MPP Fedeli says Wynne Government ignoring input on Omnibus Legislation

Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli says the provincial government has ignored all input on its omnibus legislation, and shown once again it has no intention of listening to Ontario families and businesses. Through Bill 70, the government is seeking to amend 27 different laws and create four new laws.

Some of these changes include imposing a new 61.5 per cent sales tax on Ontario’s craft spirits distillers, increasing land transfer taxes, and making significant changes in the labour relations sector. Fedeli says the Fall Economic Statement revealed the government can’t balance its books and that life remains unaffordable for families under this government.

He says the government has used its majority to silence opposition MPPs and impacted stakeholders by significantly limiting the time of debate. During committee, the Wynne government refused all Opposition amendments to remove over $100 million in new taxes being imposed on Ontario families and seniors. Fedeli concluded by saying the Ontario PC Caucus does not support the economic policies of the Wynne government and will be voting against Bill 70.
