SPECIAL DEBATES - WANT OF CONFIDENCE

DÉBATS SPÉCIAUX - CENSURE

Mr. Runciman - That, in the opinion of this House, since the Premier has failed to ensure the highest level of integrity for his ministers, and that, while under a cloud of scandal, his government as a whole is sorely lacking vision and any real plan to deal with the urgent issues facing Ontarians and their pocket books, the government no longer has the confidence of this House. Filed on October 13, 2005.

Mr. Tory - That, in the opinion of this House, due to the Premier's weak leadership in dealing with the Caledonia issue and his refusal to even acknowledge the severity of the issue by consistently trivializing the 100-plus days of occupation as having passed "without incident";

And, due to the fact that the McGuinty government has abandoned its own clear-cut conditions precedent for the negotiation talks to resume;

And, due to the injury of 16 OPP officers and the irrefutable damage caused to the image and reputation of the OPP - Ontario's respected police force upon which Ontarians depend to maintain law and order in this province, and for which the McGuinty government is ultimately responsible;

And, due to the fact that the McGuinty government has placed itself in a weak negotiating position and has set a potentially dangerous precedent by purchasing the land while it continues to be occupied by parties subject to a court order which has not been complied with;

And, due to the fact that the McGuinty government has further weakened its negotiating position by resuming negotiations while a majority of suspects named in arrest warrants remain at large (including one wanted for attempted murder of an OPP officer), contrary to Premier McGuinty's own conditions;

And, due to the McGuinty government's refusal to uphold the rule of law as it applies to all residents of Ontario without exception;

The Legislature of Ontario has lost confidence in the McGuinty government. Filed on June 21, 2006.
