43rd Parl. 1st Sess.

Let me just get this straight: The Leader of the Opposition’s main concern is that we might have to change the name of the brand new subway station that we’re building—across the $30-billion infrastructure program to bring subways to the city of Toronto, in an area that is being redeveloped, that is saving the science centre, bringing tourists back to Ontario Place, that they allowed to destroy, in co-operation with the NDP. The number one concern that the Leader of the Opposition has is, we might have to change the name of that subway stop. That’s it.

I’ll tell you what. I will give the Leader of the Opposition a victory: We’ll change the name of the subway stop for them.

Let me just thank all members for another productive week, on behalf of the people of the province of Ontario.

On Monday, April 24, in the morning, we will begin at 9 o’clock with third reading of Bill 69, Reducing Inefficiencies Act. In the afternoon, it will be opposition day number 4, then third reading of Bill 69.

On Tuesday, April 25, in the morning, we will start with third reading of Bill 69. In the afternoon, we will continue with Bill 69. And in the evening, we will have a PMB standing in the name of the member for Carleton, which is Bill 93, Joshua’s Law.

On Wednesday, April 26, we’ll have third reading of Bill 60 in the morning. In the afternoon, we will begin debate on a government bill, which will be introduced. In the evening, there will be the member for Sarnia–Lambton’s private member’s notion number 48. In the night sitting, we will continue debate on a government bill which was introduced.

On Thursday, April 27, in the morning, we will continue debate on a bill that was introduced by the government. We will have third reading on Bill 60. In the evening, the member for Renfrew–Nipissing–Pembroke—we’ll have a debate on Bill 96, the Ministry of Correctional Services Amendment Act.

Whilst there will be a more fulsome opportunity for members to express their gratitude, I think I would be remiss if I didn’t also take the opportunity, briefly, to thank the Clerk, who recently announced that he will be retiring at the end of June, for his extraordinary 42 years’ worth of service. As I said, we’ll have a better opportunity—

Applause.
