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.
22. Mrs Ecker - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the income tax system unfairly favours political over charitable donations of $200 or less; and
since charitable organizations and the work of volunteers are a vital part of Ontario's communities that serve the needs of many individuals and enrich the quality of life we enjoy in Ontario; and
since promoting the spirit of volunteerism and the work of charitable community organizations is a high priority for the Government of Ontario; and
since the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy has submitted to the federal government that there should be an increase in credits for charitable donations; and
since studies indicate that increasing the tax credit can increase the amount donated by those who file for credits; and
since tax credits for charitable donations are the responsibility of the Government of Canada;
Therefore the Government of Ontario should pursue discussions with the Government of Canada to explore the feasibility of increasing charitable credits on contributions of $200 or less so that they are equivalent to credits for political donations. June 4, 1996.

JOUR DE L'OPPOSITION |
2. Debated June 4, 1996.
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 today.
