ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Notwithstanding Standing Order 42(k), the following Opposition Day motion was debated with unanimous consent.

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mr Wildman moved,

M. Wildman propose,

Whereas the NDP Government's Rent Control Act protects tenants from high rent increases; and

Whereas the 1992 Rent Control Act was the result of extensive consultation with tenants, landlords and other groups; and

Whereas tenants deserve rents that are predictable and fair; and

Whereas gutting rent control will do nothing to stimulate new private sector housing construction or solve maintenance problems; and

Whereas the Mike Harris Conservative Government has cancelled more than 15,000 units of co-op and non-profit housing and has embarked on a plan to privatize public housing; and

Whereas the Mike Harris Conservative Government now wants to gut rent control; and

Whereas the previous Conservative and Liberal governments failed to protect tenants from high rent increases;

Therefore this House calls on the Conservative Government to keep the existing system of rent control, which protects tenants from high rent increases through a cap on rents, and ensures that landlords whose buildings are not properly maintained cannot increase rents; and to ensure that tenants still have security of tenure and access to the courts under the Landlord and Tenant Act.

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