Monitoring Policies: Bill and Emergency Measures

monitoring policies: Our government's first priority is the health and safety of all Ontarians, and Bill 195 is an important piece of legislation that protects each and every citizen during the pandemic, the premier's office said, according to CTV. Earlier in the day, Karahalios voted against moving forward with Bill 195, a bill that extended certain COVID-19 emergency measures such as closing public places, restricting gatherings and monitoring policies regarding long-term care homes. The premier's office confirmed that Cambridge MPP Belinda Karahalios is no longer a member of the PC caucus in a statement released on Tuesday evening. The proposed bill would also amend about 20 different laws, including legislation that governs Ontario's schools, municipalities and the province's justice system. At its core, Bill 195 takes away the legislature's ability to vote on the use of extraordinary emergency powers on Ontarians for the next year, she said. In a statement, Karahalios called the legislation an unnecessary overreach. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
