ORDERS OF THE DAY |
ORDRE DU JOUR | ||||||
Opposition Day |
Jour de l’opposition | ||||||
Ms. Horwath moved, |
Mme Horwath propose, | ||||||
Whereas the Ford government cancelled the two guaranteed paid sick days available to workers shortly after being elected; and Whereas almost 60% of workers do not have access to paid sick days, particularly those who work in many of the frontline essential services relied upon in the COVID-19 pandemic; and Whereas many of these workers do not qualify for federal emergency sick leave programs and are forced to choose between taking unpaid time off or going into work while sick in order to pay the bills and put food on the table, and the Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit pays less than minimum wage to those who do qualify; and Whereas workplace spread of COVID-19 has accounted for two-thirds of community outbreaks in some municipalities, largely in environments without access to paid sick leave; and Whereas the Ford government’s own experts have publicly advocated for the implementation of paid sick days to better protect Ontarians, especially racialized workers and communities that are disproportionately and hardest hit by the pandemic; and Whereas the Ford government continues to ignore the advice of its own Science Table, public health experts, municipal leaders and business and labour advocacy organizations that have identified paid sick days as an effective and necessary measure in the fight against community spread of COVID-19 and the emerging variants; Therefore, the Legislative Assembly calls on the Ford government to immediately implement a provincially mandated paid sick leave program in accordance with the advice of Ontario’s boards of health and medical officers of health, Ontario’s Big City Mayors (OBCM), municipal councils, organized labour and business advocacy groups. | |||||||
