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.
23. Mr Hudak - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, since government intervention in the economy via regulation has become an increasingly popular policy option; and
since the regulatory burden has increased substantially in the Province of Ontario in the last ten years as a result; and
since the direct costs to government of regulation including monitoring and enforcing regulations are only a small portion of the total regulatory burden; and
since the bulk of the regulatory burden is borne by the private sector and consumers in the form of compliance costs; and
since increased costs of doing business result in higher prices, fewer products or services on the market and a consequent reduction in employment; and
since a reduction in the overall costs of regulation is a goal of the Red Tape Review Commission and the Government of Ontario;
Therefore, the Government of Ontario should design a regulatory envelope such that the total regulatory burden imposed upon private and public sector actors in Ontario will not increase and, should in fact, decrease in a fiscal year. June 11, 1996.
24. Mr Hastings - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Energy should undertake a plan to rebalance environmental protection through strict regulatory mechanisms with other realistic, affordable and workable alternatives; and
since other jurisdictions throughout the world have successfully adopted other complementary market oriented solutions for air and water pollution; and
since the current regulatory system is multifaceted, complex and highly cost inefficient for our economy, the preservation of jobs and our vital health care system; and
since environmental compliance requires new approaches to achieve the ultimate goals of water pollution, prevention and enhanced air quality through balanced regulation and market oriented solutions; and
since the smog problem in urban Ontario requires innovative solutions and in conjunction with the financial services sector, requires a workable system of emission reduction tradable credits combined with absolute liability for the principal players and a new environmental regime for air and water pollution prevention;
Therefore, the Government of Ontario, working in conjunction with the financial services sector, should investigate and subsequently adopt new clean air incentives and strategies to realize the above referenced goals. June 27, 1996.
30. Mr Hastings - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should undertake measures to improve customer service satisfaction at all levels of government agencies throughout the Ontario Public Service by adopting a Code of Customer Service Standards, thereby leading to a more effective customer service relationship between Ontarians and the Ontario Public Service. October 17, 1996.
31. Mr Wood (London South) - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Legislature supports the principle of the people being able to vote on provincial and municipal issues at every municipal election, with questions, in the case of provincial issues, being placed on a province wide ballot by petition of the people or by resolution of the Legislature and with questions, in the case of municipal issues, being placed on a municipality wide ballot by petition of the people or by resolution of the Municipal Council. October 21, 1996.

JOUR DE L'OPPOSITION |
Mrs McLeod - Whereas the Common Sense Revolution promises not to cut education spending in the classroom; and
Whereas the millions of dollars in cuts to education brought in by Mike Harris and his Minister of Education and Training, John Snobelen have in fact hurt children and affected the classroom; and
Whereas Mike Harris and his Minister of Education and Training, John Snobelen, have cut nearly $1 billion out of our elementary and secondary education system through reductions in GLGs, social contract reductions, and expenditure control plan reductions; and
Whereas Mike Harris and his Minister of Education and Training, John Snobelen, have forced thousands of Ontario children to sit in overcrowded classrooms; and
Whereas Mike Harris and his Minister of Education and Training, John Snobelen, have forced many children with special needs to lose their resource teachers; and
Whereas thousands of Ontarians will no longer have the opportunity to attend junior kindergarten and adult education programs due to poor policy decisions by the Minister of Education and Training; and
Whereas Mike Harris and his Minister of Education and Training, John Snobelen, have forced thousands of Ontario teachers to lose their jobs; and
Whereas parents no longer have confidence in Mike Harris and his Minister of Education and Training, John Snobelen to make decisions with the best interest of children in mind; and
Whereas parents and other taxpayers have clearly said that the government is cutting too much too quickly especially where education is concerned; and
Whereas parents feel that the Minister of Education and Training has not heard their concerns to date; and
Whereas the only thing guiding the Harris government is the tax cut;
Therefore this House calls on the Mike Harris government to stop any further reductions in the funding of our elementary and secondary schools; start listening to parents, students, and teachers on issues of education reform; and bring forward policies and initiatives that are guided by the best interest of children. Minister of Education and Training. To be debated November 19, 1996.
