Whereas the sulphur content of gasoline in Canada has one of the highest average levels of sulphur in gasoline among OECD countries and these levels are projected to rise by 2001 and,

Whereas studies have shown that reducing the level of sulphur in gasoline to 40 parts per million may reduce hydrocarbon emissions by 36 percent and,

Whereas nitrous oxide emissions may be reduced by 62 percent and,

Whereas carbon monoxide emissions may be reduced by 34 percent and,

Whereas the Government of Canada should be urged to amend the Canadian Environmental Protection Act as it relates to the regulation of sulphur content in gasoline so as to reduce the allowable sulphur limits in gasoline so that:

The sulphur content of gasoline not exceed 80 parts per million and;

That nationally the average level of sulphur in gasoline not exceed 40 parts per million. April 30, 1998.

6.

Mr. Agostino - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House the Government of Ontario should conduct a public inquiry into the July, 1997 fire at the Plastimet plant in Hamilton. May 11, 1998.

7.

Mrs. Johns - Resolution - Whereas geographic areas in the Province of Ontario have been designated as "underserviced" by the Ministry of Health as a result of their shortage of physicians; and

Whereas rural and northern communities in Ontario have not attracted sufficient graduating physicians to meet the needs of their citizens; and

Whereas graduating physicians must have special skills and a commitment to rural and northern communities in order to provide services to these communities;

Be it resolved, that in the opinion of this House, the government through the Ministry of Education and Training and the Ministry of Health implement the following:

1. Partial rebates of tuition fees of Ontario trained doctors who provide physician services in underserviced areas.

2. Provide continual training and education to complement the new physician's skills and,

3. Augment the telemedicine centres so rural and northern physicians are connected to other physicians both in Ontario and Internationally. May 14, 1998.

8.

Mr. Hastings - Resolution - That, in the opinion of this House, the Ontario government should assist full-time, post-secondary students with the purchase of computer equipment by crediting the Provincial Sales Tax on such purchases to a limit of $500, thus assisting students with their academic advancement which ultimately leads to a better trained and competitive workforce. May 25, 1998.

10.

Mr. Hastings - Resolution - That in the opinion of this House, as the importance of information and technology becomes more apparent in our ever changing society, the Ontario Government should assist individuals with access to all information through the internet, by crediting the Provincial Sales Tax, to a limit of $25, on the purchase of modems which access the information super highway so that the public can become more knowledgeable about the world around them.

13.

Mr. Tilson - Resolution - That, in the opinion of this House,

Whereas the Federal government has abrogated its responsibility to the people of Canada by making changes to the Canada Transportation Act that make it easier for CP and CN to abandon a rail line without considering whether this is in the "public interest", and

Whereas CP has begun the formal process to abandon the rail line that runs from Streetsville north to Orangeville, and

Whereas the Provincial government has attempted to counter this abrogation of responsibility of the Federal government by passing the Shortline Railways Act and Labour Relations and Employment Statute Law Amendment Act, 1995 thereby removing many of the barriers and allowing private operators to purchase these short lines at a profit,

Therefore, The provincial government should work with the Federal Government and the municipal governments of Dufferin County and the Region of Peel, along with the manufacturers association to form a partnership that would negotiate the purchase and ongoing operation of the rail line located between Streetsville and Orangeville, since this partnership would ensure the fair distribution of the rail line asset that would ensure the future viability of our community, as well as ensuring that Dufferin County and the Region of Peel would have an asset that could be used to encourage future manufacturers to locate in our community. May 28, 1998.

June 4, 1998.

16.

Mr. Hastings - Resolution - Be it resolved that in the opinion of this House that: the secondary school curriculum, that is currently being developed, should include a mandatory CPR training program for the grade nine students of this province so that they have an opportunity to take part in a program that helps to build self-esteem, teaches responsibility, and most importantly will save lives.
