At the end of a tumultuous year in provincial politics, which began with Premier
Kathleen Wynne trying to salvage her government and ended with her in control of
a Liberal majority government, the Citizen’s David Reevely talked to her about
some of the most controversial decisions she’s made and the most difficult
challenges she’s taken on. This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.
In November, Finance Minister Charles Sousa’s fiscal update showed that just
since July, he’d had to revise forecasts of government revenues down by $500
million but had only found $200 million in spending cuts, chewing up a third of
the $1-billion contingency fund built into the province’s budget this year. It
makes the Liberals’ repeated promise to eliminate a $12.5-billion deficit by
2017 look increasingly difficult to achieve. via
