New Democrat Leader Andrea Horwath says she will release her election platform when shes ready and not before.

Howarth was asked why she wasnt releasing that platform instead of reannouncing measures as she did Thursday when she talked about increasing minimum wage and cutting business tax.

Wheres your platform? bellowed one television reporter when she was finished touring Torontos Paintbox Catering and Bistro.

We are rolling out a few other ideas over the next couple of days and we will certainly have not only our full platform . . . but also the costing as well, said Horwath, who refused to say when that would happen.

I will be laying out the specifics when the platform comes forward, she said before her handlers hustled her away from reporters.

The Liberals platform is the May 1 budget, which failed to pass, and the Tories have not been shy about where they are heading, including cutting 100,000 public sector jobs, freezing teacher salaries and suspending financial assistance to students and seniors.

Liberal campaign spokeswoman Rebecca MacKenzie said it only stands to reason there is no NDP platform.

No one knows anymore what Andrea Horwath stands for so its not surprising the NDP is having a hard time writing it down in a platform, MacKenzie said.

Asked about polls showing the New Democrats losing ground, Horwath said, There are many, many days left in this campaign where we are really just starting out.

Our platform is one that has some very sensible ideas in it . . . that respond to the priorities of Ontarians and I want to make sure that Ontarians know that they have an option when it comes to their vote on June 12.
