Tuesday, the thirtieth day of March, 1971, being the first day of the Fourth Session of the Twenty-eighth Parliament of the Province of Ontario for the Despatch of Business pursuant to a Proclamation of the Honourable W. Ross Macdonald, P.C., C.D., Q.C., LL.D., Lieutenant Governor of the Province.

3 O'CLOCK P.M. And the House having met,

The Honourable the Lieutenant Governor then entered the House and, being seated on the Throne, was pleased to open the Session by the following gracious speech :—

Mr. Speaker and Members of The Legislative Assembly of Ontario:

I extend warmest greetings and a sincere welcome to each of you.

Since this Legislature last met we have witnessed significant developments in the political life of our Province. On behalf of our Sovereign, I extend con- gratulations to the Prime Minister and cordial greetings to the new Ministry.

Je tiens a vous souhaiter a tous une bienvenue des plus chaleureuses.

Elizabeth II 30xH MARCH

Depuis la derniere reunion de cette assemblee, nous avons assiste a des changements importants dans la vie politique de notre province. Au nom de notre Souveraine, je presente mes felicitations au Premier Ministre et mes voeux les plus cordiaux au nouveau Cabinet.

The responsibilities of the new Ministry will be many. Challenges of a nature and complexity unknown to us only a few years ago now affect the daily lives of the people of Ontario, whatever their interests or pursuits, wherever their place of residence. A sense of rediscovery and re-appraisal reaches to the foundations of our society. We pray that the Members of this Legislature will be given strength and wisdom so that your decisions will yield greater benefit to all the people of Ontario and in so doing enhance the vitality, maturity and unity of Canada.

The demands and pressures upon us all during the Nineteen-Seventies will differ markedly from those of past decades. The men and women of Ontario are establishing fresh values to apply to the quality of their lives and to attain for their children a legacy which goes far beyond older criteria of attaining personal material goods. To this end the people of Ontario have indicated their preparedness to work, participate and make sacrifices.

This search for new values stimulates and challenges government to match the zeal of the citizenry. The structure of government must evolve accord- ingly so that the instruments of public service will continue to be perceptive and sensitive to the needs of the people and responsive to the requirements of responsible democracy. The Government and the new Ministry are committed to such evolution.

During this Fourth Session of the Twenty-Eighth Parliament of Ontario, the Government will place before you an extensive program in response to the requirements of life in Ontario during the Nineteen-Seventies. The Ministry will listen closely to the problems of the people and will act swiftly to resolve them. Policies will seek to expand and nourish individual initiative and private responsibility.

The current unconscionable levels of unemployment which have been forced upon the Canadian people will be combatted with every means at the disposal of this Provincial Government. The Budget will be presented on April 26th. Its purpose will be to restore the inherent vitality of our economy so far as this is within Provincial competence. This vitality is of extreme importance to the economic prospects of all areas of Canada.

Already several programs, providing twelve thousand immediate new jobs in Ontario, have been announced as part of the Government's drive to relieve unemployment. The resources of many Departments will be directed to pro- viding further employment opportunities.

To combat unemployment and to provide for the needs of our people, the Government will commence a new home construction program. Using funds generated from the private sector and the Governments of Canada and Ontario, one half billion dollars will be injected into the economy of the

30TH MARCH 1971

Province. This will establish a potential for one hundred and thirty-two thousand jobs during the next year, the construction of thirty thousand units of housing and shelter for ninety thousand people.

Summer employment for students will also require increased Government assistance. Programs have been created to enable students to demonstrate their personal initiative, respond to their concern about the environment and acquire funds which will permit their education to be continued. Some fourteen thousand young people will be employed this summer by the Ontario public service, a substantial increase from previous years. Among these will be two thousand participating in the Students Working in an Environmental Enhance- ment Program. As participants in this program, to be known as SWEEP, young people will clean up land, streams and lakeshores, plant trees and maintain parks.

Maintaining a healthy climate for both Canadian and foreign investors is essential to the economy of Ontario and the full employment of our working force. At the same time, the Government believes that the people of Ontario should have at hand the means whereby our own economic, cultural and social objectives and priorities are determined in Canada by Canadians. So that we may more clearly understand the effects of participation in our economy by non-Canadian investors and companies, and so that solutions in this clouded area do not race ahead of adequate and unemotional analysis, the Government will convene a conference on foreign investment. Representatives of all seg- ments of the community and the federal and other provincial governments will be invited to take a full and active part in the deliberations. Through this conference the Government seeks to bring together the knowledge and experience available from all possible sources in the assessment of the implica- tions of foreign investment.

Immediate steps will be taken to enhance opportunities for Canadians to participate in the development of Ontario. The Government will give pref- erence to Canadian-owned businesses seeking grants and loans under the various incentive programs. To further encourage Canadian enterprise and ownership, a venture capital fund will be established to assist in the financing of small businesses which have exceptional potential but which involve greater risks than are acceptable to conventional lending institutions. Additional assistance will be provided to small businesses to develop technology and products. Increased emphasis will be placed on helping industries in such areas as environmental services, transportation and data processing.

Existing regulations and standards of the Ontario Development Cor- poration and the Northern Ontario Development Corporation are being revised so that assistance will be more readily available to small Canadian-owned businesses and to certain segments of our service industries. A program of immediate assistance has been launched to improve or relocate tourist establishments.

An advisory committee drawn from Canadian-owned industries will be formed to assist manufacturers in such matters as tariff policy, the changing structure of ownership of industry and multi-national corporate activities.

Elizabeth II 30TH MARCH

Detailed consideration of one area which could have a major bearing on our cultural development is now under review by the Royal Commission on Book Publishing.

To further preserve our heritage, Crown lands will henceforth be made available only on a lease basis. The Government will thus retain control over ownership. Canadians will be given preferential treatment when Crown land is to be made available for cottage lots. Canadians will have one year to lease the property before it is offered to others.

As the last decade has demonstrated and the Nineteen-Seventies will reinforce, the full enjoyment of our daily activities is closely related to con- ditions within our cities, ease of and access to transportation, equality of services in rural areas, adequate housing, readily available recreational facilities and the elimination of pollution. The Government will take those steps within its power to create an atmosphere in which a high quality of living and other special and enviable characteristics of life in Ontario are available to all.

Present programs will be intensified and new approaches will be sought to eliminate pollution and prevent further contamination. By court and other actions, the Government has already indicated its determination to enforce its policies and is examining other means by which those who pollute can be made to pay for the damage they create.

To achieve this objective, all provincial programs involved in environmental conservation, mangement and protection, will be brought together in one Department. Key branches of the Ontario Water Resources Commission, together with specific functions of the Environmental Health Services Branch of the Department of Health, will be integrated with the existing Department of Energy and Resources Management. All will be reconstituted as The Ontario Department of the Environment.

The Government proposes to introduce a comprehensive Bill to deal with all matters related to environmental conservation. Among the many benefits which will result from the creation of this new Department will be the ability to mount a stronger program to preserve our recreational lakes and rivers. Closely related to the new Department will be the appointment of an environ- mental council to investigate and report upon potential new pollution hazards.

The Government is determined to assure the adequacy of our energy supplies for the future. It will ensure that the energy is used efficiently as possible and that its use will not adversely affect the environment, health or life. The Government will strive to maintain a choice between the various types of energy to match them with those uses for which they are best suited. To this end, the Committee on Government Productivity has been asked to review the function, structure, operation, financing and objectives of the Hydro- Electric Power Commission of Ontario. The Committee has also been asked to advise the Government with respect to the long-range energy requirements of the Province.

30TH MARCH 1971

The rapid and convenient movement of people, goods and information is central to the social and economic well-being of the residents of Ontario. The Government will give increasing consideration to the creation of functional, integrated and balanced transportation systems, encompassing those types of public and private transportation best suited to the needs of each area.

To accomplish this objective, the existing Departments of Highways and Transport and the facilities and services of the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission will be brought together in a Department of Transportation and Communications. The new Department will develop and employ ways to move large numbers of people and goods and stimulate the economic growth of the Province while being more sensitive to the environmental and aesthetic sensibilities of our people.

I he Department of Transportation and Communications will be called upon to achieve a better balance between public transit, commuter services and motor vehicle traffic. It will take steps to integrate road, rail, air and water services throughout the Province. It will continue to expand and improve our road system. Special emphasis will be given to the total transportation system of the larger cities and their surrounding commuter areas. To help accomplish this, assistance will be given municipalities for the development of transit facilities.

An immediate function of the new Department will be to undertake a review of the costs of transporting goods into and out of Northern Ontario.

The Department of Transportation and Communications will also develop a telecommunications policy for Ontario. This policy will ensure that the interests of the people of Ontario are fully represented in the developments associated with radio and television broadcasting, educational television, cable and special-purpose video, data transmission systems, telephone and telegraph services, and the use of the Telesat communications satellite.

The provision of a sound and efficient system of education is essential to the well-being of the people of Ontario. During the last decade, unprecedented expansion was required to meet an enrolment which doubled during a span of fourteen years. Very large expenditures were needed for additional accommoda- tion, more equipment and larger teaching staffs. During the Nineteen-Seventies tin- population of our schools can be expected to drop somewhat, allowing the (•overnment to concentrate its efforts and resources on the quality of our educational -Y^tem and to ensure that every child will have the opportunity to achieve his or her full potential.

A major development will be the concentration of all post-secondary education within a reconstituted Department of Colleges and Universities. The responsibilities of this Department will include, in addition to Universities, ( "lieges of Applied Arts and Technology and such other institutions as Ryerson Polytechnical Institute. Ryerson, which over the years has grown in stature and achievement, will be authorized to award a new type of degree which will reflect a pattern of accomplishment in which work experience is required in addition to the regular program of study. This would appear to be consonant

Elizabeth II 30xH MARCH

with the main thrust of the work of the Commission on Post-Secondary Education. The Government looks forward to receiving, within the year, the report of the Commission dealing with the further development of post- secondary education in Ontario in the Nineteen-Seventies and Nineteen-Eighties.

It is imperative that our resources be husbanded so that full value is received for the investment made in all levels of education. Current restraints are now stabilizing the operating costs of the school system. As the Province assumes a greater share of the local cost of education and provides increased money to post-secondary schools, further steps will be taken to ensure that our financial resources are used to the best advantage to provide a continued high standard of education. This is a goal that is both essential and practicable.

The Government is concerned about the problems encountered by the people of rural Ontario as our countryside changes in response to popu- lation pressures, technology, urbanization and recreational demands. Steps will be taken to resolve the difficulties related to farm assessment and inequities in property taxation. To help relieve these inequities, the Government will continue its efforts, in co-operation with its municipal partners, to lighten the burden of real estate taxes. The capital grants program of the Department of Agriculture and Food will be expanded and revised to more adequately reflect the requirements of Ontario farmers.

One of the crucial tasks in the coming decades will be to ensure that the land of the Province, particularly in and around urban and recreational areas, is preserved in the interest of future generations. The Government intends to create a new land bank program. This will be a major instrument in the implementation of regional development, recreational, housing, transportation and urban development plans.

It is the Government's conviction that the expanding regulatory and administrative apparatus of the state must be accompanied by continually expanding safeguards for the civil rights of individuals. Measures to further enshrine such rights in the Statutes of Ontario will be brought forward. These will be related to procedures and the rights of individuals before the boards, commissions and tribunals established by the Legislature and the exercise of administrative discretion.

The Government will accelerate its program of consumer protection to provide assistance and guidance to our people in dealing with today's complex market place. Uniform inter-provincial legislation is being developed, as are policies and practices in the area of consumer protection, securities and insurance legislation.

New policies designed to promote a more efficient, economical and compre- hensive system of delivery of health services will be brought forward during this Session.

8 30TH MARCH 1971

In a society which has concentrated on material and economic growth, the development of our culture must also be encouraged. Living in Ontario are people of virtually every national and cultural heritage, including our native people, all sharing their strengths with others to create a dynamic multi-cultural family of people. The Government proposes to convene a congress of ethnic culture to encourage greater communication and inter-action between all groups within the Ontario family and between these groups and the Government.

Government can be successful in serving its constituents only if it is able to adapt and respond to their needs. Fundamental changes are planned to enable the Executive Council to meet the challenges of the Nineteen- Seventies and beyond and will be based to a substantial degree upon the detailed analysis now being undertaken by the Committee on Government Productivity.

Initial attention is being given to the activities and structure of the Executive Council itself. To confer reasoned flexibility upon its policy-making and management capacities, a number of committees of Cabinet will be created to deal expeditiously with the co-ordination of policy in a number of related areas. Two major committees will be established by statute. One will deal with policy and priorities and will ensure by continual review that established policies and expenditures remain relevant to the needs and wishes of the people. This committee, assisted by a strengthened secretariat, will provide a vehicle to deal thoroughly with specific policies. The other committee will incorporate advanced management techniques and the traditional role of The Treasury Board. In this way the Legislature will be guaranteed levels of administrative accountability and executive competence fully commensurate with the sophisti- cation and complexity of these times. In addition, a small number of functional committees of Cabinet will be created to better integrate the multitude of Government programs in broad fields of policy.

The changes in departmental responsibilities which have been described are the beginning of a restructuring of the departmental design of the Government of Ontario which will be undertaken in the months and years immediately ahead.

Priority will continue to be given to constitutional review. The Ministry will work with other governments to produce early agreement on a revised constitution and mechanism of amendment which will be fully compatible with the needs and conditions of Canada in the Nineteen-Seventies and beyond.

A highlight of this Session will be the opening of Ontario Place, now being completed on man-made islands in Lake Ontario. Ontario Place is a showcase of the achievements and aspirations of the people of our Province. It will be a major cultural and recreational centre for all of Ontario. At the request of the Government, I extend a warm invitation to all Members of the Legislature and all residents of Ontario to join in ceremonies on May 22nd to officially open Ontario Place.

As this address has indicated, the new Ministry is fully aware of the existence in Ontario of many problems of a serious and urgent nature. Measures to deal with these matters have been described.

Elizabeth II 30TH MARCH

In conclusion, I ask the Members of this Legislature to assign proportion and balance to their assessment of problems by remembering the enormous evidence of accomplishment that is the handiwork of all the people of Ontario. In Ontario, successive Ministries have created machinery and implemented programs which have contributed substantially to the advancement of our society. More importantly, each individual has combined his intellect, skills and labour in the eternal search for a better and more rewarding life for all. But in acknowledging our problems, let us also take pride in our accomplishments. Let us have confidence in our capacity to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.

May Divine Providence guide you in your deliberations. God bless the Queen and Canada.

Bill Pr3, An Act respecting The Thunder Bay Foundation. Mr. Jessiman. Bill Pr22, An Act respecting Timothy Investments Limited. Mr. Gilbertson.

Before the Orders of the Day, Mr. Speaker addressed the House as follows :—

Last week the Member for Riverdale asked me to have research done to disclose whether it could be said to be a practice of this House that Ministers of the Crown be not included in the membership of the Standing Committees. This has now been done and I am pleased to share with the Members the interesting results of such research.

In 1946 the membership of Ministers on Standing Committees was quite large ; twelve on each of two committees, ten on two others, nine on four, eight on one and four on two. It is to be noted that the Prime Minister of the day was a member of all Standing Committees. This practice and pattern continued for some years and it is interesting that in 1949 when the Standing Committee on Privileges and Elections was very active, it was under the chairmanship of the Honourable Leslie M. Frost, the Treasurer. In 1950 there appeared to be some effort to reduce the size of the committees. However, the number of Cabinet Ministers on such committees was still very high, only two having as few as two Ministers and several having six and seven. The Prime Minister of the day was on two committees. In more recent times it is to be noted that the number of committees had grown to seventeen and that there were still as many as six and seven Ministers on several of the committees. Moreover, the number of Ministers on the other committees actually appeared to have increased since 1950. It was in the session of 1964 that the practice of omitting most Ministers from the committees started. I am advised that the reason for this was that the committees were smaller and the striking committee felt that the Ministers, who might find difficulty in attending because of their work load, should give place to the private members who were anxious to serve. However this was certainly not a consistent practice as Ministers have served on committees from time to time since that date.

No foundation can be found for the contention that it is a common parliamentary practice to omit Ministers from membership on committees. It is obvious that in jurisdictions where the balance between the government side and the opposition is close, it would be impossible for the government party to man the committees if Ministers were excluded. It is interesting to observe that in Manitoba it is not only the practice to include Ministers on committees in the present closely balanced Legislature, but, in fact, this has always been the practice since the creation of the province. An even more interesting practice is that in the past almost all standing committees in Manitoba have been chaired by members of the Cabinet and in the present Parliament this practice continues, at least with the committee charged with legal affairs which is chaired by the Attorney General.

It seems to be the antithesis of our parliamentary system to suggest that Ministers should not be on committees. Under our system they are chosen from among the Members of the House so that they will be responsive and responsible

28 15TH APRIL 1971

to the House and to bar them from one of the most important functions of the House would be inconsistent. It must be remembered that the Ministers have a dual function, and that as Members of the Assembly they have the same duties, rights and privileges as all other members.

The Order of the Day for Second Reading of Bill 10, An Act to amend The Farm Products Marketing Act, having been read,

Mr. Stewart moved that the Bill be NOW read a second time, and a debate arising, after some time,

Mr. Nixon moved, seconded by Mr. Singer,

The debate continued.

Elizabeth II 20TH APRIL 35

Before the Order of the Day, Mr. Speaker delivered the following ruling:

Last week I was asked to look into the question of the powers of the new Standing Committees of the House, as authorized by Order of the House dated Wednesday, March 31st.

Before specifically referring to the new Committees, it seems desirable to review to some extent the powers and duties of the Committees prior to the new Order, with general reference to the Committee system under the Parlia- mentary system. Committees, both Standing and Select, under the Parliamen- tary system, as opposed to the congressional system, have always been confined in their activity to matters referred to them by the House. I draw your attention to the wording of the motion authorizing the Committees in previous Sessions, which said "which Committees shall severally be empowered to examine and enquire into all such matters and things as may be referred to them by the House, and to report from time to time their observations and opinions thereon". In a limited number of cases this reference was automatic ; for example, the Public Accounts of the Province stood automatically referred to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, as this was the purpose of the Committee's appointment. Similarly, when in recent years a new Committee was established on Government Commissions, after specifically referring certain Boards and Com- missions to the Committee at several Sessions, it became a practice of the House to regard all Boards and Commissions as standing automatically re- ferred to that Committee on its appointment. When the new Committee on Regulations was established by statute in 1969, that statute specifically pro- vided that all Regulations stand referred to that Committee on its appointment, with certain limitations, but also provides that the Committee "shall deal with such other matters as are referred to it from time to time by the Assembly". It will therefore be seen that under the previous system, while the limited subjects heretofore alluded to were automatically referred, any other matter required specific reference by the House before a Committee could examine or report thereon. It has been alleged several times that Committees instituted programs on their own initiative. This suggestion is not accurate. Committees did, from time to time, have informal programs, provided by the Departments, for the information of Members, but these were, as stated, informal, and could not in any way be described as investigations, nor did they carry any authority to report.

Coming now to the new Committee setup, as authorized by the Order of March 31st, 1971, when the proposal for this new setup was drafted for the Standing Orders Committee last Session, two types of reference were recog- nized. First, the Public Accounts and Regulations Committees remained unchanged and reference is automatic as previously mentioned. Secondly, to replace the previous Government Commissions Committee, Boards and Com- missions reporting through designated Ministers were automatically referred to three of the four main Committees, that is, the Legal Administration Committee has automatically referred to it all Boards and Commissions coming within the scope of the Departments of Financial and Commercial Affairs, Justice, Labour, Municipal Affairs and Provincial Secretary and Citizenship. The Human Resources Committee has automatically referred to it all Boards and Commissions within the scope of the Departments of Correctional Services, Education, Health, Social and Family Services and University Affairs, and

36 20TH APRIL 1971

the Natural and Physical Resources Committee has automatically referred to it all those Boards and Commissions coming within the scope of Agriculture and Food, Energy and Resources Management, Highways, Lands and Forests, Mines and Northern Affairs, Tourism and Information and Transport. All other matters — and I quote- "may be referred in the discretion of the House". This appeared to be clearly understood when the Resolution to authorize the Committees was debated at considerable length on March 31st, and unanimously agreed to. In any event, on re-examination, the provisions of the Resolution do not appear to be open to any question ; they seem to be abundantly clear.

To summarize in brief, the Boards and Commissions of the named Departments are referred to the Committees without further action by the House. Any other matter requires specific reference. However, I must say, and I consider this very important, that I can see no objection to a Committee, by a majority, passing a motion asking the House for authority to investigate a certain matter, or have a specific matter referred to it. It would then be brought into the House as a specific recommendation from that Committee and could be debated and decided in the House. If decided in the affirmative this would, of course, constitute the necessary referral of the matter to the Committee.

Mention has been made several times of the action of the Natural and Physical Resources Committee on Wednesday, April 14th. It appears on in- formation from the Chairman and Clerk of the Committee that no formal motion was, in fact, made. Simply, on the suggestion of the Member for Huron-Bruce, it was agreed to ask the Ontario Food Council to come before the Committee. In any event, whether or not there was a formal motion, the Ontario Food Council is, I take it, one of the Boards which comes under the Department of Agriculture and therefore stands automatically referred to that Committee.

On a point of order it was asked why the Human Resources Committee did not report the motion passed last Wednesday. Had the motion been worded as I have suggested, to ask the House for authority, and the motion had been passed by the majority of the Committee, it would of necessity have been brought to the House as a recommendation from the Committee for decision by the House. However, as it proposed action by the Committee without reference to the House, there was, I suggest, nothing to report. It is not the practice to report every motion passed in Committee, but only those that make a recommendation to the House or require some specific action by the House.

Finally, the Member for York South quite vigorously insisted I should state whether or not the Prime Minister has the right to make a unilateral ruling as to whether or not any matter is in order. The answer is obvious— neither the Prime Minister or any other Member has any such right, but when the Prime Minister or any other Minister is asked a specific question in the Question Period, he has, of course, the right to answer such question as he sees fit.

(c) establish a Take-over Review Board which would examine proposals for take-overs by foreign interests and work out methods of retaining Canadian control and protecting Canadian interests;

10. The failure of the Government to spur in particular the processing of Northern raw materials and the development of secondary and tertiary industry in the North by refusing to

(a) establish a Crown Corporation for mine exploration and development, and to force the pace of expansion through public enterprise, and, if appropriate, engaging in joint ventures with private enterprise already active in the mining sector ;

(b) establish a Northern Development Fund purposefully to direct an equitable amount of investment to the region ;

Elizabeth II 23RD APRIL 4jl

2. The failure of the government to propose and implement realistic measures of economy toward spiralling education costs consistent with the high quality of education and training required by our young people to fit them to compete in the nuclear age.

3. The failure of the government to adopt the appropriate policies and to implement the necessary action to ensure to those of our people engaged in agriculture a fair return for the contribution they make to the economy of Ontario.

4. The failure of the government to provide adequate hospital, nursing home and convalescent facilities to those of our people suffering from illness.

5. The failure of the government to extend financial aid to Separate education through grades XI to XIII.

6. The failure of the government to provide leadership to those engaged in local government, to recognize the disability they face in dealing with the high costs of administration and to inaugurate policies which would bring to reality a new partnership with the municipalities to replace the present autocratic approach and encourage local initiatives and autonomy.

7. The failure of the government to move toward decentralization of government services in order to bring those services into a closer contact with the people of Ontario.

8. The failure of the government to adopt consistent and realistic policies to control pollution, arrest the deterioration of the environment, and to restore the benefits of clean air and pure water as the rightful heritage of the people of Ontario.

Before the Orders of the Day Mr. Speaker addressed the House as follows :—

On Thursday, April 15th, in response to a request from the Member for Riverdale, I made a statement with respect to the participation of Ministers of the Crown in Committees of the House.

In my previous ruling reference was made to the practice of the Province of Manitoba and the question was asked why other jurisdictions were not included. In answer to this suggestion, communication has now been made with all other jurisdictions in Canada, with the following result :

In Newfoundland Ministers are always on Committees. While at the time that communication was made the Standing Committees for the present Session had not yet been struck, it is interesting that three of the five Members of the Striking Committee are Ministers. There also exists at the present time a Select Committee on Fisheries, of which two of the seven Members are Ministers.

In Prince Edward Island Ministers are always included in Committees, usually at the ratio of two out of six.

In Nova Scotia, on the latest Public Accounts Committee, there are two Ministers, and on other Committees there is usually one Minister out of seven Members.

Elizabeth II 2?TH APRIL 45

In New Brunswick Ministers are on all Committees, except the Public Accounts Committee, usually at a ratio of one Minister in every four Members.

In Quebec Ministers are on Committees, the only ruling being that a Minister may not be Chairman of a Standing Committee.

Manitoba was covered in my previous ruling.

In Saskatchewan there is no hard and fast rule. Ministers are on some Committees in the same way as other Members of the House. At the present time there are three Ministers on the Education Committee out of twenty-four; five of the twenty-six Members on the Law Amendments Committee are Ministers; one Minister is on the eleven-man Public Accounts Committee; two of the five Members of the Select Striking Committee are Ministers.

In Alberta it is the regular practice to have Ministers on Committees. At the present time seven out of twenty-five Members of the Privileges and Elections Committee are Ministers; seven out of twenty-five on the Law and Regulations Committee; six out of thirty-five on the Public Accounts Committee; seventeen out of sixty-four on the Public Affairs, Agriculture and Education Committee, and nine out of twenty-eight on the Private Bills and Printing Committee.

In British Columbia Ministers are put on the Committees as a matter of course, on the same basis as other Members of the House.

Even in the House of Commons of Canada, where the very large number of Members makes the participation of Ministers less necessary, there is no hard and fast rule. While Ministers are omitted from the majority of the Committees, there are very frequent occasions when Ministers are included.

The Member for York South appeared to think that there was some reason for starting the previous research into the practice of this House in 1946- As I explained at the time, this was done simply because 1946 marked the even quarter century. However, to resolve the Honourable Member's doubts, research has now been completed from Confederation, and it has been found that the participation of Ministers in the years from 1867 to 1945 has been consistent. For example, in the Session of 1867-68, there were four Standing Committees in which Ministers were represented in the numbers 5, 3, 3 and 1, the Prime Minister being on three of these Committees. It is also interesting that the Prime Minister chaired the Striking Committee. In the Session of 1868 the number of Standing Com- mittees was increased to five, the new Committee being the Public Accounts Committee, on which the Treasurer was a Member, and the Prime Minister continued to sit on three Committees. Over the ensuing years the pattern remained consistent, Ministers being represented on almost all Committees, and the Prime Minister very often being a Member of many Committees. In the Session of 1923, during the Drury Ministry, it is to be noted that the whole Cabinet were Members of the Private Bills, Municipal Law and Public Accounts Committees. During the Liberal regime of the 1930's and early 40's, the practice remained unchanged. The Prime Minister was on all Committees and the whole Cabinet was on the Public Accounts Committee.

46 27TH APRIL 1971

The following Bill was read the second time :—

Bill 28, An Act to amend The Planning Act. Ordered for Committee of the Whole House.

The House resolved itself into a Committee to consider a certain Bill and, after some time therein, Mr. Speaker resumed the Chair, and the Chairman reported,

That the Committee had directed him to report the following Bill with one amendment :—

Bill 28, An Act to amend The Planning Act.

Ordered, That the Report be now received and adopted.

The following Bill was read the third time and passed :- Bill 28, an Act to amend The Planning Act.

The House, according to Order, resolved itself into the Committee of Supply.

(In the Committee] THE EVENING SITTING

8.00 O'CLOCK P.M.

Mr. Speaker resumed the Chair; and the Chairman reported, That the Committee had come to a certain Resolution ; also, That the Committee had directed him to ask for leave to sit again.

Ordered, That the Report be received.

Resolved, That the Committee have leave to sit again.

Elizabeth II 2?TH APRIL 47

The Honourable the Lieutenant Governor of the Province entered the Chamber of the Legislative Assembly and took his seat upon the Throne.

Mr. Speaker addressed His Honour in the following words :— "May it please Your Honour:

The Legislative Assembly of the Province has at its present Sittings thereof passed a certain Bill to which, in the name and on behalf of the said Legislative Assembly, I respectfully request Your Honour's Assent."

The Clerk Assistant then read the title of the Bill that had passed as follows :—

"The following is the title of the Bill to which Your Honour's Assent is prayed :

Bill 28, An Act to amend The Planning Act."

To this Act the Royal Assent was announced by the Clerk of the Legisla- tive Assembly in the following words:

"In Her Majesty's name, the Honourable the Lieutenant Governor doth assent to this Bill."

His Honour was then pleased to retire.

The following Sessional Papers were Tabled :—

Statement on 1971-72 Capital Support Program for Ontario Universities; Statement on Operating Support for Provincially assisted Universities in Ontario for 1971-72 and 1972-73 (No. 33).

74 20TH MAY 1971

Mr. Speaker delivered the following ruling:

"On Tuesday last the Member for Scarborough West attempted, under the Routine Proceedings, to move a motion to refer certain matters to a Standing Committee. I ruled that this motion could only be accepted as a Notice of Motion for the Notice Paper, to be called in the usual way in the Private Members' Hour. The Member for Windsor West suggested that this did not apply to motions moved under the Routine Proceedings. I have now carefully examined our Standing Orders and had an opportunity of comparing our procedure in this area with that of the House of Commons of Canada. I find their procedure is identical with ours in that, as the word routine implies, only routine motions with respect to the management of the House can be moved under this Routine Proceeding. As the definition of such routine motions is not specifically covered in our Standing Orders, I find the Canadian House of Commons Standing Order 32, subsection 1, clause (p) helpful. It refers to motions "made upon Routine Proceedings, as may be required for the observance of the proprieties of the House, the maintenance of its authority, the appointment or conduct of its officers, the management of its business, the arrangement of its proceedings, the correctness of its records, the fixing of its sitting days or the times of its meeting or adjournment." I was also very interested to discover that my ruling of Tuesday last is supported completely by a ruling of the Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada on Tuesday, May 2nd, 1961 . In that case Mr. Martin, Member for Essex East, seconded by Mr. Mcllraith, moved, "That the Annual Report of the Governor of the Bank of Canada to the Minister of Finance and Statement of Accounts for the year 1960 be referred to the Standing Committee on Banking and Commerce for study." After reviewing the Standing Orders and the precedents as found in Bourinot and Beauchesne, the Speaker ruled that the only course open to a Private Member to bring in such a motion, is to use the Notice of Motion procedure, which involves the giving of written notice — 48 hours in their rules. The notice would then appear on the Order Paper to be dealt with in accordance with their Standing Orders. Two of Mr. Speaker's quotations from Beauchesne I found to be particularly helpful, as follows:— Firstly, "It is a fundamental rule that with the exception of certain matters dealt with under Routine Proceedings, no question can be considered by the House unless it has been previously appointed either by a notice or a regular order of the House." Secondly, "All motions referring to the Business of the House should be introduced by the Leader of the House."

For these reasons I find that my ruling on Tuesday was correct, and that only routine motions, as described, can be moved under the Routine Proceedings, by the Government, and should be moved by the House Leader. It is true that on two occasions recently, motions by Ministers to refer matters to Standing Committees were accepted under this procedure, but I have no hesitation now in saying that that was incorrect. Some justification might be offered as they were quite brief motions in general terms, moved by the Ministers whose Departments were concerned, in answer to requests from the Opposition. However, I now serve notice that, in future, such motions, even from the Government, will require the usual notice, will be placed on the Notice Paper under the heading "Government Motions", and, of course called in the discretion of the House Leader, as provided in Standing Order 24. In any event, I do not consider the two recent cases to which I have referred as forming a precedent for the introduction by a Private Member of a lengthy and complex resolution, such as that posed by the Member for Scarborough West, and I confirm my previous ruling that this must go on the

Elizabeth II 20xH MAY 75

Notice Paper as provided by Standing Order 32 (a), and could only be called in the Private Members' Hour, as provided in Standing Order 26 (a). While it has been generally understood in this House that the routine procedure MOTIONS was available only to the Government, and then only for certain types of motions, there has never been a very clear line drawn between motions moveable under this procedure and motions which require notice. I am hopeful that the foregoing explanation and this ruling will clarify this situation."

The following Bills were introduced and read the first time :— Bill 49, An Act to amend The Securities Act, 1966. Mr. Wishart. Bill 50, An Act to amend The Statute Labour Act. Mr. Jackson.

SEVENTY-NINTH DAY

MONDAY, JULY 26th, 1971

PRAYERS 2.00 O'CLOCK P.M.

Before the Orders of the Day, Mr. Speaker delivered the following Ruling:—

On Friday last, during the discussion following the attempted presentation of the Public Accounts Committee Report, a suggestion was made that there is some inconsistency between my ruling with respect to this Report and rulings previously given respecting rulings by Chairmen of Committees. So that the record may be straight, I point out to the House that the two matters are completely unrelated, as a ruling by a Chairman of a Committee is made in the Committee and any appeal from such ruling is to the Committee, not to the House or the Speaker, just as in the House an appeal from the Speaker's ruling is to the House. However, when the Committee has passed a Report and the Chairman presents that Report to the House, the matter has then been brought within the purview of the House, and if the manner of presenting the Report offends the rules or precedents of the House in any way, then of course, the matter must be dealt with by the House and by Mr. Speaker as the presiding officer. I believe the Members will appreciate the difference and realize that there is no inconsistency in the way that these two separate and distinct situations have been dealt with.

The House resolved itself into a Committee to consider certain Bills.
