Kathleen Wynne: Education Minister

Wynne Dept: The former education minister said Monday night she hopes wage freeze contracts can be reached through negotiation rather than being imposed by law as Premier Dalton McGuinty has threatened with Ontario facing a $14.4 billion deficit, according to The Star. But Wynne, who has tried to distance herself from Bill 155, which freezes teacher wages and collective bargaining rights, said she would not repeal it and liberal leadership candidate Kathleen Wynne kicked off her campaign by pledging to repair the minority government s strained relationships with teachers and other public sector workers. I think we re going to see more agreements coming in, Wynne told reporters at a Japanese cultural centre in her riding of Don Valley West, saying that could make the freeze laws moot.
