Wynne Vows to Work with Opposition

 The Ontario government is promising to work with the opposition,
the private sector and others to help improve the economy, create
jobs and slay the huge provincial deficit.
 
It's all in yesterday's throne speech marking the start of the new legislative session.
   
But Premier Kathleen Wynne will have to convince at least one of the opposition parties to support the speech to avoid triggering an election.
   
The province plans to tighten corporate tax compliance, work with
public sector workers on wage talks, and give local residents more
say in whether they'll get a wind farm, gas plant or casino.

And along with paying down the deficit, the speech says the
government will push job creation and building a fair society.
