Mr Dan Newman (Scarborough Centre): On a point of order, Madam Chair: I just took a break for a couple of minutes and I was watching on television when the member for Hamilton Centre rose to withdraw an amendment, I believe it was. The box that's on his desk has the NDP markers on the back and the rear angle of the camera picks that up. I wanted to bring that to your attention, because I know you of all people would want to enforce the rules of this House --

The First Deputy Chair: Absolutely. That's my job here.

Mr Newman: -- and to ensure that that NDP marker is removed from the box.

The First Deputy Chair: Yes, that's correct. I would ask the member for Hamilton Centre to position the box. Either put it on the chair or turn it so that the NDP symbol cannot be seen by the camera.

Mr Wildman: If I could have an explanation of your ruling, this means that there's a demonstration on TV?

The First Deputy Chair: That's an interesting point. Let me confer with the table.

Although I don't think the Speaker specifically referred to TV cameras and the images projected on those, the spirit, and perhaps the words, although I don't have them in front of me, is that the members should not bring into the House any visible signs that can be seen as demonstration, so I am upholding the ruling that that would be considered as a demonstration in the Legislature and should be removed or placed out of sight.

Ms Annamarie Castrilli (Downsview): A point of privilege.

The Chair: It has to be a real point of privilege. Otherwise I will explain what it is.

Ms Castrilli: It is a real point of privilege. Pursuant to standing order 28(a), which says, "When a voice vote has been taken on any question, a division may be required by five members standing in their places," it is, as you know, due to an accident, not possible for me to stand in my place at every occasion. I don't ask for a ruling at this stage, but I wonder if you might consider that section and give me some advice as to what could be done, because I do think the privilege is breached.

The Chair: We'll get back on that. I can think of many solutions, but I want to be sure I give you the right one.

Ms Castrilli: That's fine, Chair. I don't require an immediate answer.

Mr Pouliot: On the same point, Chair: There is a human dimension attached to this. Obviously if someone from time to time is experiencing a condition which does not -- surely a reasonable alternative is that you can signal with your hand, for instance. This is not reinventing the atom, sir.

The Chair: That's what I just said. We'll find a solution and it will be agreeable to everyone.

The member for Downsview, Mrs Castrilli, has a leg that needs to be cared for. It's difficult for her to get up. The only solution would be for her to raise her hand, but it's only for her. The name of anyone who is sitting and wants to raise their hand, I won't count that. It's only for her. She's allowed to raise her hand. I ask for unanimous consent. Is it agreed? Agreed. It only applies for her, just to raise her hand. Thank you.

Mr Bisson: Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of privilege: Last night in this chamber, I guess somewhere around 3 o'clock yesterday morning, we were in the process of voting on or having amendments read such as what you're doing right now and I want to bring it to your attention, because this is the first time I've seen you since you arrived here, since last night the member for Scarborough East on a number of occasions through the reading of the amendments, whenever it came to the point of the government member having to vote no as they've been doing on these amendments, kept on referring to these amendments as "Crozier motions".

The Acting Chair: What's the point of privilege?

Mr Bisson: The point of privilege I rise on, Mr Chair, is, as you know, the standing orders are quite explicit, that members of this chamber are not to impute motive and are not to engage in calling members by names or --

Interjections.

The Acting Chair: Order. It's my understanding that this was ruled on last night, this point of privilege.

Mr Bisson: But, Chair, I want to raise it because it is the first time that you have been here and I want to make sure you are aware that the members here were treating you without respect. I think that quite frankly that is not in order in this chamber, that we should always be treating all Chairs with respect in this chamber.

The Acting Chair: I thank the member, but that has been dealt with.

Hon David H. Tsubouchi (Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations): On a point of order, Mr Chair: Earlier on in the day I made a similar request of the sitting Chair. The honourable members, when they are withdrawing various amendments, could certainly assist us -- and they had agreed at the time; the House leader was there -- by allowing us to know what the name of the street or the location is when they are withdrawing the amendment, and they had agreed to that at that time. It really helps us a bit in keeping our notes.

The Acting Chair: I understand that commitment was made, Minister. If you could mention the name of the street, then, in withdrawing.

Mr Klees: On a point of order, Mr Chair: At the outset of you reading this particular amendment, I said "Dispense" on three occasions. Now, the first two times, I believe as the record would show, you did not respond. My question to you is, did you not hear those first two times when I said "Dispense," or were you ignoring me?

The Acting Chair: When I heard "Dispense," I then asked the question of "Dispense?"

Mr Klees: And so for the first two times, Mr Chair, you did not hear me, although I did say it quite clearly?

The Acting Chair: The first time I heard you say "Dispense," I said "Dispense?"

Mr Klees: And so there were clearly two times, I believe as the record would show, when I said very clearly, "Dispense." My question to you, Mr Chair, is, is it possible that, just as you did not hear my two times when I called "Dispense" today, perhaps you also did not hear the two members of this House who yesterday, when you ruled that you did not hear them say "No" -- is it possible that you did not hear the two members who clearly said in this House that they said "No"?

Interjections.

1830

The Acting Chair: Order. For the record, yesterday the ruling of the Chair was challenged. The Speaker reviewed that challenge and I think his words were very clearly that, as I had reported to him, the "No" I heard was after I had said "Carried." That matter has then been dealt with.

Mr Klees: Yes, but my point of order specifically --

The Acting Chair: Your point of order has been dealt with. To the member, with all due respect, I've dealt with your point of order. If you have anything new to add to it, why, feel free.

Mr Klees: I would like to add something new, because I'm not sure that you understood my point of order.

The Acting Chair: Yesterday's business is done. If you want to deal with the "Dispense" that you had today and have anything to add to it, I'd take it under consideration.

Mr Klees: So clearly, then, with regard to today's business and the issue of "Dispense," you did admit clearly that you did not hear my first two requests for a dispense. Is that correct?

The Acting Chair: No, I did not. I said that the first "Dispense" I heard, I then responded to it.

Mr Klees: So there were clearly two requests for a dispense that you did not hear, Mr Chair.

Mr Bisson: On a point of order, Mr Chair: Standing orders 13(a) and (b) are in my view quite clear. When a Speaker or a Chair makes a decision -- in this case if we make a decision chaired by the committee of the whole -- we are able, as members, to appeal that decision to the Speaker. Clearly yesterday your decision was challenged. The Speaker reviewed it and upheld your decision.

The point of order I'm making is that the decision now being made, this member is now trying to circumvent the process and to rechallenge the decision of the Chair. The standing orders are quite clear that you cannot --

The Acting Chair: To the member for Cochrane South, the Chair would appreciate it if -- I don't believe you have a point of order. That's been dealt with and you are just prolonging it, I think. I don't think it's helpful.

Mr Bisson: On a point of order, Mr Chair: I realize you were reading very quickly through this amendment, but you failed to mention a couple of key parts of the amendment.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm sorry, what did I miss?

Mr Bisson: After the first sentence, "I move that section 24 of the bill be amended by adding the following subsection," you didn't read the "public consultation." I'd like that to be in the record.

The Second Deputy Chair: Oh, that is a point of order. I asked about that some time ago, two or three days ago, because I was reading these -- and I am trying to expedite them, you're absolutely right -- but I asked about that, and I was told that the public consultation wording in there is, in fact, one of those things that goes in the margins that the lawyers later on can put in or out or do whatever they want with. I was told I didn't have to read it, so I don't.

If you'd like to appeal my ruling, that is my ruling. It is a point of order, but I don't have to read it, so -- occasionally, my mistake, I will read it. So, if you want, I'll have to have it taken out of the record or whatever.

Mr Bisson: It is just that, Speaker, you had read it for the last three amendments and this time I thought you had forgotten, and I wouldn't want you to make a mistake.

The Second Deputy Chair: If I make a mistake, if you bring it to my attention, I'll do everything in my power to correct it.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm not sure about that.

-- "`living in the urban area shall be made unless the following conditions have first been satisfied:'" --

I'm in jest, and I apologize.

Mr Bisson: That wouldn't be nice to do that, because you are my friend.

The Second Deputy Chair: We are both members of this Legislature and I have a job to do and part of my job is to move on and reading these several motions and so on. I realize that it may be your duty to slow it down as much as possible and on the other side, of course, they would like to speed it up and dispense with everything, and we're kind of taking the middle road. I'm sure you wouldn't want to obstruct me in getting my work done. Fine. I do apologize for making that comment in jest. I withdraw it and I take it back.

The Second Deputy Chair:-- "`and the minister has considered all oral submissions made at the hearing.'"

The Chair recognizes the member for Cochrane South on a point of order.

Mr Bisson: Thank you very much. Can you tell me what amendment you're on, because I think there's a mistake here.

The Second Deputy Chair: Oh, I'm sorry if I made a mistake. I'm on Country Club Drive.

Mr Bisson: Country Club Drive. Is it possible you've read the same amendment twice?

The Second Deputy Chair: Yes. I could have made any number of mistakes. I'm fallible.

Mr Bisson: Can you doublecheck? You might have read it twice.

The Second Deputy Chair: How many should I take back? Just the last one, two, three or the last 800 or 900?

Mr Bisson: There should be one Country Club Drive amendment, and either you've read it twice or I've moved the paper incorrectly.

The Second Deputy Chair: The last one was Council Crescent.

Interjections.

Mr Bisson: Pardon? I didn't hear it with the heckling, Speaker. Sorry.

The Second Deputy Chair: The last one I read was Council Crescent.

Mr Bisson: Then I stand corrected, Speaker. You were probably on the right amendment.

The Second Deputy Chair: I can understand that. I've made mistakes too in my lifetime. Now are we ready to proceed?

Mr Bisson: I didn't hear that.

The Second Deputy Chair: You were standing on a point of order. That was a point of order, and I think that I ruled on it. Now you're still standing, and I'm wondering why.

Mr Bisson: Which part of --

The Second Deputy Chair: Member for Cochrane South, I don't want to be trifling. I don't want to make a mockery of it. You have a problem that I don't have, and I want to get it settled and straightened out.

Mr Bisson: If we can clarify, because I believed you had read the same amendment twice, and obviously I was in error and you were not, and that's where we're at.

The Second Deputy Chair: No. If I make any mistakes, please let me know.

Hon Mr Tsubouchi: Mr Chair, on a point of order: I just want to draw to your attention that when the member for Cochrane South was addressing the Chair, he addressed him by his first name when he was calling him, and I don't think it's very appropriate for this chamber.

The Second Deputy Chair: If he did, and he may have, I'm sure that he'll withdraw that --

Mr Bisson: I will, Speaker. I was trying to get your attention. You weren't responding to "Chair," so I tried "Yoo-hoo, Bert." I apologize. I shouldn't have done that.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm very, very sorry. If I didn't hear anything, I'll correct it and go back, and if there's anything I can do to fix that up --

Mr Bisson: I won't use "Yoo-hoo, Bert" any more. I'll use "A Chair." Thank you.

The Second Deputy Chair: "A Chair." I'll take that in the very best sense.

I left off at the word "hearing."

Mr Klees: On a point of order, Mr Chair: In the interests of this House, I think it's very important that we note that the member for Cochrane South just reminded you that he spoke a number of times to get your attention and you didn't hear him. I'd like to point out that in this chamber it's very possible for members to try to get the attention of the Chair and for the Chair not to hear them. I think it goes back to the point yesterday when in fact there were two members in this House who made the statement that they voted no and were not heard by the Chair presiding at the time. I think it's very important that that be recognized.

The Second Deputy Chair: That is a point of order, but it has been ruled on. I would like to proceed.

Mr Bisson: On a point of order, Chair: I believe in reading the amendment, this present amendment, on the first line of (4) you read, "Despite subsection (1), no regulation may." You missed "that," and I would like "that" to appear on the record.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'll try my very best to correct any mistakes that I make, and if I left out the word "that," then I -- do you want me to read it over again? I'll just instruct that it be put in. Okay?

I see somebody standing, I hear somebody talking and it's very disturbing. It's upsetting to me. It almost verges on being irritating.

Mr Flaherty: Sit down or leave.

The Second Deputy Chair: No, I want to be very clear about this. I don't mind the member for Cochrane South standing; he has that right. But it's when I have the same sight line between a person talking and a person standing, I have to both hear and see, and I'm trying to read this as well. I want to expedite this and get these --

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. I want to be very clear about this. These motions would not be before this committee if they weren't very, very important.

NDP motion:

"I move that section 24 of the bill be amended by adding the following subsection:

"`Public consultation

"`(4) Despite subsection (1), no regulation that may affect'" --

What I have before me is the amendment for Cove Drive. I have made a mark where I've stopped after the word "affect," and there's a mark on this very similar to the ones I make when I'm interrupted, but it's already on here after the colon after "satisfied." The only reason I bring this to the attention of this committee is that I try to be accurate. If at some time I come up against this again, I guess I won't be able to guarantee that the mark is the one where I stopped. It's not part of the original amendment because it's in blue ink and it's very similar to mine, and I know it's not mine because I haven't gotten as far as that. I stopped when I saw it.

-- "`the residents of Cove Drive living in the urban area shall be made unless the following conditions have first been satisfied:

"`1. The minister has given notice of the proposed regulation, in a manner that will come to the attention of the residents of Cove Drive living in the urban area.

"`2. The minister has considered all written submissions made by members of the public that his office received within 30 days after the notice was given.

"`3. If 10 or more persons requested a public hearing within 30 days after the notice was given, a public hearing has been held and the minister has considered all oral submissions made at the hearing.

"`4. The minister shall give three weeks' notice of a public hearing, in the same manner as the notice under paragraph 1.

"`5. The notice under paragraph 1 shall,

"`i. include a copy of the proposed regulation,

"`ii. tell members of the public where and how to obtain, without charge, a copy of this act together with background material,

"`iii. advise members of the public of their rights under paragraphs 2, 3 and 4,

Mr Marchese: I ask that it be withdrawn, Mr Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: It's done.

Mr Marchese: I would like to withdraw the following motion that has the designation of "Coxwell Bl." By way of explanation, the one that follows is much clearer, in terms of saying "boulevard," than this one.

The member for Dovercourt. I had problems a little while ago with people standing and talking. I guess what I'm saying is that one isn't all that bad, under the conditions we are in, but when you do both -- I have a very difficult job. I'm trying to read, I'm trying to hear, I'm trying to see when people rise on points of order. If you're standing, please don't talk, and if you're talking, please don't stand unless you want my attention. Does that make any sense?

Mr Tony Silipo (Dovercourt): On a point of order, Mr Chair: I appreciate the full explanation because at the beginning of your point I thought you were indicating that it was difficult for members to talk and stand at the same time. That's something I think I am capable of doing, but I appreciate your point. I was simply at that point indicating that I wanted you to read the amendment.

The Second Deputy Chair: I don't want to be trifling or anything. I want to be very serious about it. I know you wouldn't have brought these in front of us if they weren't serious amendments. I'm trying to do the best job I can, but I want to emphasize that I'm reading a motion that consists of about 249 words, about 23 numbers and about 50 punctuation marks and I'm trying to do it accurately and to the best of my knowledge. Actually, I've made mistakes, heaven knows I've made a lot of mistakes, and I appreciate anybody who brings them to my attention when I do. I don't mean to lecture, I don't want to be that way, but when you're standing and talking -- I want to say this to the member for Dovercourt. I have a lot of respect for you in this House. If I've said anything that would indicate that those two -- you're a very bright and able representative of your riding and I want to make that clear.

Mr Peter Kormos (Welland-Thorold): Mr Chair, on a point of order: I attended at the east entrance just a few minutes ago. Here we are, it's 10 after 10 on Saturday night and this Legislature is going to be open all evening. Will the Chair please assure me and other members of this assembly that the east doors will remain open so that members of the public can continue to attend here and observe these proceedings and sit, as these spectators are, in protest of Mike Harris's and Al Leach's megacity hearings, even though Mike Harris happens to be skiing in Whistler, BC, as his backbenchers are sitting here sweating it out?

The Acting Chair: Member, take your seat, please.

Interjections.

The Acting Chair: Order. You're not in your seat.

Mr Garry J. Guzzo (Ottawa-Rideau): You're right, I'm not.

Interjections.

The Acting Chair: Order, please, all of us. To the member for Welland-Thorold, I would just say, to the best of my knowledge, there's no reason why those doors wouldn't remain open, and if that's the case, I would ask some officer or official of this place to tell me otherwise.

Mr Kormos: Thank you, Chair.

I realize it's late and members are tired, but I know that members want to conduct themselves in a way that the public would expect. I've got the opposition members quiet, I would ask the government members to join them.

I would urge you to go back to the Crusader Street because that was not completed and then I would ask --

The Acting Chair: The member for Welland-Thorold, would you please take your seat. Would the member please take his seat. We appreciate the advertisement. However, that isn't a point of order.

Mr Kormos: On a point of order, Mr Chair: I'm concerned about people having access. The Chair recalls that the last time people massed here, there was a very difficult time obtaining access to the visitors' galleries. I'm asking that the Chair could determine that access for the opponents of 103 and 104 at 1 o'clock at Queen's Park square will be guaranteed access to these galleries.
