NOTICE OF MOTION PURSUANT TO STANDING ORDER 43(a)

AVIS DE MOTION DE CENSURE CONFORMÉMENT À L'ARTICLE 43(a) DU RÈGLEMENT

1. Mrs McLeod - Whereas the Conservative government has clearly broken every single promise it made with respect to protecting health care; and

Whereas the government broke its promise not to cut "one cent" from health care spending when it cut more than $1.3 billion from Ontario hospitals; and

Whereas the government broke its promise that, "Aid for seniors and the disabled will not be cut" when it introduced a new user fee on the drugs that sick seniors, disabled persons and the poor are prescribed by their doctors; and

Whereas the government broke its promise that, there would be "no new user fees" when it introduced Bill 26, which will add $225 million worth of user fees to the Ontario Drug Benefit Plan; and

Whereas the government is now planning, through Bill 26, to bestow upon the Minister of Health new unilateral powers which would allow him to close any hospital in the province without public input; and

Whereas the government is now planning, through Bill 26, to grant the Premier and Cabinet new powers that will usurp the rights and privileges of the elected Members of the legislature and thereby the rights of every person in the province;

Therefore, pursuant to Standing Order 43(a), the House no longer has confidence in the government. December 5, 1995.

PRIVATE MEMBERS' NOTICES OF MOTION

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.

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.
