So that was a long question, but you know what I’ll focus on? Ontario Place. I just want to give a shout-out to Ontario Place for All and Architectural Conservancy Ontario and also some of my colleagues who are calling for a value-for-money audit of the Conservative government’s plan to hand over a massive chunk of publicly owned Ontario Place to a for-profit place—where is it?—based out of Austria.

I don’t have a problem with investment, but I think we need to invest in Ontario first. And Ontario Place and this government’s ill-thought-out plan for Ontario Place is a best example of the way in which they prop up their buddies—heck, foreign corporations now—as opposed to propping our community up. We don’t need a $600-million private spa courtesy of the government. What are we going to call it? Austria place, or the place formerly known as Ontario Place? Let’s bring the community in to consult about Ontario Place, a place many of us in this House still enjoy to this day.

What are people facing? They are literally facing being unhoused. Some of them are literally considering medical assistance in dying. And some of them are simply just walking around feeling so distraught that they cannot afford the basics.

And I never forgot this woman. We’re still in touch, actually. I’m going to see her next month and I’m going to tell her that you mentioned ODSP, because that will matter to her. She’s very happy when we mention it and she’s thrilled to hear that we want to at least double the ODSP/OW rates.

I mean, any of one of us as MPPs, how would you feel if you got a letter tomorrow saying “Get the hell out of your residence; it’s being demolished. Thank you very much”? This is not fair. What do you tell the senior who has been living at 55 Brownlow for 40-odd years? Where is she supposed to go? She was shaking, speaking to me last night. Where is she supposed to go? As I said last night, maybe Queen’s Park should open its doors at night. I hear they have a lot of space here at night for those who are unhoused.
