后续动作！修法！为人民就业和生活！政府今天通过新法案
今日（3月19日），为应对疫情现状，本省政府召开紧急立法会议，并通过两项法案，堪称史无前例之举。 这两项法案目的如下：1）确保本省雇员在自我隔离和接受检疫时不会被解雇；2）帮助商铺供应充足；3）授予市议会权力，使其可灵活应对现状，因此市议会在开会时，人们便能保持安全社交距离，但又可以维持市议会正常运转。 今日到场的26名省议员无异议通过该两项方案。 Bill 1 《2020年雇佣标准修订案（传染性疾病突发状况）》 要点如下： 所有因新冠病毒而被隔离或受到检疫者，和所有因为学校或日托所关闭而在家照看孩子之人士，以及所有必须照顾亲戚之人士，不会因为因疫情休假而被解雇。 同时，该项法案清楚阐明，若雇员因疫情休假，则无须提供医生病假条。 BILL 2 《2020年市政紧急法案》 要点如下： 01关于噪音法和交付速度该法案将确保，相关人士在近期内向本省企业和消费者交付货物时，不会受各市《噪音法》之限制。原因是企业和消费者虽然急需货物，但货物交付时又会产生大量噪音，交付者为了不违法，将在无意中放慢交付速度。 02供应问题该法案将确保，重要货物例如食品、药物、必备家居用品将被尽快送达。如此一来，可保证货柜上必备药品和食物供应充足。 03市政会议该法案将确保，各市政当局在面对本地和全省范围紧急状况之时，有权召开市议会、董事会(local board)和委员会(committee)电子会议。此举将赋予市政当局足够权力，以便在面对面会议无法召开时快速应对。 英文原版 Today the Ontario government took unprecedented action to respond to COVID-19 by convening an emergency sitting of the legislature and passing two pieces of legislation which will protect the jobs of employees who self-isolate or quarantine, help keep store shelves stocked and give municipal councils the flexibility to continue operations while maintaining social distance. The legislation passed with unanimous consent by only 26 MPPs. Employment Standards Amendment Act (Infectious Disease Emergencies), 2020 Provides job-protected leave for employees who are in isolation or quarantine due to COVID-19, or those who need to be away from work to care for children because of school or day care closures or to care for other relatives. The legislation will also make it clear employees cannot be required to show sick notes. The Municipal Emergency Act, 2020 1. Will ensure that for the near future, the delivery of goods to Ontario's businesses and consumers isn't impacted by municipal noise by-laws that may unintentionally be impeding such deliveries when they are most urgently needed. 2. Our changes will help ensure that important goods – such as food, medication, and essential household items – can be delivered as efficiently as possible. This will help keep shelves stocked with necessary food and medication 3. The legislation also gives municipalities the ability to fully conduct Council, local board and committee meetings electronically when faced with local and province-wide emergencies, empowering the government's municipal partners to respond quickly when in-person meetings cannot be held. |
