||||
|
"However, the current Speech from the Throne fails to adequately address the state of our economy which is the single most important issue facing Ontario today; and Whereas, since the beginning of 2005, Ontario has lost more than 153,000 manufacturing jobs; and Whereas, the Throne Speech fails to recognize that economic growth predictions for the province have shrunk by a full percentage point from predictions used by the government less than a year ago; and Whereas, the Throne Speech fails to indicate any sense of urgency for dealing with the economic challenges facing Ontario; and Whereas, the Throne Speech fails to provide a plan for dealing with this new economic reality by maintaining a program of unreasonable taxation and undisciplined spending; and Whereas, the Throne Speech fails to set out a plan to reduce taxes and reduce regulations that are killing business in Ontario and placing such hardships on Ontario's families; We, therefore, regret to inform His Honour that the current Liberal government is ignoring the very real economic problems facing Ontario and has failed to ensure our economic fundamentals are sound and, in so failing, is failing to live up to the responsibilities placed on it by the people of Ontario." |
