NDP Poverty
Critic Tony Martin's Bill 118 to increase ODSP benefits will
be called for second reading on Thursday June 13th at 11 am - at
that time (12 noon) there will be an hour of debate followed by
the vote to decide whether or not it proceeds to third reading.
We would love
to fill the member's and visitor's galleries with people who support
the NDP's bill - if you are planning on attending please give call
Sarah Johnson at Tony Martin's Toronto office Tel: 416-325-4014
or email Sarah at sjordison@ndp.on.ca
Alternatively, you can call Howard
Hampton's office to request passes to the Visitors' Gallery.
Tel:
416-325-8300; Fax: 416-325-8222; e-mail: HowardHampton-MPP@ontla.ola.org
It is critical
that pressure be put on the government to support Bill 118 before
June 13th. Please phone, email and fax Tory MPPs demanding they
support Bill 118. Tell
everyone you know to write or phone their Tory MPPs
A full listing of Ontario MPPs with contact information is available
on the Government of Ontario website at www.ontla.on.ca/Members/mailing_addresses/index.htm
We want to make
sure that this bill becomes law. For that to happen it must first
pass 2nd reading. Any help you can provide to pressure the government
will go a long way toward making this a reality.
