Spring Election and Doug Holyday Etobicoke Lakeshore

Doug Holyday Etobicoke Lakeshore: Against the backdrop of a possible spring election, the Tories on Wednesday proposed that the provinces soon-to-be-appointed Financial Accountability Officer examine ways to privatize jobs currently done by unionized workers, according to The Star. Tory MPP Doug Holyday Etobicoke Lakeshore tabled a private members bill to end the union monopoly on government contracts as the party aggressively postures against organized labour and Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudaks plan to allow contracting out of more public services is an attack on organized labour, insists Premier Kathleen Wynne. Hudak said the new officer should look at areas of managed competition to ensure that we contract out where possible, where it makes sense for taxpayers services, so that we get the best quality at the best price to the taxpayer.
