Former premier Kathleen Wynne defended her decision to push hydro costs onto future ratepayers during an appearance at a select committee grilling her government’s accounting practices.
“Our objective was to reduce people’s electricity bills and find the best way to do that,” Wynne said in an exchange with PC MPP Lindsey Park Monday. “I recognized that I was going to be saying to my grandchildren that they were going to be paying for something that their parents couldn’t afford to pay the whole freight for right now. That’s what I recognized.”
Asked if there was anything she could have done differently to avoid the issues raised by her government`s accounting, Wynne replied: “Ì don`t know; I really don`t know. We worked so hard on this and it was months and months of trying to find solutions.”
