PRIÈRES

Mr Bisson moved,

M. Bisson propose,

That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should maintain a fair and equitable rent control program, similar to the present rent control system introduced by the previous New Democratic Party government which protected tenants from abusive landlords, rather than creating a market based system that allows abusive landlords to gouge tenants, and leave tenants vulnerable to unfair rent increases.

A debate arising, at 11:00 a.m., further proceedings were reserved until 12:00 noon.

À 11 heures, la suite du débat est réservé jusqu'à midi.
