EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Explanatory Note was written as a reader’s aid to Bill 123 and does not form part of the law.  Bill 123 has been enacted as Chapter 10 of the Statutes of Ontario, 2013.

 

Subsection 4 (1) of the Executive Council Act provides for allowances for accommodation to be paid to Ministers whose principal residences are more than 50 kilometres from the seat of government in Toronto.  Subsections 64 (1) and 67 (10) of the Legislative Assembly Act provide for allowances for accommodation to be paid, in the same circumstances, to the leaders of the opposition and recognized parties and to members of the Assembly.  Amendments are made to restrict those subsections from applying to a member of the Assembly if every part of the member’s electoral district is 50 kilometres or less from the seat of government in Toronto.
