The provincial government adopt a model of full proportionate liability to replace joint and several liability. 2. Implement enhancements to the existing limitations period including the continued applicability of the existing 10-day rule on slip and fall cases given recent judicial interpretations and whether a one-year limitation period may be beneficial. 3. Implement a cap for economic loss awards. 4. Increase the catastrophic impairment default benefit limit to $2 million and increase the third-party liability coverage to $2 million in government regulated automobile insurance plans. 5. Assess and implement additional measures which would support lower premiums or alternatives to the provision of insurance services by other entities such as non-profit insurance reciprocals. 2 6. Compel the insurance industry to supply all necessary financial evidence, including but not limited to, premiums, claims and deductible limit changes which support its own and municipal arguments as to the fiscal impact of joint and several liability. 7. Establish a provincial and municipal working group to consider the above and put forward recommendations to the Attorney General; and That this motion be provided to the Premier of Ontario, Minister of Finance, Attorney General of Ontario, MPP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound and all municipalities in Ontario.

  • 2018 York Region Update on the Toronto/York Steeles Avenue
    Office of the Commissioner Transportation Services Memorandum To: Committee of the Whole From: Paul Jankowski, Commissioner of Transportation Services Date: June 7, 2018 Re: Toronto/York Steeles Avenue Agreement Update Kennedy Road to Ninth Line This memorandum provides an update on the Toronto/York Steeles Avenue Agreement. In December 2017, after many years of discussions, Toronto City Council endorsed the principles of a proposed agreement to implement long-awaited capital improvements to Steeles Avenue that will benefit both York Region and City of Toronto travellers. Council directed staff to work with Toronto to develop an agreement for Steeles Avenue from Markham Road to Ninth Line Road improvements to Steeles Avenue, from east of Markham Road to Ninth Line, were identified in the Individual Environmental Assessment study completed by York Region for the Donald Cousens Parkway to Morningside Avenue Link. In addition to widening Steeles Avenue to six lanes from east of Tapscott Road to Ninth Line, the study also recommends widening Ninth Line to four lanes from Steeles Avenue to Box Grove, and the extension of Morningside Avenue from Steeles Avenue south to the existing terminus at McNicoll Avenue, as a new four-lane road. The study was approved by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change on January 23, 2013. In giving approval to proceed with the undertaking, the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change imposed a number of conditions, one of which requires the development of a cost-sharing and implementation agreement with the City of Toronto. In June 2014, Council endorsed a set of principles to guide the development of a Steeles Avenue Agreement from east of Markham Road to Ninth Line.
