Tories committed to voting down today’s budget

This is budget day and the proceedings from the Legislature can be seen live by clicking the link at the left at 4 p.m. The Premier has defied convention a bit by sharing some of the details: There will be a $260-million investment in home care, a 15 per cent cut to auto insurance rates, new funding for northern roads and bridges and some sort of social assistance reform. The Conservatives however are unimpressed. Leader Tim Hudak says the party will vote against the budget for certain.
