Not Dalton McGuinty.
The Liberals are quickly passing a slew of government bills over the next few days before the house rises and doesn't return until after the October election.**********
But left to die quietly are 107 private member's bills ranging from declaring the "apple capital of Ontario" to a bill requiring people to fill out organ donation cards before renewing their driver's licences.
Conservative Frank Klees said it's "unconscionable" his organ donation bill will likely die because the Liberals aren't interested in any ideas other than their own.
"This government can't get past petty, partisan politics, and it is hurting the public," he said.
