ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Debate was resumed on the motion that this House approves in general the Budgetary Policy of the Government.

Le débat reprend sur la motion portant que la présente Assemblée adopte en général la politique budgétaire du gouvernement.

After some time,

Après quelque temps,

Mr. Miller (Parry Sound–Muskoka) moved, That the motion moved by the Minister of Finance on March 29, 2011 “That this House approves in general the Budgetary Policy of the Government” be amended by deleting the words following “That this House” and adding thereto the following:

“Cannot support a Budget that will increase reckless spending and waste and will result in tax increases or new taxes, to pay for it.

Further, the Budget fails:

  • to provide relief for Ontario families,
  • to give small businesses a break by appointing a member of cabinet responsible for meeting measurable, hard targets on red tape reduction, and;
  • to end corporate welfare schemes that pick winners and losers in the marketplace, and;
  • to fix the broken arbitration system and ensures that public sector agreements reflect the ability of families to pay the bills, and;
  • to scrap the wasteful LHIN bureaucracy and the bloated Ontario Power Authority and invests those tax dollars into frontline services, and;
  • to halt the doubling of Ontario's debt.”

The debate continued and, after some time,

Le débat se poursuit et après quelque temps,

The Acting Speaker directed that the Members be called in, for which purpose the division bells were rung.
