    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report March 8, 2019 Quotation of the day “Lisa, listen to us!” A woman yells at Children Services Minister Lisa MacLeod as she’s escorted from the chamber ​ ​ while hundreds descended on the south lawn in protest of the PC’s revamped autism system. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule MPPs are heading back to their ridings for the March Break constituency week. The House is adjourned until Monday, March 18. Thursday’s debates and proceedings MPPs considered Bill 74, People’s Health Care Act, before question period. The legislation to ​ ​ ​ ​ establish an Ontario Health super-agency needs roughly two more hours of debate before a second-reading vote can be called. A Tory backbench bill and motion, as well as inaugural Ontario Green legislation, chugged forward during the afternoon’s private members’ business: ● PC MPP Christine Hogarth’s Bill 65, Protecting Our Pets Act, will go under the ​ ​ ​ ​ microscope at the Standing Committee on Justice Policy. The bill would establish an advisory committee to report on the quality of care for companion animals kept for entertainment, breeding, exhibition, boarding, hire or sale. ● PC MPP Donna Skelly’s motion — calling on the government to design a plan to ​ ​ ​ ​ promote a no-cost program that encourages unwanted clothing and textiles be donated to local charitable and non-profit organizations — passed after debate. (Motions are non-binding but have symbolic value — and Skelly’s got a dedicated hashtag from the premier: “#DontDumpDonate.) ​ ​ ● Green Leader Mike Schreiner’s Bill 71, Paris Galt Moraine Conservation Act, to protect ​ ​ ​ ​ the drinking water supply in Guelph, Wellington County and Waterloo region, is off to be studied by the general government committee.

Much like the UN, the ICC brings representatives from all cricket-playing countries together to make administrative decisions about the future of cricket. Unlike the UN, however, not all countries have an equal input; the ICC decides which members are worthy of “Test” status (Full Members), and which are not (Associate Members). While the Council has experienced many successes, including hosting the prestigious World Cup and promoting cricket at a grassroots level, it also continues to receive its fair share of criticism, predominantly regarding the ICC’s perceived obstruction of the growth of the game within non- traditionally cricketing nations and prioritizing the commercialization of the sport over globalizing it.

  • Re the Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario May 7 2019
    Legislative Assemblée Assembly législative of Ontario de l’Ontario OFFICE OF THE INTEGRITY COMMISSIONER ~ REPORT OF THE HONOURABLE J. DAVID WAKE INTEGRITY COMMISSIONER RE: THE HONOURABLE DOUG FORD, PREMIER OF ONTARIO TORONTO, ONTARIO May 7, 2019 RE: THE HONOURABLE DOUG FORD, PREMIER EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report relates to a request made by Kevin Yarde, the Member of Provincial Parliament for Brampton North, under section 30 of the Members’ Integrity Act, 1994 (the “Act”) about the Honourable Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario and Member of Provincial Parliament for Etobicoke North. Mr. Yarde alleges that the Premier contravened sections 2 and 4 of the Act by approving a decision to have Brad Blair dismissed from his position as Deputy Commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police (the “OPP”). I found that there were insufficient grounds to conduct an inquiry into this matter. 1 I. BACKGROUND [1] On December 5, 2018, Mr. Yarde sent an affidavit to my Office in which he alleged that the Premier contravened the Act in regard to the appointment of Ron Taverner to the position of OPP Commissioner. I advised the Premier on December 17, 2018 that I was commencing an inquiry into that matter (the “Inquiry”). [2] On March 5, 2019, during the course of the Inquiry, Mr. Yarde sent a letter and a new affidavit (the “Affidavit”) to my Office in which he requested that I conduct an inquiry regarding the Premier’s alleged involvement in the termination of Brad Blair from his position as Deputy Commissioner of the OPP.

    THE HUMBER RIVER: THE 10-YEAR MONITORING REPORT FOR THE CANADIAN HERITAGE RIVERS SYSTEM October 2009 Lower Humber Valley, Toronto, TRCA, 2008 THE HUMBER CHALLENGE Our challenge is to protect and enhance the Humber River watershed as a vital and healthy ecosystem where we live, work and play in harmony with the natural environment. GUIDING PRINCIPLES To achieve a healthy watershed, we should: • Increase awareness of the watershed’s resources • Protect the Humber River as a continuing source of clean water • Celebrate, regenerate, and preserve our natural, historical and cultural heritage • Increase community stewardship and take individual responsibility for the health of the Humber River • Establish linkages and promote partnerships among communities • Build a strong watershed economy based on ecological health, and • Promote the watershed as a destination of choice for recreation and tourism The Humber River: The 10-Year Monitoring Report for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System i FRAGMENT: THE VALLEY Like a sweet wine flowing from the glass, the Humber of my boyhood years! First the stretch of the river valley as I knew it best, running south from Dundas Street to my beloved stone marvel of the Old Mill Bridge, a scant mile to the south, not forgetting to count a quarter-mile jog to the east halfway down to heighten the wonderment. What force of ten million years’ cunning erosion, the relentless path of an awkward giant carving out for himself great steps one by one as he strides on and on, thirsty now for a great cold draught of Lake Ontario water! What sheer-climbing cliffs with the history of planet Earth carved in each layer of shale reaching up a hundred feet from the shining valley floor, the littered rocks of the river ….
