I Should Be the Minister of Women's Issues Because Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report March 10, 2020 Quotation of the day “I should be the minister of women’s issues because with five women, I know every woman’s issue you could possibly think of.” Premier Doug Ford jokes about his family life during a fireless fireside chat at Communitech the ​ ​ ​ ​ day after International Women’s Day. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The house convenes at 9 a.m. The government could call either of the following bills for second-reading debate: ● Bill 159, Rebuilding Consumer Confidence Act; or ​ ● Bill 175, Connecting People to Home and Community Care Act. ​ Monday’s debates and proceedings In the afternoon, the house debated NDP Leader Andrea Horwath’s first Opposition Day ​ ​ motion of the year, calling on the government to reverse the planned cancellation of the double-fare transit discount, which shaves off $1.50 for commuters transferring between GO transit or the UP Express to the TTC. It failed (Ayes 35; Nays 62). Second-reading debate of Bill 175, the government’s legislation overhauling the home and ​ ​ community care system, continued for the remainder of the afternoon sitting. This was the fourth day of debate on this stage of the bill. In the park The Catholic Health Association of Ontario is slated to lobby MPPs at a breakfast reception; the Public Affairs Association of Canada and Shaw Communications have evening receptions planned. Newly elected Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca spent part of his first Monday on the job at the ​ ​ legislature, where he watched question period from the visitor’s gallery and took the lead for the Liberals in post-question period scrums. ​ ​ MPP-elect for Orléans Stephen Blais was also at the Pink Palace to check out his new digs. ​ ​ Blais told Queen’s Park Today the election of him and Lucille Collard, who won the tandem ​ ​ ​ ​ byelection in Ottawa—Vanier, will be announced in the Ontario Gazette this week; they will be ​ ​ sworn in after the March Break constituency week, on Monday, March 23. Billboards, e-learning and federal cash transfers: Ford sits down for fireside chat in Kitchener At a “fireside” chat at Communitech in Kitchener Monday morning, Premier Doug Ford held ​ ​ forth on e-learning, billboard sales along the 400-series highways and economic immigration. The premier pumped up the PC’s move to allow students to opt-out of e-learning using an anecdote about a parent who told him online courses would help free up his son’s afternoons so that he could get a part-time job. Ford said he believed the flak flying from teachers’ unions underestimates high school students’ online learning skills. “I’ve seen my four girls, they can run circles around me on online learning,” he added. Ford also teased the March 25 budget, revealing the OPP delivered his confidential copy to his house over the weekend. As is customary, Ford is keeping details close to the vest, only saying it will be a “fiscally prudent” plan to get the books back in the black by 2023-24. But he did offer one hint, about the possibility of selling billboard space along provincial highways to generate new revenue streams, a la the major U.S. Interstate-75 highway. ​ ​ “You go down I-75, you see these signs everywhere; you go down the 401, the 400-series highways, you see very little signs. That would create a couple hundred million more for the province that we can allocate to education and transportation,” Ford said. “It’s kind of a no-brainer. We have to think like the private sector does,” he added. Green Leader Mike Schreiner scoffed at the possibility, saying Ford’s upcoming budget should ​ ​ focus on “real” issues such as climate change, affordable housing and public health — not “roadside distractions copied from down south to make a quick buck.” “As if the Premier hasn’t made enough gaffes with stickers and license plates, he’s now getting into the billboard business,” Schreiner said in a statement. “The Premier should end the Extreme Makeover: Ontario Edition.” Ford is headed to Ottawa later this week for a first ministers’ meeting with Prime Minister Justin ​ Trudeau. Topping the docket for the premier is expanding Ontario’s economic immigration ​ nominee program, federal funding to cover 40 per cent of the $28.5-billion GTA transit expansion plan, greenlighting joint grants for outstanding infrastructure projects and increasing the health transfer by 5.2 per cent annually. While in the capital region, Ford will also make a guest appearance at an Economic Club of Canada luncheon speech by Treasury Board President Peter Bethlenfalvy on the ​ ​ government’s public service reforms. PCs eyeing COVID-19 contingency plans Ontario’s health and finance ministers say there are contingency plans in place to deal with a mass coronavirus outbreak in the province, but they were cagey over specifics. “We do have a plan in place, and we will escalate as and when we see the need to do so,” Health Minister Christine Elliott told reporters Monday. ​ ​ Thus far many of Ontario’s confirmed COVID-19 cases have been treated and diagnosed in emergency rooms, and Elliott said the plans would allow the government “to move things around within hospitals” so they can continue doing their work. If a hospital has to go into lockdown, the government is looking at testing in other locations. “We are going to have situations available where … other hospitals will be able to take over their primary responsibilities.” Elliott is also looking at advanced screening of those entering long-term care homes. “We know that these are very, very vulnerable, often very ill people, and we want to keep them safe,” Elliott said — moments before B.C. recorded the country’s first coronavirus-related death in a nursing home. Finance Minister Rod Phillips said the upcoming budget will allow the government “to make ​ ​ adjustments if they are necessary.” But he wouldn’t say what measures may be on the table to deal with a potential recession triggered by coronavirus concerns. “Clearly COVID-19 is having economic impacts in Ontario,” Phillips said following a temporary halt in market trading that morning. Phillips acknowledged the budget is based on economic forecasts that are now over a month old and “we’re in a very dynamic environment” but he said it’s too early to assess the full brunt of COVID-19. A one-per-cent drop in Ontario’s GDP equals a $700 million hit to the provincial purse, but the government typically counts a $1-billion reserve fund toward the bottom line. Coronavirus hits #onpoli Also on Monday, health officials announced three new COVID-19 cases, bringing the provincial tally to 34. The government is now updating its coronavirus update website twice daily. Reuters also reported millions of N95 face masks and other medical equipment stockpiled in Ontario after the SARS epidemic in 2002 and 2003 have expired. Toronto city Councillor Josh Matlow announced he is self-isolating after coming into contact ​ ​ with an individual last Thursday who was later diagnosed with COVID-19. Matlow was among ​ the 2,500 attendees at the Ontario Liberal Party convention last weekend. Ontario’s former attorney general John Gerretsen and his wife are among 230 Canadians who ​ ​ have been stranded on the Grand Princess cruise ship off the coast of California. At least 21 people onboard the vessel have tested positive for the virus; the federal government plans to airlift the Canadians to the Trenton air force base where they will be quarantined for 14 days. Gerretsen told the Globe and Mail he and his wife are “feeling healthy.” ​ ​ ​ ​ Finance Minister Phillips is considering backup plans for the budget lockup, which would see about 2,100 people holed up at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (instead of the usual spot in Macdonald Block due to ongoing renovations). Today’s events March 10 at 8:30 a.m. – Scarborough ​ Premier Doug Ford, Transportation Minister Caroline Mulroney, Associate Transportation ​ ​ ​ ​ Minister Kinga Surma and the Tory Scarborough caucus will make an announcement at an ​ ​ MTO maintenance garage. March 10 at 9:30 a.m. – Toronto ​ A group of law professors will be in the media studio to “sound the alarm” on the government’s planned changes to the Legal Services Act embedded in Bill 161, Smarter and Stronger Justice ​ ​ ​ ​ Act, which is currently at committee stage. ● When the bill was introduced last year, the union representing Legal Aid lawyers warned it would “radically alter Legal Aid Ontario’s mandate” by removing the phrases “access to justice” and “low-income individuals” from the law’s purpose statement. March 10 at 10 a.m. – Toronto ​ NDP MPP Faisal Hassan will be in the Queen’s Park media studio to tease his forthcoming ​ ​ private member’s bill to proclaim the last week of June Somali Heritage Week in Ontario. March 10 at 10 a.m. – Cambridge ​ Labour Minister Monte McNaughton will make an announcement about improving training ​ ​ programs for laid-off manufacturing workers. March 10 at 12:50 p.m. – Toronto ​ Finance Minister Rod Phillips will tease the March 25 budget in a luncheon speech to the ​ ​ Empire Club at the Sheraton Centre Hotel. Topics of conversation ● Elementary teachers and the province are set to return to the bargaining table Wednesday. If no deal is reached, the union said Monday it will resume rotating strikes starting March 23, after March Break. ○ “Let’s be clear; ETFO has been ready to resume negotiations since February,” union vice-president Karen Campbell said, adding that the mediator’s callback ​ ​ came “just before” the union’s scheduled press conference.

    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report August 20, 2020 Quotation of the day “They demanded — under duress — that we stop supporting Belinda [Karahalios]. We are appalled at this bullying and abuse ​ ​ ​ of power. It is a direct attack on our democracy!” The now-derecognized PC riding association in Cambridge sends out flyers attacking Premier Doug Ford and the PC Party over alleged "intimidation tactics." ​ Today at Queen’s Park Written by Sabrina Nanji On the schedule The house reconvenes on Monday, September 14. The roster for the Select Committee on Emergency Management Oversight — which will scrutinize ongoing extensions of emergency orders via Bill 195 — has been named. The ​ ​ majority-enjoying PC side will feature Bob Bailey, Christine Hogarth, Daryl Kramp, Robin ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Martin, Sam Oosterhoff, Lindsey Park and Effie Triantafilopoulos. The New Democrat ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ members are Gilles Bisson, Sara Singh and Tom Rakocevic; Liberal MPP John Fraser will ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ take up the Independent spot. The committee was struck as an accountability measure because the PCs empowered themselves to amend or extend the emergency orders for up to the next two years, without requiring a vote or debate in the legislature. Bill 195, the enabling law, also requires the premier ​ ​ or a designate of his choosing to appear at the special committee to justify any changes to the sweeping emergency orders. Premier watch An RFP for the next leg of the Eglinton Crosstown tunnelling project will be issued today. Premier Doug Ford announced the move in Mississauga Tuesday alongside cabinet’s ​ ​ transportation overseers Caroline Mulroney and Kinga Surma. ​ ​ ​ ​ Three construction consortiums have already been shortlisted and are now able to present their detailed costing plans to Infrastructure Ontario.

  • COVID-19 Transit Funding
    Thursday, September 17, 2020 Ministry of Transportation 5th Floor 777 Bay St. Toronto, ON M7A 1Z8 Dear Minister Mulroney, We, the undersigned, are writing to you today on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of young people, including 140,000+ post-secondary students, that we collectively represent. These students live, work, and commute within this city, and are an integral part of the communities in which they are a part of. On a typical school day, approximately 8 to 9% of TTC users are elementary or high school students.1 In 2016, 50% of youth ages 13-25 across Toronto relied on the TTC.2 Students commuting to schools and campuses across the city overwhelmingly use the TTC, as they often have limited access to a car, and Toronto’s cycling infrastructure is insufficient and incomplete. As school resumes across the city this month, the need for adequate physical distancing on the TTC is critical to keeping students and countless others safe, while in the midst of a global pandemic. Prior to COVID-19, students across the city faced significant overcrowding on the TTC. Students have numerous accounts of being pushed off crowded buses, waiting for up to ten minutes or more for a subway train, and being stuffed into a crowded streetcar. While students have tolerated these conditions in the past, overcrowding was not adequately addressed before the pandemic, and as we start a new ​ school year, these conditions will continue to persist as a result. This will likely cause a spike in COVID-19 cases, putting students, their families, and members of vulnerable communities at a higher risk of contracting the virus.

  • “Get Some BBQ & a Time.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report July 23, 2019 Quotation of the day “Get some BBQ & A time.” The tagline for an upcoming summer PC Party fundraiser featuring Michael Tibollo. ​ ​ ​ ​ Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The summer recess is on until Monday, October 28. Dean French drops defamation suit against Randy Hillier Dean French has abandoned his defamation lawsuit against Independent MPP Randy Hillier. ​ ​ ​ French — who resigned as Premier Doug Ford’s chief of staff amid a patronage scandal last ​ ​ month — was seeking $100,000 in damages over Hillier’s tweets alleging French was involved in electoral fraud in Ontario and Alberta political leadership races. Hillier said in a statement Monday he’s “happy to turn the page” on the matter, which he called a “distraction.” “While Mr. French and I do not see eye-to-eye on many things, I am glad we have found something we can agree on,” said Hillier, who was expelled from the PC government benches in March. French’s lawyer Gavin Tighe said his client is “grateful” Hillier took down the tweets in question. ​ ​ Tighe said there was little point in carrying on with expensive and time-consuming litigation as French is no longer involved with the government. He noted French had planned to donate any award to charity. Tighe has long represented the Ford family and Doug Ford since becoming premier; he was ​ ​ appointed to chair the Public Accountants Council with a $166K annual salary last year. The PC Party previously said it would not foot the bill for French’s lawsuit.

  • “Problematic Structures and Dynamics.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report January 28, 2020 Quotation of the day “Problematic structures and dynamics.” The three-person team reviewing anti-Black racism at Peel District School Board says its ongoing probe will help pinpoint systemic problems at the board and establish a new direction, but community members are asking for more. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The house will reconvene on Tuesday, February 18, 2020. Committees this week The Standing Committee on Social Policy will hold a public hearing in Sudbury Wednesday to hear from witnesses on Bill 141, PC MPP Robin Martin’s private member’s bill aimed at ​ ​ ​ ​ boosting public access to defibrillators. The committee was granted permission to hold up to three days of public hearings on the bill over the winter break; a meeting scheduled in Ottawa on Thursday has been cancelled. Premier watch Premier Doug Ford met with Ontario’s chief medical officer of health, Dr. David Williams; ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Health Minister Christine Elliott; and Dr. Barbara Yaffe, director of communicable disease ​ ​ ​ ​ control at Toronto Public Health, for an update on the appearance of the coronavirus in Ontario. The province confirmed a second “presumptive confirmed case” of coronavirus early Monday morning — the wife of the first patient whose diagnosis has now been confirmed by a federal lab. The government says she had been in self-isolation since returning to Canada from China last week, meaning the risk to the public remains low. Nineteen other possible cases are under investigation; the majority of those patients are already in isolation according to health officials.

  • Student Alliance
    ONTARIO UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT ALLIANCE ADVOCACY CONFERENCE 2020 November 16-19th ABOUT OUSA The Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA) represents the interests of approximately 150,000 professional and undergraduate, full-time and part-time university students at eight student associations across Ontario. Our vision is for an accessible, affordable, accountable and high quality post-secondary education in Ontario. OUSA’s approach to advocacy is based on creating substantive, student driven, and evidence-based policy recommendations. INTRODUCTION Student leaders representing over 150,000 undergraduate students from across Ontario attended OUSA’s annual Student Advocacy Conference from November 16th to the 19th. Delegates met with over 50 MPPs from four political parties and sector stakeholders to discuss the future of post-secondary education in Ontario and advance OUSA’s advocacy priorities. Over five days, the student leaders discussed student financial aid, quality of education, racial equity, and student mental health.
