ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mr Duncan moved,

M. Duncan propose,

Whereas there has been a proliferation of accidents and fatalities related to truck safety in Ontario, and;

Whereas this has caused a great lack of confidence in road safety in Ontario, and;

Whereas the Government has repeatedly stated its intention to deal decisively and swiftly with truck safety in Ontario, and;

Whereas the Government has had a truck safety Bill on the Order Paper since February 24, 1997, and;

Whereas the Minister of Transportation has attempted to exploit the issue for political purposes, choosing numerous photo opportunities to advance the need for truck safety, and;

Whereas the Government has failed to address the issue in a meaningful way, and;

Whereas the Liberal caucus has stated its desire to cooperate and expeditiously pass legislation ensuring road safety in Ontario,

Be it therefore resolved that this House calls upon the Government to bring forward Bill 125 immediately for Second and Third Reading and that the House further calls upon the Government to respond to the Target 97 recommendations with legislation so that a full, public debate can occur.

A debate arising, after some time, the motion was lost on the following division:-
