TfitiftSDAY. APRIL 4, /87.4,2.9 • Jack's Jottings 8,v Jock ilidaffil Huron MItI' McKillop pays Fire Board levy Premier William Davis came under heavy attack in the Legislature from Oppostion Leader Robert Nixon and Stephen Lewis, Leader of the New Democratic Party for not assuring hospital workers of a salary increase, The Premier intimated that pay increases will likely be recommended by two Government committees investigating salaries and working conditions of Ontario hospital workers. The report of the committees is not expected to be ready before May 6th but in the meantime workers at 10 Toronto hospitals could decide to strike, Mr. Nixon asked Premier Davis to make a statement of good faith asking the hospital workers to stay on the job until the report comes out. A statement read in the Legislature by Premier William Davis indicated that Ontario wants Ottawa to relax foreign ownership restrictions in the Uranium industry. The Premier said the restrictions are inhibiting exploration for uranium at the time when the mineral is becoming an in- creasingly important source of energy. Ownership guidelines limit total foreign ownership of uranium producers to 33 1/3% and individual foreign holdings to 10%. Neither Mr. Davis nor Energy Minister Darcy McKeough made it clear just how far they wanted the restrictions relaxed but neither are convinced that equity requirements with respect to the ownership of uranium mines and 'the granting of ex- ploration permits should be BUDD KUEHL at HURON PINES ELECTRIC 86 King St, Phone Clinton 482-7901 significantly different than those applied to oil, gas and coal where there are no such requirements. The statement was sharply attacked in the Legislature by Liberal Leader Robert. Nixon, wondering whether it meant the Govern- ment is ready to ,let ownership and control over uranium fall into foreign hands. The On- tario Government report tabled in the Legislature said incen- tives should include higher market prices for uranium, long term commitments by Canadian utilities and en- couragement of export sales. The agreed price of $6.50 for Western crude oil by Canada's first ministers will mean an 'in- crease of 7c a gallon for gasoline. and heating fuel. Liberal member Vernon Singer said this was a phenomenal in- crease, a shocking increase for pensioners, welfare recipients and others on low and fixed in- comes and asked what the Government planned to do to help. Prerhier said he was very cognizant of the inflationary pressures on people on fixed or low incomes and said the Provincial budget which has been postponed to April 9th, would reveal the Government's financial program. It has been estimated that 30 to 45 days of petroleum products are in pipelines, refineries and storage tanks and according to Premier Davis the industry should maintain existing prices until current stocks are exhausted. Energy Minister 'Darcy McKeough said we should not see the higher well head price reflected on the consumer level before May 1st but also in- timated that there was nothing Ontario could do specifically to hold down on prices. Liberal Leader Robert Nixon said prices in Northern Ontario are higher than those paid in the rest of the Province and suggested a Provincial cushion on fuel prices for Northerners. A report tabled in . the Legislature by Attorney General Robert Welch contains recommended changes by the Ontario Law RefOrm Corn- iniSiion which would clarify what agreements lawyers may make with clients for payment of bills and how the fees may be appealed if a client feels he has been overcharged. Mr. Wells said the proposed changes mean a member of the public or a lawyer-can have an account or agreement for legal services reviewed by an ap- propriate Judicial officer in a way that promises to be sim- pier, faster and fairer than the Present system. The Ontario Law Reform Commission recommended that a lawyer's bill should be signed by him or by another solicitor working for or with him. Its language should be simplified arid it should be sent by ordinary mail. Another recommen- dation enables a client to apply for a review of the bill by a County or District Court judge or other review officer within a year even if he has paid part or all of the bill. It is the Lawyer's. responsibility to justify that his claim is fair and proper. Another recommen- • dation compels a lawyer to give a client all documents relating to his case if he removes him- self from a case or is discharged by a client. Previously a lawyer who was fired by a client could withhold the documents. Another recommendation would allow lawyers to raise the interest they charge on overdue bills from 5 to 7 1/2%. Premier William Davis in- dicated that the Ontario Gover- nment is considering a possible Goyernrnent IndustrY consor- tium similar to the Panartic Oils Limited to explore for and develop uranium in the Province. The budget was expected to be presented on the 4th April, but Treasurer John White has rescheduled this for April 9 in order to have an opportunity to look at the economic con- sequences of the increase in the price of 'gasolineand heating oil by 7c a gallon. Preinier Davis has indicated also that his Government is planning some relief for people on low or fixed income who might suffer real hardship because of these price increases. Opposition members are awaiting presen- tation of the budget with con- siderable interest for in the last three years since Mr. Davis became Premier, the Govern- ment expenditures have in- creased .18% faster than revenues and the Provincial net debt has grown by 122% to 1.7 million dollars. Unless the in- flationary trend pf4be last four ,Provincial budgets is stopped we can expect expenditures of more than 8.3 billion this year with the Provincial debt growing by a further $720 million. Murray Gaunt, Liberal Mem- ber for Huron Bruce spoke on the Throne Debate this week and strongly criticized the On- tario Hydro's methods of negotiation and purchase of property for the power line corridor from Douglas Point, He also criticized the choice of route for this corridor which at present is to go through 80 per cent of class 1 and 2 agricultural land whereas an alternate route could have crossed only about 40 per cent of class 1 and 2 land. In other matters this week, Pat Reid, Liberal Member and labor critique from Rainy River, was elected Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee of the Ontario' Legislature which studies revenues and ex- penditures of the Provincial Government of the preceding year. Also the new Health Minister, the Honourable Frank Miller indicated that the Government may possibly reconsider allowing licensed denturists to work directly with the public, ay "MA ONO McKillop Township Coun01 authorized pappept Monday of a levy of: 10,494 for 1974 for the Seaforth Fire Area Board,. this includes money for the proposed purchase of a new fire truck, McKillop is one of five municipalities served by Seaforth Fire Area Board.
