The Speaker delivered the following rulings:-

Yesterday, several members raised the issue of security. I would like to respond by reiterating that security of the Legislative precinct is the responsibility of the Speaker. I share many of the concerns over security matters that have been raised and I understand the need to consult fully with the members of this House. It is for this reason that I am anxious to have the membership of the Standing Committee on the Legislative Assembly struck, and hopeful that when it is, it will make the consideration of the issue of security a priority.

Yesterday, the member for Windsor-Riverside (Mr Cooke) rose on a point of order with respect to the committee membership motion.

This matter was raised on October 18, 1995 and I refer members to my ruling of that same date. Let me clarify by saying that the Speaker does not have any authority to compel this House to consider a certain item at Orders of the Day.

I again urge the Acting Government House Leader to discuss this matter with the members opposite to come to a quick resolution of the problem.

Yesterday, the member for Mississauga South (Mrs Marland) rose on a point of privilege with respect to the television cameras in the gallery. I find that the member does not have a prima facie point of privilege, however the member may wish to bring this matter to the attention of the Standing Committee on the Legislative Assembly for its consideration.
