Orders of the Day |
Ordre du Jour |
The Order of the Day for resuming the Adjourned Debate on the Motion for an Address in Reply to the Speech of Her Honour the Lieutenant Governor at the Opening of the Session having been read,
The debate was resumed , and after some time,
Mr. Hampton moved,
That the motion be amended by adding the following thereto:-
That the Address in Reply to the Speech of Her Honour the Lieutenant Governor at the Opening of the Session be amended by striking out all the words after "We, Her Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, now assembled ...", and substituting the following:-
"deplore the Tory government's intention to sell Ontario's secure public electricity provider to the highest bidder, while it squanders the education of our children and bankrupts our health care system; and
Whereas this government caters to its big business friends in the corporate, for-profit energy sector shields polluters from public scrutiny and inflicts sky-high rate hikes on vulnerable electricity consumers; and
Whereas this government has ignored its own report, abandoning school-aged children by failing to provide extra-curricular activities; and
Whereas this government allows special interest groups like the Ontario Medical Association to dictate health care policy that favours pay raises for doctors instead of ensuring province-wide access to publicly-funded health care services provided by salaried medical teams; and
Whereas this government continues to recklessly endanger the environment by slashing the Environment Ministry's staff and budget, risking the security of Ontario's water supply; and
Whereas the Conservatives condemn low-income families to living in unsafe, unhealthy over-priced housing by failing to build affordable housing and removing rent controls; and
Whereas this government forces people to work 60-hour weeks in order to keep their jobs;
Therefore this House rejects the Tories' `accountability' agenda and demands that the government apologize to Ontarians who have suffered chaos in their schools and hospitals, inequality at their workplaces, and unsafe water and air. The House demands that the government maintain a publicly-owned electricity supply and abandon its agenda to privatize water and sewage systems. It demands that the government reform primary care, end competitive bidding practices and restore quality, publicly-funded home care services in Ontario. This government must cease its attack on the poor by ending the 60-hour work week, by raising the minimum wage immediately to $7.50 an hour, by ending the claw back of the federal child tax benefit, and by investing in safe, affordable, licensed child care services for working families."
|
After some time, pursuant to Standing Order 9(a), the motion for adjournment of the debate was deemed to have been made and carried. |
Après quelque temps, conformément à l'article 9(a) du Règlement, la motion d'ajournement du débat est réputée avoir été proposée et adoptée. |
|
The House then adjourned at 6:00 p.m. |
À 18 h, la chambre a ensuite ajourné ses travaux. |
