  • “They Demanded — Under Duress — That We Stop Supporting Belinda ​[​Karahalios​]. We Are Appalled at This Bullying An
    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.

  • FOCA Supports the Xplornet Fibre Proposal for Central And
    Via email to [email protected] August 18, 2020 Hon. Laurie Scott Minister of Infrastructure 5th Floor, 777 Bay Street Toronto, Ontario M7A 2J3 Dear Minister Scott, On behalf of Ontario’s rural and northern waterfront property owners (WPO) we are writing in support of Xplornet’s proposal to the Improving Connectivity for Ontario (ICON) program regarding the company’s substantial broadband infrastructure project for central and northeastern Ontario. In 2018, FOCA undertook a research initiative, Waterfront Property Owners and Rural Economic Development ( https://foca.on.ca/waterfront-property-owners-and-rural-economic- development/ ); the study speaks to the opportunity of having WPO contribute to and support the local economy. It also confirmed the grim reality that access to reliable high-speed Internet is the number one barrier to a greater economic role of these families, many of whom are multi- generational residents who have significant interest and capacity to contribute to the economy in rural and northern communities. The study also helped to articulate the significance of waterfront property owners (WPO) as vital economic contributors to our rural communities. Xplornet’s project will build 2,650 km of new fibre across the province, adding 66 new wireless tower sites and 192 new wireless micro sites, most of which will be directly connected to the fibre network. Once completed, this project will enable over 170,000 residents across Ontario to enjoy affordable and accessible wireless services of 100 Megabits per second with unlimited data. The past months have demonstrated the importance of connectivity, especially for rural Canadians. The post-pandemic recovery offers the long overdue opportunity to provide the necessary tools for rural Canada’s success in the digital economy.
