It is my duty to speak up on behalf of my constituents in Durham East. It is also my duty to communicate the policy policy information that I am a part of at Queen's Park. We have a difficult agenda ahead, to correct the serious over spending that has virtually crippled Ontario. I know I have written much about our $100 billion debt and the almost $12 billion deficit, which we inherited inherited from the previous government. government. The NDP found it easier to go about the province giving avyay money that ' it did not have. It is far more difficult to go about the province taking back those unfunded promises. You cannot spend more than you cam, and the same is true for the province. Your government government is trying to find a balance. balance. We were elected to balance balance the budget and make the necessary changes, which will return Ontario to its rightful place as the province which offers offers hope and opportunity to all. Let me assure you that I will be there representing the people people of Durham East to the very end. I want to thank the many people who have called to encourage encourage me over the past week. It is my honour, privilege and duty to work for you at Queen's Park. I need your support support as we move forward to balance the budget and restructure restructure service delivery in Ontario. Ontario. This is a five year plan. Durham is a rapid growth area in Ontario. In healthcare, education or services for children, children, I constantly hear that we are under funded on a per capita capita basis. It is my responsibility to present the needs of my area. Toronto spends more per capita, in almost every area of Report from Queen's Park John O'Toole Durham East MPP government, than does Durham. Durham. It would be wrong of me to not defend the very people who elected me. As I recognize the pressures of growth, I was pleased to represent the Minister Minister of Education at the opening of three new schools in my riding. riding. Newcastle Public School, Ecole Catholic St. Charles Gar- neir in Whitby and Dr. Ross Tilley in Bowmanville are "new growth" related schools, which will serve to educate our children into the future. I am anxious that funding will soon be there for a new St. Stephen's Stephen's Secondary School in Bowmanville and the much needed Courtice West School. I have also been working with the Minister of Health to secure secure the growth funding recognition recognition for our six hospitals in Durham. Bill 59, the Automobile Insurance Insurance Rate Stability Act, came into effect on November 1st, 1996. We made a commitment during the election to bring some fairness to the no-fault auto insurance of the previous government. Bill 59 restores the right to sue for economic loss, while preserving basic no-fault accident benefits. This legislation also provides stronger tools to to control fraud and over compensation. It also ensures that drivers with minor lapses in coverage will not face steep rate increases. I would encourage you to contact contact your insurance broker to ensure your premiums reflect the coverage you want. The new "Power of Attorney Kits" are available in my office. office. The new legislation reflects reflects amendments to the previous previous "Substitute Decision Act of 1992".

I am proud to be able to say that my oldest son is a member of the Canadian Military, Military, serving in the Air Force. There is a private member's bill at Queen's Park that would make Remembrance Day a holiday. holiday. I voted against it because, often people just take a break on our other holiday weekends and may not stop to reflect on the purpose of the day. On November November 11th, people in offices, schools and at cenotaphs stop for a moment of reflection at precisely 1100 hours. When the bugle sounds its last blast, people are silenced together. I have watched the expressions of those gathered, everyone is moved, if even just for a shared moment of silence. I like the tradition the way it is. It is important to stop and remember, remember, perhaps your thoughts will linger for more than just a moment. As I reflect on the week past and look forward to the weeks ahead, I recall an expression which speaks to our resolve on certain issues: "Before you put your foot down, be sure you have a leg to stand on."

This is an initiative to persuade persuade downtown Toronto landlords landlords to turn out the lights in the office towers during migratory migratory bird season (September- November). Of the millions of birds killed after colliding with buildings, at least 10,000 would be saved if 50 buildings in the downtown downtown core joined FLAP. About 200 species of birds migrate at night and become disoriented once they get into the bright light and can't fly out of it. Night workers are encouraged encouraged to use task lighting instead instead of overhead fluorescent tubes. Timers have been in stalled in some buildings along with the distribution of bulletins bulletins asking employees to dim ' the lights when they leave.
