OPPOSITION DAY

JOUR DE L'OPPOSITION

1. Debated October 11, 1995. Vote deferred with consent until Monday, October 16, 1995.

2. Mr Rae - Whereas the Common Sense Revolution states that "our obligation to those in need is even greater in the case of our children"; and

Whereas the Common Sense Revolution also notes that "children living in poverty suffer from significantly higher infant mortality rates, lower life expectancies and tend to receive poor nutrition and education"; and

Whereas Mike Harris's government is hurting kids who live on welfare through cuts in welfare benefits, because 41% of the people living on welfare are children; and

Whereas the 22% cut in welfare benefits hurts children most of all - children who will have to do without the food, clothing or adequate housing they need, children who have no way to fight back against the cuts; and

Whereas, Mike Harris's government is hurting kids who need day care by cutting the funding for day care provided through jobsOntario Training, so parents can't look for work or take job training; and

Whereas, this punishes families trying to help themselves and makes safe and dependable day care for their kids less accessible; and

Whereas Mike Harris's government is hurting kids who need extra help - abused children, children with disabilities, children from troubled homes - by cutting the budget for services like Children's Aid Societies, children's mental health centres and second-stage housing for women and children seeking refuge from domestic violence and abuse; and

Whereas Mike Harris's government is hurting kids and their families by eliminating jobs, by making it harder for them to make ends meet and harder to get training to get back to work; and

Whereas Mike Harris's government is cancelling early childhood education pilot projects and making junior kindergarten less accessible for children across the province, despite a generation's evidence that education supports in the early years pay huge positive dividends later in children's lives;

Therefore, this House calls on the Mike Harris government to stop hurting Ontario's children, primarily by restoring the benefits it has seized by means of welfare rate cuts, but also by restoring the funding cuts it has made to child care provision, to training, and to social service agencies. Minister of Community and Social Services. To be debated October 17, 1995.
