(By Jack Riddell, M.P.P.)
In October • 1975 a Select
Committee was • constituted to
review the Fourth and Fifth
Reports of the Ontario Com-
mission On the Legislature and to
advise on the implementation of
the recommendations contained
in these Reports. The First
Interim Report of this committee
was submitted to the Legislature
on -.1.Deeember 4th, 1975, and
adopted followng debate in the
House December 18th. Among
the accepted recesnmendations of
this First Interim Report was the
establishment of constituency
Offices for Members of the
Provincial • Parliament. Another
recommendation --that
permission be • granted-
television and radii.) coverage of
the proceedings of the
Legislature. This was permitted
during the spring session, and
has become a regular feature of
the Legislature's actifities.
The Second Interim Report. of
the Select Committee is, da ted
June22nd, 1976. This Report
could significantly change the
operation of the Ontario legis-
lature 'and the role of ,the
individual M.P.P: The "Morrow
Report" - so-called after the
Chairman of' the. Select
Committee. Donald Marrow
(P.C.), M.P.P., for Ottawa West -
contains recommendations in 17
key areas of operation of the
Legislature, many of which are
innovative and interesting.
Incidentally, the other members
of the Committee are Margaret
Campbell (St. George) and
Murray Gaunt (st-Itiron-Bruce) of
the Liberal Party, Michael
Cassidy (Ottawa Centre) and Elie
Martel „(Sudbury East ) of the
N.D.P.. and Lorne Maeck (Parry
Sound) with Robert Eaton
(Middlesex) for the Conserva-
tiv'es.
According to - the Interim
Report, - "the volume .' of
Government businesS, mini-
sterial expenditure estimates.
committee work and constituency
obligation place demands. „on,
Members' time that are, under
present circumstances, virtually
impossible to. meet". Because of
this situation. the Report
recommends - substantial re-
organization of Legislative
activity and an increase in —the.
total - number of Provincial
Members, from the present 125 to,
155, with a view to dealing more
effectively with the increased
Work load. Provision for a
'research assistant for each
elected Member
recommendation cf,-,4q.:kuilort •
This, combined with the smaller
Ridings which would result froni
increasing the total number of
Members, would facilitate bette?
representation of the people of
Ontario, and would also expand
the role of . liack-bench MP.Ps.
In addition, the Report
-recommends that the Question
Period of the Ontario Legislature
have a duration of one hour,
instead of the current 45 minutes,
with each Opposition PartyLeader
permitted two lead-off questions,.
and the remainder of the time
allocated to other questions on a
rotation basis among Members.
Such an arrangement would
enable a greater number of MPPs
to ask questions of the various
Ministers.
The Report further
recommends that one entire day
.-.be:set-a-side- for consideration of
Private .Member's --Bills. At
present. only one hour per week
is available for this purpose, with
each Party taking its turn, in
.'rotation. In effect. the "Morrow
Committee" suggests that all, day
Fridaybe used for discussion of
Private Member's Bills, which
should be allowed to come to a
vote. If one and one-half hour's
debate were allowed for each bill,
