TORONTO — Kathleen Wynne has created three dozen different panels to advise the Ontario government since she became premier last February because the Liberals are tired and out of ideas, Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak said Tuesday.

“Thirty-six panels in nine months has to be some kind of record,” Hudak said as he launched an attack against Wynne during question period. “Why is it the only way you can get a good job in the province of Ontario is to be on another Liberal panel?”

The New Democrats also wondered why the Liberals needed so many expert panels to advise them when they’ve been in power for more than a decade.

“If they haven’t figured out what the people of this province want and need in terms of good government, then they’ve been asleep at the switch for an awfully long time,” said NDP Leader Andrea Horwath.

A fired-up Wynne told the legislature she wasn’t about to apologize for consulting the public on issues such as funding public transit, supporting Ontario’s horse-racing sector and increasing the minimum wage. The previous Conservative government always acted without first talking to people, added Wynne.
