ORDERS OF THE DAY |
ORDRE DU JOUR |
Opposition Day |
Jour de l'opposition |
Mr Hampton moved, |
M. Hampton propose, |
Whereas the Government of Ontario has introduced Bill 103, An Act respecting the City of Toronto, which will affect municipal representation and public services for every citizen in Metropolitan Toronto; and
Whereas the Mayors of municipalities within Metropolitan Toronto have decided to conduct a public referendum on the Province's legislation, to ensure that the voice of all citizens is heard; and
Whereas the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has expressed concern that the question on any referendum ballot might be subject to manipulation, in order to affect the outcome;
Therefore, this House demands that the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing meet with the Mayors of Metropolitan Toronto's municipalities to draft a referendum question which fairly and accurately describes the Government's proposal for an amalgamated City of Toronto; and further, that the Legislative Assembly respect the results of the referendum.
A debate arising, after some time, the motion was lost on the following division:- |
