ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Want of Confidence Motion pursuant to Standing Order 43(a)

Motion de censure conformément à l'article 43(a) du Règlement.

Mrs McLeod moved,

Mme McLeod propose,

Whereas the Conservative government has clearly broken every single promise it made with respect to protecting health care; and

Whereas the government broke its promise not to cut "one cent" from health care spending when it cut more than $1.3 billion from Ontario hospitals; and

Whereas the government broke its promise that, "Aid for seniors and the disabled will not be cut" when it introduced a new user fee on the drugs that sick seniors, disabled persons and the poor are prescribed by their doctors; and

Whereas the government broke its promise that, there would be "no new user fees" when it introduced Bill 26, which will add $225 million worth of user fees to the Ontario Drug Benefit Plan; and

Whereas the government is now planning, through Bill 26, to bestow upon the Minister of Health new unilateral powers which would allow him to close any hospital in the province without public input; and

Whereas the government is now planning, through Bill 26, to grant the Premier and Cabinet new powers that will usurp the rights and privileges of the elected Members of the legislature and thereby the rights of every person in the province;

Therefore, pursuant to Standing Order 43(a), the House no longer has confidence in the government.

And a debate arising, after some time, the motion was lost on the following division:-
