    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report October 16, 2018 Today at Queen’s Park ............................................................................................. 1 Today’s events .......................................................................................................... 3 Topics of conversation .............................................................................................. 4 Appointments and employments ............................................................................... 5 Question period ......................................................................................................... 6 Quotation of the day “Climate change is real, and we are addressing it, but we are addressing it with an effective made-in-Ontario plan … Our plan will deal with the impacts, unlike the previous government’s.” In question period Environment Minister Rod Phillips boasts the government’s forthcoming plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ahead of the Tuesday release of an FAO report on the cost of cancelling the Liberals’ cap-and-trade program — and smack dab in the middle of public hearings on the legislation that kills it. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The House will convene at 9 a.m. The government could call any one of the following pieces of business in morning debate: • Bill 32, Access to Natural Gas Act; • Bill 34, Green Energy Repeal Act; or • The government’s motion amending the standing orders. In the afternoon the government is scheduled to call Bill 36, Cannabis Statute Law Amendment Act, for third reading debate. Bill 36 cleared clause-by-clause committee at the Standing Committee on Social Policy Monday afternoon. Only one amendment from the majority-Tory side was moved and carried; it clarifies individuals can have up to 30 grams of dried cannabis on them, which is outlined in federal legislation. 2 October 16, 2018 Monday’s debates and proceedings PC MPP Parm Gill and NDP MPP Gurratan Singh held back-to-back press conferences Monday morning to announce competing private members’ bills.

    May 21, 2019 The Honorable Christine Elliott Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Hepburn Block 10th Floor 80 Grosvenor Street Toronto, ON M7A 1E9 Dear Minister Elliott: Urgent provincial action needed to address the potential health and social harms from the ongoing modernization of alcohol retail sales in Ontario On behalf of the Windsor-Essex County Board of Health we are writing to you in support of Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit’s request to the Government of Ontario to develop a comprehensive provincial alcohol strategy to mitigate harms and monitor the health impacts of the increasing access and availability of alcohol in Ontario. Annual costs directly attributed to alcohol-related harms in the form of health care, law enforcement, lost productivity, premature mortality and other alcohol-related problems, are estimated at $5.3 billion, contributing to a significant burden on Ontario’s health care system. Research evidence shows that policy tools designed to influence drinking levels and patterns can reduce disease, disability, death and social disruption from alcohol. It is well established that increased alcohol availability leads to increased consumption and alcohol–related harms. We agree with the SMDHU’s belief that a comprehensive, provincially led alcohol strategy can help mitigate the potential harms of alcohol use, and thereby encourage the government to develop a provincial strategy to include education and awareness campaigns, enforcement of alcohol marketing regulations and improved monitoring systems to track alcohol-related harms. The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit thanks you for your consideration. Sincerely, Gary McNamara, Chair Theresa Marentette Chair, Board of Health Chief Executive Officer Encl: SMDHU Letter to Christine Elliott, MOHLTC c: Premier Doug Ford Ontario Boards of Health Loretta Ryan, Association of Local Public Health Units Dr.
