1:30 P.M.

13 H 30

The Speaker delivered the following ruling:-

On Monday, October 1, 2001, the member for St. Catharines (Mr. Bradley) rose on a point of privilege concerning the annual report of the Environmental Commissioner. According to the member, the statements in the report about the Ministry of the Environment's management of hazardous waste issues suggested that the Ministry was in contempt of the Legislature for impeding and obstructing the Commissioner, who is an officer of this House. In particular, the member quoted the part of the report that indicated that the Ministry had misled its clients and the Commissioner about the scope of a policy review, thereby undermining public confidence in the Ministry. The Government House Leader also made submissions on this matter.

I have had the opportunity to review the Hansard for that day, the Commissioner's annual report, the written submission of the member for St. Catharines, and the relevant authorities and precedents.

The member for St. Catharines referred to some of the authorities dealing with obstruction of House officers. To this, let me add that the member will also be aware of a series of rulings delivered in June 2001 in the wake of points of privilege that various statutory officers of this House were being obstructed by the government.

In the first ruling, on June 19, 2001, which dealt with a report by the Information and Privacy Commissioner, the Speaker ruled as follows:

...[T]here was no mention in the Commissioner's Report that the Commissioner was being hindered or obstructed. The report was simply expressing serious reservations about the impact of the government's policy, and it was requesting a change in that policy. Unlike the situation that was the occasion of my May 18, 2000, ruling respecting the Commissioner's Special Report on Disclosure of Personal Information by the Province of Ontario Savings Office, Ministry of Finance, this report does not specifically state, in very clear terms, that the government was deliberately obstructing her investigation of a specific file.

Secondly, on June 21, 2001, in a ruling dealing with a report by the Ombudsman, the Speaker ruled that the report did not assert that the Ombudsman was being obstructed willfully, maliciously or without valid or justifiable reason by a government ministry, or that he required the assistance of the House to perform his duties.

Thirdly, on June 25, 2001, in a ruling dealing with a report of the Environmental Commissioner, the Speaker ruled that the report simply expressed criticisms and frustrations about inaction by a government ministry; it did not allege that the ministry was obstructing, frustrating or hindering the officer in the performance of his duties, or that the ministry was attempting to do so. In reporting to the House, the Environmental Commissioner was simply fulfilling his statutory duties. As with the other two rulings, a prima facie case of contempt was not made out.

In the case at hand, the report of the Environmental Commissioner expresses profound concerns about an environmental issue, and it requests that those concerns be addressed, but it does not indicate that the Environmental Commissioner was being hindered or obstructed in the performance of his duties in the meaning of the rulings I have just referred to. The circumstances fall well short of what is required to establish a prima facie case of contempt, and I so find.

I thank the member for St. Catharines for raising his concerns as it has afforded me an opportunity to address this important matter.
