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.

46. Mr Brown (Scarborough West) - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should assure the people of Scarborough, who wish to keep their community identity within a unified Toronto and retain the same basic boundaries to that community, that the community council for Scarborough will be established with its membership comprised of 10 city councillors from the Scarborough Council which will guarantee local representation and local democracy and recognize that the special needs of Scarborough, as a distinct community, are maintained and addressed within a unified Toronto as proposed by Bill 103, City of Toronto Act, 1996. March 5, 1997.

47. M. Lalonde - Proposition - Que de l'avis de la Chambre, étant donné que le ministre de la Santé a annoncé qu'il y aura bientôt de nouvelles politiques régissant la restructuration des hôpitaux ruraux;

étant donné que le ministre de la Santé a interrompu les travaux de la Commission de restructuration des services de santé en ce qui a trait aux services de santé dans les régions rurales jusqu'à ce que ces nouvelles politiques soient énoncées;

étant donné que la Commission a omis de reconnaître le caractère communautaire et rural de l'hôpital Montfort dans son rapport;

étant donné que l'hôpital Montfort est un hôpital communautaire, situé dans un milieu urbain, dont 50% de la clientèle provient des régions rurales à proximité de l'hôpital, y compris les régions de Cumberland, Prescott, Russell, Glengarry, Stormont et Dundas;

étant donné que le comté de Russell est une région rurale en pleine expansion comptant plus de 80 000 personnes et dont la majorité de la population est francophone;

étant donné que le comté de Russell est le seul comté de la province qui n'a pas d'hôpital dans ses limites territoriales et que la population de ce comté est desservie par l'hôpital Montfort;

le gouvernement devrait exiger que la Commission considère l'hôpital Montfort comme un hôpital rural; et

le ministre de la Santé devrait ordonner que toute recommandation de la Commission relativement à l'hôpital Montfort soit suspendue jusqu'à ce qu'il énonce les nouvelles politiques concernant les hôpitaux ruraux. 6 mars 1997.

54. Mr Hastings - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should, in its review of children's services, consider introducing stricter sentences to all persons convicted in the death of a child, as a result of abuse or neglect. May 13, 1997.

57. Mr Hastings - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should in its efforts to protect and preserve the present black bear population, introduce a complete ban on the hunting, trapping, killing of cubs or female black bears during the spring season before the black bear becomes extinct. June 2, 1997.

61. Mr McGuinty - Resolution - That, pursuant to Standing Order 44(a), the House consider Sessional Paper 525, tabled June 25, 1997, the Report of the Honourable Gregory T. Evans, Integrity Commissioner, entitled The Honourable Allan Leach - Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing with Respect to the Health Services Restructuring Commission. June 25, 1997.

62. Mr Silipo - Resolution - Withdrawn August 25, 1997.

63. Mr Hastings - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should encourage all the key players in the Ontario golf community to develop a comprehensive and creative high value tourism stategy through the instalment of a central computerized reservation system, co-ordinated meeting and marketing strategies, thus making Ontario a more attractive golf destination. July 3, 1997.

65. Mr Ford - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario should ensure that the Government of Ontario send to Ontario Health Insurance Plan account holders a statement summarizing the monthly activity in their respective account each month there is account activity, and the statements indicate the expense of the provided health care service, the amount covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, and the name of the health care worker who provided the service.
