Toronto-Danforth NDP MPP Peter Tabuns applauds the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) on the excellent report they have provided with recommendations to protect Asian anglers from further discrimination and racist attacks.

Hamilton Centre MPP Andrea Horwath says it is “reprehensible” that the McGuinty government has not ordered a stand-alone coroner's inquest into the March 2006 murder of eight-year-old Jared Osidacz, who was killed by his father in Brantford on a court-authorized, unsupervised visit.

NDP Justice critic Peter Kormos demanded Dalton McGuinty initiate a full public inquiry into what led to a court ruling that stayed numerous charges against a group of Toronto drug squad officers.

“Under Dalton McGuinty, justice is not only blind, it’s also ineffective,” said Kormos.

NDP Justice critic Peter Kormos said the McGuinty Liberal’s negligence has brought the administration of justice into disrepute.

“Our justice system is in chaos and the McGuinty Liberals are ignoring the problem. It’s despicable that the biggest corruption investigation in the history of Canadian policing was thrown out because of unreasonable delays. Once again this proves that the McGuinty Liberals are just too incompetent to deal with the problems in our justice system,” said Kormos.

NDP Leader Howard Hampton called on the McGuinty Liberals to take concrete action on the gun violence crisis in Toronto by increasing the Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit (PWEU).

"No one should ever have to go through the pain of losing a loved one to gun violence. But too many are experiencing just that. What is needed from the Dalton McGuinty is some leadership to make our communities safer," Hampton said.

NDP Justice critic Peter Kormos says the McGuinty Liberals have failed to ensure access to justice for working families.

"I want to thank the Hon. Mr. Coulter Osborne for the work on his report,” said Kormos.
