Campbell Heads Back to Queen's Park this Week

M.P.P.'s are almost ready for their summer break, but there's still one item of business to clear up first.

The vote on the omnibus budget bill will take place on Wednesday.

Kenora-Rainy River M.P.P. Sarah Campbell is defending some of the amendments the NDP have made to the budget at the committee level.

Premier Dalton McGuinty seems to have backed away on his hardline stance on the budget saying he would call and election if the opposition parties didn't drop some of their amendments.

McGuinty apparently sent an olive branch to NDP Leader Andrea Horwath yesterday, in the form of a letter, saying some of the budget items could be taken out and delayed until the fall for a vote.
