  • “The Risk of a Carbon Tax Recession Is Very Real.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report January 22, 2019 Quotation of the day “The risk of a carbon tax recession is very real.” Premier Doug Ford takes fresh aim at Ottawa’s carbon backstop in an Economic Club ​ ​ speech. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The House is recessed until February 19. In the park Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell hosted the Lincoln M. Alexander Awards ​ ​ ceremony in the LG Suite Monday afternoon. The award honours young folks who have made a difference in their community when it comes to eliminating racial discrimination and promoting social equality. This year’s winners are Manaal Chasso, Lisa Wang and Fiqir Worku, and you ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ can read more about their projects here. ​ ​ Ford: Beware “carbon tax recession” The premier took fresh aim at Ottawa’s carbon backstop Monday, saying it will trigger a recession in Ontario. Speaking to more than 1,000 business-minded people at an Economic Club luncheon at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Premier Doug Ford warned of tough economic times ahead ​ ​ thanks to the federal government’s carbon pricing. “A carbon tax will be a total economic disaster and there are already economic warning signs on the horizon,” Ford said in his prepared remarks. “There couldn’t be a worse time to impose a massive, job-killing tax on Ontario families and small businesses.” “The risk of a carbon tax recession is very real,” Ford said. But critics were skeptical. NDP environment and climate change critic Peter Tabuns accused Ford of “making things up to ​ ​ justify cash handouts to big polluters,” a reference to the $400-million taxpayer-funded “carbon trust” in the PC’s new climate action plan, which incentivizes businesses to reduce emissions.

Raymond Cho 7 Queen's Park Crescent, 6th Floor, Frost Building South Toronto, Ontario October, 2018 Dear Scarborough MPP’s, As members of the ODSP Action Coalition for Scarborough, we are taking this opportunity to write to each of you about matters concerning the lives of the approximately 20,000 recipients of the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) who live in Scarborough. We realize that, as a group of six, you represent the three largest political parties in Ontario and four of you represent the Progressive Conservative party that currently holds a majority mandate in Ontario. We believe that you are aware that on July 31, 2018, Minister Lisa Macleod deregulated 19 important improvements to the Ontario Works and ODSP programs that would have significantly assisted the lives of ODSP recipients in Scarborough. A list of the 19 improvements is attached. They range from benefit increases to allowing recipients to keep more of the money that they earn from work or receive as help from family. In announcing the deregulation, The Minister said: “They (the previous Liberal government) … rammed through a series of rushed regulatory changes that had more to do with scoring political points than actually helping people.1” We respectfully disagree with the Minister in two respects. First, the deregulated improvements would have provided significant assistance to 20,000 ODSP recipients in your ridings.

    TRACY MACCHARLES,MPP | MITZIE HUNTER ,MPP Pickering – Scarborough East Scarborough-Guildwood Ontario Reducing Carbon Footprint, Boosting Care at Hospitals in Scarborough Energy Savings to be Reinvested in Patient Care November 29, 2017 NEWS Ontario is investing in hospitals to improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gases and redirect savings into patient care across the province. The Hospital Energy Efficiency Program will help hospitals save energy and encourage the use of more renewable energy technologies. Scarborough and Rouge Hospital is receiving more than $420,000 in funding for three energy-efficiency projects. This year, Ontario is funding 180 projects at 98 hospitals across the province, including 117 heating, ventiliation and air conditioning projects, 35 lighting projects and 28 projects that address other energy efficiency needs at hospitals. As a result of these and other improvements, almost five megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent gases are expected to be eliminated from the environment by 2050, the equivalent to taking about 40,000 vehicles off our roads. By 2020-21, it is estimated that we can generate over $60 million in annual energy-related savings and sustain those savings on an annual basis for 20 years. This program is an initiative of the Climate Change Action Plan and uses proceeds from Ontario’s carbon market to modernize facilities such as hospitals, universities, and heritage buildings. Improving patient care at hospitals across the province is part of Ontario’s plan to create fairness and opportunity during this period of rapid economic change. The plan includes a higher minimum wage and better working conditions, free tuition for hundreds of thousands of students, easier access to affordable child care, and free prescription drugs for everyone under 25 through the biggest expansion of medicare in a generation.

  • AMO School Closures 2017-03-16
    Sent via e-mail: [email protected] [email protected] March 16, 2017 The Honourable Kathleen Wynne Premier of Ontario Legislative Building Queen's Park Toronto, Ontario M7A 1A1 The Honourable Mitzie Hunter Minister of Education 22nd Floor, Mowat Block 900 Bay Street Toronto, Ontario M7A 1L2 Dear Premier Wynne and Minister Hunter: On behalf of AMO members, I am writing to express our continuing concern with the growing number of school closures across the province. This issue has risen to the forefront among our members, with many municipal governments passing Council resolutions calling for a moratorium on school closures. As you know, in communities where school closures are taking place, residents feel a negative impact on student wellbeing and the loss of the community connection a school provides. In rural areas with only one school, school closures can lead to families considering relocation and eventual disinvestment in the area. There are also negative impacts on student wellbeing as they are often bused away from their communities to the next nearest school. In communities of all sizes, while larger schools may offer specialized programs, activities, and facilities, local schools allow for students to develop a sense of community, and better connect with other students and teachers. A further concern is that the Province’s plan to add 100,000 new child care spaces in school facilities may be thwarted by school closures. While AMO acknowledges the recent response from the Ministries of Education and Infrastructure to the growing concerns around school closures, the provincial response does not, in our view, go so far as to address the issue.

  • Queen's Park Notes
    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.
