Bruce Grey MPP Says Hydro One Sale Misguided

Ontario's Liberal government used its majority Wednesday to pass the budget, which clears the way for the sale of Hydro One.

Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound Conservative MPP Bill Walker along with members of both opposition parties are putting up a loud fight in an effort to stop the sale.

Walker says it's yet another misguided action by a government that is addicted to spending and racking up debt.

The MPP says the public should not be letting the government get away with the sale, noting the province’s eight watchdogs, including the ombudsman and auditor general, echoed the same concern when they signed a joint letter to oppose the move.
