I’ve been continually surprised in my nine months in this institution how frequently the government introduces legislation without consulting with stakeholders, or rushes legislation through without giving stakeholders time to see it. I can’t help but wonder, as I’m taking a look at this doorstop that was just given to us this morning, if one of the reasons might be because the government is hoping to slide some things by Ontarians, like changing the name of “private career colleges” to just “career colleges,” which seems to be a move just to take information away from Ontarians so that they don’t actually know whether they’re attending a public institution or a private institution.

I would like to ask the member from Carleton, wouldn’t it be better, if these were actually great changes for Ontarians, to give Ontarians the time to actually see, understand and debate the changes in this legislation?
