Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak congratulated Randall Denley on his nomination as the Ontario PC candidate for Ottawa West-Nepean. Hudak applauded and thanked Denley for his unwavering focus on reducing the size and cost of government and kick-starting the economy to create private-sector jobs.

“Through his distinguished career in journalism, Randall has been a trusted voice in this community for many years. He understands the urgent priorities of fixing how the government works and creating the private sector jobs that will lead Ontario back to prosperity,” said Hudak. “While the McGuinty Liberals continue to deepen Ontario’s economic crisis, the Ontario PC Party is promoting solutions to create new jobs and rein in government spending.”

“Better days are ahead for Ontario, but only if we make the tough decisions needed to balance the province’s books and adopt policies that will help get people back to work,” said Denley. “The PC Party has been ahead of the curve on the economy from the start. Our Party is the only one talking seriously about how we get private sector job growth back on track.”

“We need policies that will encourage growth and put us on the path to prosperity,” stated Denley, noting several specific Ontario PC plans for private sector job growth which include:

• Balancing the budget to encourage businesses to expand and hire
• Lowering taxes for job-creating businesses
• Treating affordable energy as a cornerstone of economic growth
• A more flexible and responsive approach to regulation, and
• More skilled trades jobs by modernizing the apprenticeship system.
