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.

18. Mrs Boyd - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, since persons with disabilities in Ontario face systemic barriers in access to employment, services, goods, facilities and accommodation; and

since all Ontarians will benefit from the removal of these barriers, thereby enabling these persons to enjoy equal opportunity and full participation in the life of the province;

therefore, the Government of Ontario should keep its promise as set out in the letter from Michael D. Harris to the Ontarians with Disabilities Act Committee dated May 24, 1995 to:

a) enact an Ontarians with Disabilities Act within its current term of office; and

b) work together with members of the Ontarians with Disabilities Act Committee, amongst others, in the development of such legislation. April 30, 1996.

19. Mr Curling - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, since the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has caused considerable confusion by publicly telling landlords and builders that he will introduce legislation that will end rent control, but on the other hand, tells tenants they will be protected without any explanation; and

since this government has cancelled over 390 non-profit housing projects that would have provided needed and decent shelter to lower income Ontarians, but has made known no plan to make up for this short-fall in affordable accommodation; and

since the Minister intends to drastically change six pieces of housing legislation, including rent control, that will wipe out tenant protection in Ontario; and

since rent control legislation was first introduced in 1975 and improved on by subsequent governments over the past 20 years; and

since this government continues to attack the most vulnerable in our society;

therefore, the Government of Ontario should stop its plans to gut rent control, and work with tenants to ensure that tenant protection and rent control be maintained in the province of Ontario. April 30, 1996.

SPECIAL DEBATES

DÉBATS SPÉCIAUX

OPPOSITION DAY

JOUR DE L'OPPOSITION

Mrs McLeod - Whereas the Progressive Conservative campaign document promises to ensure that any actions by the Mike Harris government will not result in increases to local property taxes; and

Whereas Mike Harris and his government have repeatedly said that there is only one tax payer; and

Whereas Mike Harris has repeatedly said that a fee hike is the same as a tax hike; and

Whereas Mike Harris and his government have either introduced new fees or hiked existing fees in the Ministries of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation; Consumer and Commercial Relations; Economic Development, Trade and Tourism; Education and Training; Environment and Energy; Management Board Secretariat; Municipal Affairs and Housing; Natural Resources; and the Solicitor General; and

Whereas Bill 26 gave municipalities the power to impose new and increased user fees despite the overwhelming opposition from the electorate; and

Whereas Mike Harris and his government have reduced transfer payments to municipalities by 42%; and

Whereas this reduction has led to property tax increases in various municipalities; and

Whereas transfer payments to school boards, colleges and universities, social service agencies and other transfer partners have also been significantly reduced; and

Whereas these reductions have led to a 42% tuition fee increase; and

Whereas these reductions have forced municipalities to introduce hundreds of new user fees; and

Whereas these reductions will negatively affect the province of Ontario and its citizens; and

Whereas Mike Harris and his government's approach to deficit reduction has led to Ontario now being known as "Home of the User Fee"; and

Whereas the spending cuts leading to all these new fees and fee hikes will ultimately fund the tax cut to the wealthy in Ontario; and

Whereas for the average Ontarian any tax cut will be eaten up by new user fees;

Therefore this House calls on the Mike Harris government to stop any further actions that will lead to new or increased fees at the provincial or municipal level; do a complete inventory of new and increased user fees at the provincial and municipal level; acknowledge the impact of Bill 26 on user fees in Ontario; and present to this House a more balanced approach to deficit reduction. Premier of Ontario. To be debated May 28, 1996.
