PRAYERS 10:00 A.M.	PRIÈRES 10 H
Mr. Kells moved,	M. Kells propose,
Second Reading of Bill 77, An Act to endorse the proposed bid of the City of Toronto to host the XXIX Summer Olympic Games.	Deuxième lecture du projet de loi 77, Loi visant à appuyer la candidature que se propose de présenter la cité de Toronto pour accueillir les XXIXe Jeux olympiques d'été.
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. Rollins then moved,	Ensuite, M. Rollins propose,
That, in the opinion of this House, since the gasoline pricing practices of large supplier/retailers continues to be a problem which threatens consumers with unreasonably high prices, and price increases timed to coincide with long weekends, and which undermines the important role played by independent gasoline retailers in Ontario; and
Since gasoline pricing is an issue of common interest to all Canadian consumers; and
Since ensuring fair competition in the marketplace is the responsibility of the federal government under the Competition Act; and
Since the federal Report of the Liberal Committee on Gasoline Pricing in Canada, the McTeague Report, tabled in June, 1998, concluded that the current Canadian wholesale and retail gasoline market is not truly competitive and that competition has steadily lessened in recent years; and
Since the McTeague Report recommended that the Competition Act be amended to provide better protection for consumers, and that the federal government immediately act to replace the criminal burden of proof model currently used in sections dealing with predatory pricing and price discrimination; and
Since the need for immediate action on the part of the federal government to restore competition to the gasoline marketplace has been expressed by Ontario consumers to the Consumer Watchdog Commission of MPPs, appointed in Spring 1998 by the Honourable David H. Tsubouchi, Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations; and
Since the federal Competition Bureau is of the opinion that no marketplace problems exist in the gasoline industry which violate the Competition Act as currently drafted and a Private Member's Bill C-235 sets out amendments to the Competition Act to address certain of these issues;
Therefore the Government of Ontario should call upon the federal government to address this problem of national dimensions by amending the Competition Act to address pricing practices within the gasoline industry and appoint a special investigator to enforce the revised Act to ensure that Canadian consumers benefit from competitive and transparent gasoline prices across this country.
The question having been put on the motion for Second Reading of Bill 77, An Act to endorse the proposed bid of the City of Toronto to host the XXIX Summer Olympic Games, it was declared carried and the Bill was accordingly read the second time and Ordered for Third Reading.	La motion portant deuxième lecture du projet de loi 77, Loi visant à appuyer la candidature que se propose de présenter la cité de Toronto pour accueillir les XXIXe Jeux olympiques d'été, mise aux voix, est déclarée adoptée et le projet de loi est en conséquence lu une deuxième fois et ordonné pour la troisième lecture.
The question having been put on Mr. Rollins' Resolution Number 33, it was declared carried.	La motion, mise aux voix, sur la résolution numéro 33 de M. Rollins est déclarée adoptée.
