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.

36. Mr Hastings - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, since the Ministry of Education is currently reviewing proposals for secondary school reform in Ontario; and since the Ontario Curriculum Project is responsible for secondary school reform in Ontario;

the members of the Ontario Curriculum project should be encouraged to incorporate into its Core Curriculum, a complete program of the History of Canada, from its earliest colonial and explorer origins, up to the end of the twentieth century so that Ontario students have a comprehensive and clear understanding of their country and its institutions, past, present, and future, to enable them to play a pivotal role as informed citizens in determining the exciting future of Canada. January 22, 1997.

38. Mr Tilson - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Canada has failed to fulfil its responsibility under the Canada Health Act to the patients and taxpayers of Ontario by adequately funding health care; and since the Government of Ontario has:-

- added another $300 million to the health care budget, increasing it to $17.7 billion;

- managed to fully protect health care spending even as the Government of Canada has slashed health and social transfer payments to Ontario by $2.1 billion;

- pledged not to let annual health care spending fall below the $17.4 billion level it was when they took office;

therefore, this House calls upon the Government of Canada to fulfil its responsibilities under the Canada Health Act to the patients and taxpayers of Ontario by reversing its decision to remove $2.1 billion in health and social transfer payments. January 27, 1997.

46. Mr Brown (Scarborough West) - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should assure the people of Scarborough, who wish to keep their community identity within a unified Toronto and retain the same basic boundaries to that community, that the community council for Scarborough will be established with its membership comprised of 10 city councillors from the Scarborough Council which will guarantee local representation and local democracy and recognize that the special needs of Scarborough, as a distinct community, are maintained and addressed within a unified Toronto as proposed by Bill 103, City of Toronto Act, 1996. March 5, 1997.

47. M. Lalonde - Proposition - Que de l'avis de la Chambre, étant donné que le ministre de la Santé a annoncé qu'il y aura bientôt de nouvelles politiques régissant la restructuration des hôpitaux ruraux;

étant donné que le ministre de la Santé a interrompu les travaux de la Commission de restructuration des services de santé en ce qui a trait aux services de santé dans les régions rurales jusqu'à ce que ces nouvelles politiques soient énoncées;

étant donné que la Commission a omis de reconnaître le caractère communautaire et rural de l'hôpital Montfort dans son rapport;

étant donné que l'hôpital Montfort est un hôpital communautaire, situé dans un milieu urbain, dont 50% de la clientèle provient des régions rurales à proximité de l'hôpital, y compris les régions de Cumberland, Prescott, Russell, Glengarry, Stormont et Dundas;

étant donné que le comté de Russell est une région rurale en pleine expansion comptant plus de 80 000 personnes et dont la majorité de la population est francophone;

étant donné que le comté de Russell est le seul comté de la province qui n'a pas d'hôpital dans ses limites territoriales et que la population de ce comté est desservie par l'hôpital Montfort;

le gouvernement devrait exiger que la Commission considère l'hôpital Montfort comme un hôpital rural; et

le ministre de la Santé devrait ordonner que toute recommandation de la Commission relativement à l'hôpital Montfort soit suspendue jusqu'à ce qu'il énonce les nouvelles politiques concernant les hôpitaux ruraux. 6 mars 1997.

54. Mr Hastings - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should, in its review of children's services, consider introducing stricter sentences to all persons convicted in the death of a child, as a result of abuse or neglect. May 13, 1997.

57. Mr Hastings - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should in its efforts to protect and preserve the present black bear population, introduce a complete ban on the hunting, trapping, killing of cubs or female black bears during the spring season before the black bear becomes extinct. June 2, 1997.

61. Mr McGuinty - Resolution - That, pursuant to Standing Order 44(a), the House consider Sessional Paper 525, tabled June 25, 1997, the Report of the Honourable Gregory T. Evans, Integrity Commissioner, entitled The Honourable Allan Leach - Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing with Respect to the Health Services Restructuring Commission. June 25, 1997.

63. Mr Hastings - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should encourage all the key players in the Ontario golf community to develop a comprehensive and creative high value tourism stategy through the instalment of a central computerized reservation system, co-ordinated meeting and marketing strategies, thus making Ontario a more attractive golf destination. July 3, 1997.

68. Mr Brown (Scarborough West) - Resolution - Whereas crime and in particular serious crime has been reduced in Scarborough schools due to the Zero Tolerance Policy Against Crime of The Scarborough Board of Education, and

Whereas the various school boards are amalgamating, and in particular The Scarborough Board of Education amalgamates with The Metropolitan Toronto Board of Education, and

Whereas the policy of Zero Tolerance Against Crime is not now province-wide,

Therefore, in the opinion of this House, the Ministry of Education of the Government of Ontario should use the Zero Tolerance Policies Against Crime developed and practised by The Scarborough Board of Education and apply them province-wide to all schools in Ontario. September 8, 1997.

76. Mr Brown (Scarborough West) - Resolution - Whereas there is a limited federal recognition of the rights of victims' of crime in the trial sentencing or parole process and no directed federal participation in crime victim compensation and,

Whereas the access to information concerning offenders is of vital importance to persons victimized by crime and,

Whereas different provincial jurisdictions have enacted different statutes regarding relief to victims of crime,

Therefore, the Legislature of Ontario urges the federal government to create a federal Victim's Bill of Rights to include the following matters:

- the right to give oral submissions at conditional release hearings and to be notified of any offender application for conditional release, transfer or release from custody,

- the creation of a victim's Ombudsman with powers equivalent to that of the Correctional Investigator appointed under the Corrections and Conditional Releases Act,

- the creation of a National Crime Victim Compensation Fund,

- amendment to the Inquiries Act to mandate an independent inquiry where a person is killed by an offender on any form of federally-mandated conditional release. October 9, 1997.

77. Mr Brown (Scarborough West) - Resolution - Whereas the penalty for those persons convicted of murder is currently subject to varying parole eligibility and that this has produced a great measure of uncertainty amongst Canadians about the credibility of the justice system of Canada,

Therefore, the Legislature of Ontario urges the federal government to make the following changes:

- the Criminal Code be so amended so as to allow a discretionary capital penalty in defined aggravated circumstances for those persons convicted of first degree murder,

- all other persons convicted of first degree murder but not sentenced to capital punishment be imprisoned for life with no chance of parole or conditional release in any form (except for escorted temporary absences for medical purposes or for a period not to exceed 48 hours), until the expiration of a period of twenty to twenty-five years as fixed by the sentencing court,

- Section 745 of the Criminal Code be repealed,

- Section 746 of the Criminal Code be repealed,

- Section 747(2) of the Criminal Code be repealed,

- the Criminal Code be amended so as to permit the discretionary imposition of consecutive parole ineligibility periods for multiple murder convictions or for offences committed while on conditional release of any kind from a life sentence. October 9, 1997.

78. Mr Brown (Scarborough West) - Resolution - Whereas individuals that choose to flee from police by means which result in a high speed chase cause inordinate risk to public and police officer safety meriting special criminal sanction, and current dangerous driving provisions of the Criminal Code are inadequate to deal with this action and criminal records resulting from such conviction do not specifically relate to the relevant facts of the nature of the offence,

Therefore, the Legislature of Ontario urges the federal government to make the following changes:

- Section 249 of the Criminal Code be amended to create the indictable offence of operating a motor vehicle and failing to stop for a peace officer when directed to do so, such offence to have a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment

- Section 553 be amended so as to add the above-noted offence to those offences over which the provincial court has absolute jurisdiction. October 9, 1997.

79. Mr Brown (Scarborough West) - Resolution - Whereas both the Criminal Code and Corrections and Conditional Release Act contain no provision for the creation of an offence if violation of a condition of a conditional release or arrest without warrant by a peace officer who reasonably believes such a breach to have occurred, and whereas current provisions of existing legislation and policies of the Correctional Services of Canada do not permit the timely arrest and detention of parole violators, nor the maintenance of a CPIC based record of parole violation, both of which are important to the prevention of future crime,

Therefore, the Legislature of Ontario urges the federal government to amend Section 733.1 of the Criminal Code so as to create the indictable offence of breaching a condition of conditional release issued pursuant to the Corrections and Conditional Release Act or the Prisons and Reformatories Act. October 9, 1997.

80. Mr Brown (Scarborough West) - Resolution - Whereas the activity and criminality of organized crime gangs has increased in recent years within Canada at severe risk to public safety and security and, the recent amendments to the Criminal Code, although helpful, are inadequate to deal with such organized crime activity,

Therefore, the Legislature of Ontario urges the federal government to amend the Criminal Code, Corrections and Conditional Release Act and Income Tax Act of Canada, so as to mandate lengthier sentences and no parole for persons convicted of serious offences and thereafter shown to be a member of an organized criminal group itself defined in the Criminal Code, and

Amend the Criminal Code permitting full asset forfeiture upon conviction of such persons and that the Income Tax Act be amended to permit asset forfeiture application by the Crown where a person is shown to be a member of an organized criminal group as defined in the Criminal Code and Income Tax Act. October 9, 1997.

81. Mr Brown (Scarborough West) - Resolution - Whereas the attempt to disarm a police officer of issued protective equipment which could be used to harm them by offenders is a matter of serious concern and indicative of serious criminality which is worthy of note by a separate and distinct recorded criminal offence,

Therefore, the Legislature of Ontario urges the federal government to amend Section 271 of the Criminal Code so as to create the indictable offence of attempting to disarm a police officer, such offence to have a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment consecutive to any other sentence imposed and that Section 553 be amended to include this offence in those over which the Provincial Court has absolute jurisdiction. October 9, 1997.

82. Mr Brown (Scarborough West) - Resolution - Whereas the current provisions of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act do not deal adequately with the circumstances of offenders committing further offences while on any form of conditional release in that such offenders are not required to serve all of their previous sentence and at least two-thirds of their new sentence, and

Whereas such offenders are not thereafter disentitled to further conditional release despite the commission of a new offence, and

Whereas such flaws seriously undermine the public credibility of the criminal justice system and unreasonably fail to prevent the commission of crime,

Therefore, the Legislature of Ontario urges the federal government to amend Section 139 of the Corrections and Conditional Releases Act so as to require any person convicted of an indictable offence while on any form of conditional release to be statutorily required to serve any remaining portion of the original sentence and no less than two-thirds of the sentence for the new offence, the calculation of which shall commence on the day the person was sentenced for the new offence, and

Any person convicted of an indictable offence committed while on any form of conditional release on two separate occasions is thereafter disentitled to any future conditional release of any kind but shall instead serve any such future sentence in its entirety, including a mandatory 90-day period in a community correctional facility following the expiration of the sentence in full. October 9, 1997.

85. Mr Arnott - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should expand the Healthy Babies, Healthy Children program, to ensure that every child identified through the program as being at risk of abuse or neglect receives the necessary services to prevent its occurrence. December 11, 1997.

WANT OF CONFIDENCE

NOTICE OF MOTION PURSUANT TO STANDING ORDER 43(a)

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

3. Mr Hampton - Whereas on September 22, 1997, the Mike Harris government introduced Bill 160, the Education Quality Improvement Act, 1997; and

Whereas Section 257.12 of the Education Act as amended by Bill 160 states clearly "the Minister of Finance may prescribe tax rates for school purposes"; and

Whereas setting tax rates of any kind by regulation without approval of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario violates the most fundamental principle of democracy, namely "no taxation without representation";

Therefore, this House no longer has confidence in the government. November 26, 1997.

4. Mr McGuinty - Whereas Premier Mike Harris informed the Ontario electorate during the 1995 provincial election campaign that it was not his plan to close hospitals; and

Whereas Premier Mike Harris pledged during the 1995 provincial election campaign that he would not cut one penny from classroom funding for Ontario's public education system; and

Whereas Mike Harris has ordered the closure of 30 hospitals in Ontario and will cut publicly funded education by more than one billion dollars; and

Whereas the Harris Government has given itself new undemocratic powers to cut public education through Bill 160, while the Minister of Education and Training has stated that no government should have this kind of power; and

Whereas the Harris Government has proceeded with Bill 152, which will cause fluctuations in property taxes, the erosion of public health services, and was voted against by members of all three political parties in the Ontario Legislature;

Therefore, this House no longer has confidence in the government. December 3, 1997.
