Folks wondered what I was saying to you, Sol—and sorry for using your first name, but this is a different situation. I had you in my office yesterday, told you how proud I am of you, how you’re blazing a new trail. No one’s ever done this, what you’re doing today. I just want to tell you how proud I am of you, how proud everyone here in the Legislature is and how proud everyone in the First Nations is.

I appreciate your passion in Sioux Lookout. I went up to Sioux Lookout—you remember I went up there? And I committed that I’m going to build that long-term-care home. I’m committing today, in the public: We will be building those beds. We’ll be building a home for Sioux Lookout.

Well, let’s answer the question straight up. Under your government, no schools were built. As a matter of fact, 600 schools were closed.

We have a growing population in Etobicoke. Kids are in portables. They need a place to go to school.

I know they cut funding under education under the Liberal government. I know they cut 600 schools. I know they fired teachers, as opposed to what we’re doing. We’re investing over $16 billion into building new schools over the next 10 years.

Since Etobicoke was ignored for 20 years under their government—they aren’t being ignored anymore. They’re going to be treated fairly, like the rest of the province.

Interjection.

With all due respect to the member, he’s worried about an early election. He should be worrying about who you’re running for: As an independent? Are you running for the Liberals? Are you running for the NDP? That’s what you have to determine, my friend, because you probably won’t be here next round.

But you know something, Mr. Speaker? Under the Liberals: the worst contract I have ever seen in business in 35 years. They were losing hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars every single year.

What we’re doing, we’re going to see new revenues of $895 million to $1.16 billion. That’s hundreds of millions of dollars that we can put towards health care, on top of the 30% increase we’ve already put to health care. We’re going to make sure we help people go to detox beds, rehabilitation centres. That’s where that money’s going to be going. It’s not going to be wasted like the Liberals in the worst contract I’ve ever—

Interjections.
