LONDON, Ont. — Doug Ford says he isn’t breaking a promise to release a fully costed platform because a list of his pledges contains dollar figures beside each item.
Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives quietly released a compilation of their campaign promises on Wednesday without saying how they would pay for them.
Ford has said he would hire an auditing firm and find billions of dollars in “efficiencies,” but the plan doesn’t indicate what those would be.
He also says a Tory government would run deficits for the first two or three years, but the plan also doesn’t spell out the size of those deficits or a path to balance.
The Liberals and NDP have warned that Ford’s “efficiencies” would really mean deep cuts to public services such as healthcare and education.
Ford says he could find those savings without laying off a single person.
