As this was merely the resumption of a session and not a new one, there was hot much formality. Indications are, 'however, that it is going to be a very busy session as the House is expec- ted to have regular evening sit, tings. With the resumption of the session a new Speaker was ap- pointed. Mr. Allan Reuter, for- mer Speaker, retired due to ill health. 59,year-old Mr, Russell D, Rowe, was appointed Speaker for the Legislature, He has been Member for Northum- berland for 11 years. Mr. Robert Nixon, Leader of the Opposition, tabled a motion of non-confidence in thaGover- nment for failing to bring for- ward effective programs to moderate the inflationary pressures on the cost of living, in particular in the areas of food, rent and fuel. This will provide an opportunity for full debate on this subject in the Ontario Legislature, Liberal Member for Owen Sound, Eddie Sargent, questioned the Minister of Agriculture regarding the selling-off of feeder and breeder cattle, because the cost of feeding livestock is increasing at such an alarming rate. Hog fanners and cow-calf operators are being forced out of business by rapidly increasing expenses, and if this situation is allowed to continue, our food resources are going to be drastically reduced, with consequent in- creases in consumer prices. Mr. Nixon asked if the Minister plans subsidies to help main- tain herds under these par- ticularly oppressive and unusual conditions. The Minister was also asked by Murray Gaunt, Liberal Member for Huron-Bruce, if there were any plans being made for the pullet growers of the Province in view of the fact that the conversion privileges no longer applies. The problem of egg producers, pullet growers, hatcheries, egg processors, etc. are being con- sidered by a newly formed ad- visory committee. The Minister replied that he hoped they will be able to find a solution them- selves. These matters will be discussed again during the non- confidence debate and hopefully the Government will bring forward some programs to assist farmers with the dif- ficulties they are experiencing presently. An inquiry into allegations of police brutality was ordered, as a result of reports published in the Toronto Star, and the Globe and Mail. Ontario Supreme Court Justice, Donald Morena, 60, is to head the inquiry, The terms of reference of the inquiry specify that Metro Force is• the object of the investigation but Solicitor ,General George Kerr, said arty recommendations "as to the use of force in arrest and deten, Om) could apply across the Province," • The Minister of the nvirort,r ment outlined a broad program for the treatment and reeycling of garbage and announced plans for an Ontario Waste Management Board. He in- tends to continue experimehts such as the garbage burning "Watts for Waste" using gar- bage for fuel at Ontario Hydro's Lakeview generating station, and also plans many recycling programA, This program to build primary waste treatment plants in six areas is a 15 year program at a capital cost of $17 million. The Province intends to recover half df the $17 million capital cost from the municipalities over 40 years. Durine"the debates on the Estimates of the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations, Mr. Jack Spence, Liberal Member for Kent, raised the matter of the Gover- nment taking over perpetual care funds of cemetery boards throughout the 'Province. He strongly urged the Minister to reconsider this plan of action because cemetery board mem- bers have worked hard, with great dedication, over the years to build up these funds, at the same time improving and beautifying' the cemeteries.. . Now the Government plans to steri .in, take over the funds' and administer them. Ob- viously many cemetery board members are going to resent what they consider government interference, now that the plan- ning, organization and hard work have been done, Mr. Spence pointed out that there is a strong possibility that if the Government insists on taking over these funds, it might well find itself responsible for the day to day uRkeep of the cemeteries aS;,',well. The Minister undertodk to look into this question once again. ' During the debates on the estimates of the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations, Minister John Clement indicated that a new approach to the liquor legislation in Ontario will be unveiled shortly. He said that the new legislation would not, be amendments but that it is a completely new approach. The new act will replace existing legislation and will deal 'with both the Liquor Control Board and the Liquor License Board.
