It is generally agreed that these new rules have made a considerable improvement in the operation of the Legislature. The daily Question Period has been lengthened to one hour, and during this extended time more Members have been able to question Ministers about im- portant matters of concern. Also the Question Period is much improved because statements by Ministers are given in advance or at least simultaneously) to Opposition Members, making prompt and informed questions and responses possible. Any amendments proposed to legislation must be circulated in advance to the Members of the House, and access to background material is made available to Members on any government bill or policy statement. More thorough and detailed preparation of material for debates on the Ministry Estimates is possible, as the schedule for their consideration is established well in advance. Even the weekly order of business, as slated by the House Leaders, is given a formal and much wider distribution. This means -that participation in debates can be planned in ad- vance. One important change in the Rules of the House permits a Private Member's Bill to be voted upon and, if passed by a majority of Members, to be enacted into legislation. This means that, for the first time in Ontario, someone other than a member of the Cabinet may hope to have a Bill of his own become law. It has been very interesting to note how well this new system has worked. Each Member may gain the opportunity to have a Bill of his own choice debated. All that is necessary is to suhrtitt his name, and the selection as to the order of debate is made by means of a "lottery draw". Each week, during the session, two Private Member's Bills are debated, with each of the political parties taking a turn in sequence. Mr. Lorne Maeck, the Member for Parry Sound, was chosen first on the initial ballot, held for the Spring Session of the Legislature. Much to everyone's surprise, by an odd coincidence," he was chosen first again in the lottery for debate of Private Member's Bills in the Fall. His Bill to permit the withholding of Treatment where Death is Inevitable received second reading, but died on the Order Paper, when the Legislature was dissolved for the recent Provincial Election. He has not, to date, indicated whether or not he intends to reintroduce this Bill. The first Bill to receive the required three readings and to become law was legislation to allow advertising in weekly newspapers on the Thursday before a Provincial Election. This was passed unanimously on April 21, 1977. It was sponsored by Mr. Jack Johnson, the Member for Wellington-Dufferin- Peel. Her Honour, the Lieutenant Governor granted the Bill Royal Assent, and consequently, Mr. Johnson will go down in Ontario parliamentary history as the first person to have had a Bill passed as a Private Member. As I mentioned to you in my earlier Report, if twenty Mem- bers object to the legislation, a Bill will not proceed through the various stages of debate. Several controversial matters have been blocked in this way. One such Bill was to provide for greater Freedom of Information. It was felt that such legislation was not necessary at this point in time, as the Government had appointed a commission to study the matter. A proposed measure to en- courage the Government to establish a register of all lands owned by the Province, or any of its agencies, was found ac- ceptable. The register would include the date of the purchase, commissions paid, and the establishment of guidelines for future purchases. This resolution was felt to be in the spirit of the move toward increasing access to Government transactions. After a very interesting debate, the legislation was passed. As there were only three op- portunities to debate Private Member's Bills in the Spring Session, there is considerable interest in future developments in connection with this particular rule revision.
