ORDERS OF THE DAY |
ORDRE DU JOUR |
|
Want of Confidence Motion pursuant to Standing Order 43(a) |
Motion de censure conformément à l'article 43(a) du Règlement. |
|
Mr Wildman moved, |
M. Wildman propose, |
Whereas the government has reaffirmed its commitment to both balance the budget and implement a 30% reduction in personal income taxes; and
Whereas economic growth in Ontario is predicted to continue to be weak at 2.3%, much lower than the government's assumptions in the Common Sense Revolution; and
Whereas the current unemployment rate for the province stands at 8.9% and the employment outlook given the low growth rate is expected to continue to weaken over the next year; and
Whereas the cuts to government spending were cited by the witnesses at the Pre-Budget hearings of the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs as the major contributor to the poor economic performance and loss of jobs; and
Whereas by cutting personal income taxes to capture the tax savings published in the Common Sense Revolution, the government will lose $27.8 billion in revenue by the year 2000; and
Whereas in order to balance the budget as promised in the Common Sense Revolution the government will have to implement further spending cuts, which will affect children, senior citizens, and other vulnerable Ontarians; and
Whereas the cost of such a tax cut, which is to reduce the percentage of basic federal tax by 20 points, will add an extra $16.5 billion to the accumulated debt of the province; and
Whereas fully two-thirds of the value of the tax cut will go to the top 10% of income earners and will do nothing to increase consumer spending; and
Whereas witnesses at the Pre-Budget Committee hearings agreed that the Common Sense Revolution's promise of 725,000 new jobs is unrealistic and unattainable; and
Whereas the government has refused to listen to expert witnesses, the people of the province and has refused to pay attention to the reality of Ontario's economic situation;
Therefore, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 43(a), the House no longer has confidence in the government.
