        "content": "Here\u2019s how you can submit a written submission (also called a \u201cbrief\u201d) to the Ontario Legislative Assembly\u2019s Standing Committee on Social Policy regarding **Bill 101**. This is based on the most recent, publicly available rules and practices as of April 2026. Make sure to double-check the specific deadline and details once Bill 101 is in the committee stage.\n\n---\n\n## What is the Standing Committee on Social Policy\n\n- It\u2019s one of the Standing Committees of Ontario\u2019s Legislative Assembly. When a bill like Bill 101 passes Second Reading, it\u2019s referred to this committee. ([ola.org](https://www.ola.org/en/legislative-business/status-business/status-committee-business?utm_source=openai))  \n- Committees are the place where MPPs review the bill, hear public input, consider amendments, and then report back to the House. ([opencouncil.ca](https://opencouncil.ca/brief-legislative-committees/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## When you can submit\n\n- **After Bill 101 is referred to the Committee** (i.e., after it passes Second Reading). That\u2019s when the Committee begins public hearings or a review. ([ola.org](https://www.ola.org/en/legislative-business/status-business/status-committee-business?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Before the Committee\u2019s deadline** for written submissions. The Legislature sets a specific deadline in orders or committee notices. If you miss it, your brief may still become part of the public record\u2014but likely won\u2019t influence debate or amendment decisions. ([opencouncil.ca](https://opencouncil.ca/brief-legislative-committees/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## How to submit your brief\n\n1. **Format your submission**\n\n   - Your document should clearly state you\u2019re addressing the Standing Committee on Social Policy concerning _Bill 101_.  \n   - Include your name and contact info (organization, email, phone) so the Clerk can follow up. ([aodaalliance.org](https://www.aodaalliance.org/ontario-human-rights/tips-for-bill-107-public-hearings/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Be concise. Start with an executive summary of your main points and recommendations. ([opencouncil.ca](https://opencouncil.ca/brief-legislative-committees/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Use facts and evidence to support your positions. If suggesting changes or amendments to the bill, be specific. ([ourcommons.ca](https://www.ourcommons.ca/Procedure/guides/brief-e.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n2. **Check for any format or content guidelines**\n\n   - There might be specific requirements (e.g., page limits, styles) posted in the Committee\u2019s Notice of Hearings or on the Legislative Assembly\u2019s website under \u201cSubmit material to a committee.\u201d ([opencouncil.ca](https://opencouncil.ca/brief-legislative-committees/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Double-space, use numbered pages, clearly labeled sections\u2014these are often expected. ([incomesecurity.org](https://incomesecurity.org/ontario-budget-2026-have-your-say/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n3. **Submit via email or mail**\n\n   - Typically you send your written brief to the Clerk of the Committee. For Social Policy, the Clerk is (or has been) **Anne Stokes**. ([odacommittee.net](https://www.odacommittee.net/news196.html?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Address it to:  \n     **Standing Committee on Social Policy**  \n     Care of the Clerk (e.g. Anne Stokes)  \n     Room 1405, Whitney Block  \n     99 Wellesley St. West  \n     Toronto, ON M7A 1A2  \n   - Email address: anne_stokes@ontla.ola.org ([odacommittee.net](https://www.odacommittee.net/news196.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n4. **Submit by the deadline**\n\n   - The deadline will be listed in the Notice of Hearings for Bill 101. It may include a specific time (often 7:00 p.m. EST) on a particular date. ([ola.org](https://www.ola.org/sites/default/files/node-files/hansard/document/pdf/2024/2024-06/27-MAY-2024_SP046.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Occasionally amendments to bills must be submitted separately by another deadline. Keep an eye on those notices. ([ola.org](https://www.ola.org/en/legislative-business/status-business/status-committee-business?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## What happens after you submit\n\n- Your brief becomes a **public document**, available to MPPs and posted (or linked) via the Legislative Assembly\u2019s website. ([opencouncil.ca](https://opencouncil.ca/brief-legislative-committees/?utm_source=openai))  \n- The Committee will consider your views as they conduct hearings, possibly ask questions (if you\u2019re also giving an oral presentation), and take your recommendations into account in drafting amendments. ([opencouncil.ca](https://opencouncil.ca/brief-legislative-committees/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me the exact date when Bill 101 was referred to the Standing Committee (or the deadline notice you\u2019re seeing), I can help you find the **specific deadline** for submitting your written brief in this case."
