workers were forced to "suffer
through a hard winter • and
spring" when the money for
increases was available all the
timer (The Minister had been
refusing to , legislate any in-
creased compensation until a
report on the financial structure
of the Board was, completed. and
the report, commissioned over a
year ago, was,, only' recently
tabled.)
The Line Fences Act, 1978, was
introduced this week by the
Honourable Darcy McKeough.
The -new bill came about as a
result of lengthy discussions
particularly with representatives
of the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture and the Rural Ontario
Municipal Association.
In the new, Bill as opposed to
the present Line Fences Act:
The distinction between oc-
cupied and unoccupied lands is
being removed.
A line fence will no longer be
mandatory in every case, but only
where one adjoining owner wants
of child abuse were reported to
the eetitrai registry in Ontario - 13
resulted in death. In 1976, there
were 731 reported abuses, re-
sulting in. six, deaths.
The task force report made 21
recommendations, including' bet;
ter ministry standards and guide-
lines for' dealing with child abuse
and improved monitoring of the
societies to ensure . that the
guidelines are followed in an
effort to improve what is called
"an alarming situation".
Approval in principle has been
given by, the'legaitture to a
Government Bill which would
'make public the names of Ontario
companies joining an Arab boy-
cott of firms that do business with
Israel. A number of Opposition
Members, while supporting the
bill in principle, expressed con-
cern that the wording might
possibly bar someone from boy-
cotting Smith Africa's wines in
protest against that country's
racial policies or boycotting 'pro-
ducts with no union labels.
In addition to the methods in
the existing Act for collecting the
amount owed him by the
defaulting owner, the other owner
will be able, if the Municipal
Council provides by By.Law„to
-collect the amount frotni the
Municipal Treasurer. The Muni-
cipality will then collect the
amount from We defaulting
owner as taxes with interest.
The Minister of Community
and Ssrial Services, Mr. Larry
Grossman, has indicated that the
-Province will have to play a much
.larger role in supervising
°'children's aid societies in the
light of a report that they have
failed to protect children from
abbse or violent death. This
report recently released by a task
force on the matter of child abuse
has concluded that "the public
and profestionals have every
right to be concerned about the
failure of our children's services
to protect children known to be in
perilous situations."
Last year. some 1,045 incidents
a fence.
Where adjoining owners cannot
reach agreement, one owner may
simply notify the clerk of the local
municipality that he wants the
fence-viewers to arbitrate the
dispute. 1f, however, the
municipal council has passed a
by-law providing that the clerk is
' not to be involved, the owner will
have to arrange the arbitration
himself as with the present Act.
The options of,the Fence-
viewers in making teir award are ,
being clarified and broadened. '
The 'Appeal of. either owner
from the Fence-viewers' award
will be the Small Claims Court
rather than to the County or
District Court.
If the owner 'fails to obey the
Award and the:owner does the
work and wants to recover the
value of that work, he will have
the fenCe-viewers reconvene to
Certify the amount owed him by
the defaulting owner, rather than
having to take action in the Small
Claims Courts. •
•
The Bill will be retroactive in
three stages to July 1st, 197f, and
would include an immediate lump
sum payment. It would raise the
ceiling on earnings for a
temporary disability.allowance to
$16,200 from $15,000 and the
maximum rate of compensation
payable to injured workers would
increase -by 8% to $233.66 a
week. The minimum permanent
pension for total disability would
increase to $509 from $400' a
month; for 50% disability from
$200 to $254.40'; and for 25%
disability to $127.25 from $100.
For ,a dependent spouse the
pension would increase to $365 a
month' from $286, for dependent
children to $99 front $77 and for
orphans to $113 from $88. The
initial lump sum payment for
dependent spouses and the burial
allowances would increase to $800
from $600.
Opposition Members have
been calling for such an increase.
Liberal Leader Stuart Smith said
he was ','bitter" that injured
By Jack Riddell, M.P.P.
Food chain store discount
practices have been the subject of
heated debate again this week,
and the Legislature's Standing
Committee bn Resources
Development has recommended a,
public inquiry into rebates, dis-
counts and allowances in the
Ontario food industry. All three
political parties have approved
the idea of an inquiry, although
they disagree on the scope and
form of the proposed . in-
vestigation.
Counsel William Poole submit-
ted a strongly-worded report to
the Committee, based upon
public testimony by a number of
witnesses and confidential inter-
views with six food suppliers. In.
his opinion, "the arranging of
discounts is an unequal battle
between strong (supermarket)
chains and weaker (food) proces-
sors which may have the effect of
,gouging."
Discounts ''do not seem to be
related to. volume selling, but
perhaps are related to con-
, centration intheltands of a few
In the course of his submission
to the Committee, Mr. Poole
menitoned Liberal MPP Jim
McGuigan (Kent-Elgin), "an -
ple grower before this
Committee", who had objected to
'the discounting, which caused the
chain stores to make a change.
"If all apple growers- did that,
they'd do away with this discount.
In other words, you scared them
off", he told McGuigan.

The Committee has recom-
mended that the investigation
should be carried out by an
independent body, and proposed
a Food Industry Trade Practices
Commission, which would consist
of a nominee of the Ontario
Federation .of Agriculture, the
Ontario Section of the Consumers
Association of Canada and each of
the three political parties in
Ontario. The Lieutenant Governor
would appoint the Chairman from
ttre five 'J-itistninKeS; and the'
Commission would have a broad
mandate to look . into "the
marketing of food in Ontario with
respect to prices, price spreads,
price discounts, rebates and
allowances, trade practices,
methods of financing and man-
gement_policies relating_to_the_
marketing of farm products."
About a- month ago, injured
workers and Metro Toronto Police
clashed during a demonstration
calling for increased benefits
from Workmen's Compensation
Board. Now the Minister of
Labour, the Honourable Bette
Stephenson, has proposed an
average 25% increase in benefits.
If the legislation IS approved, the
increase will take effect July 1st.
This would be the first such
increase in three years.
