Mr. Eves moved,

M. Eves propose,

That the Legislative Assembly call upon the government,

To recognize that the government has imposed retroactive tax increases on the people of Ontario which is bad public policy and to recognize that the government is increasing the tax burden on low and middle income earners while at the same time breaking several of the more than 230 promises made during the 2003 general election campaign,

To honour their promise to the people of Ontario from page 13 of the Liberal Platform document - Government That Works For You: The Liberal Plan for a More Democratic Ontario and "comply with the Taxpayer Protection Act and balanced budget legislation (and) not bend the law at whim." and

That the Liberal government not pass Bill 2 until it has obtained the express permission of the people of Ontario by way of a referendum as required by the Taxpayer Protection Act, 1999 and in accordance with the Taxpayer Protection Pledge from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation signed by Mr. McGuinty. Premier of Ontario.
