ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Mr. Eves moved,

M. Eves propose,

Be it resolved that:

To recognize that Ontario's front line health care workers including nurses, doctors, public health officials, paramedics, lab technicians and scientists have made heroic efforts to combat SARS;

To recognize that Ontario has suffered tremendous economic consequences of the SARS outbreak;

To recognize that the Federal Government has not yet provided much needed financial assistance to front-line health-care workers who have worked so tirelessly to contain the outbreak and treat its victims;

The Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, on behalf of the people of Ontario:

Calls on the Federal Government to provide immediately financial assistance to cover exceptional health care costs borne by health care facilities in fighting SARS;

Calls on the Federal Government to commit immediately to on-going funding to improve measures to track infectious diseases, to provide a rapid response team for future outbreaks and to increase community awareness programs on infectious diseases; and

Calls on the Federal government to live up to its responsibilities, like the Ontario Government has, and provide without delay, financial assistance to those so keenly affected by SARS in Ontario.

After some time, Mr. Smitherman moved,

Après quelque temps, M. Smitherman propose,

That the motion be amended by striking out the last sentence and replacing it with:

"Call on all levels of government to live up to their responsibilities by doing more than just announcing funding, but actually sending the financial assistance promised, without delay, to those so keenly affected by SARS in Ontario."

The debate continued and, after some time, the amendment to the motion, having been put, was lost on the following division:-
