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.
5. Mr Bisson - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should maintain a fair and equitable rent control program, similar to the present rent control system introduced by the previous New Democratic Party government which protected tenants from abusive landlords, rather than creating a market based system that allows abusive landlords to gouge tenants, and leave tenants vulnerable to unfair rent increases. November 20, 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.

JOUR DE L'OPPOSITION |
4. Ms Castrilli - Whereas the Conservative policy document "New Directions II, A Blueprint for Learning in Ontario" reports that tuition fees should represent 25 per cent of the operating costs of a post secondary education; and
Whereas a recent Statistic Canada report shows that university tuition fees already represent more than 26 per cent of the cost of education; and
Whereas the former NDP government was responsible for a 42 percent increase in tuition fees and the elimination of the grant portion of the Ontario Student Assistant Program; and
Whereas Ontario ranks second-last when it comes to per student expenditure on post secondary education; and
Whereas the Conservative government has failed to act on their promise to establish an income contingent loan repayment plan; and
Whereas it is immoral to force students to pay the price of Mike Harris' income tax cut to the wealthy through higher tuition fees;
Therefore this House calls on the Mike Harris government not to impose or allow any tuition increase without first: demonstrating that students are not paying their fair share of education costs, which according to New Directions II, was set by the Conservatives at 25 per cent of operating expenditure; ensuring that no student is denied access to a post-secondary institution as a result of their ability to pay; significantly expanding existing student aid programs; consulting with all stakeholders; and establishing an income contingent loan repayment plan as promised. Minister of Education and Training. To be debated today.
