The Land Speculation Tax Bill which would impose a 50 percent tax on the profits from speculative land and property, finally received second reading after four weeks of debate. Many amendments to the Bill were proposed and accepted by the Minister and after reprinting the Bill will go into third reading, Opposition members will continue to oppose the Bill in its rewritten form as it does not spell out the distinction between a speculator and an investor and Certain sections give the Minister of Revenue authority to make changes in the Bill through regulations which does not require debate by the Legislative Assembly or to remit the tax if there appears to be in- conveniences. A move was started in the Ontario Legislature to restrict voting in municipal elections to Canadian citizens. Donald Irvine, Minister without Portfolio, who is piloting amendments to the Municipal Elections Act through the House, was persuaded by the Liberal Party to propose the change. Mr. Irvine decided that an elector should be anyone, at least 18 years old on polling day, a resident of the municipality and a Canadian citizen. The clause "or other British subject" would be dropped from the present Election Act. The New Democratic Party argued that landed immigrants who have lived in Canada for one year should be allowed to vote. Mr. Irvine said he did not want to disenfranchise anyone, but said the NDP suggestion of the one year residency for immigrants was not acceptable. If voting is restricted to 'Canadians, Mr. Irvine favoured a grandfather clause being in- cluded so that British subjects already living in Ontario would still be able to vote. Ontario's 20a denturists who have been working illegally without supervision by dentists will be able to take examinations in August to qualify as denture there pists,Hea lth Minister Frank Miller told the Legislature. Under legislation introduced May 16, denture therapists will be permitted to make full dentures without supervision by dentists. Mr. Miller said dental clinic facilities at universities will only be available in August and there is an urgent need to conduct the examination, Denturists have opposed the Bill's provision that denture therapists will still not be allowed to make partial dentures, but Mr. Miller does not intend to negotiate on the matter. Ontario Housing Minister Sidney Handleman, released a sixty-four page report dealing with the policies and programs of the Ministry and setting a context for housing activities. The target for the housing action program is 12,000 housing units either built or approved this year that would not otherwise come on the market. Of these, 10 percent would come under the Homeownership Made Easy program for those earning less than $14,500 a year, Another 30 percent would be for those earning $14,500 to $20,000 a year with total monthly carrying charges about 25 percent of in- come and the remainder under some type of agreement with developers to ensure prices will not rise drastically. Liberal Leader Robert Nixon said the additional units would only bring the number of housing starts close to what it might have been if in fact the Government had not meddled with the housing policies at all. He said the additional $1 million to encourage municipal participation will not even balance the confusion created by the Land Speculation Tax Bill which is now in third reading. New Democratic Party Leader Stephen Lewis called the policy a complete cop out. He said it was housing for the rich because only 1200 of the new units are planned for those earning under $14,500 and he estimated 20 to n percent of the new units might go to those earning less than $15,000 while /3() percent of Ontario wage earners bring in less than that, Mr. Lewis concluded that the policy is not worth the paper it is printed on. Both Mr. Nixon and Mr. Lewis said housing starts in Ontario, will probably drop below last year's total of about 110,000 despite the Ministry's programs. Mr, Handleman said that Housing Action and other programs mean the government will be financing, at least in part, 31,000 housing units of the total starts he hopes for — "between 100,000 and 110,000". Of the 31,000 total, 12,000 are under the Housing Action program, 6,000 are homeownership made easy units ready this year, 10,000 are Ontario Housing Corporation units with rent geared to income, 2,000 are co-operative non-profit units under the Community sponsored housing program and about 1,000 are private housing units whose tenants receive government rent supplements. Solicitor General George Kerr, defended the police drug raid on the Landmark Motor Inn Hotel in Fort Erie, but said that he thought the police were wrong to conduct intimate inspection of all female patrons. Mr. Kerr told the Legislature that he has directed the Ontario Police Commission to investigate the May 11 raid in which 43 male and female patrons of the hotel were forced to strip. Mr, Kerr came under heavy criticism from Opposition members in the House for not promising a public enquiry into the police actions. New Democratic Party Leader Stephen Lewis said that an in- ternal investigation of the raid was not enough. "Police in- vestigating police is simply unacceptable". Ontario Transportation Minister John Rhodes read a seven-page statement in the Legislature which he said was necessary because of misleading and inaccurate statements regarding the proposal of a second Toronto waterfront air- port. Two members of a committee studying the possibility of a second airport on the Toronto Islands said the report was evidence of a provincial plan to ramrod the second airport through. One of the committee members said the report was Mr. & Mrs. Lorne Devine visited Wednesday afternoon in London at Victoria Hospital with their uncle Mr. Garnet Willert of Dashwood who underwent surgery. Fred Weiburg left Saturday afternoon to spend some holidays in Waterloo with his son, Gordon and wife and family. Willis Desjardine and Herb Little attended a fiddlers contest at Atwood Sunday afternoon. Ray Desjardine spent the weekend in Exeter with his McDonald cousins. Ruthie and Lisa Martin of Crediton spent the weekend with their grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. Les Adams. Mrs. Mabel Desjardine, her suppose to be technical but in her estimation, it was apparent that the provincial government is producing a plan that will be a fait accompli. Mr. Rhodes insisted that the report was indeed only technical and is in fact.a draft summary of previous reports prepared over the past ten years as a basis for discussion by the Committee at its next meeting. He assured the House that no decision had been taken by the Committee or by any level of government. He emphasized the fact that the federal government has sole responsibility for any decision on an expansion of the existing airport or the building of a new airport on the Toronto Islands. Controversial legislation setting out rules for contract negotiations between teachers and school boards won't be re- introduced until the fall, Education Minister Thomas Wells told the Legislature. One clause in the original Bill 275 which drew so much criticism was the refusal of teachers' rights to strike over contract demands. Mr. Wells re- introduced the Education Act previously known as Bill 255 and he said he wanted it sent to the Standing Committee on Social Development for lengthy examination and input from the public. The Bill is a consolidation of five other acts affecting both public and separate schools. Northern Ontario would like a medical school but James Auld, Minister of Colleges and Universities, said the cost of $85 million would be prohibitive. Added to the construction cost would be the annual operating cost which would amount to approxinately one third of that total. Mr. Auld also said there would have to be a minimum of 60 students in order to establish a medical faculty. I am pleased to inform the people of Huron that the Cabinet has formally approved the purchase of .52 acres of land in Clinton for the development of senior citizen housing by Ontario Housing Corporation.
