After warning that releasing the documents too soon could "drive up costs for taxpayers" by revealing sensitive information, McGuinty said he's "asking the opposition parties to recognize that." The plant in MPP Kevin Flynn's Oakville riding was cancelled in the fall of 2010, a year before last October's provincial election, in what the NDP and Progressive Conservatives call a politically-motivated "seat-saver" program that has already cost taxpayers for the $190 million Mississauga power plant near Sherway Gardens that was cancelled with less than two weeks to go until the Oct. 6 election in 2011. New Democrats were not buying McGuinty's new argument Monday, saying a ruling last week by Speaker Dave Levac in the Legislature found Energy Minister Chris Bentley breached parliamentary privilege by not releasing the documents as demanded in May by MPPs on the estimates committee. "These documents do not belong to the Liberal Party. They belong to the people of Ontario," New Democrat MPP Jonah Schein (Davenport) said. "It's been clear in the ruling of the speaker that we should see these documents." The speaker gave all parties until next Monday to reach an accommodation on the release. McGuinty said his interpretation is that a deal on when to release them must be reached by then -- not the actual release of what could be hundreds or thousands of pages. "Once the negotiations and discussions (with the plant's builder) are completed, we'll make everything public," he told reporters. Conservative House Leader Jim Wilson has warned the minority legislature could come to a standstill unless the documents are produced. That's because his party plans to table a contempt of parliament motion against Bentley and that debate would take precedence over all other business. "When the government will not co-operate with the opposition then we will see a standstill," said Shein. "We'd like to clear that up as soon as possible... we want to make this government work."
