Vote: The secret Liberal bailout of MaRS developer

May 30, 2014 2:02 pm
Crisis, Scandal

MaRS bailout could cost up to $477 million

PCs say Wynne hid $317M bailout of MaRS developer

The Kathleen Wynne government is quietly moving to buy a potential white elephant of a downtown building for $317 million and stuff it with government bureaucrats, Ontario Tories alleged Thursday.

Newmarket-Aurora PC MPP Frank Klees, who is not seeking re-election, released a number of confidential cabinet documents Thursday that point to a taxpayer-funded rescue of the 20-storey MaRS Phase 2 project. Completed this year at the corner of College St. and University Ave., those behind the project are struggling to attract tenants.

The documents state that since the Ontario government guaranteed a $234 million loan to construct the building — and the project is in danger of defaulting due to a lack of tenants — the recommended course of action is to purchase it outright in part to avoid damaging the MaRS brand.

Liberals’ Wynne denies PC allegations of secretĀ real-estateĀ bailout

The Globe and Mail
The Ontario Progressive Conservatives have accused Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne of secretly approving $317-million to bail out a real estate development for a downtown Toronto research centre. But Ms. Wynne says the deal was confidential because it isn’t finalized and would actually save taxpayers money in the long run.
