Hudak, Wynne tussle over OPG salaries

Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak has accused Ontario’s Liberal government of mismanaging funds after the auditor general’s report revealed generous salaries, pensions and bonuses at Ontario Power Generation.

“That auditor general report last night should keep you asleep at night. The grotesque waste in our hydro system. after that kind of abuse, no wonder hydro bills are going through the roof.”

But Premier Kathleen Wynne says she has taken action. “Let me be clear: there has not been a government in Ontario that has had the control that I believe needs to be in place. There has not been a government that has put those controls in place. Not the third party, we are putting those controls in place. Ontarians can expect better.”

Wynne’s administration fired three top executives at the OPG yesterday hours after the auditor general’s report was released.
