 Therefore, it is time for our members' statements. The member from Whitby, Oshawa. Thank you, Speaker. I'd like to take this opportunity as the official opposition critic for training colleges and universities to speak about the skills mismatch and its effects in my writing of Whitby, Oshawa. A great young man from my writing graduated from Teachers College last year and he's always wanted to teach. But for the past year, Speaker, he's not been able to find employment. And after an interview with Durham District School Board, he did not get the position and was told that he could not reapply for a full year. Speaker, thousands from Teachers College will be graduating this year and diluting this young man's opportunities. Mr. Speaker, this skills mismatch continues to grow and all the government can say is that they're conducting another review. And this government's had 13 years to conduct the reviews. Parents in my writing want to know that their sons and daughters can leave the University College or an apprenticeship with a real opportunity to start a career. Speaker, it's time for the government to take real action and stop graduating people for yesterday's jobs. Thank you, Speaker. Thank you. Members, statements from the member from Oshawa. Thank you, Speaker. The manufacturing industry isn't what it used to be, nor should it be. As a province, we should be moving forward. We should be an example for the world to follow, but what we shouldn't be doing is leaving people behind. Tomorrow, General Motors will announce its plan to hire 1,000 new engineers to boost its research and development activities in Canada. Make no mistake, this is a good news announcement. It is an important step forward for the auto industry in Ontario and in Oshawa. I'm encouraged by General Motors' continued commitment to Oshawa, but the fact is the families in our community continue to remain uncertain about their futures. Without a new product mandate from General Motors and without a promise to keep the existing 2,500 jobs at the assembly plants, our community is left with more questions than answers. Oshawa has been a leader in the automotive industry for decades, and as we continue to grow as an innovation hub, we must also ensure that the thousands of families that built GM are not left behind. These families have been left in the lurch for more than a decade, and they deserve to know what the future will hold. Oshawa is, and always will be, Motor City, and that is thanks to the efforts of generations of GM employees in our community. Hard work shouldn't go unnoticed, and it shouldn't be forgotten. So, I ask that the government work with GM and fight for our community. Tomorrow's announcement will ensure that the cars of the future will be developed in Oshawa. Now let's make sure they are built in Oshawa too. Thank you. Member Stavers, the member from the Tobacco Center. Thank you, Speaker. I hold a monthly seniors advisory group meeting in my riding of the Tobacco Center, and when I started having those meetings, I began to hear from seniors who told me that they had received unwanted sales offers at their door, where salespeople use coercive, aggressive, misleading sales tactics to entice them into contracts that take advantage of them right at their own doorsteps. Under the guise of saving consumers money, many dishonest salespeople do consumers into contracts that are more expensive than industry standards, that have harsh cancellation fees and provide inferior products and services that don't work or that don't perform as advertised. Shameful. While this is an issue that cuts across all ages and backgrounds, it's alarming to see how often these salespeople target those who can be vulnerable. It is reprehensible, beyond reprehensible to me, that some organizations have a business model that's based on taking advantage of vulnerable people. That is why I introduced Bill 193, the Door-to-Door Sales Prohibition Act, which would ban the sale leaser rent at a consumer's home of products that have been the subject of these reprehensible tactics. And I'm pleased to note that consumer groups, CARP, and a number of municipalities have passed motions supporting my bill in urging a provincial ban on door-to-door sales of these products. They include the City of Brampton, Hamilton, Markham, Mississauga, Oshawa, Pickering, the Township of North Dundas, the Township of Wellington North, and the City of Toronto, amongst others. Consumers have spoken, advocacy groups have spoken, and now the municipalities are speaking up as well. We must take action to protect Ontarians from these predatory practices. When my bill is presented for second reading this afternoon, I hope that all members will join me in supporting this legislation. The seniors in my riding and consumers across Ontario deserve no less. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We hear there may be a government announcement on human trafficking later this month, even though we gather here on the last day of this session, still not having a public comprehensive strategy or adequate dedicated funding. The government has had many opportunities to take action and has chosen not to. My motion for Human Trafficking Task Force was unanimously supported back in 2015, no task force yet. As well, my private member's bill saving the Girl Next Door Act past second reading unanimously in February, yet it is still languishing in committee. This year's budget, again, back in February was the most direct place for this government to show its care to prioritize this battle, yet the result was no immediate moneys dedicated to fight human trafficking. There were reports of human trafficking incidences week after week. In April, the OPP, RCMP and Canada Board of Services laid charges against 80 people for sexual assault making, distributing and accessing child pornography. Investigators also found minors including girls 14 to 16 years working in a sex trade against their will. What does it take for this government to understand that every single passing day without action leaves a victim without rescue? Municipalities get it. Toronto, the GTA, Hamilton, Peterborough, over to Great County and all the way up to Hearst and Moussineet understand. In fact, 135 municipalities to date have passed resolutions in support of my legislation against human trafficking. It is a province-wide crisis. Moreover, the appropriate funding needs to reach all arms from police forces to victim services to have real effect. This has to be a coordinated effort. A multi-jurisdictional task force is needed now. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Thank you, Speaker. I rise today to invite motorcyclists from across the province to the New Lisker Bikers Union. It's in the long weekend of July, July 1st long weekend, and over 15 years this has gone from 20 bikers in a barbecue to an event where over 6,000 motorcyclists come to New Lisker, to Miskming Shores every year. It's a family friendly event and one of the highlights of this event is the Freedom Ride where it takes about 10 miles of motorcycles on a route. It's closed off. The police and everybody, they participate and we go in front of the hospital and give gifts to cancer patients and seeing the kids out there with the yellow t-shirts to cancer survivors it's truly a moving experience. I invite you specifically this year because this sadly is going to be the last year of the Bikers Union. The driving force behind the Bikers Union, Barry Fippen and who's still the driving force who's the originator in the driving force has decided, along with this committee, they've got a lot of volunteers that they're going to end this in a high note and this is going to be the biggest and best Bikers Union people have ever seen. And if you want to get there, you just have to go up Highway 11 and you'll start seeing big yellow signs in memory of about cancer patients. They raise a lot of money for cancer. There's more signs for the Bikers Union than any election campaign in history and it's a great event. I'd like to thank Barry. Over the years they have raised over a million dollars which is held in trust by the Smithsburg Foundation and the proceeds of that will help cancer patients for many, many years to come. Thank you. Sounds like hog heaven. Member Stavitz, the member from Ajax, back to me. I just slipped. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's a joy to be back here this afternoon.

two and a half million dollars to create a new York University AMPD motion media studio at Cinespace Film Studios the state of the art facility for teaching, learning and producing content is embedded
