• (HURON BRUCE)
• Premier Jo
hn• Robarts reaffrrm.:.d
/this week his intention of holdin
g
• a Confederation of Tomorrow Con-
ference .
In the Legislature Mr; •Robarts
*said the July `5 •ceremonies announr
ced recently by Mr'; Pearson would.
in no way substitute for the confer,
en'de he plans: He pointed out that
•
the provincial premiers would be
sworn in.by the • Queen as members
of'the•Privy Council in the Morn-
ing,. have lunch and then'have only
the 'afternoon for discussion of 'Con
federation. '
' Meanwhile; the long awaited Con
federation debate in the Ontario
Legislature will take: place next •
week and Mr.. Robarts may. by flier°
have more information •about the
conference he plans,.• -Several mem:
berg •on both "sides of the House have
their speeches ready.
:The opposition parties this week; •
ask the:dntario Government, to
make oittright`grants rather. than
*loans`to aid elderly homeowners in•
paying their property taxes.
Spokesmen for both oppositidn.
partiesvowed they would fight in,
committee. to make the loan a
grant by.rernovingthe provision :.
that it become a lien against the
property to be collected when•the,.
property changes hands;
The bill authorize municipalities
to pass bylaws under. which elderly
homeowners 'can. apply for defer-,*;
Ment of :half their propertytaxes up.

My resolution 'dealing with the in-
clusion of chiropractors, .
optometrists, osteopaths; and other_
paraniedical groups in OMSIP was
debated this week. During the de-
• bate it was pointed out that in'1910'
there was one doctor t� every 1000=-
100 people. There were very few
specialists and very few,doctors.in
adm inistr. ative .positions, .
In 1965. An altogether different•
situation existed There.was one
doctor to every 950 people. How-
ever out of 20,00.0 doctors in Canty
bads almost •SB% at either special°-
sts or engaged in administrative
