  • “It's Available for Them to Voluntarily Put Them On.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report October 2, 2020 Quotation of the day “It's available for them to voluntarily put them on.” Energy Minister Greg Rickford concedes gas stations will no longer be forced to display ​ ​ anti-carbon-tax stickers after the courts deemed them unconstitutional. Rickford confirmed the government will not appeal the decision or repeal the law, saying, "there's no need to." Today at Queen’s Park Written by Sabrina Nanji On the schedule The house is adjourned until Monday, October 5. Thursday's debates and proceedings Two backbench motions and a bill passed second reading during Thursday's private members’ business: ● PC MPP Sam Oosterhoff's motion asking the government to remove regulatory barriers ​ ​ to the expansion of hydrogen technologies in order to reduce GHG emissions; ● PC MPP Daisy Wai's motion calling on the government to recognize parents' roles as ​ ​ primary educators of their children; and ● PC MPP Jim McDonell's Bill 208, Scottish Heritage Day Act. McDonnell's bill is now off ​ ​ ​ ​ to be studied by the Standing Committee on Regulations and Private Bills. Government house leader Paul Calandra moved a motion allowing the standing committees to ​ ​ meet beyond their regular schedule whenever the chair calls for it. It passed on a divided voice vote.

    Queen’s Park notes FOLLOW US @Mobilepk For the week of December 8–12, 2014 SEVEN GOVERNMENT BILLS BECOME LAW IN FALL SITTING OF LEGISLATURE The 2014 fall legislative sitting ended this week with an additional 7 government bills becoming law since the Legislature resumed after the June provincial election. The bills included: • Bill 7, Better Business Climate Act • Bill 8, Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act • Bill 10, Child Care Modernization Act • Bill 15, Fighting Fraud and Reducing Automobile Insurance Rates Act • Bill 18, Stronger Workplaces for a Stronger Economy Act • Bill 21, Safeguarding Health Care Integrity Act • Bill 35, Security for Courts, Electricity Generating Facilities and Nuclear Facilities Act AUDITOR-GENERAL’S REPORT HIGHLIGHTS GOVERNMENT WASTE AND MISMANAGEMENT In keeping with the tradition of Auditor-Generals throughout Canada, Ontario’s Auditor-General, Bonnie Lysyk, found numerous examples of government mismanagement and waste. In that regard, this year’s report is no different in detailing the mistakes of the government. But, what might be different this year is that Lysyk has questioned some of the principles underlining the Liberals’ approach to governing. The most obvious example is her detailed review of the Liberals’ private- public partnerships (P3s) for building large infrastructure projects. By Lysyk’s calculations, P3s have added $8 Billion to the costs of 74 different projects undertaken. In response to a question by NDP MPP Percy Hatfield (Windsor-Tecumseh), Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure Minister Brad Duguid (Scarborough Centre) said, “What I can say, though, is that it’s incorrect to suggest, as the member is suggesting, that $8 billion has somehow been lost in these projects.
