ORDERS OF THE DAY			ORDRE DU JOUR
Opposition Day			Jour de l'opposition
Mr. Runciman moved,			M. Runciman propose,
That the Legislative Assembly calls upon the government, To recognize that the McGuinty Liberals have cut the Ministry of Tourism budget in both of their last two budgets by a total of $46 million and cut this year's budget by $25 million alone; and To recognize that a strong Canadian dollar, increased border security, high gas prices and numerous anti-American statements made by prominent Liberals are just some of the many things that are currently hindering the tourism and hospitality industries in Ontario and despite all of these challenges, the McGuinty government has continually undertaken initiatives that further damage these sectors, such as the City of Toronto Act and greater regulation of Ontario's farmer markets; and To recognize that besides criticizing the federal government, the McGuinty government has not taken any sort of meaningful action or demonstrated any kind of leadership in helping to solve current border issues with the United States or challenges facing the hospitality sector; and To recognize that in 2005, U.S. border crossings to Ontario reached their lowest level since 1972 and that this decline in U.S. visitation is significant because, in 2004, Americans accounted for 18% of Ontario's total visitors and 26% of the province's visitors' spending; and
To recognize that the total number of person visits to Ontario has steadily declined under the McGuinty government and that, under their watch, these numbers have declined to levels not seen since the early and mid 1990's; and To recognize that in January 2006, U.S. entries to Ontario fell to their lowest level for the month in 12 years and that in January 2006, Ontario received 40% fewer entries from the U.S. compared to January 2001, the historical peak for the month and 27% fewer compared to January 2003, yet the McGuinty government has continued to cut the Ministry of Tourism budget and proceed with legislative and policy initiatives that further jeopardize the economic well being of the hospitality sector.
