|
|
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Wilson) delivered the following ruling:- |
|
I have had an opportunity to review Bill 107, An Act to promote workforce training, standing in the name of Mr. Marchese, in order to determine whether or not it is a money bill. In this regard, Standing Order 57 states as follows: "Any bill, resolution, motion or address, the passage of which would impose a tax or specifically direct the allocation of public funds, shall not be passed by the House unless recommended by a message from the Lieutenant Governor, and shall be proposed only by a minister of the Crown." Since the bill would bind the Crown to spend at least 1 percent of its payroll on training, or some combination of training and payment into the fund that would be established by the bill, I am of the opinion that the bill would specifically direct the allocation of public funds. I find therefore that the bill is out of order because it is a money bill contrary to Standing Order 57, and that it should be removed from the Orders and Notices Paper. This prevents the Member for Trinity–Spadina from moving Bill 107 as his ballot item this afternoon. However, notice having been waived on the Member for Trinity–Spadina's ballot item, I understand that he will instead move a resolution this afternoon. The Member has made copies of the resolution available at the Clerk's table. |
|
Mr. Marchese then moved, |
Ensuite, M. Marchese propose, |
|
|
That, in the opinion of this House, the Government should establish a Workforce Skills Development and Training Fund to promote and support workforce skills development and related measures and initiatives; and that the fund be administered by a committee composed of representatives of labour unions, employers and government; and that consideration be given to requiring that every employer with a payroll of $1 million or greater contribute at least 1 percent of the payroll amount to workforce training with any shortfall of that amount being directed to the fund. |
|
|
|
A debate arising and the time allotted for consideration of Private Members' Public Business having expired, the Acting Speaker (Mr. Wilson) proceeded to put all questions. |
