This bill is being co-sponsored by MPPs Sol Mamakwa, John Vanthof and Lise Vaugeois.

Basically, the bill would make sure that the government brings the provision to ensure that 911 infrastructure is available throughout our province for landlines and cellphones, and that it also brings in call centre staffing supervision and training of staff to make sure that those calls are answered.

Finally, the bill amends the Ombudsman Act to establish the position of assistant Ombudsman so that people can make complaints against 911 if they are not satisfied with the services that they receive.

Supplementary question.

There being no further business this morning, this House stands in recess until 1 p.m.
