The Ontario Liberal Party Platform was released Monday, September 5th, 2011, titled “Forward. Together.” The main focus of the platform is on education, healthcare and clean energy.
The main points of the platform include:
A drive to completely implement North America’s first, full-day kindergarten program by 2014, followed by provincewide after-school programs for children aged 6-12;
A new tuition grant for full-time undergraduate students from lower- and middle-income families that will save $1600 per student in university and $730 per student in college, annually.
Increasing postsecondary attainment by adding 60,000 new spaces including three new undergraduate satellite campuses;
Helping seniors stay healthy at home, with a seniors’ healthy home renovation tax credit for things like ramps and walk-in baths;
Returning house calls for the frail and elderly and providing an additional three million hours of homecare from personal support workers;
Creating 50,000 new, clean-energy jobs through Ontario’s world-leading FIT program; and
Reducing electricity bills by 10% through the Ontario Clean Energy Benefit.
