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.
