ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Ms. Fife moved,

Mme Fife propose,

Whereas the 2014 Liberal budget:

Cuts 6% out of nearly every ministry;

Cuts healthcare and fires nurses;

Cuts education and closes schools;

Cuts transportation and closes bus stations across the North;

Cuts affordable housing and slashes $86 million out of Toronto's social housing programs;

Privatizes public hydro companies and sells off our public assets;

Opens new corporate tax loopholes that don't create jobs, but helps wealthy companies buy luxury sports tickets;

Fails to address tax fairness or consider any modest changes to corporate tax rates;

Makes life more expensive for families by letting hydro bills and gas prices rise;

Will mean firing 100,000 people according to the Liberal's own hand-picked economist Don Drummond; and

News agencies have said the Liberal Budget will mean the "Deepest cuts since Harris."

Therefore, it is the opinion of this House that the 2015 Budget should stop cutting services, privatizing and selling off assets, putting wealthy corporations ahead of people, and instead of continuing the Liberal austerity program, explore rolling back corporate giveaways while maintaining a competitive combined corporate tax rate, create jobs, invest in services and make life more affordable for the 13 million Ontarians who make our province work.

Debate arose and after some time,

Il s’élève un débat et après quelque temps,

The question was then put.

La question a ensuite été mise aux voix.
