Earlier this week Tim Hudak leader of the Ontario PC party penned an open letter to outgoing Premier Dalton McGuinty . He detailed many of his grievances against the prorogation and urges McGuinty to recall the legislature.
The consequence of your decision to prorogue means that we are unable to take the meaningful action required to rein in government spending and enact policies to kick-start private sector job creation.

Tim Hudak, MPP
Leader of the Official Opposition and of the
Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario
