Orders of the Day

Ordres du jour

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Marit Stiles moved,

Marit Stiles a proposé,

Whereas Ontarians are experiencing a cost-of-living crisis driven by low wages and corporate greed; and
Whereas costs associated with the climate crisis are also increasing, including grocery and insurance prices, infrastructure damage, and natural disaster response; and
Whereas the Ontario Government has made the climate crisis worse and more expensive by eliminating funding to make homes more energy efficient, cancelling clean energy projects, and removing protections from farmlands;
Therefore, the Legislative Assembly calls on the Ontario Government, in partnership with the federal government, to subsidize the cost of heat pumps and other energy-saving retrofits for all Ontarians, in order to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce energy bills.

Debate arose and after some time,

Il s’élève un débat et après quelque temps,
