DEFERRED VOTES
VOTES
DIFFÉRÉS
The deferred vote on the
amendment to the motion, moved by Mr. Tory, on March 27, 2006, as
follows:-
That the motion moved by the
Minister of Finance on March 23, 2006 "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:-
"Recognizes that the budgetary
policy put forward by the Minister of Finance continues the
McGuinty government's legacy of broken promises and demands more
and more from taxpayers while delivering less and less; and that
this House condemns the government for:-
Not living up to its promise to
balance the budget, and actually making strong efforts to avoid
doing so;
Using questionable accounting
tricks to inflate an artificial deficit that suits their own
political agenda;
Failing to support Ontario
farmers and their plight while simultaneously cutting the
Ministry of Agriculture more than $240 million;
Suffocating the Ontario economy
and competitiveness with out of control taxation, spending, and
ill-advised electricity policy and allowing Ontario to fall
further and further behind the rest of the country in economic
success and growth;
Losing more than 80,000
well-paying manufacturing jobs under their watch and failing to
have an overall plan that will aid the many communities now
affected by mass layoffs and plant closures;
Allowing and implementing more
than $2,000.00 in government fees and charges to accumulate on
Ontarians' pocket books under their watch and as a result of
their policies.
Therefore the government has
lost the confidence of this House"
