ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Debate was resumed on the motion that this House approves in general the Budgetary Policy of the Government.

Le débat reprend sur la motion portant que la présente Assemblée adopte en général la politique budgétaire du gouvernement.

After some time,

Après quelque temps,

Mr. Tory moved that the motion moved by the Minister of Finance on March 23, 2006 "That this House approves in general the budgetary policy of the government" be amended by deleting the words following the words "that this House" and adding thereto the following:-

"Recognizes that the budgetary policy put forward by the Minister of Finance continues the McGuinty government's legacy of broken promises and demands more and more from taxpayers while delivering less and less; and that this House condemns the government for:-

Not living up to its promise to balance the budget, and actually making strong efforts to avoid doing so;

Using questionable accounting tricks to inflate an artificial deficit that suits their own political agenda;

Failing to support Ontario farmers and their plight while simultaneously cutting the Ministry of Agriculture more than $240 million;

Suffocating the Ontario economy and competitiveness with out of control taxation, spending, and ill-advised electricity policy and allowing Ontario to fall further and further behind the rest of the country in economic success and growth;

Losing more than 80,000 well-paying manufacturing jobs under their watch and failing to have an overall plan that will aid the many communities now affected by mass layoffs and plant closures;

Allowing and implementing more than $2,000.00 in government fees and charges to accumulate on Ontarians' pocket books under their watch and as a result of their policies.

Therefore the government has lost the confidence of this House"

On motion by Mr. Kormos,

Sur la motion de M. Kormos,

Ordered, That the debate be adjourned.

Il est ordonné que le débat soit ajourné.
