Ms. Lisa MacLeod: My question is for the Premier. When Dalton McGuinty was caught trying to slip through eco taxes onto 9,000 new products this past summer, he offered a mea culpa. He said, "We came up short." If struggling Ontario families think they've heard that before, it is because they have. After he was caught in the billion-dollar eHealth boondoggle, he said, "We should have done more to protect the public."

Since you didn't keep your word during last summer's billion-dollar eHealth boondoggle, why should any Ontarian believe you will keep your promise during this summer's biggest eco fee fiasco?

Hon. Dalton McGuinty: To the Minister of the Environment.

Hon. John Wilkinson: I want to start by saying, and I think we tried to establish this yesterday, that we believe it is important that we keep hazardous materials that are in our households from ever getting into our landfills. I am surprised that there would even be a question here about whether or not that is the right policy objective.

Now, how we do that is another issue, and I want to thank the Premier, because he decided that we needed to have a review. At our ministry, we are in the midst of that review, and I look forward to sharing with you in this House the results of that review. We know that consumers want to do the right thing, but what we have to do is make it easy for them. It needs to be accountable. It needs to be transparent. That's why our ministry is doing that review, and I look forward to sharing that with the House. But we are determined to keep hazardous materials out of our landfills so that they are not discovered by our children and our grandchildren one day.

The Speaker (Hon. Steve Peters): Supplementary?

Ms. Lisa MacLeod: Well, it seems that Dalton McGuinty found inspiration in Britney Spears: Oops, he's done it again. When Dalton McGuinty was caught handing out millions of dollars to Liberal-friendly cricket clubs, he said, "I think we can do better." It took an Ombudsman report that said that property assessments in Ontario were hurting Ontario families with significantly higher tax bills, and guess what he said? "We think we can do better." When the disgraceful conditions of nursing homes in this province were exposed in 2008, he said-guess what?-"We think we can do better."

The pattern of mea culpas with this Premier rivals his taxes and his spending. I've got a question for him: Does he really think Ontario families believe a leopard can change its spots?

Hon. John Wilkinson: This party was elected by the good people of Ontario because your party-
