don’t hold the right union card or have chosen not to hold one at all,” Harris stated. “In this day and age, it is unacceptable for the province to stand by and allow thousands of contractors to be prevented from working on public infrastructure because of a legal loophole. That’s why I am calling on all members of the Legislative Assembly to support much-needed legislative reform.” Harris’s bill, if passed, would exempt municipalities and school boards from the province’s collective-bargaining rules for the construction industry, allowing all qualified contractors the opportunity to

bid on publicly funded infrastructure projects, the press release states. Increased competition would maximize fairness and value for local governments and taxpayers, Harris and Pettapiece contend. On June 10, the City of Stratford adopted a resolution endorsing the bill. Councillor Tom Clifford spoke at the Sept. 13 event. “I hope all three parties support it”, said Clifford. “The City of Stratford is 100 per cent behind it.” “We’re calling on MPPs from all parties to stand up for municipalities by supporting this legislation,” concluded Pettapiece.

that were “hits “ and some that were “misses” in her experience. The plants that she disliked were mostly ones that were very invasive. They may have beautiful flowers but soon take over a flowerbed, she noted. This included lysamachia firecracker, false spirea and Hymalayan impatiens. Some of her favourite perennials were: primula, crocosmia, verbena and anemone. Her “must have” annuals included giant cactus zinnia, cactus dahlia, canna lily and rudbeckias. Duncan answered a number of questions and ended her presentation by extending an invitation to visit her flower garden during their annual plant sales. During recess, lunch was served by Tammy Martin and Emma Bauman. Members took
STRATFORD – Loopholes in Ontario labour laws are pushing up the cost of public infrastructure projects, say two area MPPs. Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece hosted Kitchener-Conestoga MPP Michael Harris in Stratford on Sept. 13 to discuss Harris’ Bill 73, the Fair and Open Tendering Act. “Many municipalities in Perth-Wellington are already struggling to finance muchneeded infrastructure, and taxpayers can’t afford to pay more,” said Pettapiece. “That’s why I strongly support this bill.” The Conservative MPPs say Ontario’s Labour Relations Act fails to clearly define the role of public sector employers. A press release from Pettapiece’s office states the “legal loophole has allowed certain unions to certify municipalities and school boards under collectivebargaining rules intended for private sector construction companies. Under this closed tendering, municipalities and school boards are forced to contract all infrastructure projects to companies organized by a specific union.” “This unfair labour practice prevents roughly 70 percent of qualified contractors from working on our bridges, water treatment facilities and public buildings – just because they
