I know I can’t—I don’t know the riding that the one person is screaming at me about, but everything I’m talking about is absolutely the truth, and I’m going to say that.

I’ve only got a minute left, and I know everybody’s happy about that because I was hoping for 20 minutes, but here’s what the Conservatives could have put in this bill that I and my colleagues could have supported. How about ending deeming for injured workers? Why isn’t that in the bill? How about passing paid sick days? Because people get sick. Why not make sure that we tackle the price gouging? Why not talk about Loblaws and some of those others that are making record profits as people just down the street here—just down the street, somebody died on the street last week. That’s the second one in about six weeks in the richest province, the richest country in the world, yet our CEOs are making record profits, our companies are making record profits as people are starving and have to go to food banks. Thank you very much for that last minute that wasn’t—

On the tolls: The reason why I mentioned about the press—because it was misleading; it wasn’t accurate, because we are still going to charge people tolls. If you really care about affordability and you care about the people in Oshawa and Durham region, and you care about that council that was extremely serious the other morning when they had their council meeting, take the tolls off the 407 east. That’s why I’m saying it. When you did your press conference, you got all kinds—and that’s great. That’s what you want when you put a bill forward. But don’t mislead people, and certainly don’t get the councils across the province of Ontario upset. Take the tolls off the 407 east. That’s when I may even decide to support you.

The issue is that we should want to protect our environment, and that’s why the NDP has been very clear—and I said this over and over, although you guys might not be listening to me. It is late Thursday afternoon, and maybe you’re saying, “Finally, finally, we’re just about done for the week.”

I’m telling you: The cap-and-trade is what the NDP has supported. And why have we supported it? It was because the polluters were going to pay. What you’ve done is, with the carbon tax, you guys have supported it—through the Liberals, that were now going to every resident in the province of Ontario and charging them. Why don’t you want to charge the emitters that are causing the environmental crisis that we’re facing today? It makes absolutely no sense to me. And yet, you stand up day after day after day, not talking about cap-and-trade and making the big corporations that are killing our environment, not only here in Ontario but right across the country—why shouldn’t they be paying?
