Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government will buy five police helicopters rather than lease them.
Ontario plans to spend 134-million dollars on five police helicopters.
The cost will be about 100 million-dollars more than what the province's budget in March allocated to lease four choppers.
Premier Doug Ford says the purchases come at the request of police services.
They will be used in Ottawa, Toronto and by the police forces in Durham, Halton and Peel regions.
