PRIVATE MEMBERS' NOTICES OF MOTION |
AVIS DE MOTIONS DES DÉPUTÉS |
2. Mr Tilson - Resolution - Whereas the Liberal Government of Canada has passed Bill C-68, an Act Respecting Firearms and Other Weapons,
and whereas Ontario welcomes real gun control, and supports those portions of Bill C-68 which provide tougher penalties for the criminal use of firearms, new offenses related to firearm smuggling and trafficking, and a ban on para-military weapons,
and whereas existing laws requiring the registration of handguns have done little to reduce the number of crimes committed with hand guns or lower the volume of handguns smuggled into Canada,
And whereas the national gun registration provisions of Bill C-68 will result in a massive misallocation of the limited resources available to law enforcement agencies, with no practical effect on the traffic in illegal firearms, or the use of guns by violent criminals,
And whereas the gun registration provisions of Bill C-68 will take police officers off the street and involve them in bureaucracy rather than fighting crime, and will make the task of real gun control more difficult and dangerous for police officers,
Now be it resolved that the Province of Ontario urge the House of Commons of the Government of Canada to sever from Bill C-68 those provisions for a compulsory registration of all firearms and implement the rest of the bill forthwith, and further, that the House of Commons introduce legislation aimed at real gun control that will include the creation of a national firearm enforcement unit, improve the enforcement of anti-smuggling measures by custom officials at border crossing points, enhance access to the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) computers for Customs officials, and electronically link Canadian police services with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in the United States. October 25, 1995.
4. Mrs Munro - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should amend the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 1987 and the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 1987 to prevent vexatious, frivolous, abusive, time consuming or costly requests that are clearly of a repetitious, systematic or malicious nature, without denying or restricting access if there is a legitimate reason for the request. November 1, 1995.

OPPOSITION DAY |
JOUR DE L'OPPOSITION |
Mr Rae - Whereas the Common Sense Revolution commits the Mike Harris government to creating 725,000 new jobs; and
Whereas the Common Sense Revolution states that "Ontario needs jobs today, and jobs tomorrow"; and
Whereas the Mike Harris government has cut public investments and programs eliminating tens of thousands of jobs in Ontario; and
Whereas unemployment currently stands at 8.5% in Ontario and the current instability in employment in Ontario is of concern to all members of this House; and
Whereas the Mike Harris government has condemned children and their parents relying on social assistance to a less than survival existence; and
Whereas the Mike Harris government has told families who rely on welfare "to work and to get jobs to supplement their income"; and
Whereas the Mike Harris government has done nothing to promote job creation in Ontario; and
Whereas the Mike Harris government has ended an era where partnerships between business, labour and government promoted economic development; and
Whereas the Mike Harris government is following a fiscal plan aimed at further cuts, increasing economic drag and a tax hand-out to the wealthy; and
Whereas the Mike Harris government's fiscal plan will do nothing to create jobs today or tomorrow;
Therefore, this House calls on the Mike Harris government to take the unemployment situation in this province seriously by restoring job creation programs and job support programs and to follow a balanced and responsible approach to economic development and deficit reduction, rather than pursue a policy of irresponsible cuts to program funding and economic investment in order to pay for tax breaks for the rich. Premier of Ontario. To be debated November 21, 1995.
