Ontario PC MPP Put Forward Resolution to Debate Rural-Urban Divide

The Ontario Legislature is scheduled to debate a resolution today, put forward by Progressive Conservative MPP Randy Pettapiece (Perth-Wellington) on the rural-urban divide. The proposal will be debated and a resolution will be adopted.

The following is the resolution that was introduced for debate:

That, in the opinion of this House, the government should re-evaluate policies that negatively affect residents of rural and small-town Ontario and are a source of growing frustration in rural communities, which are key to a strong, healthy province.

For those interested in this resolution debate you can watch it live online at www.ontla.on.ca on Thursday, September 6 at 2:30pm EST. The debate is projected to last an hour.

Since Randy was elected on October 6, 2011 he has been a strong advocate for rural communities across Ontario and currently serves as the official opposition’s deputy critic for agriculture. Rural Ontarians know Pettapiece for standing up on important issues that impact their communities and most notability; he has spoken out against the current government’s policies relating to the horse racing industry, wind turbines and red tape issues affecting farmers.
