Ontario NDP leader accuses Premier Ford of 'hiding' from Laurentian University 'quagmire'
CBC
The leader of Ontario's NDP is accusing Premier Doug Ford of walking away from the financial crisis at Laurentian University.
But during a stop in Sudbury Wednesday morning, Andrea Horwath wasn't clear on what a government led by her would do differently, other than work with those involved to find solutions.
"You can't actually deal with these kinds of problems if you're not prepared to show up," she told reporters gathered in the Laurentian students' centre.
"Because the government has simply walked away from the crisis here at Laurentian, it's everyday folks who are paying the price."
Horwath did commit to funding a standalone Francophone university in Sudbury.
But while the federal NDP have called for the restoring of all the jobs and programs cut at Laurentian, Horwath said she would only consider that option.
"That's absolutely something that's going to be on the table. We have to rebuild this university. We can't have over half of the positions cut and expect the university to thrive," she said.
