“It looks like almost for certain that we'll be headed into a campaign in the next 24 to 48 hours,” Cullen continued. “It's disappointing, because we thought some of the things we were putting forward were practical, and something really focussed on making things better for seniors, taking the HST off of home heating fuels, also establishing the retrofit program on a permanent basis and some other things.”
Cullen said a lot of what the NDP were looking for were in terms of creating jobs, the environment, and First Nations, but none of that was there.
