are $21 million. Over the past three years, they have pursued federal and

provincial funding opportunities and in particular COMRIF. To date, their
application has been unsuccessful partly because the COMRIF secretariat has
determined that the cost per household does not fit their criteria. The

obtain funding from the upper tier governments for these important projects in

I - 17 Dale Mercer, President and Rocco Gerace, Registrar, The College of
Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario providing an overview of the actions that
the College has been taking to increase the number of licensed physicians in
Ontario and to convey their 2005 registration statistics. One of their top
priorities for the last few years has been to find creative ways to address the
lack of physicians in this province. Past initiatives have included the publication
of Tackling the Doctor Shortage, a discussion paper providing
recommendations directed to government and all stakeholders, including the
College, that were designed to increase access to physicians. Their initiatives
have included working with Ontario’s Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care,
the Government of Canada and other partners to develop new pathways for
foreign-trained physicians to become licensed to practice medicine in Ontario.
As a result, 2005 marked the second year in a row that the College granted
more medical licenses to International Medical Graduates (IMGs) than Ontario
medical school graduates. This included 1,082 certificates issued to IMGs,
graduating from 91 different countries. The total number of certificates issued
in 2005 was the highest annual total in 20 years. To increase the number of
physicians in Ontario, they continue to advocate for the government to increase
enrolment at Ontario’s medical schools and post-graduate training positions.
They are pleased that in 2006, the government allowed IMGs to apply for
residency positions in Ontario during their final year of medical school. This
included Canadian/Ontarian residents who were studying abroad. The College
is requesting that this policy is repeated in 2007.

forecasts.
I – 20 Ministry of the Environment advising that the McGuinty government has taken
another step to safeguard the province’s water supply by improving the rules
for drinking water systems. Testing and operating requirements have been
changed to be easier to follow, to provide more treatment options and reduce
costs for smaller systems. The changes will not compromise public health, but
will make operations more practical.

that it can receive 750,000 tonnes of garbage and 250,000 tonnes of
contaminated soil each year for the next 25 years. Greater Napanee Council is
not a willing host to this proposal. The position of the Council is that no

Whereas the proposed Ontario Clean Water Act is an enabling statute which outlines,
in a very general way, what will be done, how, and by whom, to protect current and

in the associated regulations; and
Whereas the Municipality of Clarington supports the concept of locally developed

Whereas the Ontario Clean Water Act, Bill 43, will affect rural landowners, farms,
business, conservation authorities and municipalities; and
Whereas the commodity groups representing agricultural producers have provided
input to the Provincial Government that has not been incorporated into Bill 43 and
should be included in the regulations; and
Whereas the proposed Clean Water Act could significantly disadvantage and cause
undue hardship for agricultural producers and may force producers to leave the
