6. Mr Eves - Resolution - That this House approves in general the Budgetary Policy of the Government. May 2, 1996.

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.

6. Mr Wood (Cochrane North) - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should recognize the uniqueness of northern Ontario, and in that recognition restore the funding cuts made to programs and services in the north so that the citizens of the north are provided with equitable services and programs similar to those provided to other areas of the province. November 21, 1995.

15. Debated May 2, 1996.

16. Debated May 2, 1996.

17. Mr Stewart - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, since the expression of spirituality in public schools is currently limited only to the reading of prayers and other spiritual texts, and that the multi-faith character of Canadian society has never implied that particular expressions of, as well as education about, diverse spiritual traditions are to be suppressed, but openly celebrated and respected by students and all Canadians as part of the intrinsic fabric of our country, and

since spiritual expression and reflection is an important part of the overall development of values and the communication of the varied role of spirituality in our lives, and that open spiritual expression is practiced within the publicly-funded separate school system,

therefore, the Ministry of Education and Training should recognize the important role of spirituality and spiritual expression among students of multi-faith traditions in Ontario's public school system by allowing local Public Boards across Ontario the right to determine for themselves how such spiritual expressions should be included in the daily activities of their schools. April 23, 1996.

18. Mrs Boyd - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, since persons with disabilities in Ontario face systemic barriers in access to employment, services, goods, facilities and accommodation; and

since all Ontarians will benefit from the removal of these barriers, thereby enabling these persons to enjoy equal opportunity and full participation in the life of the province;

therefore, the Government of Ontario should keep its promise as set out in the letter from Michael D. Harris to the Ontarians with Disabilities Act Committee dated May 24, 1995 to:

a) enact an Ontarians with Disabilities Act within its current term of office; and

b) work together with members of the Ontarians with Disabilities Act Committee, amongst others, in the development of such legislation. April 30, 1996.

19. Mr Curling - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, since the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has caused considerable confusion by publicly telling landlords and builders that he will introduce legislation that will end rent control, but on the other hand, tells tenants they will be protected without any explanation; and

since this government has cancelled over 390 non-profit housing projects that would have provided needed and decent shelter to lower income Ontarians, but has made known no plan to make up for this short-fall in affordable accommodation; and

since the Minister intends to drastically change six pieces of housing legislation, including rent control, that will wipe out tenant protection in Ontario; and

since rent control legislation was first introduced in 1975 and improved on by subsequent governments over the past 20 years; and

since this government continues to attack the most vulnerable in our society;

therefore, the Government of Ontario should stop its plans to gut rent control, and work with tenants to ensure that tenant protection and rent control be maintained in the province of Ontario. April 30, 1996.
