cedural tricks to grind down the business of the legisla- ture. From endless and repeated bell-ringing in response to purposely frivolous motions to playing games at com- mittee, it has become evident that both the PCs and the NDP are more interested in being obstructionist instead of focusing on working together to build a stronger On- tario.” Del Duca declined an interview with Ontario Construc- tion Report to clarify the indications about the Sept. 19 meeting confrontation, and the possibility as a result that RESCON would not suggest specific amendments that could allow the legislation to move forward. Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne responded to a question about Bill 69 by Conservative MPP Monte Mc- Naughton on Oct. 30 with a careful statement: “The bill will move through the normal course of the process in the legislature. There will be an opportunity for debate and a vote,” Wynne said. “I'm focused on making sure that we make the invest- ments in people and in infrastructure and in a business climate that's going to bring business to this province and is going to work with the private sector to create jobs. This piece of legislation will have its day in the House, and I look forward to the debate.” McNaughton asked a supplementary question, con- cluding: “Premier, it's obvious that you have no desire to move forward on prompt payment legislation. Have you told your MPP from Vaughan that his Bill 69 isn't going anywhere in your Liberal government?” Wynne deferred to government house leader John Milloy to respond: “The member is being a little mischievous,” Milloy told the legislative assembly. “He understands more than anyone that this is a private member's bill. It is right now before committee, and there will be an opportunity for discussion at committee. He knows that for private members' bills there is a tradition that their movement to third reading, when it does happen, happens after a discussion between the parties. As a result of agree- ments, his particular one came forward due to a pro- gramming motion that was put forward. There are others that have come from a consensus between the House leaders. He knows that that's the process to follow.” Laird, representing the ISCA, said he remains confi- dent that the legislation will move through the commit- tee stage and be passed in the spring. However, most private members bills do not become law.
