On Nov. 29, Halton Regional Police arrested a man with out incident near his home in Mississauga. Rami Bawwab, 19, of Robert Speck Parkway, is charged with robbery and breach of probation. The police investigation continues. GOOD NEWS. GOOD BUSINESS GOOD GOVERNMENT. PREMIER ERNIE EVES AND GARY CARR: RAISING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. GIVING SMALL BUSINESS MORE CHOICE. Three ways Ernie Eves and his government are protecting investors and helping small business: 1. Protecting investors by raising standards for licensed public accountants. Ronald Daniels, Dean o f the University of Toronto's Faculty o f Law, has been appointed to review public accounting standards. CGA Ontario is committed to working with Dean Daniels to develop higher standards. The goal? Prevent a repeat o f Ontario's own accounting scandals --which have cost investors hundreds o f millions of dollars. 2. Putting the public interest first, by putting in place a tough new regulator. The government is moving ahead to create a new board to oversee licensed public accountants in Ontario. It won't be dominated by one group of accountants. It will be mandated to put the public interest ahead o f the interests of the accounting profession. 3. More choice for small and medium sized businesses, charities and other organizations. Ontarians deserve the right to choose who handles their licensed public accounting, when that need arises. The government will let them make that choice. After all, almost every other province in Canada allows choice --including Ontario's toughest trading partners. And Certified General Accountants have the training and qualifications to do the job. Two independent reports have called for this overhaul o f public accounting. Ernie Eves and his government listened. Now they're acting. It's good news for Ontario.
