Mr. Newman moved,

M. Newman propose,

Second Reading of Bill 21, An Act to promote Safety in Ontario Schools and create positive Learning Environments for Ontario Students by making amendments to the Education Act.

Deuxième lecture du projet de loi 21, Loi visant à promouvoir la sécurité dans les écoles de l'Ontario et à créer des milieux d'apprentissage favorables pour les élèves ontariens en apportant des modifications à la Loi sur l'éducation.

A debate arising, at 11:00 a.m., further proceedings were reserved until 12:00 noon.

À 11 h, la suite du débat est réservée jusqu'à midi.

Mr. Gravelle then moved,

Ensuite, M. Gravelle propose,

Whereas a 1996 agreement signed by the Ontario government and the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) commits the Ministry of Health to spend $36.4 million of new monies to implement alternative payment plans in medically underserviced communities in the fiscal years 1997/98, 1998/99 and 1999/2000; and

Whereas in the past fiscal year (1997/98) virtually none of this committed funding was spent due to the government's insistence on funding only a minimum of physicians per community rather than a sustainable physician complement necessary to retain and recruit needed physicians; and

Whereas the Minister of Health has stated in the Legislature that she is looking for proposals to utilize these funds; and

Whereas a group of 38 physicians in Northwestern Ontario eligible for Globally Funded Group Practice Agreements (GFGPAs) have worked together with PAIRO (Professional Association of Interns and Residents of Ontario), NOACC (Northwestern Ontario Associated Chambers of Commerce) and the OMA to put such a proposal forward to the Minister of Health that identifies realistic and practical improvements to the present GFGPA model which, if implemented, would result in sustainable physician recruitment and retention in Northwestern Ontario communities; and

Whereas the proposal, if accepted by the Minister of Health, could serve as a model for many Northern and rural medically underserviced communities in the Province;

Be it resolved, that in the opinion of this House, the Minister of Health must fulfill her commitment to provide the positive incentives necessary to attract needed physicians to Northern and rural communities; the Minister of Health should negotiate a change in the alternate payment plan agreement so that the committed group practice funding would be based on a sustainable physician complement (a critical mass) in underserviced communities (rather than the present underserviced minimum designations); and the Minister of Health should allow funding for physician services to recognize the special and unique workload and responsibilities of physicians practising in Northern and rural underserviced areas.

The question having been put on the motion for Second Reading of Bill 21, An Act to promote Safety in Ontario Schools and create positive Learning Environments for Ontario Students by making amendments to the Education Act, it was carried on the following division:-

La motion portant deuxième lecture du projet de loi 21, Loi visant à promouvoir la sécurité dans les écoles de l'Ontario et à créer des milieux d'apprentissage favorables pour les élèves ontariens en apportant des modifications à la Loi sur l'éducation, mise aux voix, est adoptée par le vote suivant:-
