What a shameful display!

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2013/06/25/toronto-dalton-mcguinty-gasplant-emails.html

"The rules here are confusing and they cry out for clarity," McGuinty testified. "What to destroy and what to preserve is today a matter of judgment. There is no comprehensive list of when to preserve, when to destroy."

At issue was whether top Liberal staffers in McGuinty's office intentionally purged emails about the cancellations of two Toronto-area gas plants.

Opposition MPPs pressed the former premier on whether he directed his staff to delete the correspondence.

McGuinty said the committee must realize that the volume of email correspondence filtering through his office at the time was "staggering," but acknowledged that his government erred as far as locating gas plants and fell short in complying with appropriate recordkeeping practices.

"We failed as a government," he said, adding that staff would have benefited from training seminars about the Archives and Recordkeeping Act.

So the legislation your government wrote is "confusing" and your staff weren't trained properly on how to deal with internal corespondents? Who's fault is that DALTON!?!?!?!?

He called the hearing a partisan exercise. So he's dismissing the investigation of the waste of $600 million plus as a partisan exercise? How arrogant! He was belligerent and completely not co-operative. Yesterday was evidence that this man holds the people of Ontario with contempt.

I didn't see the whole thing, only what is shown on the news, it was pretty bad. As one writer says:

egregious, outlandish, disingenuous and outrageous :lol:

He's accusing his opposition of not wanting the truth as this is strictly a partisan exercise to bring down an elected gov't. Wow, shades of the far left Council of Canadians, and Paul Magdar. :rolleyes:

I watched in disgust. Any elected Liberal member should be red faced and hiding their collective heads in their hands.

The more he doth protest, the deeper he digs the party.

Its really nothing new.

He spent so long blaming the past government he simply did it again out of habit.

The issue being that he was the last one this time.

The Dalton Legacy is growing

Nope, that's Rob Ford, remember?

Damn, I think you might be right. Although, I thought it was George W Bush back in the day, and Mitt Romney just a short while ago. Mike Harris comes to mind as well.

Wow. This forum is going downhill fast. I guess the suspensions ran out.

You're all wrong. My high school principal was Hitler.
