DEFERRED VOTES

VOTES DIFFÉRÉS

The deferred vote on the amendment by Mr. Hudak to the motion by Mr. Duncan respecting the Budgetary Policy of the Government, as follows:-

That the motion moved by the Minister of Finance on March 25, 2010, "That this House approves in general the budgetary policy of the government," be amended by deleting the words following "that this House" and adding thereto the following:

"Supports the principle that if you do not lose your job, you do not get severance; and

Cannot support Premier Dalton McGuinty's decision to pay six-month severance packages, worth as much as $45,000 each, to more than 1,250 HST tax collectors who will transfer to the federal government without losing a day of work; and

Strongly opposes this government for:

Failing to address any uncertainty in the provisions the McGuinty Liberals negotiated and ratified in the

­ Collective bargaining agreements it concluded in 2006 and 2009;

­ Comprehensive Integrated Tax Coordination Agreement;

­ Ontario Tax Plan for More Jobs and Growth Act, 2009; and

­ Human Resource Agreement for the transfer of staff from the Province of Ontario to the Canada Revenue Agency,

Resulting in severance payments to HST tax collectors who will transfer to the federal government without losing a day of work; and

Failing to enact measures in the budget that amend the Ontario Tax Plan for More Jobs and Growth Act, 2009, including Schedule R, section 50 and the Comprehensive Integrated Tax Coordination Agreement, including Part XI and Annex "C" ratified and confirmed thereto.

Concludes that if the McGuinty Liberal government is incapable of protecting the interests of Ontario families when it comes to so-called severance payments to HST tax collectors, then it cannot be trusted with stewardship of the provincial finances.

Therefore the government has lost the confidence of this House."
