The robocall issue: it is an Ontario problem too
Wouldn't you get angry is someone took one of your most effective business tools, and ruined it by equating it with outrageous lies and flagrant abuse. That's the case with robocalls. I have an opinion, and not everybody is going to like it! Read more.
Big student uptake for 30 percent tuition grant
Ontario students can now apply for the new "30-percent-off" Ontario Tuition grant to help with their fees for the 2012 winter semester. The new grant will ensure postsecondary education remains accessible and affordable. It will save university or college degree students $800 and college diploma, and certificate students $365 for this semester. Read more.
Economic fundamentals and balancing the Budget
On Wednesday January 24, 2012, Premier Dalton McGuinty gave a speech to the Canadian Club of Toronto, outlining the challenges facing Ontario, the progress the Province has made, the challenges in returning to a balanced Ontario Budget, and what Ontarians can expect in the years ahead. Read more.
Keeping our commitments
Promise kept! Ontario government red tape reduced
Ontario has taken significant steps in the past few years to make the Province a more attractive place to work, play, study and raise a family. Since 2008 alone, Ontario has eliminated more than 80,000 regulatory requirements. Read more.
Promise kept! Court costs uploaded from property tax
Ontario is providing the three municipalities in Peel Region: the cities of Mississauga and Brampton and the town of Caledon with funding for court security. This represents nearly $9.4 million in 2012 to upload court costs. Read more.
Promise kept! 30 percent tuition cut now in effect
We said it in the campaign, and we mean it in government: Ontario students are getting a thirty percent tuition cut. It is effective now. The measure was passed in the Ontario Legislature before the Christmas recess. Click for more info.
Promise kept! New ambulatory surgery centre at CVH
When your Liberal government makes a health care promise, we keep it. When we take on a big project, we complete it on time and within budget. In 2007, I said Ontario would fund a new ambulatory surgery centre at Credit Valley Hospital. Along with other significant capital upgrades, it was announced on August 23rd as Phase III at Credit Valley Hospital. More detail.
Liberal agenda to move Ontario forward together
Before I was your MPP, I attended the 1996 Ontario Liberal Leadership Convention that chose Dalton McGuinty to lead our party. For 15 years, I have worked with and watched Dalton as a colleague, leader and friend. Want to know where your government is asking you to help take Ontario? See this July 24 speech that sets out six challenges for Ontario as we move forward.

The 2011 Ontario Election
Nomination Speech: Keep commitments, do homework
Keeping your promises and doing your homework are the keys to success in public life, said Mississauga-Streetsville Member of Provincial Parliament Bob Delaney, as he kicked off the re-election campaign at the riding's Campaign Office on Queen Street in Streetsville. "Since 2003, we have done everything we said we would do, and we will do so again." Full story.
So who's a "foreigner" Hudak? Spell it out!
By Tim Hudak's warped, sneering, hypocritical, angry rhetoric, I ought to feel hard-done-by. After all, just about everybody on my street, except me, seems to meet the Hudak Conservative definition of being a "foreigner." The difference is that instead, I feel angry because my neighbours, and those like me, born in Canada, are being treated like idiots by Hudak. Read more.
Truth checks on obvious PC policy nonsense
Click Issues ⇒ Truth Checks, and choose either the Chain E-mail rant that the desperate Conservatives keep sending to their core faithful, or click Hydro Debt to see Hudak's preposterous claims that the Ontario Hydro "stranded debt," that he and bumbling Conservative cohort themselves created, blown out of the water.
Never, never trust Conservatives with money!
Remember the hidden $5.6 billion deficit left by the PC Party after Ontarians tossed them from government in 2003? They are at it again. This time, their slogan-clogged platform leaves the PCs a breathtaking $14 billion short of break-even. We don't need this type of self-induced, U.S.-style, tea party willful financial starvation.

Hudak's slap in the face to Credit Valley Hospital
Any doubt that the Conservatives can't conceal their desire to tear apart Ontario's health care system was dispelled last fall when Tory Leader Tim Hudak flat-out lied about Credit Valley. And despite touring the hospital, and being called out by Mayor McCallion, Hudak and the Tories have never apologized. It has been Disgusting! Read the details.
