(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,
