' • .Constructive Proposals Public Interest Speaking over the C.B.C.--network Friday . night, July 16thLeslie M. Frost, M.P.P, for Victoria and Haliburton, one of the' . outstanding Progressive Conservative mem- bers in the Ontario' Legislature, emphasized the fact that the 22 -point ,program recently enunciated by George Drew, Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, was the product of extended 'consultation :.with .his followers.; and that it was unanimously adopted=-at=a largely attended meeting of party candidates and officials from all over Ontario held at the Royal York Hotel. on Saturday, July 3rd. Not only this, said Mr.Frost, the plat - 'form given out after that meeting was the • natural sequence and outcome of construc- tive proposals made in the legislature by Mr. Drew and his associates. Ever' since the war began the Opposition, led by Mr. Drew, has •at each session, put forward a series of .resolutions conceived in the public interest. These . proposal's, added the member for Victoria and Haliburton, have been either voted down at the instance of the Liberal' Government or declared out of order by a Liberal'Speaker.• . .

(b) To n eet emergencies created by the • • war.

Voted down by the Liberals including Nixon. • • • TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING -. -The advisability of planning 'beforeha, for postwar recovery was again pressed up the House by the Opposition in a resoliiti which read: That the proposed " St'.

The Opposition renewed the attack with this further resolution: The members of this legislature express their regret that the Government has failed to meet the critical needs of our agricultural producers; and they insist that the Government immediately take whatever steps are necessary to assure stability of prices, and an adequate supply of manpower and machinery for the rapidly increasing demands of war • production.

RECONSTRUCTION PLANS In the late session of the Legislature (19f3) the Opposition kept up the pressure for action by submitting this resolution.— This House regrets that the Liberal Government has introduced no legisla- tion to provide' for the re-establishment " in civilian occupations of the, members of our forces, for after war reconstruc. tion, and for work, wages, and socials'. The Liberals, ncluour dingle. MMr. Nixon, voted this down. Still on the same drive for action the Opposition proposed; That the Government should undertake (with special reference to the constitu- tional relationships between the Doinin- ion and Provincial Governments) a sur- vey of existing social schemes here and elsewhere; and with due regard to the probable course of events after the war, make recommendations for a ,unified workable plan which 'will assure . a proper standard' of work, wages, health, education, and living standards, for all our people—with specialrefer. once to the re-establishment of the men that the Hydro Electric Power ommission Act be amended immediately to equalize rates for electric energy and remove the present service charge in rural areas, TO MEET FUEL SHORTAGE ° III to dile Legislature of the Province and as Opposition Leader offered to assist the Government in carrying them out.

FINANCIAL PROTECTION FOR SOLDIERS The next. Resolution, introduced by the Opposition at the recent session of the House, proposed that all members of the Canadian Armed Forces from Ontario should be given effective legal protection against the normal economic consequences of their service;" and that all those, whgse • ability to meet their financial obligations has been materially reduced by such service, should•be sheltered against the forfeiture of instalment contracts, cancellation of life insurance policies up to $1.0,000.00, and judgments or other legal proceedings for debts incurred before entering military. service. The .resolution stated that this protection should be extended on the express condition that those able to pay should not be encouraged to evade their obligations. The deferment rather than the cancellation of obligations was suggested so' that justice might be assured. Instead of voting down this resolution the Liberal Attorney -General stated that this proposal had been taken up with the Federal Government But up to the present .time no action has ensued.
