ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mr. Brown moved,

M. Brown propose,

Whereas, since 2008 the Liberal government has paid teachers' unions $3.7 million as part of collective agreement negotiations;

Whereas, the Liberal government has been reluctant to publicly disclose these payments and provide an accounting for same;

Whereas these payments violate the spirit of Section 70 of the Ontario Labour Relations Act which prohibits an employer or employer organization from providing financial support to a union; and

Whereas, there are no spending limits on third-party advertising during elections in Ontario;

The Legislative Assembly of Ontario:

a) calls upon the Ontario Liberal Party to immediately pay the Ministry of Education $3.7 million to reimburse Ontario's students and teachers for these funds that were taken out of the classroom;

b) calls for the strengthening of Section 70 of the Ontario Labour Relations Act to specifically prohibit any future payments to public sector unions to compensate for collective bargaining costs; and

c) calls upon the Government of Ontario to immediately introduce legislation to cap third-party election advertising.
