Mr Wildman moved,	M. Wildman propose,
Second Reading of Bill 24, An Act to amend the Environmental Protection Act, the Ontario Water Resources Act and the Pesticides Act.	Deuxième lecture du projet de loi 24, Loi modifiant la Loi sur la protection de l'environnement, la Loi sur les ressources en eau de l'Ontario et la Loi sur les pesticides.
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 Stewart then moved,	Ensuite, M. Stewart propose,

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.

Pursuant to Standing Order 96(e), no objection having been made to the putting of the question on the motion for Second Reading of Bill 24, An Act to amend the Environmental Protection Act, the Ontario Water Resources Act and the Pesticides Act the question having been put, was declared carried and the Bill was accordingly read the second time and Ordered referred to the Standing Committee on Resources Development.

ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Debate was resumed on the Amendment to the motion that this House approves in general the Budgetary Policy of the Government.	Le débat reprend sur l'amendement à la motion portant que la présente Assemblée adopte les grands principes de la politique budgétaire du gouvernement.
After some time,	Après quelque temps,

Ms Lankin moved that the Amendment to the motion be amended by adding after the word "losers", the following:

"and

That the economic projections announced by the Minister of Finance reveal that the tax cut will not deliver the promised economic growth and will only serve to add to the accumulated debt of the province; and

That since the government plans to take another $22 billion out of the revenue base it must cut expenditures further in order to balance the budget; and

That more cuts will result in further erosion of Ontario's economic growth potential and a further decline in revenues; and

That the result of the budgetary policy tabled by the Minister of Finance is contradictory to the government's stated objectives of providing for economic growth and an increase of 725,000 jobs;

Therefore, this House no longer has confidence in the government."

The debate continued and, after some time,	Le débat se poursuit et après quelque temps,
Pursuant to Standing Order 9(a), the motion for the adjournment of the debate was deemed to have been made and carried.	Conformément à l'article 9(a) du Règlement, la motion d'ajournement du débat est réputée avoir été proposée et adoptée.

At 6:00 p.m., the question "That this House do now adjourn" was deemed to have been proposed pursuant to Standing Order 34(b).	À 18 heures, la motion portant «Que la présente Assemblée ajourne les débats maintenant» est réputée avoir été proposée conformément à l'article 34(b) du Règlement.
