education sectors: In Thursday's nine-page speech from the throne written by Ford's office but read by Lt.-Gov, according to National Observer. Elizabeth Dowdeswell in the legislature the new provincial government vowed to begin a commission of inquiry into the previous Liberal government's expenditures to identify ways to restore accountability and trust in Ontario's public finances. But the speech also included new policies that would affect the future of Ontario's financial and education sectors. At the cabinet's swearing-in ceremony last month, Ford and Finance Minister Vic Fedeli both promised a line-by-line audit of the previous government's spending. We cannot afford to dither or delay. This was restated in the throne speech, along with the Conservatives' aim to balance the budget without creating new taxes for the public, and at a responsible, modest and pragmatic time.
