Orders of the Day — Protecting Ontario’s Streets and Communities Act, 2026 / Loi de 2026 visant à protéger les rues et les collectivités de l’Ontario
Thank you so much for that question. I have read that report. I would encourage every member to read it. It’s just over a thousand pages. The footnotes are inaccurate. It is filled with inconsistencies in philosophy and…

Thanks to the member from London West for that question. This goes back to the Auditor General’s report. This is why she recommended that the Attorney General have his eyes on what’s happening in our court system. Victi…

Before I ask my question, I just want to say a quick congratulations to my husband, Dale Fife, on his upcoming retirement. He has dedicated 31 years to his students in Waterloo region. He’s a really good teacher—one of t…
