"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. 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."
"Ford has been vocal over the past couple of months in his opposition to speed cameras, calling them a "cash grab" only meant to generate revenue for municipalities, but the communities themselves, as well as parents, police chiefs and researchers at the Hospital for Sick Children have said they save lives and should stay.

Ontario government plans to fast-track three bills and limit public input by stopping debate at second reading, bypassing committee stage and restricting third reading time. The red tape reduction bill would ban speed cameras, allow greater movement of workers—largely in health care—between provinces, and streamline the Clean Water Act. The labour bill would require automatic external defibrillators on construction sites and mandate job posting platforms to enable reporting of fraudulent advertisements. The emergency management bill defines roles and responsibilities intended to improve communication and coordination. Communities, parents, police chiefs and Hospital for Sick Children researchers say speed cameras save lives and oppose the ban.
