ORDERS OF THE DAY |
ORDRE DU JOUR |
Mr. Phillips moved, |
M. Phillips propose, |
That the Legislative Assembly of Ontario acknowledge that about two-thirds of Ontarians do not have a workplace pension and that providing a secure future for retirement is important. It therefore endorses a modest and gradual expansion of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), as the majority of provinces and the federal government agreed to at the last Federal-Provincial-Territorial Finance Ministers meeting in the summer of 2010, and that the province continue to work with the federal government and other provinces to move forward on the expansion of the CPP. | |
A debate arose and after some time, Mr. Miller (Parry Sound–Muskoka) moved, |
Il s'élève un débat et après quelque temps, M. Miller (Parry Sound–Muskoka) propose, |
That the motion be amended by adding the words:- | |
“so long as there is recognition of the fragile nature of the economy and that increasing payroll taxes at a time of economic instability is not advisable” at the end. | |
Debate was resumed and after some time, the House recessed at 10:15 a.m. |
