Speaker, they’re folding faster than a deck of cards over there.

Just like the greenbelt grab, the decision to dissolve Peel region was also rushed to advance the Premier’s personal and political interests.

Well, the people have caught on to this government’s pattern of preferential treatment and decision-making that puts their own interests over and over again ahead of real Ontarians.

So I’m going to ask the Premier again: Will he admit that the dissolution of Peel region is a $1.3-billion political game?

Interjections.

Both the mayor of Brampton and the mayor of Caledon have spoken out against the dissolution of Peel region. They, too, are calling for this government to reverse their decision.

The reality is, this backroom deal that was concocted by the Premier and the new Liberal leader has left people in Peel so distressed about how this will impact their public services—everything from garbage collection and sewers to children’s programs and, in fact, shelter services.

Back to the Premier of this province: Why should the people of Peel trust him when he has continued to use them as a pawn in his 4-D chess game?

Interjections.
