Jour de l'opposition M. Bradley propose, |
|
|
Whereas Mike Harris promised Ontarians that he would not expand casino gambling, stating: "No new taxes. No new fees. No hidden taxes. My friends, I am committed to these. No photo radar, no casinos"; and Whereas Mike Harris also said in regard to casino gambling, "I don't want a million dollars a day into the province of Ontario. I don't want the money. I don't want the Ontario government to have it"; and Whereas Mike Harris said that gambling doesn't come cheap and that "It brings crime, it brings prostitution, it brings a lot of the things that maybe areas didn't have before. There is a big cost to pay"; and |
||
|
Whereas Mike Harris said that "Every officer and every policing dollar that goes towards casino crime or that kind of criminal activity is a dollar that's taken away from fighting crime that currently exists on our streets"; and Whereas Mike Harris criticized the former NDP government for not conducting social and economic impact studies before it introduced casino gambling; and Whereas now the Mike Harris government is expanding gambling without regard to the impact and without regard to its commitments to Ontarians; Therefore, this House calls upon the Mike Harris government to explain why it has not kept its campaign promises with respect to the expansion of gambling in Ontario; to listen to the communities across the province who have overwhelmingly rejected the Harris plan to establish 44 neighbourhood casinos; and to stop its attempts to force charities, municipalities and citizens into accepting these gambling halls. |
