[编者按] 在竞选过程中，遇到对手出如此招数，那么Shawn Chen该如何应对呢？可能只有三种结果吧？第一，完全不理，等于没有看到一样；第二，礼貌回应，告知已收到来信，正在准备，时机成熟时就公布给对方；第三，那就是马上公布。结果将是如何呢？大家拭目以待吧！
SITSABAIESAN CALLS ON CHEN TO RELEASE HIS FISCAL PLAN
New Democrat candidate Rathika Sitsabaiesan (Scarborough North) penned the following letter to her opponent Shaun Chen demanding he provide transparency on Liberal spending plans.
Dear Shaun Chen:
As you know, yesterday, my leader Tom Mulcair delivered on his commitment to provide Canadians with our fiscal framework.
I’m proud of our balanced, progressive plan that delivers on the priorities of Scarborough North families. Priorities like health and long-term care, building needed transit and infrastructure, kick-starting our manufacturing sector, and delivering one million affordable childcare spaces.
To date, Justin Trudeau has refused to do the same. That’s not fair to the voters of Scarborough North. That’s not the transparency they deserve.
We are asking you to immediately release your costing plans in order to answer Canadians’ questions like, exactly how large your deficits will be in each of the next three years? How do you expect to eventually balance the budget? Are you simply delaying cuts to vital services, planning to increase service fees or do you plan to sell off assets? If so, what assets are you planning to sell and how much do you expect to collect from this sale?
So many questions remain unanswered. You owe it to Canadians and the voters of Scarborough North to answer them.
We are asking that you be clear with Canadians and release your fiscal plan immediately.
Thank you,
Rathika Sitsabaiesan, NDP Scarborough North candidate
