ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Ms. Horwath moved,

Mme Horwath propose,

Whereas Ontarians are concerned that energy policy in Ontario is set according to what benefits the Liberal Party of Ontario, rather than achieving affordable, green and reliable energy for families or businesses; and

Whereas there are deeply concerning questions about the conduct of the Liberal government in respect of energy contracts; and

Whereas the government cancelled wind power contracts in Liberal held ridings and is now being investigated by the OPP for allegedly destroying records around these decisions; and

Whereas the government decided to sell Hydro One in spite of evidence from the Financial Accountability Officer that this sale will not build infrastructure and will increase the deficit; and

Whereas questions remain around the government's use of the Hydro One IPO for fundraising purposes with the revelation of Ministerial quotas for party fundraising; and

Whereas the government's decision to cancel the Mississauga and Oakville Gas Plants in Liberal held seats at a cost of $1.1 billion along with the government's decision to delete records regarding the "gas plant scandal;" and

Whereas the Liberal government faces 5 OPP Anti-Rackets Squad investigations; and

Whereas the Liberal Government of Quebec established a Commission of Inquiry on the Awarding and Management of Public Contracts in the Construction Industry, the "Charbonneau Commission" to examine the inappropriate awarding of government construction contracts.

Therefore, in the opinion of this House, Ontario should establish a Public Inquiry on the Awarding and Management of Public Contracts in the Energy Industry.

Il s’élève un débat et après quelque temps,
