On Sept 17th I received this from Cheri DiNovo’s
office. The NDP hasn’t said much on the issue.
It is extremely interesting that the Liberal and Conservatives did not respond to my inquiry.
The evidence says otherwise.
I used bill 27 as a reference. Nothing from stopping the
Liberals from introducing a bill that would be supported by the Conservatives
and get passed with the NDP having no say.
The Liberals don’t want to make this public at this time.
That’s politics for you.
I ask you this
a)
Did the Conservatives make public the fact they were going to
cut 21.6% from people on Ontario Works?
(No but it went through)
b)
Did the Liberals make it public that they were going to cut
the CSUMB? (No but it went through)
c)
Did the Liberals make it public that they were going to cut
the Special Diet twice? (No but it went
through)
The evidence that I see and hear is that the Liberals might
very well merge ODSP with OW and they won’t make it public until its too late.
Hi Ron,
Right now,
from what we have heard, there is no discussion about merging OW and ODSP. At
least, that is what the government liaison officer has informed our office when
we asked about it.
