NOTICES

SPECIAL DEBATES – OPPOSITION DAY

DÉBATS SPÉCIAUX – JOUR DE L’OPPOSITION

4. Mr. Clark – Whereas, a Motion of Want of Confidence is one of the most serious parliamentary tools available to any opposition party throughout the Commonwealth that uses the Westminster system of Parliament;

Whereas, motions of non-confidence are generally moved against governments when governments conduct their affairs that breach the trust of the people;

Whereas, it is not only parliamentary tradition but convention that when a motion of Want of Confidence is called against a government, that the government in question will want to dispense with such a motion so as to prove to Her Majesty and the people that they still retain the confidence of the House and moral authority to govern;

Whereas, the failure on the part of any party to agree to call any such motion for a timely debate and vote is not only an affront to democracy but shows disrespect and disregard toward the will of the people who elected members of an assembly;

Therefore, it is the opinion of this House, that the House Leaders of all the three recognized parties shall schedule for Tuesday, May 28th, 2013 a debate and a vote on the Motion of Want of Confidence standing in the name of Jim Wilson, MPP (Simcoe–Grey). Addressed to the Premier. To be debated Wednesday, May 15, 2013.

SPECIAL DEBATES – WANT OF CONFIDENCE

DEBATS SPECIAUX - CENSURE

Mr. Wilson – Whereas, the McGuinty-Wynne Governments have repeatedly put the political fortunes of the Liberal Party ahead of both the people and the Province of Ontario, abused their power and wasted hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to cancel gas plants in both Oakville and Mississauga so as to retain Liberal seats and save their own political skins in a desperate attempt to cling to power;

Whereas, the Speaker of the Legislature made a finding of prima facie breach of privilege for nonproduction of documents requested by the Standing Committee on Estimates, which when finally provided, revealed that the Liberal Government had failed to report the true costs of the cancelled gas plants and also exposed inappropriate political interference at the highest levels of the Liberal Government;

Whereas, the Auditor General, in the wake of the growing scandal, sought to expose the true costs of the cancelled gas plants after numerous Liberal Ministers, including then Premier McGuinty and Premier Wynne in her previous Ministerial role, made public pronouncements, both in the House and to the media that were suspiciously low. The Auditor General confirmed on April 15th, 2013 that the true cost of cancelling the Mississauga Gas Plant was $275 million dollars, or 45% higher than what the Liberal Government had repeatedly told the people of Ontario;

Whereas, Premier Wynne, in her former Ministerial role personally Chaired the meeting and signed off on the process that cancelled the Oakville Gas Plant, yet never disclosed her role in this decision until evidence surfaced that showed Premier Wynne, in fact had known intimate details about the true costs associated with the Liberal Government's decision to cancel the Oakville gas plant;

Whereas, conflicting testimony before the Standing Committee on Justice has hindered the Committee's ability to get to the bottom of the gas plant scandal;

Whereas, the gas plant scandals, combined with those at eHealth and ORNGE amount to literally billions of taxpayer dollars being wasted on scandals and expose the McGuinty-Wynne Liberal Government's utter lack of competence and its failure to get the basics right so as to get results for Ontarians; and, these scandals prove that the Liberals will put selfish interests of their Party ahead of the people and Province of Ontario;

Therefore, the Government has lost the confidence of this House. Filed April 29, 2013.
