THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, JUNE 5, 2002 PAGE 3 Will opportunity knock for university? LNew four-part bill - doesn't guarantee passage of necessary legislation BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM -- The University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) is back in the queue, but there's no guarantee the legislation required required to make the Osliawa university a legal entity will be passed before MPPs adjourn for the summer. Dianne Cunningham, minister of training, colleges and universities, last Thursday introduced the four-part Post-Secondary Education Opportunity Opportunity Act, 2002, reintroducing bills that had received first reading in the last session of the legislature, including the University of Ontario Institute of Technology Act, 2002. Peter Hardie, executive assistant to MPP Chris Stockwell, the governing Tories' house leader, said in an interview interview Friday the spring session of the legislature is slated to end June 27 and the house is to reassemble for the fall session Sept. 23. "There are a number of other bills that have priority over that," he said. Mr. Hardie said the current session of the legislature was shortened because because of the Tory leadership campaign and noted whether the act will be passed in the next month is not a sure thing. He did not know when it would be brought forward for second reading. reading. "What we're going to need for this one (to be passed in this session) is co- GARY POLONSKY 'Cautiously confident' act will be passed through legislation. operation," said Mr. Hardie. The act to establish the university would have been passed in December if all three' political parties had agreed to bypass second reading and the committee committee process and move directly to third reading. However the New Democratic Democratic Party, while not opposing the bill in principle, did not favour passing the legislation without debate. Peter Kormos, NDP house leader, said in an interview the government could have brought the original act forward for second reading, but instead instead has made the process more difficult difficult by introducing a four-part bill. "The government introduced an omnibus bill this time, which is inherently inherently more difficult to deal with because because it covers more disparate ground," he said. "Quite frankly, an omnibus bill is more contentious with all oppositions than the original bill." Mr. Kormos said the government is going to have to be "prodded to move along here, one bill or the other. "For the constituents involved, I hope this government calls this for second reading as soon as possible. The .government has to establish its priorities; either Durham is a priority or it isn't." ; Gary Polonsky, UOIT and Durham College president, in an interview said he is "certainly hopeful and yes, cautiously cautiously confident" the act will be passed by the end of the session. "The government is aware that it has announced (the UOIT) over a year ago, that we are expected to be a major solution to the double cohort...," he said. "I believe that leadership and common sense will prevail." Mr. Polonsky expects it to be dif ferent this month than it was in December. December. "The NDP has told us they will not be obstructionist this time around, we have that in writing," he said. "We truly accept that they are people of their word, so I'm feeling at peace about that as well." Mr. Kormos defended the party against the claim they were "obstructionist" "obstructionist" in December, saying, "it's our job to debate." He said Mr. Polonsky was not helping matters with the remark. remark. "I'm sure that Mr. Polonsky would not want to be responsible for this bill being delayed," said Mr. Kormos. Mr. Polonsky said UOIT has hired its entire leadership team, chosen an architect and done a lot of other work to get ready for September 2003. "It's fair to say the non-passage of the bill in December has not slowed us down," he said. "But if that happens again, it will slow us down to the point that we will not be ready for the double cohort in 2003."
