“It’s time to show the receipts” Stiles calls for value-for-money audit into Ford’s $30M luxury private jet purchase

QUEEN’S PARK — Marit Stiles, Leader of the Official Opposition, is calling for a value-for-money audit into the Ford government’s callous private jet purchase to get transparency for taxpayers about the Premier’s shopping spree:

“Ontarians deserve to know exactly how much this ‘mistake’ cost them. Doug quietly signed off on a nearly $30 million private jet, hoping nobody would care, only to flip-flop days later under public pressure. It’s time to get some answers on Ford’s reckless spending spree.

“Today, I’ve asked the Auditor General to conduct a full, independent investigation into the purchase and resale of this jet, including all the costs Ontarians may be on the hook for.

“Families are being told to tighten their belts, while this government wastes millions behind closed doors. Every dollar lost on this deal is a dollar that could have gone to hiring nurses, building homes, or helping people afford groceries.

“Ontarians deserve answers and real accountability. It’s time to show the receipts, Doug.”
