Huron Bruce MPP Lisa
Thompson has been cir-
culating e-mails with an
attached letter to bring
the initiative of the Pro-
vincial government
regarding the Ontario
Retirement Pension Plan
(ORPP) to the attention of
business owners. The Lib-
eral government intends
to implement their initia-
tive by January, 2017.
The e-mail trail that has
reached the Lucknow Sen-
tinel began with the
municipal office for
Huron -Kinloss, with
Thompson requesting that
it be passed on to all
members of the Chamber,
business partners,
road. Officers were able to locate the sus-
pect vehicle, a Dodge Ram pickup on Blyth
Road near Loyal Line. Officers followed the
pickup as it travelled in an erratic manner
northbound on Loyal Line.
A traffic stop was completed and upon
speaking with the male driver it was noted
the driver had been consuming alcohol
and was displaying physical signs that he
was impaired by alcohol. He was placed
under arrest for Impaired Operation of
a Motor Vehicle and was transported
to the Huron Detachment for breath
tests. He later provided two samples of
his breath and both registered over the
legal limit. Further investigation revealed
the driver was bound by a driver's licence
condition to have an ignition interlock
device installed in his vehicle. The pickup
truck was not equipped with an ignition
interlock device. A search of the pickup
truck also revealed two open containers
of alcohol in the vehicle.
As a result, 25 year old Johnathan
CALDWELL from Goderich has been
charged with Impaired Operation of a
Motor Vehicle, Drive Motor Vehicle - Over
80 Milligrams of Alcohol, Owner Operate

tor Vehicle - Not Equipped with Ignition

affiliates and anyone else
who may be directly or
indirectly impacted by the
mandatory ORPP. Feed-
back is requested by

MPP Lisa Thompson's Let-
ter to Business Owners
regarding pension
Dear Huron -Bruce Busi-
ness Owner:
I wanted to make you
aware of a plan the Liberal
government has
announced which would
implement a mandatory
Ontario Retirement Pen-
sion Plan (ORPP) by Janu-
ary 2017 in workplaces that
pension and his motor vehicle was im-

MALE FACING 7 DAY SUSPENSION
& DRIVE UNDER SUSPENSION
CHARGE
(GODERICH, ON) - Huron County Ontario
Provincial Police (OPP) has charged a 74
year old from Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh
after he was refused service at the LCBO in
Goderich. Just before 5:45 p.m. on March
19, 2015 Huron OPP officers received a call
about a male that had just been refused
alcohol sales service at the LCBO located
on Huron Road. The male was offered a taxi
however he declined and left the store driv-
ing away in his Mazda.
Officers were able to locate and stop the
suspect vehicle on Airport Road just north
of Goderich. Upon speaking with the male
driver it was determined that he had been
drinking alcohol. A roadside breath demand
was issued and the driver registered a warn
range reading. Upon checking the driver's
licence status the officer determined the
driver was currently suspended. The driver's
licence check also revealed the driver had a
previous warn range suspension on file.
As a result, a 74 year old male from
Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh has been
charged with Drive Motor Vehicle While
Under Suspension and he was also served
with a seven day driver's licence suspen-
sion. He will have to attend Provincial Of-
fences Act Court in Goderich on April 21,
2015 to answer to his charge.
do not have an existing
pension plan
If this proceeds, both
employers and employees
would be obligated to con-
tribute 1.9% on earnings
to a government -managed
savings plan. The Ontario
Chamber of Commerce
(OCC), Canadian Federa-
tion of Independent Busi-
ness (CFIB), and the
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) have all
raised concerns about the
additional burden this
would place on their busi-
ness and employees.
A consultation paper was
released by the government
in December and feedback
is being sought online at
ORPPQontario.ca
I would encourage you
to review the consultation
paper and share your
feedback with the
Minister.
I would also be interested
in getting your comments as
I will continue to participate
in the Legislative debate on
the ORPP in the coming
months, and would appreci-
ate hearing the perspective
of Huron -Bruce job creators.
Please contact me if you
have any questions to Lisa.
