Hardeman Not Happy with Premier in Block of CO Bill

Monday, 10 June 2013 11:10

Oxford's MPP is taking the Premier to task today. Ernie Hardeman says he's "disappointed", after Kathleen Wynne and House Leader John Milloy blocked his private members bill from gaining 2nd and 3rd reading. Hardeman's bill, which has been introduced 5-times, was put up for unanimous consent this morning. But, Wynne and Milloy both said "No". This, after Wynne spoke at a Fire Chiefs' convention, on May 6th, saying "mandatory carbon monoxide detectors is something we need to make happen." Hardeman accuses Wynne of playing politics on a life-and-death matter. "Having her on the record and saying just a few weeks ago that this bill should get passed. I thought at the very least, I'd have her support in trying to get it through. Whatever her reasons were, I think it's inappropriate to be playing politics with this, once we've got it this far." Hardeman also questions why Wynne felt it was necessary to voice her opposition to consent. "There was no reason she needed to say no. When you ask for unanimous consent it only requires one person to say no. I don't know why she wanted to make sure that it was so emphatic that she said no along with the house leader." Hardeman is still holding out hope for his bill, which is still on the order paper, and will be back for 2nd reading later this year.
