Orders of the Day

Ordre du Jour

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition


Mr. Tory moved,

M. Tory propose,

That, in the opinion of this House, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration is the fourth McGuinty cabinet minister to fall under the cloud of scandal;

That, in the opinion of this House, this scandal is a direct result of his failure to ensure the highest level of scrutiny over grants paid out of a year-end slush fund;

That, in the opinion of this House, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration should be expected to be able to answer the most basic questions about these grants, such as on what basis the money was granted and what accountability measures are in place to ensure that the money is used for its intended purpose;

That, in the opinion of this House, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration should table the list of the "hundreds" of groups to whom he spoke about these grants;

That, in the opinion of this House, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration should table the written criteria he used to determine how the grants were allocated; and

That, in the opinion of this House, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration should table any written correspondence between his office and any groups that have received funding outside of existing formal government programs, including any and all application documents. Addressed to the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.
