Opposition members at Queen's Park aren't very happy with the provincial budget.
Kenora-Rainy River M-P-P Howard Hampton says yesterday's budget isn't going to help ordinary Ontarians. Hampton says there seems to be a lot of window dressing, but not a lot of help for communities struggling with job losses.
"If you take out the money the province has to spend every year on infrastructure just to fill the pot holes on the highways, and make sure hospitals and schools roofs don't leak, there's not an incredible amount of new money for infrastructure here," says Hampton.
Hampton adds harmonizing the provincial sales tax and the Goods and Services Tax will make life more expensive.
