Priorites for Ontario held an exciting debate on Ontario's environmental priorities with Donna Cansfield representing the Liberal Party, Blair McCreadie representing the Conservatives, Peter Tabuns representing the NDP and Victoria Serda representing the Green Party.  There were good discussions of policy approaches and the kind of thinking that will be needed to address the environmental challenges facing Ontario.
