The reorganization, to take effect April's, 1974, will in- clude the appointment of two new assistant deputy ministers and will create three new divisions, Ontario . Treasurer John White, replying to a question by the Liberal Leader Robert Nixon gave a statement to the Legislature on plans to re- invest $154 million in Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System funds. He said that the funds paid into, OMERS will be reinvested to bear the same interest rate as Provincial Bonds (currently 8.5 percent) instead of the maximum 6,5 percent it brings now. Mr. White also told the Legislature the Province will add $8.1 million in back in- terest payments to the fund. The Fund would have earned this extra amount had the new interest rates applied between 1963, when it was established, and 1969. The new interest rates, to be pegged to those on Provincial bonds will be effec- tive from January 1, 1970. The OMERS plan provides retirement benefits for 77,258 employees of Municipal Gover- nments, Boards of Education, Hydro and other boards. A new program of travel sub- sidies called Ontario Young Travellers was announced by Education Minister Thomas Wells. Trips by school children from Northern Ontario to Toronto will be subsidized by the Provincial Government. A total amount of $100,000 will be spent this year. The grants will apply only to Grade 7 and 8 pupils and will cover 90 per- Cent of transportation costs by bus. N.D.P. Leader Stephen Lewis condemned the Child Welfare Branch of the Ministry of Com- munity and Social Services for its bureaucratic bungling in handling attempts by Ontario couples to adopt ,babies from War ravaged countries. In a long address to the Legislature Committee studying the Ministry's estimates, Mr. Lewis presented numerous case histories to illustrate what he terms the insensitivity of the Department. He accused the Child Welfare personnel of misrepresentation, mis- statement of fact and attemp- ting to deter certain prospective foster parents from adopting foreign children. Rene Brunelle, Minister of Com. tfinnitY and Social Services, did not debate or deny the charges, replying to a question by Albert Roy (Liberal Ottawa East), who said signed but blank certificates of mechnical fitness for used cars can often he obtained on the black market for a direct charge, Transportation Minister, Gor- don Carton, said he is planning legislation to reduce the num- ber of fraudulent certificates. Mr. Carton told the Legislature that as many as 40,000 vehicles issued certificates to mechanical fitness last year could be unsafe because they were never checked by mechanics, Five percent of the certificates issued last, year could be illegal because mechanics had signed them for a fee without checking the vehicles. Darcy McKeough, Minister of Energy told a Legislature Committee, considering the ex- penditure estimates of the Resource Development ministries that Ontario Hydro does not have a policy of building generating plants to provide electrical power for ex- port. But he said Hydro does have a policy of maintaining an energy reserve, and this reserve may be, exported. Hydro's generating reserve now is ap- proximately 22 percent more than actual power requirements, and it has suggested that this reserve capacity should be increased to 27 percent. His proposed power export would be made under a Hydro contract with the United States which expires in 1975. The additional export above what origianlly was called for in the contract would mean a profit to Hydro of about $20 million, Residents on the Great Lakes shoreline in Southwestern On- tario may face serious problems from storms again this fall. The Assistant Deputy Minister of Natural Resources told the Legislative Committee that the levels of Lakes Erie and Huron have not dropped as much as hoped since serious flooding last spring. He said that although area co-ordinators have almost completed con- tingency plans should there be flooding, very little can be done in terms of long-term protec- tion while water levels remain high. He expressed the hopes that storms this fall won't be severe, Liberal Leader Robert Nixon asked Agriculture Minister William Stewart in the Legislature to bring order into the futures market which he described as "falling into the old-fashioned procedures characteristic of the robber baron days." Mr, Stewart did not deny that dealings in the futures market have escalated com- modity prices beyond all realism, but he said there was nothing he could do in the way of legislation or regulation to control the activities of the market. The markets in com- modity futures' operate in Chicago and Winnipeg, and are beyond the reach of the Gover- nment of Ontario. The. Ontario Government's position on the assembly of land for housing by municipalities will be announ- ced before Christmas, Treasurer John White said. Reporting to the Legislature on the second National Tri-Level Conference in Edmonton this week, Mr. White said he had supported formation of a task force to study aspects of public finance. Ontario gave an under- taking to. match dollar-for- dollar Federal unconditional grants and tax sharing paid to the local 'governments through the Province. The money would in fact be paid either to the Municipal Councils of the ratepayers, as determined by the Province in co-operation with the Municipal liaison Committee. Congratulations, once again, go, out to Charlie MacNaughton for his appointment to the Board of Directors of Laidlaw Transportation Limited. W. Douglas Wells, B.A., B. Ed., son of 'Mr. and Mrs. Wm. D. Wells, Clinton was granted a M.A. in Geography from the University of Waterloo at the Fall Convocation on October 19th. He is presently teaching at Brockville Collegiate In- stitute and Vocational School in Brockville.
