Legislative Bills lost in session

The Second Session of the 38th Parliament prorogued on June 5, 2007, and the government does not reconvene until after the fall election. More than 100 Member Bills will lose ground as a result. For example, Bill 12, No Tuition Hikes Act, 2005
Rosario Marchese , a Bill to freeze tuition at universities and colleges beyond that approved in the 2005/6 calender year, is now lost as it was only in First Reading. Bill 19, which amends the Education Act by permitting the minister to require that students complete no fewer than 60 hours of community involvement activities before receiving their Ontario secondary school diploma - has now been shelved. It seems an enormous waste to have these issues sent back to the drawing table but that is political reality. An explanation of what Prorogation means is on the home page of the Assembly. LMS
