The leader of the NDP says the Wynne Liberals are using incorrect numbers when deciding what schools to close and adds they know it. Andrea Horwath says her party has gotten hold of an internal Liberal document that details how well schools are used. The problem says Horwath is the document doesn’t list all the uses. Horwath says that makes it look like some schools are under-utilized. She says the Liberals are aware of this fact but are ignoring it. Horwath is again calling an immediate end to all school closures. The end to school closures is also a demand Tory leader Patrick Brown has made giving a strong indication that in addition to high electricity prices, education will be a major issue in the 2018 June election.
