Liberal corruption and the Conservatives' plan to cut public sector jobs dominated last night's leader's debate Tuesday.

Wynne was on the defensive over the gas plants scandal. She apologized repeatedly for her government's cancellation of two gas plants that could cost as much as $1.1 billion.

Horwath said Liberal corruption is the campaign's central issue, and questioned the math behind Hudak's jobs' pledge.

Hudak defended his promise to create a million jobs — and vowed to resign if he didn't live up to it.

Some political observers say last night's televised debate featuring Ontario's top three political leaders generated few sparks and gave little help to voters.

One of the biggest potentials for conflict was around Tory Leader Tim Hudak's "Million Jobs" plan, since opponents and economists have criticized the math used to explain it.

Ryerson University politics professor Wayne Petrozzi says Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne and NDP Leader Andrea Horwath needed to hammer him on specifics, but they didn't.

Green Party of Ontario Leader Mike Schreiner was left out of the debate.

There will not be any other televised leaders debates. Voters go to the polls June 12.
