ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l’opposition

Mr. Brown moved,

M. Brown propose,

Whereas, the Auditor General revealed that the government’s Fair Hydro Plan could cost Ontarians up to $4 billion more than necessary;

Whereas, the government passed legislation to make their own accounting rules that serve to dilute the impact of their financial decisions;

Whereas, the government’s intention in creating the accounting and financing design to handle the costs of the electricity rate reduction was to avoid affecting its fiscal plan;

Whereas, the government should have recorded the true financial impact of the Fair Hydro Plan’s electricity rate reduction on the Province’s budgets and consolidated financial statements;

Whereas, the government should have used a financing structure to fund the rate reduction that is least costly for Ontarians;

Therefore, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario calls on the Liberal government to issue an apology to the Auditor General and the people of Ontario.

Debate arose and after some time,

Il s’élève un débat et après quelque temps,

The question was then put.

La question a ensuite été mise aux voix.
