Hudak Slams Job-Creating Firms: You're "Shady"

QUEEN'S PARK, ON, Nov. 10 /CNW/ - Today Tim Hudak attacked the job-creating firms that are investing in Ontario as result of the McGuinty Government's green-energy policies.

Comparing the investment in new manufacturing facilities to the "gold rush," Hudak slammed the companies creating jobs in Ontario as "shady operators." (Media Availability, November 10, 2010)

In actual fact, small and large companies are creating jobs in the new green-energy sector and investing in communities across Ontario:

Windsor: Schletter Inc. - German manufacturing company, to open first facility in Canada - 100 jobs

Guelph: Melitron - local metal manufacturing plant, won contract to produce new solar technology - 80 direct and 300 indirect jobs

London: Canasia Power Corp. - establishing a solar module manufacturing facility - 300 jobs

Welland: OneWorld Energy - announced plans to kick-start a local "Solar Manufacturing Hub"- 1,000 jobs

Oakville: Solar Semiconductors - India-based company; announced plans to open their first North American operation in the GTA - 200 jobs

Ontario's manufacturing sector and Ontario skilled workers looking for a job are benefiting from new investment and job creation.  Instead of bashing the industry and attacking job-creating companies, Hudak should be praising their decision to locate facilities in Ontario. 

When it comes to creating jobs for Ontario families, Tim Hudak just doesn't get it.
