Ms Churley moved,

M^me Churley propose,

That in the opinion of this House, since cancer is one of the leading causes of premature death in Ontario, claiming more than 20,000 lives annually, and since Ontario currently spends in excess of one billion dollars a year on cancer treatment, and since the previous New Democratic Party Government recognized this dire threat and commissioned a task force to advise on ways to effectively stem the rising incidence of this disease, and since the Ontario Task Force on the Primary Prevention of Cancer tabled its report in March 1995, advising the government on an action-based plan for the primary prevention of cancer and the present Conservative government has yet to respond; therefore in order to protect human health, prevent cancer and benefit natural ecosystems; this House calls upon the Government of Ontario to (a) immediately appoint a working Committee consisting of environmental, health, labour, industry, women's, aboriginal and other interested groups; and (b) work with the Committee to establish realistic and measurable timetables for sunsetting persistent, bio-accumulative toxic chemicals that are known or suspected carcinogens as outlined in the report of the Task Force.

A debate arising, at 11:00 a.m., further proceedings were reserved until 12:00 noon.	À 11 heures, la suite du débat est réservé jusqu'à midi.
Mr Tilson then moved,	Ensuite, M. Tilson propose,

That in the opinion of this House, since the Federal Liberal Government introduced Section 745 to the Criminal Code in 1976; and

since a person convicted of first degree murder is not eligible to apply for parole for 25 years at the time of sentencing; and

since Section 745 says that where an offender has a parole ineligibility period of more than 15 years and the offender has served at least 15 years, or only 60% of their sentence, the offender can apply to the court for a reduction of the parole ineligibility period; and

since CAVEAT, Victims of Violence, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, the Canadian Police Association, and the Police Association of Ontario have all called on the Federal Government to immediately repeal Section 745 from the Criminal Code; and

since holding hearings under Section 745 uses precious resources which could be redirected elsewhere to prosecute serious crime; and

since the Federal Government has failed to pass a Private Member's Bill that Liberal backbench Member, John Nunziata of Ontario tabled in the Federal House of Commons in 1991, 1994 and 1995, that calls for the repeal of Section 745; and

since Federal Justice Minister Allan Rock has failed to state definitively that the Federal Government will repeal Section 745 to keep convicted murderers off the streets of our communities;

therefore the Government of Ontario should urge the Government of Canada to repeal Section 745 to ensure that convicted murderers serve their entire sentences and to protect victims, their families and the community.

Pursuant to Standing Order 96(e), no objection having been made to the putting of the question on Ms Churley's Resolution Number 13, the question having been put, was carried on the following division:-
