Miss Peel will compete for the
law reform
abolishes the ancient right of
dower.
The bill comprises five parts.
each dealing with distinct though
related subject areas.
Part One deals with the division
of family assets between, the
spouses where the marriage
breakdow n occurs. The basic rule
in that is that family assets will be
divided equally between the
spouses. Family assets which
comprise property owned Lt
either or both spouses, the things
that a family use together as a
family. would be shared equally
by the seises on a marriage
breakdown regardless who had.
bought the property • and '
irrespective of which spouse held
legal title.
Part two concerns the
obligations of spouses to support
each. other and their ,children,
whether-born within or outside of
marriage, and of children to
support their parents in
accordance with the needs and
Capacity of each party. This pan
also creates a li mited obligation
'of one common law spouse to
support the other. Where two
persons lived together as if
married, one person frequently
becomes dependent on the other.
especially if there is a child of the
union. if one of these t wo people
is no longer self-sufficient, it' is
reasonable to look to the other to
assist in restoring him or her to
financial independence. Mr,
McMurtry said it was more
desirable to place a support
obligation on common law'-
spouses than have a large number
of persons. who are living
common law, looking to public
welfare for support. A common
law spouse can claim support only
after at .. least 2 years
cohabitation.
Part three of the Family Reform
Act, 1976, provides rules for
insuring that the matrimonial
home is not dealt with by one
spouse so as to deprive the other
or the children of a h ome. This
part provides ' security 'for the
members of the family by
requiring that both spouses join
in any sale or mortgage of the
matrimonial home. The family';
right to shelter is protected
against the unilateral act of either
husband or wife, ProYision is also
made for either spouse to obtain
an order to exclusive possession..
of the home and its contents;
where financial support alone
would be inadequate.
Part. Four of the Bill permits,
spouses to enter into compre-
hensive • marriage contracts
covering their respective rights to
property, support custody and
education of . children and any
other matters arising during their
marriage or on an eventual
marriage breakdown. A marriage
contract could prevail over any of
the provisions of the Act except
where it limited a spouse's rights
in the matrimonial home or
reduced a spouse to dependence
on welfare or included provisions
-contrary to the best interests of
the children of the marriage.
The last part of the Bill, Mr.
McMurtry said, contains many
amendments to ' statute and
abrogations of the common law
consequential upon the previous
four parts. part V abolish to the
last vestiges of the inferior status
in law of the married woman and
completes the work begun in the
Family Law Reform. Act, 1975,
The Family Law Reform Act of
1975 'is incorporated as part of
this Att.
Mr. McMurtry advised that his
Ministry has prepared a pamphlet
and an informative booklet
explaining the bill and these
documents will be distributed
freely as widely as possible across
the Province,

The Ontario Legislature
reconvened for the fall session on
Tuesday, October 26. with a
number of Ministers making
lengthy statements explaining
bills to be introduced later in the
day.
Some of the more significant
announcements dealt with family
law, farm income stabilization, a
delay in moving to market-value
assessment as a basis 'for
property taxation, and an
agreement entered into between
Reed Paper and the Provincial
-Government concerning forestry
rights over a vast area of
Northwestern Ontario.
The Farm Stabilization Bill
which ,was introduced • by the
Government on the opening day
incorporated many of the
amendments • made by the
Opposition Members- to the Bill
which wa defeated in the spring
session. The Minister of Agri-
culture responded to Opposition
,---demands to bring in legislation to
provide a voluntary, contributory
plan covering all commodities.
The new legislation is hinged to
the Federal Stabilization Plan,
which guarantees farmers up to
90% of the average of the last five
years' prices on certain named
commodities. Other commodities
• under the. Federal Plan can be
designated for a price guarantee
-of u p to 90% in any one year
pending the decision of 'the
Federal Government after taking
into, consideration the exisiting
market price and the. effect. that
the price would , have on
producers and future production.
with 16, members answering the
roll call.
Mrs. Harold McCallum opened
with "The thought of the
month." "All hail the power of
Jesus' Name!" was sung and
scripture from 211d Corinthians 9:
6 - 15 was followed by Mrs.
McCallum giving meditation.
Mrs. George Williamson read
an article, "What's gone wrong
with confirmation?" from the
October Observer.
Mrs. Roy Williamson chaired
the business. Minutes were read
by Mrs. H . McCallum.
Donations were given instead of
having a bazaar.
Lunch was served by Mrs. H.
McCallum, Mrs. G. Williamson
and Mrs. H. Johnston.

Weekend guests with Mrs. Roy

It is good news to hear William

some input costs. In some
commodities where over
production' is feared, producers
may not want a support level that
is that high.
All in all we in the Liberal Party
are pleased that the program is to
be voluntary and farmers are to
contribute. Apart from the
support level for unnamed or
undesignated commodities under
the Federal Plan we are pleased
that all t ommodtiies are to be
covered and that there is
provision for consultation with
farm organizations and an
opportu nity for the Federal
Government to share the cost.
As I indicated previously I
would like to see some
amendments to the bill and if
approved then I. feel ' we have
taken a major step forward in
bringing some kind of stability to
the agriculture industry in
Ontario and the assurance to the
consumer of an adequate supply
of high quality food at reasonable
prices.
When introducing the Family
Law Reform Act, 1976, the
Attorney General, the
Honourable- Roy McMurtry said
that the existing 'common and
statute law has failed to keep pace
with the challenges of modern
family life. He said that the new
Bill sweeps away the ramshackle
structures of the law governing
matrimonial prepert- and support
obligations in a' marriage
breakdown situation. The bill
contains new rights available to

Jack's Jottings
Under the proposed legislation
the Province will add another five
per cent on to the Federal Plan
guaranteeing 95% on named
commodities under the Federal
Plan which must be supported to
a level of at least 90%. But for
any commodity that is not covered
to the 90% level by Ottawa, the
Ontario Plan will simply add
another five per cent of the last
five years'"average market price
of that commodity to the
prevailing market price.For all
commodities the Ontario • Plan
supports the difference between
90% of the five year average price
and 95% of the 5 year average
price. This is satisfactory for
commodities named under the
Federal Stabilization Plan but it is
extremely punishing for
commodities not covered by the
Federal Plan. As critic of the
Agriculture ,Iviinistry for the
Liberal Party, 1 feel that in the
absence of a Federal Plan the
Provincial Plan should provide
full protection.
Another weak ness in the bill is
the method of indexing ' for
adjusting payments to keep up
with the inflation. The cost used
?for indexing in accordance with
„the bill are cash, cost and in my
opinion the indexing system
should cover all production costs.
This could include a return for the
farmer's labour and investment.
There is also the danger in this
bill that the support level on
named commodities under the
Federal Plan is too rigid. The Bill
states that the support level must
be 95% of the five year average ,
price adjusted for changes in
