Oxford MPP Ernie Hardeman's bill to make Carbon Monoxide Detectors mandatory in all homes in the province has faltered once again. Hardeman this morning sought to have the bill fast tracked into law, but the motion failed to gain unanimous consent in the legislature. The "No"'s came from Premier Kathleen Wynne, and House Leader John Milloy. Although the bill failed in its bid for unanimous consent this morning, it is still alive and able to work its way through the legislative process. The bill has been introduced 5-times, and has passed second reading 3-times, without being passed the 3rd and final reading into law. The bill, called the "Hawkins-Gignac Act" is named after former Oxford OPP officer Laurie Hawkins and her family, who died of Carbon Monoxide poisoning in Woodstock in 2008.
