"Whereas working families in Ontario deserve a government that will provide them with accessible healthcare, the best public education system in the world, a clean environment and a strong economy."

"Whereas the Speech from the Throne proved that the Eves government will continue to support the failed policies from the Harris regime, such as two-tier healthcare, private school tax credits, corporate taxes lower than Alabama, compromised environmental protection and the privatization of Hydro One."
