Ontario Premier Doug Ford's government is proposing to limit debate and avoid public input on three pieces of legislation, including one that would end the province's speed camera program.
Government House Leader Steve Clark is proposing to fast track a red tape reduction bill that includes banning speed cameras, a labour bill and an emergency management bill.
Clark's proposal indicates the government plans to stop any further debate at the second reading stage for the three bills, then entirely bypass the committee stage that usually follows – a time to hear from the public on the bill and make any amendments – and limit debate time for the final, third reading stage.
