Chiarelli dodges apology for wasted money

Energy minister Bob Chiarelli will say only that the government accepts the Auditor General’s damning report on the  cost of closing the gas powered electric generation plant in Mississauga. But, under pressure from reporters today, Mr Chiarelli avoided saying that the government would apologize for the enormous mismanagement of public money. It has been a recurring criticism of the government and Premier Wynne that no apology has been offered for the decision to cancel the plant for political reasons in conditions that made the public vulnerable to these costs.
