Caroline Mulroney touts change for Ontario Tories in first campaign event
TORONTO — Caroline Mulroney, the latest addition to the Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership race, says that while the party needs to make major changes, she would still use the previous leader’s platform as a starting point.
Mulroney, the daughter of former prime minister Brian Mulroney, said that the previous platform came out of a grassroots effort that involved the entire party.
“It’s an important starting point for us,” said Mulroney on the platform, dubbed the “People’s Guarantee,” which promised to invest in Toronto’s subways and cut income taxes, among other policies.
Mulroney, who is up against former MPP Christine Elliott and former Toronto city councillor Doug Ford, said she would also support cuts in hydro rates and child care rebates if elected as the next premier.
