Drummond Report Will Usher In "She-cession" For Ontario's Women
The Ontario Government hired economist Don Drummond to create a report that identifies potential cuts to Ontario's budget. The paper recommends greater service and job cuts than the right-wing Harris Conservatives implemented when they governed in the 1990s. If enacted, the proposed cutbacks will affect women more than men. According to During the economic downturn of 2008-2009, Ontario families relied on women's incomes to pay the bills as many males had been laid off. It appears that more Ontario families will be put out of work as a result of Drummond's suggestions.
