PRIÈRES |
|
Mr. Christopherson moved, |
M. Christopherson propose, |
|
That, in the opinion of this House, the Harris government be urged to acknowledge the downloading of services and expenditures to Hamilton and Hamilton-Wentworth is not revenue neutral and has in fact created an unacceptable crisis in local property tax increases; and That, in the opinion of this House, the Harris government be urged to acknowledge that: . Mike Harris and the Conservative Party of Ontario promised the citizens of Ontario fair and equitable taxation in the Common Sense Revolution, and property tax is an unfair and regressive form of taxation. . Mike Harris promised - in bold letters - on page five of the Common Sense Revolution "We will work closely with municipalities to ensure that any actions we take will not result in increases to local property taxes". |
|
|
. Mike Harris also promised that the province's exchange of services and expenditures would be revenue neutral. . The Harris downloading has short-changed the citizens of Hamilton and Hamilton-Wentworth by $36.3 million per year forcing dramatic property tax hikes. . The Harris government's own figures confirm this $36.3 million shortfall. . The eight year phase in of the Harris government's Business Education Tax has discriminated against Hamilton and Hamilton-Wentworth by putting an additional $17 million dollar burden onto local taxpayers. . The Province reneged on its original commitment to a three year Small Business Rebate Program, and will now only fund the program for one year. |
|
|
. Many of our citizens may lose their homes, businesses and jobs as a result of the drastic property tax increases foisted on local taxpayers by the Mike Harris government. . Any future downturn in the economy could potentially bankrupt the municipalities who must now bear the brunt of increased social service costs and responsibilities. . City and regional councillors are being unfairly blamed and forced to explain these huge Harris tax hikes; and |
|
|
That, in the opinion of this House, the Harris government be urged to immediately pay back to Hamilton and Hamilton-Wentworth the $36.3 million they have shortchanged our community; and That, in the opinion of this House, the Harris government be urged to eliminate the $17 million dollar cost of their Business Education Tax by revoking the eight year phase in period and moving immediately to the provincial average, as well as reinstating their original three year commitment to the Small Business Rebate Program. |
|
|
A debate arising, at 11:00 a.m., further proceedings were reserved until 12:00 noon. |
À 11 h, la suite du débat est réservée jusqu'à midi |
|
Mr. Hudak then moved, |
Ensuite, M. Hudak propose, |
That, in the opinion of this House, Whereas the Ontario government has shown the leadership to address access to health care in underserviced communities through the Rural and Northern Health Care Framework, the $70/hour sessional fees for emergency room physicians, and enhanced incentives for recruitment and retention of health professionals and,
Whereas the government's Bill 127 has legally recognized the important role and enabled greater participation of highly skilled nurse practitioners as part of a multi-disciplinary health care team,
The government should act to further improve and expand the Underserviced Area Program including the integration of nurse practitioners into primary care practices to make underserviced areas more attractive to physicians and other health care professionals.
