‎Premier Kathleen Wynne is urging Ottawa to put the $3.3 billion from selling its 73.4 million GM shares ‎toward transit and infrastructure — just as Ontario did.

It's the latest Salvo in her ongoing war of words with the Conservative government over what she says is a shortage of ‎federal cash for infrastructure.

“I think it would terrific if they took that money from those GM shares and invested in transportation and transit infrastructure,” she told reporters at Agincourt Collegiate Institute where she spoke to students about anti-bullying.

Ontario sold it's remaining GM shares earlier this year for more than $1 billion.

“The money from those GM sales is going into funding transit and transportation infrastructure. We have been very clear that is the need at this point,” Wynne said.

Both Ottawa and the Ontario government acquired GM shares in 2009 after providing about $10.6 billion in aid to the automaker.

Ontario made $4.8 billion in financial assistance available to GM and Chrysler, in partnership with the federal government.

Federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver has been criticized for selling off the shares at a loss in order to balance his budget.
