Today, Premier-Designate Doug Ford confirmed his commitment to keeping the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station in operation until 2024. This commitment will protect 4,500 local jobs in Durham Region and an additional 3,000 jobs province-wide.

此刻，道格福特任重道遠，既要整黨又要執政。擺在他面前的事務，與其說兌現競選承諾，貫徹競選政綱，還不如說整頓黨綱黨紀尤為重要。首先，也是必須，道格福特需要調校政治光譜，擺正政治路線；還要安撫理順黨內派系，鞏固自己的黨魁地位。道格福特能夠得到今天的政治光環多一半受惠勞勃福特的政治遺產庀蔭。他一定要打造自己的陣營，才能在省長的位置上坐得下去。

“We have a team that has already hit the ground running as we prepare to form government and deliver on our commitments to the people,” said Ford, in announcing the leadership of his transition organization. “This team has the judgement and experience necessary to ensure we make a seamless transition into government.”

“It does not matter how you have voted in the past, whether it was Liberal, NDP or PC. It does not matter where you come from, what you do, or where you live. Everyone – from every race, every religion, and every way of life is welcome in our big tent party,” said Ford. “All we ask is for your optimism and belief that Ontario can, and will, do better.”

Doug Ford today visited the site of the former St. Mary’s Papers mill factory to talk about how the Ontario PC Plan For the People will help working people find and keep good jobs and make ends meet. As part of his plan, Ford committed that an Ontario PC Government will use the Northern Ontario Heritage fund to keep the Huron Central Railway open.

Ontario PC Leader Doug Ford today shared additional details about how his Plan for the People will help vulnerable and low-income Ontarians lower their tax bills and keep more money in their pockets.

Ontario PC Leader Doug Ford today complied with the Taxpayer Protection Act, 1999 by formally submitting a letter to Ontario’s Chief Electoral Officer committing that he will not introduce new taxes or increase existing taxes during his mandate.

Under Doug Ford’s Plan for the People, an Ontario PC Government will invest in 15,000 new long-term care beds in five years and 30,000 new beds over the next 10 years, invest $1.9 billion over 10 years in mental health, addictions and housing supports, and provide dental care to low-income seniors.

Ontario PC Leader Doug Ford today announced that an Ontario PC Government will cut the price of gas by ten cents per litre. These savings will be achieved by eliminating the Liberal/NDP cap-and-trade scheme, reducing Ontario’s provincial fuel tax, and stopping the Liberal/NDP carbon tax.

“If you’ve spent time in almost any town in Ontario — you know that small businesses are the lifeblood of their communities,” said Ford. “But small business owners can’t afford to hire expensive lobbyists and they are too busy working to go to fancy receptions and network with Liberal insiders. So, it’s no surprise that Kathleen Wynne has forgotten that small businesses even exist.”
