LAURIE SCOTT PRESSURES MCGUINTY GOVERNMENT TO
PUT THE FROST CENTRE SIGN BACK UP

The Liberal government has removed the Frost Centre sign that had been located in front of the building.

Today in the Ontario Legislature, Laurie Scott, Haliburton-Victoria-Brock MPP, asked Management Board Chair Gerry Phillips to put the sign back up.

“What sort of signal are you sending to the working group,” asked Laurie Scott. “What sort of signal are you sending to the people who have been trying to keep the Frost Centre programs alive. Minister will you keep your word, will you put the sign back up.”

The Minister indicated that he would have the sign put back up.

When Laurie Scott asked him when the sign would be put back up, the Minister indicated that the sign would be put back up “by the weekend”. He went on to say “I’ll even bring up my hammer if need be.”

“This is tremendous news. When I heard the sign had been removed, I was worried that the government might be moving away from their support of the working group,” Laurie Scott said. “We need to persist in our efforts until we find a solution that will allow us to save the Frost Centre. I will continue to watch to make sure that the government supports the efforts of the working group.”
