Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mr. Runciman moved,

M. Runciman propose,

Whereas, one of the goals of the Ontario Smoke Free Strategy is "to prevent smoking among Ontario's children, youth and young adults"; and

Whereas, according to the Ministry of Health Promotion's website, each year 90,000 kids in Ontario try smoking; and

Whereas, an illegal smoke shop is operating on provincial land on Argyle Street in downtown Caledonia; and

Whereas, the said smoke shop is located within metres of Notre Dame elementary school and within a kilometre of a local high school; and

Whereas, residents in Caledonia report seeing children riding bicycles with cartons of cigarettes on their handlebars; and

Whereas, illegal smoke shops are selling untested cigarettes without warnings to children, and without asking for identification; and

Whereas, the McGuinty Liberal government refuses to shut down illegal smoke shops in Ontario, particularly the one on Argyle Street in Caledonia; and

The Legislative Assembly of Ontario calls upon the McGuinty government to move immediately to shut down all illegal smoke shops in Ontario and prosecute vendors of illegal cigarettes to the fullest extent of the law.
