		And provincial New Democrat Gilles Bisson said the jail was "totally dysfunctional inside," with no fire alarms or fire suppression systems, and padlocks and chains had to be used to keep inmates in cells because the cell door locks weren't working.
		Bisson, who happened to be in Kashechewan on Sunday and witnessed the blaze, said other Ontario reserve jails, including one in Attawapiskat, have similar structural problems.
		Bisson said the E. coli concerns and Sunday fire shows "it takes a tragedy, or some sort of a crisis to happen, before governments respond" to aboriginal issues.

		Mr Raminder Gill (Bramalea-Gore-Malton-Springdale): I think one of the analogies might be that close to where I live there's Erindale College, or there was Erindale College, which was, again, a satellite attachment to the U of T. Then it was later changed, perhaps for the same reasons, to University of Toronto, Mississauga campus.
		Mr Bisson: I just have one other question, to the clerk of the committee in regard to the work that was being done by, I believe, leg counsel or research with regard to some of the regulations the committee was working on.
		Mr Bisson: Well, I think it would be very interesting for us to travel to, let's say, Switzerland or somewhere to study parliamentary procedures of regulations and private bills in that fair country.

	Timmins-James Bay
		Gilles Bisson is a definite shoo-in after winning clear majorities since 1990.
		Couple this with Bisson's reputation under the NDP for helping save jobs in industry and mining and his close relationship with the miner unions, Falconbridge's local, and First Nations and Bisson is a shoe in.
		Anyway, Bisson loves being in opposition where he is free to lambaste the Tories but doesn't have to carry the baggage of the Rae government anymore.

		Earlier this week, Bisson met with officials from the town of Opasatika in order to give those affected by Tembec’s plan the chance to put their feelings on the record.

	NDP tells Ontario Liberals to cork LCBO privatization
		Toronto - The Ontario New Democratic Party is urging Ontario residents to mail Premier Dalton McGuinty a "bottle of boos" to protest talk of privatizing the hugely-profitable Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
		There is widespread speculation that Ontario is seriously considering LCBO privatization as a means of raising quick cash to deal with a $5.6-billion deficit left behind by the former Conservative government.
		Bisson says it's nonsensical to sell off the LCBO for a one-time windfall when the agency pours $975 million a year in revenue into government coffers.

		Last week, Liberal MPP Mario Racco (Thornhill) questioned Bisson's plan for gas price regulation and fair, stable and predictable gas prices in Ontario by saying the Maritime provinces - which regulate gas prices - have no industry and no jobs.
		Why would we rely on their system?" Bisson said those comments are unbecoming of someone in government.
