ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day Number 3

Jour de l'opposition numéro 3

Mr. Wilson — That, given the grave financial situation in the province of Ontario today, it is the opinion of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario that the 2015 budget should include the following:

• An announcement that the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan will not be pursued as it places an enormous burden on businesses and will kill jobs in the province;

• A commitment that a carbon tax, or its close cousin, a cap and trade process, not be adopted as it is a cost that Ontario residents and businesses cannot afford;

• A plan to fix homecare by streamlining the system to reduce the number of agencies patients must deal with and by tying CCAC funding to outcomes and clearly defined results;

• A commitment to reduce energy prices so that all people and businesses no longer have to be paying some of the highest energy costs in North America; and

• A serious, credible and detailed plan to balance the budget by 2017-2018.

Addressed to the Premier.

DÉBATS SPÉCIAUX – JOUR DE L’OPPOSITION

3. Mr. Wilson – That, given the grave financial situation in the province of Ontario today, it is the opinion of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario that the 2015 budget should include the following:

● An announcement that the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan will not be pursued as it places an enormous burden on businesses and will kill jobs in the province;

● A commitment that a carbon tax, or its close cousin, a cap and trade process, not be adopted as it is a cost that Ontario residents and businesses cannot afford;

● A plan to fix homecare by streamlining the system to reduce the number of agencies patients must deal with and by tying CCAC funding to outcomes and clearly defined results;

● A commitment to reduce energy prices so that all people and businesses no longer have to be paying some of the highest energy costs in North America; and

● A serious, credible and detailed plan to balance the budget by 2017-2018.

Addressed to the Premier. To be debated today.
