I find this proposal dangerous and out of touch with the reality of the workplace and society.
We have regulations to protect workers and the public. Slashing these regulations in the name of "opening Ontario to business" is reckless and will endanger the people of Ontario.
The obvious fact is that Ontario has always been open for business. Safe drinking water, environmental protection and consumer and worker protections are far more important and necessary than rhetorical lip service to industries that are thriving in Ontario.
This new legislation will make unlicensed home child care facilities more dangerous for the children in their care. The legislation will allow large scale public institutions to skirt using Unionised contractors to build infrastructure projects. We have seen In Ontario the results of employers using cut rate labour. Every year there are injuries and death due to this reckless behavior.
In a time where Ontarios unemployment rate is at an 18 year low and employers are experiencing difficulty in finding workers Ontario and it's government should be doing more to protect it's workers health, safety and rights, not pandering to those who have lined our politicians election funds.
Our workers and environment are far more important than a few dollars saved in the most dangerous and irresponsible way.
