After some time, |
Après quelque temps, |
Mr. Martin moved:-
That the amendment moved by Mr. McGuinty to the motion moved by the Minister of Finance on May 9, "That this House approves in general the budgetary policy of the government" be amended by deleting the words after "Recognizes that this budget fails our families and our future by" and substituting the following:-
"Taking inspiration from the provincial Liberal party's policy of creating "more choice" in the school system and by using the code word "choice" as an excuse to implement a "voucher" system for private schools - jeopardizing the future of public education in Ontario;
Recognizing that this budget is driven by the Conservative government's strategic commitment to sell off Ontario through a systematic agenda of privatization, beginning with the privatization of electric power generation - with the support of the provincial Liberals;
Recognizing that the deregulation of Ontario's hydro system is a dirty deal that will create chaos in our electricity system and raise electricity prices;
Recognizing that selling out our public schools system for private vouchers and selling off hydro and the province's bank is part of a long-running and dangerous competition by the Conservative government to out-do the Ottawa Liberals' tax cuts for the wealthy;
Putting the interests of corporations ahead of the interests of working families;
Therefore, this House has lost confidence in this government."
