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.

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.

24. Mr Hastings - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Energy should undertake a plan to rebalance environmental protection through strict regulatory mechanisms with other realistic, affordable and workable alternatives; and

since other jurisdictions throughout the world have successfully adopted other complementary market oriented solutions for air and water pollution; and

since the current regulatory system is multifaceted, complex and highly cost inefficient for our economy, the preservation of jobs and our vital health care system; and

since environmental compliance requires new approaches to achieve the ultimate goals of water pollution, prevention and enhanced air quality through balanced regulation and market oriented solutions; and

since the smog problem in urban Ontario requires innovative solutions and in conjunction with the financial services sector, requires a workable system of emission reduction tradable credits combined with absolute liability for the principal players and a new environmental regime for air and water pollution prevention;

Therefore, the Government of Ontario, working in conjunction with the financial services sector, should investigate and subsequently adopt new clean air incentives and strategies to realize the above referenced goals. June 27, 1996.

30. Mr Hastings - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should undertake measures to improve customer service satisfaction at all levels of government agencies throughout the Ontario Public Service by adopting a Code of Customer Service Standards, thereby leading to a more effective customer service relationship between Ontarians and the Ontario Public Service. October 17, 1996.

36. Mr Hastings - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, since the Ministry of Education is currently reviewing proposals for secondary school reform in Ontario; and since the Ontario Curriculum Project is responsible for secondary school reform in Ontario;

the members of the Ontario Curriculum project should be encouraged to incorporate into its Core Curriculum, a complete program of the History of Canada, from its earliest colonial and explorer origins, up to the end of the twentieth century so that Ontario students have a comprehensive and clear understanding of their country and its institutions, past, present, and future, to enable them to play a pivotal role as informed citizens in determining the exciting future of Canada. January 22, 1997.

38. Mr Tilson - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Canada has failed to fulfil its responsibility under the Canada Health Act to the patients and taxpayers of Ontario by adequately funding health care; and since the Government of Ontario has:-

- added another $300 million to the health care budget, increasing it to $17.7 billion;

- managed to fully protect health care spending even as the Government of Canada has slashed health and social transfer payments to Ontario by $2.1 billion;

- pledged not to let annual health care spending fall below the $17.4 billion level it was when they took office;

therefore, this House calls upon the Government of Canada to fulfil its responsibilities under the Canada Health Act to the patients and taxpayers of Ontario by reversing its decision to remove $2.1 billion in health and social transfer payments. January 27, 1997.

JOUR DE L'OPPOSITION

3. Mr Colle - Whereas the Harris government is wiping out the existing municipalities of Toronto, the City of York, East York, North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke and replacing them with one enormous Megacity of 2.3 million people;

Whereas Mike Harris and his party platform made no mention of amalgamating the six municipalities composing Metropolitan Toronto prior to the 1995 provincial election and were not elected on that basis;

Whereas the Harris government has no mandate from the people to amalgamate Metropolitan Toronto into a Megacity;

Whereas, as recently as 1994, Mike Harris said, "There is no cost for a municipality to retain its name and identity. Why destroy our roots and pride? I disagree with restructuring because it believes that bigger is better. Services always cost more in larger communities";

Whereas the Harris government is forcing the people of Metropolitan Toronto into a Megacity to hide the $531 million in increased taxes for Metro residents that will be caused by the Harris government's dumping of provincial costs onto the municipalities of Ontario;

Whereas the ill-conceived plan to create this Megacity is based on a three-week KPMG study carried out behind closed doors and without consultation;

Whereas the KPMG study contradicts the recommendations of every other study carried out on Greater Toronto Area restructuring over the last 40 years;

Whereas even the author of the KPMG study admitted that "There has been no amalgamation of which I am aware in the current fiscal environment that would demonstrate the certainty of savings";

Whereas the Harris government has stated that it plans to drive the legislation creating the Megacity through the Legislature by April, without leaving adequate time for study or consultation;

Whereas the Harris government's plans to force the people of Metropolitan Toronto into a Megacity will cause property taxes to soar, will lead to more cuts in services and will make government even more remote from the people that it is supposed to serve;

Whereas studies have shown that, once a city grows to over 1 million people, economies of scale in municipal operations disappear and per capita costs for basic services go up;

Whereas Mike Harris and Al Leach have failed to provide the people of Ontario with any numbers to support their contention that amalgamation will lead to cost savings;

Whereas the Harris government's own study anticipates transition costs of $150 million to $220 million following amalgamation;

Whereas unprecedented grass-roots opposition to the Megacity plan has sprung up all over Metropolitan Toronto;

Whereas thousands of Metro residents have spontaneously and vocally expressed their opposition to the Megacity plan;

Whereas the public hearings on Bill 103 conducted by the Harris government have failed to reveal any widespread public support for this legislation and instead have revealed deep and consistent concern about this plan among citizens of all political stripes and affiliations;

Whereas the Harris government has refused to conduct its own referendum on the issue of amalgamation;

Whereas the Mike Harris government has stated that it plans to proceed with its plan to force the citizens of Metro Toronto into a Megacity regardless of their wishes;

Whereas the Harris government is consistently ignoring the voice of the people of Metropolitan Toronto by continuing to plow ahead with its Megacity plan, and is acting undemocratically by forcing this massive change down the throats of the citizens of Metropolitan Toronto without proper consultation or a mandate from the people;

Therefore this House calls upon the provincial government to reverse its decision to amalgamate Metropolitan Toronto into a Megacity, to withdraw Bill 103 and to proceed to consult with the people and governments of Metropolitan Toronto, to develop a plan to restructure the Greater Toronto Area for better co-ordination of services and strengthened local government and to make this a better place for all citizens to live. Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. To be debated March 4, 1997.
