13.	Mr. Tilson - Resolution - That, in the opinion of this House, Whereas the Federal government has abrogated its responsibility to the people of Canada by making changes to the Canada Transportation Act that make it easier for CP and CN to abandon a rail line without considering whether this is in the "public interest", and Whereas CP has begun the formal process to abandon the rail line that runs from Streetsville north to Orangeville, and
	Whereas the Provincial government has attempted to counter this abrogation of responsibility of the Federal government by passing the Shortline Railways Act and Labour Relations and Employment Statute Law Amendment Act, 1995 thereby removing many of the barriers and allowing private operators to purchase these short lines at a profit,
	Therefore, The provincial government should work with the Federal Government and the municipal governments of Dufferin County and the Region of Peel, along with the manufacturers association to form a partnership that would negotiate the purchase and ongoing operation of the rail line located between Streetsville and Orangeville, since this partnership would ensure the fair distribution of the rail line asset that would ensure the future viability of our community, as well as ensuring that Dufferin County and the Region of Peel would have an asset that could be used to encourage future manufacturers to locate in our community.

Mr. Brown (Scarborough West) Resolution - That, in the opinion of this House, since police chases are dangerous, and, since the penalties for offenders are negligible and do not discourage offenders from taking flight, offenders convicted of fleeing the police in or on a motorized vehicle should be subject to a minimum six months closed custody incarceration for the first offence, to two years less a day for each subsequent offence, plus a $10, 000 fine and a five-year license suspension. October 27, 1998.
31.	Mr. Brown (Scarborough West) Resolution - That, in the opinion of this House, since convicted offenders have relatively light sentences, and, since the vulnerable and seniors are particularly threatened, and, since other jurisdictions treat offenders against seniors more strictly, with tougher sentences, and, since the courts, who are independent, nevertheless impose relatively light sentences, the Attorney General should set sentencing guidelines for Crown Prosecutors to request that they incorporate tougher sentencing for all crimes and extra time for perpetrators of crimes against seniors. October 27, 1998.
32.	Mr. Brown (Scarborough West) Resolution - That, in the opinion of this House, since the federal government has reduced health transfer payments by $2 billion annually, and, since the Province of Ontario has paid for the federal government's attack on health care, and, since the Province of Ontario is spending more than any other provincial government, a Patient's Bill of Rights should be ensconced and a Patient's Health Ombudsman should be established. October 27, 1998.
34.	Mr. Leadston - Resolution - That, in the opinion of this House, since the citizens of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo and surrounding areas deserve equal access to quality health services and are entitled to a clear vision of how their needs will be met, therefore: 1. The Government of Ontario must undertake a comprehensive feasibility study for a regional medical centre to act as the hub for an integrated health delivery system; and 2. The study should commence immediately and be completed in a cost effective and timely manner by a private consultant and
	3. Any major renovations to existing aging facilities should be considered only after the government has accepted the completed report. November 24, 1998.
35.	Mr. Lessard - Resolution - That, in the opinion of this House, Since the water resources of the Great Lakes Basin are precious public natural resources, shared and held in trust by the Canadian Provinces and the Great Lakes States; And since the Great Lakes need to be carefully managed and protected in order to meet current and future water needs within the Great Lakes Basin and the Canadian Provinces;
	And since any new diversions of Great Lakes waters for use outside of the Great Lakes Basin will have significant adverse effects on the environment, economy, and welfare of the Great Lakes region; And since four of the Great Lakes contain international water, and are defined as "boundary waters" in the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 between Canada and the United States; And since any new diversion of Great Lakes water would affect the relations between the Government of Canada and the United States Government; And since, as trustees of the Great Lakes Basin's natural resources, the Canadian Provinces and the Great Lakes States have a shared duty to protect, conserve, and manage the renewable but finite waters of the Great Lakes Basin for the use, benefit, and enjoyment of all their citizens, and future generations; and
	Since the most effective means of protecting, conserving, and managing the water resources of the Great Lakes is through the joint pursuit of unified and co-operative principles, policies, and programs mutually agreed upon, enacted, and adhered to by each and every Great Lakes Province and State.
	Therefore, the Government of Ontario should urge the Government of Canada to immediately introduce legislation to ban the sale or diversion of fresh water from Canada until procedures are established to guarantee that any such sale or diversion is fully negotiated and approved by representatives of the Government of Canada and the United States Government, in consultation with any Great Lakes State or Province that could be impacted by such a sale or diversion and a full and comprehensive Environmental Assessment and public consultation can be conducted. December 3, 1998.
	Mr. Kennedy - Resolution - That, in the opinion of this house, since individuals, organisations, and corporations who provide health care have an unique role in shaping both the public's understanding of, and policy within, the health care system; and Since in an era of rapid change it is crucial there be sufficient information to ensure the public is protected at all time; and Since these health care providers are presently restricted by a variety of direct and indirect strictures and pressures from publicly raising issues in Ontario's interest that are discerned in the course of their duties; and Since the resulting lack of openness in the health care system results in mistakes that could be readily prevented; Therefore, the government should take immediate legislative action to guarantee these care providers who in good faith apprehend the safety, well-being or dignity of present or future patients is or will be compromised and be allowed to speak responsibly within the public forum - without any reprisal to health care employees by their employer or to health care employers by the government. December 14, 1998.
37.	Mr. Conway - Resolution - Whereas the Harris government has established criteria under its Education Funding Formula that gives additional funding to some Ontario school boards in rural and remote areas of the province in order to assist them with the higher costs such boards experience in providing services to their students; and Whereas Renfrew County, at 8,000 square kilometres, is the largest county in Ontario and one of the most rural - running 200 kilometres northeasterly from Arnprior to Deux-Rivieres, and nearly 140 kilometres southwesterly from La Passe to Combermere; and
	Whereas the arbitrary and inflexible nature of the current funding formula denies any rural and remote funding assistance to the Renfrew County public school board; and Whereas other more urban public school boards in Kingston, Lindsay, Belleville and North Bay qualify for millions of dollars of rural and remote assistance; and Whereas students of the Renfrew County public school board are entitled to the same educational opportunities as students in other parts of Ontario, Be it resolved that the Harris government immediately amend its Education Funding Formula to provide the Renfrew County public school board with rural and remote grant assistance such as that provided to public school boards like the Near North public school board in the North Bay/Parry Sound area. December 14, 1998.
38.	Mr. Lessard - Resolution - That, in the opinion of this House, Since waiting for an organ transplant is one of the most stressful situations imaginable for patients and their families; and Since a majority of persons support organ and tissue donation; and Since a large percentage of organs that could be available for transplantation are lost because of difficulties in obtaining consent;
	Therefore, the Government of Ontario should implement comprehensive measures to increase the number of suitable organs available, improve access to organ transplants and reduce waiting times for persons needing these life saving procedures, and to ensure that opportunities to receive organ donations are not missed. December 15, 1998.
39.	Mr. Barrett - Resolution - That, in the opinion of this House, Whereas, many tobacco farmers, business owners, municipal councils, and residents of my area are opposed to the mandatory posting of "no smoking" signs in businesses whose primary operation is the sale of tobacco-related products and machinery, And whereas, local municipal councils have passed resolutions stating that "within the tobacco producing counties of Brant, Elgin, Oxford, and the riding of Haldimand-Norfolk-Brant, policing of the regulated "no smoking" protocol be left up to municipalities to enforce as they see fit and the privately owned businesses who produce or process tobacco and/or whose businesses service or supply the tobacco industry, and reside within the designated regions be exempt form posting the regulated "no smoking" sign", And whereas, restaurants and coffee shops provide separate ventilated smoking areas and business owners want to make their own decisions regarding the nature of their establishment, And whereas, Canada, like many jurisdictions, has measures in place to restrict smoking including high tobacco taxes, public education about the dangers of smoking, and the prevention of nuisance to non-smokers,
	And whereas, smoking is an informed personal decision, and most issues are better left up to the decision making skills of individuals, families, and the market place, And whereas, legislators have a duty to protect society, not meddle in people's social and economic lives, And whereas, thousands of farmers, businesspeople, and residents have called for amendments to the Tobacco Control Act, Therefore, the Government of Ontario should continue with its current policy on tobacco which encourages prevention, wellness, and discourages young people from smoking, and that the Government of Ontario should amend the Tobacco Control Act to uphold the rights and freedoms of Ontarians by ensuring that tobacco producing areas and private businesses have the discretion to devise local tobacco strategies. December 16, 1998.
