The PCs are moving to change the
legislature's rules of procedure, formally called the standing
orders. These rules control such things as when bills can be
introduced, when opposition parties get to put forward motions, and
how much debate must take place before a bill goes to a final
vote.
The rules already allow the government to cut short
debate on bills and push them through to a final vote without
giving the public the chance to speak at committee hearings. The PCs
have used this power with most of the legislation they have proposed
so far.The proposed changes make it easier for the government to do this more quickly.
Then there is this …....
“We’re going to hold governments accountable in over 460 towns in this province to make sure they maximize their budgets in the best way they can to respect the taxpayers.”
Apparently the municipalities must be 'accountable' to Doug Fraud as he and his newly elected minions (the majority of whom have never served in government) but he is only accountable to the electorate once every 4 years according to his calculations.
Remember that........
Nearly 60 per cent of the MPPs who took their seats at Queen's Park once the legislature resumes are newly-elected. Of the 124 ridings in Ontario, 73 were won by people who have never been an MPP that being mostly newly elected PCs.
Talk about the the rabid guide dog leading the blind masses!
