TORONTO — Premier Kathleen Wynne offered an apology Tuesday for the cancellation of two gas plants that will cost taxpayers at least $585 million.

Wynne had previously rebuffed calls for an apology, saying only that she regretted the cost of cancelling the plants, which was more than double what the governing Liberals had claimed.

But she finally apologized on TV Ontario’s The Agenda, saying she was “very sorry” for the mistakes the government made.

In fact, the premier said she was sorry 11 times during her interview with host Steve Paikin.

“The people of Ontario need to hear that I’m sorry because I am, I am sorry,” she said.

“I’m sorry that we didn’t have a better process up front. I’m sorry that we didn’t site those gas plants better and that’s why a new protocol needs to be in place.”

Wynne’s apology came after both she and her predecessor Dalton McGuinty testified at a committee looking into the cancelled gas plants.
