Description
The winter recess was interrupted when the Ontario Legislature was re-called on Sunday, January 25, 2009 to deal with a labour dispute between York University and its teaching assistants. The Minister of Labour, Peter Fonseca, introduced Bill 145, An Act to resolve labour disputes between York University and Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 3903. The bill was debated over five days and received Third Reading and Royal Assent on Thursday, January 29. Something about the House sittings during this period was different--even casual observers of the proceedings noticed that each morning the Sergeant-at-Arms led the Speaker's Procession carrying, and laying on the Clerk's Table, the first Provincial Mace that was used in 1792 in Upper Canada's first Parliament at Newark (now Niagara-on-the-Lake). It is made of pine and weighs only 2.5 kilos, about a third of the weight of the 'regular' Mace, in use since 1867.
