The Ontario PCs will fast track Bill 197, an amendment to the Highway Traffic Act — likely to introduce or update road and traffic safety regulations, and Bill 194, the Enhancing Digital Security and Trust Act, a bill focused on strengthening digital security and privacy protections in Ontario.
Government House Leader Steve Clark introduced a motion in the house this Monday asking that both bills undergo Second Reading and committee review under strict timelines, which would fast-tracking them through the House.
The motion passed with 62 votes in favour. This means the bills will have a considerably shorter period of debates and input from the public and experts.
