ORDERS OF THE
DAY
ORDRE DU JOUR
Opposition Day
Jour de l'opposition
Mr. Tory moved,
M. Tory propose,
That the Legislative Assembly
calls upon the government,
To recognize that the McGuinty
government was made aware of the Six Nations' land claim issues
at Caledonia in August 2005, yet allowed the situation to
escalate to a full-blown standoff starting on February 28,
2006;
To recognize that the McGuinty
government refused even to acknowledge the Caledonia land
occupation as a provincial issue until Day 42 of the
standoff;
To recognize that the McGuinty
government's Places to Grow Act was a catalyst in igniting
the standoff, since it provides a legal framework for the
McGuinty Liberals to designate any area of land as a growth plan
area;
To recognize that the McGuinty
government further provoked the situation with a regulation
identifying the Greater Golden Horseshoe area as the first area
for which a growth plan will be prepared;
To recognize that the Premier's
procrastination and failure to show leadership when it was most
needed, allowed this situation to escalate into a public safety
crisis;
To recognize that the McGuinty
Liberals have refused to compensate the OPP for the unforeseen
costs incurred while policing Caledonia and to reimburse
municipalities policed by the OPP that sent officers to
Caledonia;
To recommend to the Lieutenant
Governor in Council that a Commission be appointed to inquire
into and report on how absence of communication and lack of
leadership by Premier McGuinty and his Liberal government allowed
the Caledonia situation to escalate to a full-blown standoff and
subsequently a public security crisis;
To accept recommendations from
the Commission directed to preventing similar chaotic
confrontations when dealing with future land claim issues in the
province, including recommendations with respect to ways in which
we can improve dispute resolution in this area and enhance
respect for the rule of law; and
To grant the Commission powers
under the Public Inquiries Act.
A debate arising, after some
time, the motion was declared carried.
Un débat s'ensuit et
après quelque temps, la motion est déclarée
adoptée.
The House then adjourned at 5:45
