HUDAK SHADOW CABINET TO FOCUS ON JOBS AND ECONOMY
Hudak selects Frank Klees as Transportation and Public Infrastructure Critic
(Queen’s Park) – Leader of the Official Opposition, Tim Hudak (MPP Niagara West - Glanbrook) is pleased to announce that Frank Klees MPP for Newmarket-Aurora is appointed to the position of Official Opposition Critic for Transportation and Public Infrastructure.
“With his experience as a Minister of Transportation and Minister of Tourism, along with being an MPP in both government and opposition, Frank Klees has a history of service focused on the best interests of Ontario families,” said Hudak. “In his role as critic for the Ministry of Transportation as well as Infrastructure, Frank will be holding Dalton McGuinty accountable to ensure policies and investment are focused on recovery and prosperity for the people of this province.”
“Our Caucus will provide a principled conservative plan and a winning alternative to the failed leadership of the McGuinty Liberals,” said Hudak. “I am looking forward to working with Frank as the critic and to expanding our party together as we work to victory in 2011.”
“Infrastructure and Transportation are priority portfolios and I look forward to assuming those responsibilities on behalf of the PC Caucus,” said Klees. “York Region will be particularly affected by provincial transportation and infrastructure planning and funding policies.”
Under Dalton McGuinty, Ontario’s taxes and government waste have hit new heights. Meanwhile, on Dalton’s watch, Ontario lost 330,000 manufacturing jobs, became a have-not province, and has a record $18.5 billion provincial deficit.
“We need innovative ideas grounded in conservative principles in order to get Ontario moving,” said Hudak. “Together, united and strong, we can focus on the issues that matter to middle-class families, defeat Dalton McGuinty and the Ontario Liberals, and bring prosperity to our province.”
"The people of Newmarket-Aurora are fortunate to have an MPP of the calibre of Frank Klees representing them in the Ontario Legislature," Hudak said.
