The Amendment to the motion as
follows:-
That the motion moved by the
Minister of Finance on May 11, 2005: "That the House approves in
general the budgetary policy of this government" be amended by
deleting the words after "That this House" and adding thereto the
following:
"Recognize that this budget is
the latest in a series of ever-changing fiscal plans and
that:
The government has provided
inadequate support to Ontario's hospitals, putting timely access
to care in jeopardy;
The government is failing
Ontario's farmers by cutting funding by 23.1% this year, on top
of the 20% budget cut last year;
That the government has laid out
no specific plan for meeting Ontario's infrastructure needs, and
has not explicitly budgeted for those needs;
That taxpayers will pay double
the amount in health taxes this year, despite a promise by the
Premier not to raise taxes at all;
That the government has done
little to nothing specific to meaningfully attack waste and
mismanagement in the government on a budget of $80 billion;
and
That these failures, these
broken promises, these high taxes, high deficits, wasteful
spending and burdensome regulations will harm Ontario's economy
and create a climate which will discourage investment and jobs in
Ontario.
Therefore, this House has lost
confidence in this government."
