around the edges and merely tinkering,†he said in Ottawa on Wednesday night. “We're going to take a couple of months to make that case so people understand that there's a need to do something beyond the usual.â€
The Premier explained that the government will publicize a few options as far as spending cuts are concerned next year. Ontarians will be able to make their voices heard before the next provincial budget comes down. But McGuinty admitted each and every program will go under the microscope, as his team attempts to do battle with the deficit, which was passed on from the recently ousted Tories.
Meanwhile, some claim the Liberals are using the deficit as a crutch or an excuse to break campaign pledges. But the Liberal boss says he was surprised by former provincial auditor Erik Peters’ announcement that it stood at $5.6 billion.
