1:30 P.M.	13 H 30
The Speaker addressed the House as follows:- I beg to inform the House that I have today laid upon the Table the Special Report of the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario entitled "Broken Promises: MNR's Failure to Safeguard Environmental Rights" (Sessional Paper No. 68). I further beg to inform the House that I have today laid upon the Table the 2000-2001 Annual Report of the Ombudsman (Sessional Paper No. 67).
The Speaker delivered the following ruling:-

Yesterday, the Member for Niagara Centre (Mr. Kormos) raised a point of privilege concerning the Report of the Ombudsman on his Investigation into the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care's Funding for Breast and Prostate Cancer Patients who must travel for Radiation Treatment.

Prior to ruling on the Member's point, I would just like to address Standing Order 21(c), which requires written notice to the Speaker of intention to raise a point of privilege. Since the introduction of this provision in the Standing Orders in 1997, the practice has developed that the written notice given in advance to the Speaker must contain a reasonably full description of the point to be raised, and how the Member relates the issue at hand to his or her privileges.

The Speaker has in the past, for instance on November 18, 1999, declined to hear a point of privilege because the written notice did not contain details about the matter to be raised. Though I did permit the Member for Niagara Centre to make his point yesterday based on a somewhat vague written notice, I want to advise now that I will not in future be as lenient and will require compliance with the letter and spirit of the Standing Order, and adherence to the developed practice of meaningfully comprehensive written notice.

Turning now to the Member's point of privilege, the Member asserted that the statement by the Ombudsman in his recent report leads to, and I quote, "only one conclusion that we can draw as a result of this, and that is that there was an effort on the government's part to conceal and certainly to inhibit access by the Ombudsman to certain information", and that "the government's obstruction -- and in this instance I submit that it is obstruction; it's the only inference that can be drawn from the words of the Ombudsman -- of the Ombudsman's information request constitutes contempt of this Legislature."

I do not share the Member's view that the result of the application by the Attorney General of his statutory authority to decline to provide certain documents to the Ombudsman in the course of his investigation represents an obstruction of an Officer of the Assembly in the performance of his duties, or a contempt of this House.

I am not of the view that the Ombudsman's statement in his Report represents either an assertion that he was willfully obstructed in the performance of his duties, or an appeal to the House to somehow come to the aid of one of its Officers. The Ombudsman is quite clear in acknowledging the legitimacy and authority of the Attorney General to withhold documents. The Ombudsman laments that this "limited the scope of [his] investigation", but he does not assert that the occurrence was maliciously obstructive.

This is substantially different from the circumstances the Speaker faced when considering a point of privilege from the Member for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke (Mr. Conway) in May, 2000, concerning the Information and Privacy Commissioner's Report relating to the Province of Ontario Savings Office. In that instance an Officer of this House recounted a very specific opinion that an attempt had been made to frustrate her investigation. In ruling on this point on May 18, 2000, I had become convinced that, on the face of it, the case had indeed been made by Mr. Conway that the Commissioner was obstructed in the performance of her duties without valid or justifiable reason.

In the case at hand, I do not similarly see that lack of complete cooperation with an Officer of the House is alleged to have occurred without justification and explanation, or that it was malicious.

The Speaker cannot assign relative merit to the requests from the Ombudsman for certain documents versus the decision of the Attorney General to decline the requests. It is to be assumed the Ombudsman decided that access to the requested materials might assist him in his review of the matter. On the other side, it is likewise to be assumed that the Attorney General carefully considered the requests, but determined that it was not in the public interest for the materials to be released. The Ombudsman acknowledges the Attorney General's authority to do so. It is obviously not for the Speaker to assess the reasonableness of a statutorily supported decision by the Attorney General to decline to provide materials to the Ombudsman.

I find that a prima facie case of contempt has not been made out.
