Orders of the Day

Ordre du Jour

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mr. Christopherson moved,

M. Christopherson propose,

That, in the opinion of this House, the Government should stop its attacks on the hard-won achievements of working Ontarians, and instead amend the Employment Standards Act to include the following steps toward creating family-friendly workplaces:

· an increase in the minimum wage to $7.50 per hour;

· a reduction of the standard work week, after which overtime premiums apply, from 44 to 40 hours and the right to refuse overtime in excess of the new standard work week;

· one full year of combined pregnancy and parental leave, with full job protection during the leave period;

· ten unpaid days of family responsibility leave for all employees;

· pro-rated benefits for part-time workers; and

That this House demands that the Government rebuild the Ministry of Labour's enforcement capacity by hiring new officers to fill all the employment standards positions that have been cut since 1995; and

That this House calls on the Government to consult the people of Ontario on further measures designed to help working Ontarians achieve a better balance between work and family responsibilities.
