THRONE
THRONE SPEECH
The Throne Speech, read
by the Lieutenant-Governor.
is actually a statement of the
government's intention for
the forthcoming session. The
short 17-page Speech did
little more than restate pro-
mises made by the govern-
mem during the election. In
fact, most of . it was outlined
in January under the guise of
a five-year economic blue-
'Print known as the B1LD
program- BILD being the
initials of the Board, of Indu-
strial Leadership and Devel-
opment.
Emphasis was given to the
Premier's call for a first
ministers' conference on the
economy. because "the pro- •
Clem of inflation...must be
faced in a comprehensive
way. on a national front and
without delay. 'Major oppor-
tunities fo0 action lie in the
key federal areas of mone-
tary and fiscal policy plan-
ning. Inflation, economic
growth. federal-provincial
fiscal and 'tax-sharing ar-
rangements. social policy
and stability, energy pricing
and supply.' all' constitute
matters which must be ur-
gently addWaied so that
nation does not falter." -

OPPOSITION REACTION
Both Opposition Leaders
criticised the Speech for its
failure to 'deal with the
serious problems of imem-
ployment. high interest rates
and inflation. Liberal Leader
Stuart Smith condemned it as
"a few bland, reassuring
words (containing) no recog-
I nition of-the real problems"
of a piiwinee detline.
"Inflation is aiding the rich'
and robbing the poor, but
, there's nothing here to help
the people, being hurt by
inflation...and there's not a
single job." Despite tough
economic times in Ontario, ,
the government has "done
absolutely nothing to bring
together the haves and have-
nots" of the province, he
added.
_An CONTROL
The Premier has hided
that, althougn he has
"today" no plans to change
the increase in rent a land-
lord may charge without
getting' special permission,
he's not married to the 6%
figure which has been law
since 1975.
