Lest we forget the E-Health Ontario Scandal. This agency was the subject of a damning review by the Ontario Auditor General highlighting the mismanagement and incompetence of the McGuinty Government.
Between 2003 and 2009 , this agency wasted Ontario taxpayers money to the tune of 1 Billion Dollars without accomplishing anything under Liberal watch.
Despite all the waste and incompetence of this agency, McGuinty has rewarded its employees with 1.9% merit raises and bonuses of 7.8% in 2011. It pays to be incompetent in Ontario.
After a public outcry, the McGuinty government scrambled to have the raises and bonuses rescinded.
