| Abstract: | On 4 October 2000, Bill 119 (or the Red Tape Reduction Act, 2000) was introduced and received first reading in Ontario's provincial legislature. Like many of the other similarly titled bills the Harris government has introduced, Bill 119 proposes to change a long list of existing statutes in an effort to make Ontario more business friendly. Schedule G of Bill 119 sets out a mechanism whereby a viatical industry in Ontario would be made legal if a licensing scheme is first put in place by the Ministry of Finance. |
