Taylor, M.P.P. Simcoe Centre On Tuesday, June 10, the Ontario Govern- ment's Bill 47, a Bill that would provide a framework for review of complaints against the police in Metropolitan Toronto, was defeated in the Legislature by a combined vote of the Liberal and New Democratic Parties. This defeat was not a comment on the com- petence of the Ontario Government, it was merely a result of the frustrations of minority parliaments. Bill 47 stood and fell on its own merits. The reputation and capacity of the Ontario Govern- ment has been neither challenged nor questioned by the defeat of Bill 47. Personally, I was disappointed by the defeat of the Bill as it was drafted in response to widespread demands in the Toronto area for a civilian review of police activities, particularly in situations where complaints have been made against officers for unnecessary use of force, illegal searches, racial insults and the like. The Bill proposed that following a complaint against an officer, the police would have 30 days to investigate the charge and make a ruling before a civilian review commissioner examined the case. If the civilian com- missioner was in any way dissatisfied with the police investigation or its ruling, an in- dependent investigation could be ordered following the initial 30- day period. Opposition The opposition parties agreed that there is a need for a_ review process of complaints against. the police, however they put for- ward the view that the civilian commissioner should be involved in the process much earlier than the 30 days stipulated in the Bill. Ontario's Attorney- General Roy McMurtry, while sympathetic to the opposition's argument, stuck to his principles. He trusts the police to be able to criticize their own activities and to take necessary action against officers whose conduct reflects against the force as a whole. Bill 47 was the result of long negotiations with the Toronto police, the legal community and those concerned with the protection of individual rights. While it was designed to meet the specific needs of the Toronto area it was hoped that it would have served as a model of legislation for other communities. As a result of Wed- nesday's vote, Ontario is without a procedure for review of complaints against the police. While I, and all the elected members of the party of which I am a part, have worked to make minority government a success, in cases like this where there is an important principle at stake, the result is no result at all. In the past we have seen delays in the Child Welfare Act, delays on measures to improve occupational health and safety, delays on a Bill that would amalgamate the Ministry of Education with Colleges and Universities. In situations where there is a- pressing social need requiring immediate Government action, the minority situation in the Legislature has served only to reduce the ef- fectiveness of the Government response or prevent any response at all If Government is to be more supple and ef- fective in Ontario, it should not be the hostage of the two op: position parties. If Government is to really serve the people of our Province in the coming decade, it needs the strength of majority support in the Legislature.
