CLINTON NRWS.BECORD, TIJURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1973-3
The Ontario Government is
determined there will be plan-
ning in the province and in-
troduced legislation this week
to give itself the power to force
municipalities to follow its
lead.
The proposed Act to Provide
for Planning and Development
in Ontario would give the
province strong leverage to deal
with municipalities slow to act
on their planning problems; but
it counter-balances this with
the requirement• that all stages
of the planning process be acted
out in public with the full in-
volvement • of the
municipalities. Under the terms
of this bill, the Government
would be able to designate any
part of the province "a planned
development area" and direc-
tly decide how the land was to
be developed.
Premier Davis made it plain
in a statement to the Members
of the House that the days
when someone could do
whatever he liked with his
lands have passed. They have
passed because of the threat of •
urban sprawl and the Govern-
ment introduced three bills in
the Legislature this week
designed in different ways and
in different areas to check in-
discriminate development. The
legislation introduced would
allow the Province to force
municipalities to produce land-
use plans, set up a commission
to produce a master plan for
the Niagara Escarpment, and
establish a series of parks - and
parks associated with utility
corridors - to separate towns
north and west of Toronto. The
Commission will buy the most
important areas of the Niagara
Escarpment, and it will in-
troduce strict land-planning
controls over the rest of the
'escarpment. In a long-term
plan for a Parkway Belt which
would include highways, hydro
lines and green space, the On-
tario Government has frozen
the zoning of 55,000 acres of
land around Toronto.
Expense accounts which pay
Ontario Cabinet Ministers up
to $3600 a year with no
questions asked came under
fire in the Legislature— this
week. Vernon Singer, liberal
member for Downsview, said
the payments of $300 a month
were unauthorized and
represented something ap-
proaching fraud against the
taxpayers. Liberal and NDP
members on the Legislatures
Public Accounts Committee
claimed the allowance had
been a secret until they
discovered it while reviewing
the Government's expenditures
last year.
Investigations in the new On-
tario Hydro headquarters
project continued this week.
Barry Brooks, former superin-
tendent of Internal Services for
O.I.S.E, (Ontario Institute for
Studies in Education), told the
Legislature's Select Committee,
that he once received a
telephone call from an Ontario
Hydro official asking whether
he was aware of a friendship
between Premier Davis and
developer Gerhard Moog. Mr.
Moog's firm, Canada Square
Corporation, is building the
Hydro headquarters under a
lease-purchase arrangement
with the Hydro Commission. It
is the same firm which erected
the OISE building. Ontario
Hydro chairman, George
Gathercole, conceded under
heavy questioning by commit-
tee counsel, Richard Shibley,
that Canada Square Cor-
poration Limited, got more ex-
posure within Hydro than three
competing developers before it
won the contract to build the
Hydro Commissions new office
headquarters. Mr. Sissons,
Hydro's assistant general
manager for services, was
questioned at length about the
apparent lack of enthusiasm
shown in Hydro memoranda,
including those written by him
for developers other than
Canada Square.
There was both excitement
and the making of history in
the Legislature this week, Paul
Yakabuski, a Conservative
member from Renfrew South,
was expelled from the
Legislature as he attempted to
explain a remark he had made
about French education in Cor-
nwall, No one at Queen's Park
can remember a Government
Party member being expelled
from the House. The, Speaker,
Allan Reuter, ordered the
Sergeant at Arms to escort Mr.
Yakabuski from the Chamber
after the member refused to sit
down.
The events leading up to the
expulstal—belitii—ob Tuescla3)
during the Auestiorro-period
when Albert Roy, Liberal frorri
Ottawa East, asked Education
Minister, Thomas Wells,
whether he was looking into
the situation of the two
teachers fired by the Stormont,
Dundas and Glengarry Board
of Education. Before Mr. Wells
could reply, Mr. Yakabuski in-
terjected the teachers 'should
have been jailed.
Mr. Yakabuski, in an at-
tempt to explain his remarks,
proceeded to condem the Op-
position for using the explosive
situation in Cornwall for
political gain, and it was at this
point that Mr. Reuter ruled
that Mr. Yakabuski was no
longer in order and told him to
sit down. The Conservative
member attempted to carry on
with his statement and after
being told twice to sit down, the
Sergeant at Arms, was told to
escort him from the House.
Towards the end of the week,
Premier William Davis gave a
rather lengthy statement on
Energy Plans that he is
proposing for Ontario. These
plans include a $3.8 billion ex-
pansion of ' power generating
facilities, including two nuclear
plants, and the establishment
of a Ministry of Energy to deal
with all matters pertaining to
energy. Mr. Davis did not name
the man who will assume the
energy portfolio, but the
likeliest candidate is Darcy
McKeough, the Premier's
Parliamentary Assistant, with
responsibility for energy mat-
ters. One of the new Minister's
first jobs will probably be to
take the Province of Alberta to
court over its attempts to in-
crease the price Ontario must
pay for Alberta natural gas.
Premier Davis also in-
troduced legislition to turn On-
tario Hydro into a Crown Cor-
poration and to provide a
review process, including public
participation, for price in-
creases on Hydro's electricity.
At the same time that the
energy plans were revealed to
the members of the Legislature,
Leo Bernier, Minister of
Natural Resources, indicated
that the expansion of the Bruce
nuclear complex will mean the
loss of Inverhuron Park on
Lake Huron between Port
Elgin and Kincardine.
However, he said that the
Government plans to acquire
almost 1800 acres at
MacGregor Point to be conver-
ted into a fully operational
Provincial Park by 1975..
John Clement, Minister of
Consumer and Commercial
Relations, introduced
legislation to give students the
right to drink where they study
and golfers, skiers and curlers
the right to drink where they
play, even in dry areas. The
amendment to the liquor laws
will also permit licencing of
canteens in police messes, con-
valescent and old age homes
and in similar institutions in
Ontario, Mr. Clement also
brought in legislation to create
voluntary photo identification
cards to .make it easier for per-
sons who are 18 but do not look
it, to purchase liquor.
