Ontario Assembly

43rd Parl. 1st Sess.

This government fails to see the ramifications—even if it’s smallest changes to legislation that affect people’s lives who literally have to pay the price, they pay figuratively and literally.

I also think this government’s tendency to pass hasty legislation and figure it out later is negatively impacting our communities time and time again, and I’ll give an example. Tom is one of my constituents. He got pulled over and got a $300—

Interjection.

Tom got a ticket because his driver’s licence expired—$300, Speaker. Now, Tom honestly and genuinely didn’t know his licence was expired because this government stopped sending out notices to people, but they forgot to tell people.

I’d like to ask the member, now that Tom has received a $300 fine, what would you think this government would say to Tom and will they take ownership for the mismanagement that they’ve created for people like Tom who got a $300 fine for not having a licence?
