A
The session is finally over after
a stormy confrontation between
the Government and the
Opposition on bill 274, the
Education Bill, which *ill impose
compulsory arbitration to deal
with the mass resignations of
teachers across Ontario. There
was a great deal of unrest in the
past year over the Government-
imposed budget ceilings on
education spending.
The Minister of Education,
Thomas Wells, promised to in-
troduce legislation on the Reville
Report which dealt with teacher-
school board negotiations, but did
so only in the dying hours of the
session. Bill 274 was an interim
Bill to deal with the immediate
situation, but was greeted with a
great deal of contempt by the
Opposition and the teachers
alike. What is shocking is the fact
that the Government has stepped
in to change a contract between
two parties without the
agreement of either party,
A huge rally was held at Maple
Leaf Gardens on December 18,
where 30,000 teachers, with the
support of the Opposition, showed
their solidarity against Tom
Wells.
In the next session of the
Legislature, Mr. Wells will be
introducing a more com-
prehensive Bill on teacher-school
hoard negotiation as well as his
Consolidated Education Act, both
of which will be referred to
committee for full discussion.
During the last session the
Government committed many
blunders. In the Budget,
Treasurer John White announced
that he would impose a tax on
energy consumed by the people of
Ontario. This proved to be a great
mistake, and the suggestion was
withdrawn after a few days of
concerted opposition attacks.
However, we could not con-
vince the Treasurer to withdraw
his 7 percent sales tax, which we
pointed out was a regressive
form of collecting money for the
coffers of the provincial govern-
ment,
Dr. Potter, the Minister of
Health, had his share of problems
as well. The Government finally
proclaimed its controversial
Denture Therapist Act, setting up
a new dental worker to fabricate
dentures only under the super-
vision of a dentist, Only 87 den,
turd therapists have been
licensed under the new Act, and
the denturists are continuing to
operate in open defiance of the
law.
A new issue brought to the
attention of the Legislature by
Albert Roy was the fact that
Imperial Optical has P.
stranglehold over the optical
industry in Canada. He pointed
out that all five members of the
Board of Ophthalmic Dispensers
were directly or indirectly em-
ployed by Imperial, and that this
constituted a conflict of interest,
Dr. Potter promised to look into
the situation but as yet nothing
has been done.
The long-awaited Health
Disciplines Act .has been
promised for the next session.
The Government said the first
five parts dealing with medicine,
dentistry, pharmacy, nursing
and optometry are ready, but the
exact time of introduction
remains unknown.
The Government released a
draft of the Ontario Building
Code which is substantially an
adoption of the National Building
Code with certain variations
necessary for use in Ontario. This
draft deals largely with technical
background for legislation to be
put forward in the spring. There
will be requirements for han-
dicapped persons, insulation
requirements for buildings,
amendments regarding smoke
control and more voice com-
munication in high-rise buildings.
An extremely important topic
of discussion in the Ministry of
Consumer and Commercial
Relations next session will be the
Green Paper on Consumer
Product Warranties in Ontario,
The Ministry will be holding
forums to hear the views of
consumers, retailers and
manufacturers on the proposals
in the Report.
The Ministry is also developing
a Fair Practices Act designed to
monitor and regulate food pricing
practices, misleading ad-
vertising and artificial shortages.
No-fault car insurance operated
through private insurance
companies is' also being studied
by the Ministry.
The Ministry of Labour has
announced that as of January 1,
1974, the minimum wage will be
$2.00 per hour, $2.25 per hour for
construction workers, and $1.65
per hour for students. Amend-
ments to the Employment
Standards Act,t.,eoneernitip,
payment for statutory holiday.s,.''.
vacation pay and overtime have
also been proposed. A general
review of the Act is expected in
the new year.
A new ministry of Housing was
created with Robert Welch ap-
pointed as Minister. The priority
for the Ministry will be the
provision of adequate housing for
all sectors of the community and
for all the socio-economic groups
in On,tario. It is forcasted that in
the next decade, Ontario will
need more than one million new
homes. With this end in mind, the
Ministry will be discussing in
detail the recommendations of
the recently-released Comay
Report on housing in Ontario.
Mr. Welch has also stated that
he plans to introduce new
legislation giving Toronto special
status so that it can build non-
profit housing for rental purposes
only, not for sale to individual
homeowners.
As traffic gets continually
worse in Metro Toronto, the
Government's only solution is the
futuristic new intermediate
capacity transit system to be
built by the Wegt German firm of
Krauss-Maffei. A test track is to
be built at the CNE, but the
system itself will not be
operational until the mid 1980's.
This will not help relieve traffic
problems during the next decade,
and there are growing doubts by
the TTC that the new magnetic
levitation, system may not be the
right thing for the needs of
Ontario.
The 'Government also had its
share of scandals last session. It
was discovered that Gerhard
Moog, a close personal friend of
the Premier, was awarded the
Contract for the construction of
the new Ontario Hydro
A Select Committee was setup to
investigate the matter and it was
found that Canada Square did in
fact get preferential con-
sideration by Ontario Hydro.
Leo Bernier, the Minister of
Natural Resources, made a
policy statement on the future of
Algonquin Park which was not
greeted favourably by the
Opposition. There were no
assurances by the Minister that
there would be regulations to'
control logging, no specification
of the areas to be designated as
wilderness or natural zones and
no assurances that the
proliferation of commercial
growth on the Highway 60
corridor would be contained.
The Government passed
amendments to the Planning Act
which will clear up the chaos and
uncertainty resulting from
checkerboard land titles. The
Government now has the
authority to validate land titles
resulting from checkerboarding
if a municipality so requests.
Also under the legislation,
ministerial approval will not be
required for appointments to the
planning boards and
redevelopment will not need

The Government introduced
legislation which will enable it to
create a system of parkway belts
around Toronto. In order that no
other development of the
proposed area takes place,
temporary land-use regulations
were introduced restricting any
new non-agricultural land uses in
the Parkway Belt, The Govern-
ment also set up a Niagara
Escarpment Commission to
prepare a draft plan for the
escarpment area. The Plan will
have as its goal the preservation
of the natural landscape of the
escarpment,
During the last year the
Government established five
more regional municipalities:
Durham, Peel, Haldimand-
Norfolk, Hamilton-Wentworth
and Halton, There are no further
regional municipalities planned
at the present time,
The Air Management Branch
of the Ministry of the Environ-
ment came under Opposition fire
for its failure to deal effectively
with the problem of lead
emissions in Toronto. The
Canada Metal Co, Ltd, on
Eastern Avenue has been
polluting the air in that neigh-
bourhood and several children
have been taken into hospital
suffering from overdoses of
lead.
The total number of bills
passed was 207.
May I take this opportunity to
extend to you Season's Greetings
with Best Wishes for the New
Year.
God be willing I will be back
with Jack Jottings . when the
