There was a quote from Andrea Horwath today in the Spec about shifting manufacturing to needed products and it mentioned light rail:
"To Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath, the greatest need is to start transforming Ontario's hemorrhaging industrial base.
"The reality is we have a great industrial infrastructure in this province and I fear the government doesn't see the value of that," says Horwath, Hamilton Centre MPP.
Horwath wants the budget to address "how do we transition our economy into the products of the future." Industries unable to stay afloat with traditional lines of business should get aid to make other wanted goods, she says.
"We might not be building the same products, but we would be using that infrastructure to build new ones, whether it's solar panels or the components for light rail."
