ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

The Order of the Day for resuming the Adjourned Debate on the Amendment to the Motion for an Address in Reply to the Speech of His Honour the Lieutenant Governor at the Opening of the Session having been read,

The debate was resumed, and after some time,

Mr Rae moved,

That the amendment to the motion be amended by adding the following thereto:-

"This House further regrets that the Speech from the Throne shows that this government has chosen to attack the vulnerable and abandon basic services that the people of Ontario depend on, and condemns the government for:

Creating a fiscal crisis in Ontario by promising an irresponsible 30% tax cut for the wealthy, then implementing cuts of $6 to $9 billion in basic services for people in order to pay for these tax breaks;

Failing to put the basic human needs of the people of Ontario ahead of irresponsible tax giveaways;

Failing to honour its commitment to protect the most vulnerable among us, and instead imposing massive cuts to social assistance that hurt children, seniors and those with disabilities;

Abandoning the basic protections for working people by cutting health and safety employment standards and wage protection as well as freezing the minimum wage;

Breaking its promise to protect health care by cutting $132 million from the health care budget including cost-saving initiatives such as birthing centres and the photo health card, and by threatening Ontario's seniors with user fees on the Ontario Drug Benefit plan;

Giving up on the 500,000 men and women looking for work by slashing job training, including a special program to give 66,000 young people their first job and day care funding to let single parents find work, and offering no help or hope in place of these programs."

The debate continued and, after some time,

Le débat se poursuit et après quelque temps,

Pursuant to Standing Order 9(a), the motion for the adjournment of the debate was deemed to have been made and carried.

Conformément à l'article 9(a) du Règlement, la motion d'ajournement du débat est réputée avoir été proposée et adoptée.

The House then adjourned

at 6:00 p.m.

À 18 h, la chambre a ensuite
