The 7 per cent Ontario sales tax became law on Monday of this
week despite Opposition objections, and it was made retroactive to
May 1st. Shoppers who refused to pay the new tax on small purchases
will not be pursued, said Revenue Minister, Allan Grossman, but ac-
tion may be taken to collect from persons who made large purchases
and insisted on paying only the then-legal 5 per cent rate. The Retail
Sales Act makes provision for court action against anyone who does
not pay the tax, and for fines of $10 to $1000. According to the Act, a
sale is not completed until delivery of the item is made and the title
transferred to the new owner. Purchasers who negotiated a sale prior
to May 1st, 1973, but who did not take delivery until after that date will
be charged the 7 per cent sales tax on the negotiated price, even
though a down payment was made at the time the bill of sale was
drawn up by the vendor.
The select committee of the Ontario Legislature, investigating
circumstances surrounding the construction of a new head office
building for Ontario Hydro, approved an outline by the committee
counsel, Richard Shibley, of six questions he believed the committee
should attempt to answer. The first was whether the terms of the
agreement between Hydro and Canada Square, under which Hydro
will become a tenant of the building at an annual rent of $4,116,424 and
assume ownership in 30 years for $1, were financially and economical-
ly sound. The second was whether the same agreement provided
benefits and advantages which justify the decision of Hydro to aban-
don previous plans for construction of, a building owned and financed
by Ontario Hydro. The abandonment cost Hydro $1,485,000 in
architectural fees. The third question was simply "Did Ontario
Hydro take all steps necessary to obtain competitive proposals?".
The fourth question: Did Mr, George Gathercole (Hydro chairman),
members of the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission, the chief
architect of Ontario Hydro and the members of the staff of Ontario
Hydro, or anyone involved, have their judgement affected by any con-
sideration other than what was in the best interests of Ontario Hydro
and the people of Ontario? The fifth question was whether the agree-
ment was of a nature and of such importance that Hydro should have
submitted it for consideration on a policy basis to the Minister repor-
ting to the House for Hydro, The agreement had never been discussed
in Cabinet. The final question pertained to investigating the validity of
a statement made by a person who alleged that there was a warning
delivered by someone to one of the unsuccessful bidders that if he did
not be quiet he would never get another Government contract.
Natural Resources Minister, Leo Bernier, who is responsible for
the operation of the government's 45 aircraft, said there had been nine
threats against Premier Davis' life in the past three weeks, adding
weight to the sentiment in Government circles opposed to making
public the details of flights made by Cabinet ministers in Government
and chartered aircraft. The Provincial Auditors Report noted that a
number of charter flights were made transporting Ministers and their
families, senior civil servants and others within and outside Ontario.
Revenue Minister, Allan Grossman, informed the Legislature
that the maximum price for builders under the government's Home
Ownership Made Easy (H.O.M.E.) had been raised, ranging from $225
to $1600. Under the H.O.M.E. plan the government keeps down
payments low by leasing the lots and holding a ceiling on the construc-
tion price of the houses.
Albert Roy, (Lib. Ottawa East), told the Legislature during the
budget debate that the largest optical firm in Canada is in a position to
control the issuing of licences to opticians in Ontario. Mr. Roy said
Imperial Optical Co. Ltd. has direct or indirect connections with
members of the Ophthalmic Dispensing Board of Ontario, the optical
industries regulatory body. All members of the board are appointed
by the Ontario Government. Mr. Roy claimed that Imperial Optical
was just another example of how the Conservatives looked after their
supporters.
Liberal Leader, Robert Nixon, charged that a ministerial order
freezing land development in parts of Haldimand-Norfolk County was
less. stringent than those established.„.by local planning authorities.
The order was issued by Inter-government Affairs Minister John
White in the wake of reports that an association of developers was
assembling land in an area believed earmarked for provincial
development. The consortium is holding options on farmland south of
Brantford where the Provincial Government is rumored to be plan-
ning a new city. Local planners and politicians are thankful the
developers have forced the Government into action on a land-use con-
trol plan for the area which has been lying in abeyance within the
Ministry for two years now and which is estimated to cost between
$700,000 and $800,000.
Metro Toronto teachers and supporters marched five thousand
strong on Queen's Park to exhibit their protest against Education
Minister Tom Well's ceiling on school budgets. Members of the
Liberal and MDT, parties addressed the gathering, but vociferous
requests by the group for an explanation by the Minister of Education
resulted •in nothing more than an exercise of futility.
Liberal Leader, Robert Nixon. has not made a firm commitment
as yet regarding his original intention to relinquish the party
leadership, but assuming he will reaffirm his desire to be replaced,
Donald Deacon, 52 year old member of the Ontario Legislature for
York Centre, announced the first of the week that he will seek the
leadership of the Province's Liberal party. The party convention is
planned for October, so no doubt there will be others who will an-
nounce their bid for the leadership between now and then,
