Convention workshop looks ahead to the next Ontario budget

Randy went over the sequential series of PC and Liberal Finance Ministers that have eroded the Ontario’s revenue position. 

“They’ll tell ya that we’re broke, but this province has money like you wouldn’t believe,” he told the assembled delegates.
