    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report December 3, 2018 Quotation of the day “Unconstitutional disguised taxation.” The PC government plans to argue in court Ottawa does not have the right to regulate greenhouse gas emissions by imposing a carbon tax. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The House sits Monday at 10:30 a.m. There are two more weeks left in the fall session. Government House Leader Todd Smith has motions on the order paper that could extend this ​ ​ week’s sittings as late as midnight. Smith also filed a motion late last week to amend the standing orders’ definition of a recognized party to require that a caucus have at least 10 per cent of the seats in the House. The mini-budget bill enshrines a seat threshold of 12 rather than the current eight — but changing the standing orders before the bill becomes law might make the seven-seat Liberal caucus seem less appealing to any would-be recruits. The government could call any of the following pieces of business: ● Bill 32, Access to Natural Gas Act; ​ ● Bill 34, Green Energy Repeal Act; and ​ ● Bill 48, Safe and Supportive Classrooms Act. ​ In the park Fanshawe College is holding an MPP reception during the day. Committees this week Kathleen Wynne and Glenn Thibeault will get grilled by PC and NDP MPPs on the select ​ ​ ​ committee looking into the former Liberal government’s finances. The former premier and energy minister take the hot seat Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Bill 57, Trust, Transparency and Accountability Act, the PC’s mini-budget bill, goes under the ​ microscope Monday morning.
