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 les grands principes de la politique budgétaire du gouvernement. |
|
After some time, |
Après quelque temps, |
Mrs McLeod moved that the motion moved by the Minister of Finance on May 7 "that this House approves in general the Budgetary Policy of the Government" be amended by deleting the words following the words "that this House" and adding thereto the following:
"Recognizing that the budgetary policy put forward by the Minister of Finance comprises little more than a shell game, in which all but the wealthiest Ontarians will see their tax cut eaten up by new user fees and local taxes; and
That while the Conservative government is giving taxpayers a 15% tax cut, it is taking the tax cut away from the lower and middle income earners piece by piece in new and higher user fees, higher tuition fees and licence fees; and
That according to the government's own figures, the unemployment rate will actually increase over the next two years; and
That despite the Conservatives' claim that the tax cut will create 725,000 jobs, the budget predicts that there will be 6,000 more people unemployed in 1998 than the day the Conservative government took office; and
That the massive cuts to government services, including education, justice, health, and transportation required to pay for the tax cut are unacceptable and will transform Ontario into a province of winners and losers;
Therefore this House has lost confidence in this government."
