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.
20. Mr Cooke - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should introduce a Bill of Rights for Ontario Children; which, in keeping with the spirit of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child to which Canada is a signatory; the spirit of Yours, Mine and Ours: Ontario's Children and Youth 1994 Report of the Premier's Council on Health, Well-being and Social Justice; and the spirit of Mike Harris's Common Sense Revolution which promises community nutrition programs, a learning and earning and parenting program, homework assistance programs, and child support enforcement, and that such a Bill of Rights for Ontario Children should include the following principles:
1) that every child has the right to a standard of living adequate for his or her physical, mental, spiritual, moral and social development;
2) that every child has the right to benefit from social security, including adequate social assistance where financial need exists;
3) that every child has the right to benefit from accessible, high-quality child care services and facilities;
4) that every child has the right to be protected from exploitation and abuse, whether physical, sexual, mental or emotional;
5) that every disabled child has the right to enjoy a full and decent life, in conditions which ensure dignity, promote self-reliance, and facilitate the child's active participation in the community;
6) that every child has the right to the highest attainable standard of health and access to health care services, including the provision of adequate, nutritious food and clean drinking water;
7) that every child has the right to participate fully in cultural and artistic life with equal opportunities for cultural, artistic, recreational and leisure activities; and
8) that every child accused of an offence has the right to be treated in a manner consistent with promoting the child's sense of dignity and worth, reinforcing the child's respect for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of others, and taking into account the child's age, reintegration and assuming a constructive role in society. May 16, 1996.
21. Mr Hampton - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, since workers fund pension plans but have little or no say in how these funds are administered, directed and invested; and
since pension funds account for about $360 billion in Canada; and
since workers need to have a say in how their pension plans are run and how funds are invested to benefit their future;
Therefore the Government of Ontario should immediately bring forward legislation amending the Pension Benefits Act that provides that, wherever a pension plan exists in a workplace, that at least one half of the members of any committee or board responsible for the plan and fund administration and investment be representatives of members of the pension plan. June 3, 1996.

OPPOSITION DAY |
JOUR DE L'OPPOSITION |
2. Mrs McLeod - Whereas the actions taken by Mike Harris and his government have reduced the excellence and accessibility of our education system; and
Whereas Mike Harris promised in the Common Sense Revolution that any funding cuts to education would not come from the classroom; and
Whereas Mike Harris and his government have in fact affected classroom funding with an initial cut of $400 million, which annualized will equal $800 million, and which has resulted in the elimination of the classroom for many young Ontarians and adult students; and
Whereas Mike Harris and his government have acknowledged that the current drop-out rate will cost the country $23 billion in lost productivity, $9.9 billion in lost taxes and $1.4 billion in welfare and unemployment benefits; and
Whereas many adult learners are high school drop-outs who realize the need to complete their high school education; and
Whereas Mike Harris' actions through Bill 34 will make adult education unaffordable for many; and
Whereas Mike Harris has closed the doors of education and opportunities for these individuals by a reduction of funding for adult education with the intended passage of Bill 34; and
Whereas the government's own studies have shown that junior kindergarten has a positive impact on children; and
Whereas the Royal Commission on Learning recommended that schooling begin at age three to maximize the benefit of early childhood education for each child; and
Whereas Mike Harris also promised to present a tool kit to the education sector to help them reduce their costs and failed to provide an adequate set of tools; and
Whereas, for many Ontarians the cost of the tax cut promised by Mike Harris will be a poorer education system;
Therefore this House calls on the Mike Harris government to fulfil its promise not to affect classroom spending; to refocus its priorities on the quality of our education system rather than simply cutting and slashing programs; and to promise no further cuts to the education system. Minister of Education. To be debated today.
3. Mr Wildman - Whereas the NDP Government's Rent Control Act protects tenants from high rent increases; and
Whereas the 1992 Rent Control Act was the result of extensive consultation with tenants, landlords and other groups; and
Whereas tenants deserve rents that are predictable and fair; and
Whereas gutting rent control will do nothing to stimulate new private sector housing construction or solve maintenance problems; and
Whereas the Mike Harris Conservative Government has cancelled more than 15,000 units of co-op and non-profit housing and has embarked on a plan to privatize public housing; and
Whereas the Mike Harris Conservative Government now wants to gut rent control; and
Whereas the previous Conservative and Liberal governments failed to protect tenants from high rent increases;
Therefore this House calls on the Conservative Government to keep the existing system of rent control, which protects tenants from high rent increases through a cap on rents, and ensures that landlords whose buildings are not properly maintained cannot increase rents; and to ensure that tenants still have security of tenure and access to the courts under the Landlord and Tenant Act. Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. To be debated June 5, 1996.
