So wonderfully realistic! The beauti-
ful walnut grain gives a feeling of
richness and warmth to any room.
Democracy reigns supreme. Premier Wm, Davis and Ontario
Treasurer John White yielded to pressure by the Opposition, the
public, and even the Tory backbenchers, and withdrew the legislation
proposing a 7 percent tax on energy. Both Davis and White conceded
that the opposition to the tax was so strong that they had little choice
but to kill the bill entirely.
Over the Easter weekend Davis and White conferred by telephone
and Davis sounded out the opinion of his advisers as to whether the tax
could be withdrawn without badly embarrassing the Government.
They met briefly with cabinet on Tuesday morning and informed the
ministers that it would be best to withdraw the tax completely and not
try to get around the criticism by modifying it to reduce the impact on
certain groups.
The cabinet agreed with his decision, and it was greeted with
delighted relief by the Conservative backbenchers.
When Davis told the Legislature the Government would stand pat
on the rest of the budget, including the general raise in the sales tax to
7 percent from 5 percent on May 1st, which amounts to a 40 percent
increase, the opposition benches drowned him out in roars of
criticism.
Liberal Leader Robert Nixon said White had made a serious error
in judgment in proposing the energy tax. He questioned the
Treasurer's credibility now in his portfolio, which is the heaviest in
Government and includes responsibility for municipal and federal
relations and general economic policy.
Stephen Lewis, leader of the New Democratic Party, who claims
the Davis Government is indecisive and wavering, shouted "One
reversal after another, one reversal after another." This was a
reference to recent Government policy reversals in several areas -
the cabinet's decision to overturn an Ontario Municipal Board ruling
and halt the Spadina Expressway after 120 million dollars had already
been spent - cancellation of its proposed "superblock" of government
buildings east of Bay Street - decisions to appoint a Royal Commission
into crime, and reveal the sources of party funds, both of which Davis
had repeatedly said he would not do.
Opposition members said they feel the energy tax reversal was
an important victory, but distracted attention from the importance of
the general retail sales tax increase which will generate $280 million
provincial revenue in 1973-74.
They stress the fact that the Government's tax changes, despite
removal of the energy tax, are still inequitable because it is taking
$280 million more from individuals and families and only $5 million
more from corporations.
As a matter of interest, Gross Provincial Product is expected to
rise by 11 percent in 1973, personal income is projected to rise 12.6
percent, and corporate profits should continue to grow strongly, with
an anticipated gain of 12 percent this year. Opposition members main-
tain that a more progressive system of increasing provincial revenue
could have been employed by the Government, if indeed such an in-
crease was needed in light of the buoyant economy.
Such a system would include an additional tax on personal income
and corporations as they are certainly best able to afford the extra
burden without feeling too much of a pinch.
Farmers will be happy to see that the 19i gasoline tax rebate will
be reinstated upon withdrawal of the taxon energy.
The Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations announced
that his ministry will start a campaign to advise Ontarians of their
rights in the market place. A new post of information co-ordinator
will be created to ensure that the public knows and understands its
rights.
Residents of Ontario Nursing Homes will be compelled to pay SOit
to $1 a day more for their care starting the 1st of May. The new rates
were established earlier this week at a meeting of the Ontario Nur-
sing Home Association with Government officials. The rates will go to
$13.50 from $12.50 for standard care, to $16.75 from -$15.-50 for semi-
private patients, and to $20 from $18.50 for private. The Health
Ministry will increase its contribution to $9.50 per day from $9.00
.More help from Government for shoreline damage has been in-
dicated. A $50 million fund allowing municipalities to lend money to
property owners along Ontario shorelines affected by high water has
been proposed. The loans would allow home owners to construct
retaining walls, dikes, breakwaters and other structures designed for
the rehabilitation and protection of property on water where shores
have been damaged or eroded by the elements. James Snow, Minister
of Government Services, said it will also include repairs to any
building or other structure damaged by high water levels, ice or ero-
sion of the shore,
