Davis and On- tario Treasurer John White yielded to pressure by the Op- position, the public, and even the Tory backbenchers, and withdrew the legislation proposing a seven per cent tax on energy., Both Davis and White conceded that the op- position to the tax was so strong that they had little choice but to kill the bill en- tirely. Over the Easter weekend, Davis and White conferred by telephone and Davis sounded out the opinion of his advisers as to whether the tax could be withdrawn without badly em- barrassing the Government. They met briefly with cabinet on Tuesday morning and infor- med the ministers that it would be best to withdraw the tax completely and not try to get around the criticism by modifying it to reduce the im- pact on certain groups. The cabinet agreed with this decision, and it was greeted with delighted relief by the Conservative backbenchers. When Davis told the Legislature the Government would stand pat on the rest of the budget, including the general raise in the sales tax to seven percent from five per cent on May first, which amounts to a 40 per, cent increase, the op- position benches drowned him out in roars of criticism, Liberal Leader. Robert Nixon said White had made a serious error injudgment in proposing the energy tax. He questioned . the Treasurers credibility now in his portfolio, which is the heaviest in Government and in- cludes responsibility for municipal and federal relations and general economic policy. Stephen Lewis, leader of the New Democratic Party, who claims the Davis Government is indecisive and wavering, shouted "One reversal after another, one reversal after another", This was a reference to recent Government policy reversals in several areas - the cabinet's detision to overturn iiii"1:th tar i'6414ifiTieitiiiM$151# r d ruling and halt the Spadina Expressway after 120 million dollars had already been spent - cancellation of its proposed "superblock" of government buildings east of Bay Street - decisions to appoint a Royal Commission into crime, and reveal the sources of party funds, both of which Davis had repeatedly said he would not do. Opposition members said they feel the energy tax reversal was an important victory, but distracted attention from the importance of the general retail sales tax increase which will generate $280 million provin- cial revenue in 1973-74. They stress the fact that the Govern- ment's tax changes, despite removal of the energy tax, are still inequitable because it is taking $280 million more from individuals and families and only $5 million more from cor- porations. As a matter of interest, Gross Provincial Product is expected to rise by 11 per cent in 1973, personal income is projected to rise 12,6 per cent, and cor- porate profits should continue to grow strongly, with an an- ticipated gain of 12 per cent this year. Opposition members maintain that a more progressive system of in- creasing provincial revenue could have been employed by the Government, if indeed such an increase was needed in light of the buoyant economy. Such a system would ineltide an ad- ditional tax on personal income and corporations as they are certainly best able to afford the extra burden without feeling too much of a pinch. Farmers will be happy to see that the 19 cent gasoline tax rebate will be reinstated upon withdrawal of the tax on energy. The Minister., of Consumer and Commercial Relations an- nounced that his ministry will start a compaign to advise On- tarians of their rights in the market place. A new post of in- formation co-ordinator will be created to ensure that the public knows and understands its rights. Residents of Ontario Nursing Homes will be compelled to pay 50 cents to $1 a day more for their care starting the first of May. The new rates were established earlier this week at a meeting of the Ontario Nur- sing Home Association with Government officials. The rates will go to $13.50 from $12,50 for standard ward care, to $15.50 for semi-private patients, and to $20 from $18.50 for private. The Health Ministry will increase its con- tribution to $9.50 per day from $9.00. More help from Government for shoreline damage has been indicated. A $50 million fund allowing municipalities to lend money to property owners along Ontario shorelines affec- ted by high water has been proposed. The loans would allow home owners to construct retaining walls, dikes, break- waters and other structures 4.'"tlesigriett' for the"rehabilitatiOh" and protection of property on water where shores have been damaged or eroded by the elements. James Snow, Minister of Government Ser- vices, said it will also include repairs to any building or other structure damaged by high water levels, ice or erosion of the shore. Ontario is going to step up the protection its citizens have against snoopers who gather in- formation for personal or credit purposes. The bill introduced by Hon. John Clements will require all , investigators for consumer reporting agencies to be registered by the Govern- ment, It will make agencies send out corrections to their customers if the contents of a file are shown to be correct. The public will have the right to sue for damages if they have been harmed by the contents. Clement said the introduction of this bill would lead to higher standards of conduct in this area.
