ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mr. Kormos moved,

M. Kormos propose,

Whereas there have been serious questions raised about impropriety and potential conflict of interest in the process to select the builder and operator of the Niagara Falls permanent casino, and that these questions remain the subject of widespread concern in Ontario; and

Whereas there have been revelations that the winning consortium includes a number of people who have strong ties to the provincial Conservative party, having worked as lobbyists around the establishment of privately-owned and operated casinos, campaigners, fund-raisers and party officials; and

Whereas it has been revealed that Michael French was hired by a Toronto business group that was a partner in the winning bid for the Niagara casino, while at the same time he was retained by the Ontario government to run competitions to select private operators for the Niagara Falls casino and the 44 permanent charity casinos;

Be it therefore resolved that this House believes an independent inquiry under the Public Inquiries Act into the selection process for the construction and operation of the Niagara Falls casino/gateway project, including all government discussions and decisions leading up to the selection of Falls Management as the winning bid, will be essential for bringing out the full truth surrounding this case of apparent impropriety on the part of the Government of this province.

A debate arising, after some time, the motion was lost on the following division:-
