Ontario Assembly

43rd Parl. 1st Sess.

Thank you to the member from Humber River–Black Creek for his debate portion today.

Throughout this process, and throughout the pre-budget consultations, we heard from the citizens of Ontario very clearly about their needs and their wants and things that were necessary for themselves and their communities to thrive.

We heard from Community Living, who were begging for 5% to ensure that our most vulnerable residents with disabilities had a safe space to live. They didn’t receive it.

We heard from social assistance advocates asking for Ontario Works and ODSP benefits to be raised, to be doubled, so that people could live in dignity and have food in their fridge—never happened.

We’ve seen 67,000 children on wait-lists for autism services—that’s not there.

There are complete failures time and time and time again in this budget. Could the member please tell us—

What would he say the grade would be for this government’s vulnerable residents score?
