ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mr. Miller (Parry Sound–Muskoka) moved,

M. Miller (Parry Sound–Muskoka) propose,

That although in 2002 the Residual Stranded Debt was $7.8 billion, and since then Ontario families have paid $7.8 (billion) in Debt Retirement Charges, and yet the McGuinty government will continue to charge the Debt Retirement Charge on hydro bills.

Therefore, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario calls on the McGuinty government to instruct an external firm to conduct a forensic audit into the residual stranded debt and the debt retirement charge, and make the findings of the audit public.
