The Speaker addressed the House:- |
Le Président s'adresse à l'Assemblée :- | ||||||||
I want to ask for the indulgence of the House for just a few minutes to address the fire drill that was conducted in this building yesterday. While I can appreciate that it may present an inconvenience to some, fire drills are an exercise in due diligence ensuring compliance with fire regulations - something that I as Speaker am responsible for. It is an important safety exercise that is only effective if it is conducted at a time when occupancy and business is in the normal to peak range. Having received the preliminary report of yesterday's drill, I was generally encouraged by the response and want to express sincere appreciation to the vast majority of occupants who participated. However, I was also disappointed to learn that certain occupants, including some MPP's, declined to evacuate the building. I cannot stress strongly enough that the purpose of these fire drills is to certify that the proper procedures are in place for your safety. They also ensure that all occupants, Members and staff alike, are fully aware of the appropriate evacuation and re-entry procedures. Non-compliance with an evacuation order, even during a drill, is a serious and in my view foolhardy infraction of fire safety guidelines. I would hope that Members of Provincial Parliament would offer some leadership in this respect and I trust that I can be assured of full cooperation the next time. | |||||||||
