ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mr Duncan moved,

M. Duncan propose,

Whereas the Mike Harris government has introduced Bill 96, the so-called Tenant Protection Act, that will gut rent controls in Ontario, raise tenants' rents and make it easier to demolish their homes; and

Whereas Bill 96 is only part of the Conservative's attack on affordable housing that includes cancelling over 390 non-profit housing projects and dumping the massive cost of social housing onto Ontario's municipalities; and

Whereas tenants across the province have denounced Bill 96 during public hearings; and

Whereas the Tory dominated legislative committee refused to support Liberal amendments that would have maintained strong tenant protections; and

Whereas during the York South by-election in May, 1996 Mike Harris promised that "Rent Control will Continue" and that "Tenant protection will be improved under the Mike Harris government"; and

Whereas Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty has committed to scrapping Bill 96 and replacing it with meaningful rent controls;

Therefore, this House calls on the Mike Harris government to stop its attack on affordable housing and to immediately withdraw Bill 96, the Tenant Protection Act.

A debate arising, after some time, the motion was lost on the following division:-
