QUEEN’S PARK – Premier Wynne needs to reappear before a Legislative Committee to explain why her sworn testimony on the Liberals’ $585-million gas plant scandal conflicts with at least six other key witnesses, Cambridge-North Dumfries PC MPP Rob Leone said today.

“Saying you’re sorry is different from telling the truth,” Leone said. “Premier Wynne is still failing the people of Ontario by refusing to come clean on what she knew about the gas plant scandal.

“The cover up continues. We need a judicial inquiry to get to the bottom of this matter. How this happened, who’s accountable and if taxpayers can get their money back – while ensuring no government is able to do this again.”

Leone referred to the Committee’s interim draft report, which shows the testimony by the Premier and numerous Liberal political aides fails to line up with the testimony of energy experts and professional civil servants – leaving a number of key questions unanswered.

“Already, several political aides have admitted to deleting documents, correspondence and emails,” Leone continued. “In all likelihood, these actions were in breach of the law – and if any witness is found in contempt of parliament, they could face extremely serious consequences.”

In addition to Premier Wynne, the PC Caucus intends to recall former Premier Dalton McGuinty and former Energy Ministers Brad Duguid and Chris Bentley to testify in front of the Committee, as well as other Liberal political aides.

“The Liberals are evading questions and spinning tales – further evidence of a government in chaos,” Leone concluded. “It’s time for them to get their facts straight, and actually be accountable to Ontarians for a change.”
