Ontario, CAW slam green plan

[CHIMO]

OTTAWA — Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and auto union leader Buzz Hargrove accused the Conservative government Tuesday of unfairly using the province to meet its environmental goals while letting Western Canada’s oil patch off easy.

The two were responding to Ottawa’s plans to impose new emissions regulations on car manufacturers.

“One thing we will not abide is any effort on the part of the national government to unduly impose greenhouse-gas emission reductions on the province of Ontario at the expense of our auto sector,” McGuinty said.

Said Hargrove: “This threatens the entire industry in Ontario.”
