, would have made it impossible for individuals in arrears on child support payments to register their vehicles or renew their drivers' licenses. The second, a government bill, included the objectives of the first, but also took other measures, including ending a provision by which money held in a joint bank account could not be drawn upon to satisfy child support payments owed by one of the account-holders. The government bill passed with the support of the Progressive Conservatives and some Liberals
, including Sine Chadi
and Michael Henry. Other Liberals - including Gary Dickson
, Debby Carlson
, Bettie Hewes
, Mike Percy
, Percy Wickman
, Ken Nicol
, Nicholas Taylor
, and Colleen Soetaert
- opposed the bill on the grounds that it didn't go far enough in taking measures to recover payments, promoted animosity in an already adversarial process, and was written with insufficient consultation with the recently-privatized registries centres. After the government bill passed, the private member's bill was ruled redundant by Speaker Stanley Schumacher
.
Amery has introduced a number of private member's bills designed to extend primary education
to include kindergarten
, requiring school boards to provide it and making attendance compulsory. The first two of these - both called the School Amendment Act, sponsored in 1995 and 1997 - failed to reach second reading before the legislature adjourned. Amery's third attempt, the School (Early Childhood Services) Amendment Act, was defeated on second reading. Liberals
were unanimous in their support of the bill, pointing to similar bills that had previously been sponsored by Liberal MLAs Grant Mitchell
and Michael Henry. Several of Amery's Progressive Conservative Colleagues, including Mary O'Neill
, Albert Klapstein
, and Wayne Cao
, also lent their support. However, the bill was defeated on second reading with a majority of the P.C. caucus voting against. Victor Doerksen
, the only Conservative to speak in opposition to the bill, expressed concern that instituting mandatory attendance at the kindergarten level constituted an infringement on parental autonomy. New Democrat
Raj Pannu
, the only member of his caucus present for the vote, also opposed the bill, on the grounds that it would allow private groups to provide kindergarten with the approval of the Minister of Learning.
In 1996, Amery sponsored the Wildlife Amendment Act, a government bill that created a scientific committee to make recommendations on the designation of endangered and threatened species, expanded fish and wildlife agents' abilities to check for infractions of firearms regulations by hunters, and downloaded several government powers that had previously resided with the Lieutenant Governor
by Order in Council to the Minister of Environmental Protection. Some Liberals, including Duco Van Binsbergen
and Bruce Collingwood
