6. Budget Motion. Debated May 7, 8, 9, 13, 1996.
7. Mr Harnick - Resolution - Whereas it is acknowledged that numerous incidents of physical and sexual abuse took place during the 1940's through 1970's at the St. John's Training School in Uxbridge and the St. Joseph's Training School in Alfred which were operated by the Christian Brothers of Toronto and Ottawa and funded by the Government of Ontario;
And Whereas it is acknowledged that the abuse suffered by the students at these schools has caused life long physical and emotional pain, distress and trauma to the men themselves and to their families and community and that such abuse of children is deplorable and intolerable;
And Whereas the victims bear no responsibility for the abuse they suffered;
And Whereas child abuse is a serious social and community problem that must be addressed;
And Whereas the Government supported by the Christian Brothers of Ottawa and the Catholic Archdioceses of Ottawa and Toronto entered into agreements of reconciliation in 1992 and 1994 with the victims to overcome the aftermath of abuse experienced at the schools;
Therefore this House, on behalf of the people of Ontario, apologizes and expresses sincere regret for the harm caused to those in the care of St. Joseph's and St. John's Training Schools. June 10, 1996.
8. Motion to extend hours of meeting in the House in June. Debated June 12, 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.
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.
23. Mr Hudak - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, since government intervention in the economy via regulation has become an increasingly popular policy option; and
since the regulatory burden has increased substantially in the Province of Ontario in the last ten years as a result; and
since the direct costs to government of regulation including monitoring and enforcing regulations are only a small portion of the total regulatory burden; and
since the bulk of the regulatory burden is borne by the private sector and consumers in the form of compliance costs; and
since increased costs of doing business result in higher prices, fewer products or services on the market and a consequent reduction in employment; and
since a reduction in the overall costs of regulation is a goal of the Red Tape Review Commission and the Government of Ontario;
Therefore, the Government of Ontario should design a regulatory envelope such that the total regulatory burden imposed upon private and public sector actors in Ontario will not increase and, should in fact, decrease in a fiscal year. June 11, 1996.
