April 4, 2019 Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report April 4, 2019 Quotation of the day “Ontario, clap or else.” NDP MPP Taras Natyshak continues his streak of cheeky nicknames for vehicle-related news ​ ​ with a suggestion for the licence plate rebrand. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The House convenes at 9 a.m. Bill 87, Fixing the Hydro Mess Act, is the only government bill on the order paper that could be ​ called for morning and afternoon debate. Two backbench bills and a motion are slated for the afternoon’s private members’ business debates: ● NDP MPP Rima Berns-McGown will put forward Bill 83, Day of Remembrance and ​ ​ ​ ​ Action on Islamophobia Act, for second reading; ● PC MPP Roman Baber will move second reading of Bill 84, Prohibiting Hate-Promoting ​ ​ ​ ​ Demonstrations at Queen’s Park Act; ● NDP MPP Laura Mae Lindo will put forward her motion calling on the government to ​ ​ commit to funding and a timeline for two-way, all-day GO train service along the Kitchener corridor. Wednesday’s debates and proceedings Bill 48, Safe and Supportive Classrooms Act, passed third reading on a voice vote after the ​ vote to close the debate (Ayes 62; Nays 39). Green Leader Mike Schreiner has signed on to cosponsor Liberal MPP Nathalie Des ​ ​ ​ Rosiers’s private member’s bill (PMB) to establish a selection committee to pick future OPP ​ captains. The legislation — Bill 95, Independent OPP Commissioner Appointment Act — was ​ ​ tabled in the afternoon. Liberal MPP Marie-France Lalonde introduced PMB Bill 96, Democratic Participation Act. It’s ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ an ambitious proposal aimed at boosting democratic participation by lowering the voting age to 16 and establishing a ranked ballot pilot project for future byelections and the next general election. The bill would also require the chief electoral officer to study making E-Day a statutory holiday (he previously recommended scheduling the vote on a weekend or school holiday), ​ ​ limiting election-related polling and the feasibility of mandatory ballot casting. Liberal MPPs John Fraser and Michael Gravelle were granted unanimous consent (on the ​ ​ ​ ​ second go around) to swap places on the social policy committee and estimates committee, respectively. In the park The Pink Palace officially turns 126 years old today. 30 candidates under 30, app-based fundraising: Steven Del Duca launches Liberal leadership bid Former Liberal MPP and cabinet minister Steven Del Duca is officially vying to lead the Ontario ​ ​ ​ ​ Liberals into the 2022 election. “I realized that Ontario could be so much better than what Premier Doug Ford and his friends ​ ​ are producing. I don’t believe we are making progress anymore as a province,” Del Duca said in an interview with Queen’s Park Today Wednesday. ​ ​ Del Duca, who has a strong reputation among Liberal partisans for his fundraising and organizing skills, is pledging to run a slate that’s at least 50 per cent women and includes at least 30 candidates under the age of 30. He’s also proposing app-based fundraising as the party grapples with an over $9 million debt load and stricter campaign finance rules (somewhat less strict since the PCs tweaked the rules as of this year). “The Victory Tap” would allow would-be donors to tap their credit card on a smartphone to make an up to $100 donation, Del Duca said. No date for the leadership convention has been set. First, the Liberals will decide whether to pick their next leader via an old school delegated convention or switch to a one-member-one-vote system. They’ll make a decision at their annual general meeting, which is scheduled from June 7 to 9 in Mississauga, and will overlap with the one-year anniversary of the party’s devastating election defeat to Ford. Del Duca declined to comment on his preferred system, saying he felt it was a conflict of interest as a leadership contender. “I do have some ideas about what the format should look like, but as somebody who’s announcing today that I intend to run for the leadership I believe it’s not appropriate … I don’t intend to broadcast my opinion on this personally,” he said. He added he looks forward to the debate and will still run under any system. Thus far, Del Duca would square off against Liberal MPP Michael Coteau, who entered the fray ​ ​ earlier this year. Sitting Grits Mitzie Hunter, Nathalie Des Rosiers and Marie-France Lalonde ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ are seriously considering their own leadership bids. Des Rosiers has told QPT she believes one member, one vote is fundamentally more ​ ​ democratic, but she wants to hear all sides of the debate before taking an official stance and will respect the outcome of the decision. Hunter proposed OMOV earlier this year. Del Duca said he will run in Vaughan—Woodbridge in 2022, and the former transportation minister may have to shrug off political baggage about his perceived interference into the locations of the Kirby and Lawrence GO stations following a damning report from the auditor ​ general in December. ​ Del Duca stood by his actions, reiterating he believes politicians are elected to make decisions ​ ​ and that he has “no regrets whatsoever about building transit on every corner in the region.” High school students, unions ramp up opposition to education cuts School’s out, briefly, across the province today as students plan a walk-out over the Ford government’s education cuts. Hundreds of high school students are expected to leave the classroom shortly after 1 p.m. in protest of the changes to the education file, including increased class sizes, among other things, as part of the Students Say No movement. School boards said they don’t sanction the walk-out, but some education staff may chaperone. Education Minister Lisa Thompson sent a message to the teachers and school boards: “that ​ ​ schools are a place of learning.” “We owe it to our parents to ensure that students are safe and they are learning at school every day,” Thompson told reporters at Queen’s Park Wednesday. Meanwhile, five education worker and teacher unions banded together against the PC’schanges to the education file in a joint statement. “The cuts being made to the education budget will have devastating effects on student well-being and achievement,” says a letter signed by AEFO, CUPE, ETFO, OECTA and OSSTF. The unions are also planning a demonstration on the legislature’s lawn Saturday. The Toronto District School Board joined Peel region’s board and penned a letter to Education ​ ​ ​ ​ Minister Lisa Thompson Tuesday, warning larger class sizes could lead to fewer course ​ ​ options. Today’s events April 4 at 9 a.m. – Online ​ ​ The Ontario Chamber of Commerce will release a report on Ontario’s debt burden. April 4 at 9:30 a.m. – Toronto ​ ​ NDP MPPs Peter Tabuns and Monique Taylor will be in the media studio alongside families ​ ​ ​ ​ impacted by a potential cut to special services at home for children with disabilities. April 4 at 11:45 a.m. – Toronto ​ ​ Treasury Board President Peter Bethlenfalvy will deliver a pre-budget luncheon speech to the ​ ​ Canadian Club at the Sheraton Centre. April 4 at 12 p.m. – Toronto ​ ​ Health-care providers and advocates will rally against funding cuts to overdose prevention sites ​ ​ on the legislature’s lawn. April 4 at 8 p.m. – Toronto ​ ​ The annual CJPAC conference takes place at Evergreen Brickworks. ​ ​ Topics of conversation ● Wannabe Ontario Health team service providers got more details on the criteria as the ​ ​ government opened up the application process Wednesday. ​ ​ ● Trade Minister Todd Smith has written to his ministerial counterpart in Nova Scotia, ​ ​ ​ Geoff MacLellan, who chairs the Committee of Internal Trade, to make it clear Ontario ​ is all for building pipelines. ● The aggregate industry is looking to the Progressive Conservatives to ease up restrictions limiting its operation in protected woodlands, wetlands and endangered-species habitats, according to TVO. ​ ​ ​ ● The Toronto Star digs into a provision in recently passed Bill 66 that would ease ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ employers’ duty to pay their workers for overtime hours. ● With all the speculation surrounding the PC’s plans to replace “Yours to Discover” on licence plates, you can test drive your own slogan on a new generator website launched ​ ​ by Abacus Data. Question period NDP lead-off Public hearings on health-care legislation ● Opposition Leader Andrea Horwath kicked off question period asking why the ​ ​ government didn’t consult Cancer Care Ontario on its health-care transformation. (Earlier this week, the agency’s CEO told the committee studying the health care bill he was not looped in on consultations before the bill was tabled.) ● Government House Leader Todd Smith countered that so many “friends of the NDP” ​ ​ had flooded the committee with written submissions that it would take a year to go through them all. “The vast majority of these written submissions came from an NDP, union-led writing campaign,” he said. ○ Horwath told reporters later “I wish I had that many friends.” ○ Leadnow, a non-profit advocacy organization with a progressive bent, is taking ​ credit for no less than 20,000 submissions through a letter-writing campaign on ​ its website, but denied any organized link to the New Democrats, or any political party. (Leadnow and the federal NDP have clashed in the past, over the ​ ​ organization’s campaigning for strategic voting.) Licence plates ● NDP MPP Taras Natyshak offered up a few cheeky slogan ideas for the ​ ​ soon-to-be-rebranded provincial licence plates, including “Yours to Recover” and “Ontario, clap or else.” He asked if the Tories would declare any cost associated with the change with Elections Ontario, as the premier had linked it to partisan politics. ● Government and Consumer Services Minister Bill Walker confirmed “For the People” ​ ​ will not adorn passenger plates.

    April 16, 2019 Honourable Peter Bethlenfalvy President of the Treasury Board Via email: [email protected] / [email protected] Honourable Greg Rickford Minister of Energy, Northern Development and Mines, and Indigenous Affairs Via email: [email protected] / [email protected] Dear Honourable Ministers: Ensuring Provincial procurement policies provide best value to regional communities. In order to directly engage the Provincial Government on policy issues of interest to our region, the Chambers of Commerce in Sudbury, Timmins, Sault Ste. Marie, North Bay and Thunder Bay wish to highlight our concerns around the Provincial Government’s recent announcement of a major initiative to consolidate and centralize procurement spending within Ontario Public Service and broader public sector agencies. Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP), or public-private partnerships, are a highly viable option for risk sharing on major infrastructure projects and should remain a priority across Ontario. However, concerns expressed about the impacts to local small- and medium-sized businesses as a result of a centralized purchasing model are of significant concern to Northern communities. We are advocating against a centralized Greater Toronto Area (GTA) model as we believe that regionalized procurement efforts can deliver similar cost savings, while retaining, and controlling public spending within a region. We strongly believe that a GTA based buying model puts Northern businesses at a disadvantage and impedes the ability to build capacity throughout the province. To provide a regional example, the Lakehead Purchasing Consortium in Thunder Bay has a local award track-record in the 90 percent range, successfully demonstrating support for regional businesses while attaining cost savings through spend consolidation.

  • Hicks Is Ensconced on a Comfy Couch in the Stanhope the Staff Is Unsure About Him
    FREE Circulation TheHighlander 5,000 Thursday 15 March 2012 | Issue 23 Haliburton County’s Independent Newspaper MNR battle lines drawn Petition against changes to Clear Lake reserve making its way to Minister of Natural Resoures and MPP By George Farrell Talk has turned into action after a recent public meeting to address concerns over the MNR’s proposal for the Clear Lake Conservation Reserve. As a result of the Saturday, March 10 meeting held at a packed West Guilford Recreation Centre, a petition with 112 signatures will be sent to local MPP Laurie Scott, the Minister of Natural Resources Michael Gravelle and his Deputy Minister. Back on February 9, the MNR announced in a Preliminary Managements Statement that they were expanding the 1,307 hectare Clear Lake Conservation Reserve and creating more restrictions for the use of the area. These restrictions included: prohibiting the use of existing logging trails for motorized recreational use, prohibiting the use of cached boats and canoes on remote lakes, prohibiting the grooming of existing trails for skiing and snow shoeing and effectively prohibiting trail maintenance for most of the remaining users. On February 12, three days after that announcement, the MNR called an open house meeting for February 16 at the Stanhope Firefighters Community Centre. Due to the short notice, a small group of landowners and users attended the Ten-year-old Glen Bagg contemplates life and granite. He was the youngest curler at the fourth annual Curl for Care meeting. Bonspiel at the Haliburton Curling Club last Saturday, March 10. Photo by Terrance Gavan.

  • Transportation Factsheet Overview
    Transportation Factsheet Overview Whether it’s by car, bicycle, transit or walking, being able to move around easily is an important component of a healthy and dynamic city. Transportation has been identified as the most important issue by many Torontonians. This is likely because it’s becoming increasingly difficult to travel within and between cities in the region (Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA)). There are a number of key issues affecting our region’s mobility. There has been a lack of transit infrastructure investment (streetcars, subways, light rail) from all levels of government over the past several decades; Development and growth within the suburbs means increased traffic congestion coming from all areas of the GTHA but there are difficulties in managing regional transportation Office space is scattered throughout the GTA and much of it is not located close to rapid transit, making commuting by transit difficult. (Think about offices and businesses at the Airport Corporate Centre in Mississauga – it’s very difficult to get there by transit); Generally our roads were built to accommodate cars. Cycling is becoming more popular, especially in urban centres like Toronto. However, cities in the GTHA have been slow to adapt and invest in cycling infrastructure; The suburbs that are throughout the GTA were made for the car, low density making servicing those areas by transit expensive. Transit affordability has been an ongoing concern for the City and with the recent increase in TTC fares, this is only going to get worse. Currently, every TTC rider pays the same adult, senior, student, or child fare, regardless of their ability to pay.
