Mrs Caplan moved,

Mme Caplan propose,

Second Reading of Bill 41, An Act to protect the Rights of Persons receiving Health Services in Ontario.

Deuxième lecture du projet de loi 41, Loi visant à protéger les droits des personnes qui reçoivent des services de santé en Ontario.

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 Silipo then moved,

Ensuite, M. Silipo propose,

That in the opinion of this House, since there is a significant and growing sense of cynicism and alienation toward the political process of Ontario and it is to the benefit of all to restore the relevance of government in people's lives; and

since the present system does little to address the growing cynicism among the electorate towards the political process; and

since the fairest and most democratic system of election is one which results in the composition of the Legislature reflecting as closely as possible the preferences of the electorate; and

since the present "first past the post" system of electing members to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario does not mirror the voters' preferences adequately, usually resulting in majority governments being formed by a party receiving a minority of voter support; and

since the present legislative system grants little constructive role to the opposition parties although they usually represent a majority of voters' preferences; and

since the Mike Harris government is committed to introducing legislation to change the electoral system by reducing the number of MPPs in the Legislative Assembly and this will provide an opportunity to review the entire electoral system to make it more democratic;

therefore, as one major part of reforming the electoral system of Ontario,

a) members of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario should be elected by a system of proportional representation which would better reflect the wishes of the voters and promote better representation of women and the diversity of Ontario in the Legislature; and

b) this system should be applied on a regional basis to maintain the appropriate balances between urban and rural Ontario; and

c) the Legislative Assembly Committee should examine the various possible models of proportional representation which could be applied to Ontario; and

d) the Legislative Assembly Committee should report back to the Legislative Assembly with one or more models of proportional representation for Ontario which could be incorporated by the government into the legislative changes required to reform the electoral system.
