Decentralized Democracy

Ontario Assembly

43rd Parl. 1st Sess.
November 30, 2023 09:00AM

Thank you for your presentation. The other day, the Premier said that this was a very one-sided deal but that he was willing to do it because he loves his city so much. I love my city. I think we all love the cities we’re from and that we represent. So I’m wondering, when is this government going to show some love to the city of Ottawa? Because it got no money to repair from the derecho. It got no money to support from the trucker convoy. There’s a bill before the House to upload Highway 174, which is similar to the Don Valley and the Gardiner in Toronto. So when is the government going to show Ottawa a little love?

We must be talking about a different bill because that bill just says “discussions” about highways. And while you’re discussing the Gardiner and the Don Valley, how about discussing Highway 11, which you already have control of, on which people play chicken with transports every day—transports passing each other on double lines, people being pushed in the ditch—and the Trans-Canada Highway.

How about discussing with municipalities like Timmins, like Temiskaming Shores, like Iroquois Falls, about the highways that you downloaded to them? How about discussing uploading them so they can pay for social services, so they can pay for subsidized housing? How about doing that?
