Ontario Assembly

43rd Parl. 1st Sess.

Thank you to the member from Windsor for a great analysis. I wanted to get your perspective on what this bill is doing in terms of affordability for the people of Ontario. The opposition, I know, has mentioned over and over again this is a “nothing burger” bill. I want to read what Stephen Laskowski, president of the Ontario Trucking Association, was quoted as saying: “This is also the type of legislative measure that all governments should be looking at to control inflation and help the entire supply chain and families reduce their costs.”

There’s also supportive quotes from Vince Accardi from the Ontario Motor Coach Association and multiple mayors across the province, including the previous Liberal leader himself, Steven Del Duca.

So my question to the member is, if the opposition feels that this is a “nothing burger” bill, do you feel all these mayors and all these representatives of various businesses and stakeholder groups in the province feel it’s a “nothing burger” bill as well?
