Mr. Orazietti moved,

M. Orazietti propose,

That in the opinion of this House, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario should examine the Northern Ontario Health Travel Grant (NHTG) with a focus on reviewing the criteria and improving the services associated with receiving support from the NHTG, as well as enhancing the administration of the NHTG by simplifying its processing formula.

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

Mr. Qaadri then moved,

Ensuite, M. Qaadri propose,

That in the opinion of this House, foreign trained professionals and tradespeople possess a significant potential contribution to the economic and cultural benefit of Ontario and that the government work in partnership with Ontario's occupational regulatory bodies to remove barriers that prevent internationally trained individuals from contributing fully to the labour market.

The question having been put on Mr. Orazietti's Resolution Number 15, it was declared carried.

La motion, mise aux voix, sur la résolution numéro 15 de M. Orazietti est déclarée adoptée.

The question having been put on Mr. Qaadri's Resolution Number 14, it was declared carried.

La motion, mise aux voix, sur la résolution numéro 14 de M. Qaadri est déclarée adoptée.

1:30 P.M.

13 H 30

The Speaker delivered the following ruling:-

On Wednesday, May 5, 2004, the member for Durham (Mr. O'Toole) introduced Bill 75, An Act to amend the Retail Sales Tax Act, which seeks to increase exemptions from a tax. After first reading of the bill, the Government House Leader (Mr. Duncan) asked that the bill be reviewed as to its orderliness.

I have had an opportunity to review Standing Order 56 -- the provision in our Standing Orders that deals with money bills -- together with the relevant parliamentary authorities and precedents.

Marleau and Montpetit's House of Commons Procedure and Practice states (at page 898) that "private Members' bills which reduce taxes, reduce the incidence of a tax, or impose or increase an exemption from taxation are acceptable."

I also note that, in our own House, on December 12, 2002, the Speaker ruled that a bill that would increase exemptions from assessment for senior citizens and disabled persons did not offend Standing Order 56.

In light of these authorities and precedents, I find that Bill 75, which seeks to increase exemptions from a tax, is in order.

I thank the Government House Leader for raising his concern.
