The Select Commit- tee of which I was appointed as one 'of the members, was estab- lished and it will be travelling to various parts of Ontario listening to briefs presented by concerned citizens pertaining to such mat- ters as: the regulation and control of traffic through enforcement—str- icter enforcement of the laws that pertain to drinking driving offences for all ages—driver examination and Jicencing stand- The new Huron County Housing Authority was inaugurated earlier : this • month under the Ministry of Housing!s plan to decentralize assisted housing management to a more local level and expand the local housing authority (141A) system. The authority, supersedes the Dedication ards—driver improvement and rehabilitation including the de- merit point system and traffic clinics—an assessment of poten- tial benefits of photos on non ceunterfeitabie licences and met- hods of implementation and administration—an assessment of benefits of a vehicle registration and title system—an assessment of benefits of Ontario's motor vehicle inspection program—the transportation of children to and from school and the vehicles and their drivers—the licencing of driving schools—equipment sta- ndards for two trucks—operation of multiple vehicle combination (pup trailers)—the benefits of the application of a penalty against any person who leaves keys in the ignition lock of an unattended motor vehicle—the most appropriate type ,of helmet, for moped riders—and suet] other matters as may be referred to the foriner Clinton Housing Authority which had been in abeyance for some time, and the Goderich Housing Authority whose chairman was Harold Shore of Goderieh. The authority office is located in Goderich. Harold Knisley of Goderich is chairman of the new authority. Other members • are: Jack Delbridge of Exeter, Frank 'Sills of Seaforth and Ken Flett of Clinton, The total Ontarie Housing Corporation portfolio under management includes 301 senior citizen and family housing rental units in 'Clinton, Goderich, Bayfield, Exeter, Seaforth, Wingham and Brussels. A further citizen00 senior family housing rental units are ' under development in Seaforth, Zurich, Blyth and Wingham. Housing Minister John Rhodes commented recently on the ministry's policy of further, decentralization of housing management, with the transfer of, all OHC direct management portfolios to local housing authorities. ".`The . system ensures that management will remain sen- sitive to local needs and priorities by putting it'in the hands of local public-spirited citizens, and yet be autonomous to act in the best interests of the whole community," he said. at graduation By MRS, J.

In mid-June, Murray Gaunt (L, Huron-Bruce) and Ed Good (L. Waterloo North), with two Members of the New Democratic Party attended a Parliamentary Symposium commemorating the Centennial of the Quebec Nation- al Assembly. This Symposium was attended by parliamentarians from all the Provinces of Canada, the House of Commons in Ottawa and ' representatives from Eng- land, - France and the United States. Under discussion were two major topics: (a) the. Memb- er of Parliament - legislator, mediator or ombudsman; and (b) Parliament the institution and the image it projects. On these topics a number of different viewpoints were ex- pressed, not only by foreign parliamentarians, but also by members representing the var- ious provinces. It was generally conceded that the role of . the , Member as a legislator, while most interesting, was not highly visible to the constituent, The point was also made by several delegates that in many instances . hours of debate take place on legislation about which the final outcome is a foregone.conclusion. The Government in power brings in legislation drafted- by civil servants, which tends to reflect the views of the govern • - ment members, and it is the responsiblility of opposition mem- bers to improve, and Where nec- essary, oppose such legislation. In this respect, it was felt that woko rr- opposition members meet with varying degrees of success, not only in parliaments around the world, but also in the legislatures here in Canada. One of the frus- trations of such debate is that the mood of the Minister piloting the sill through the legislature or parliament is frequently a more important factor than the validity of the amendments in Achieving a change in the original legislation. At the Symposium, the dele- gates from Ontario represented the only jurisdiction where a minority government exists. Qb- viopsly, the role of the legislator is very different ancj more chat- Jengitig in these circumstances, There was general agreement among the delegates that a member's work as a mediator between government and con- stituent, and also as an ombuds- man, is of very great importance, The inability of the public at large to fight a way 'through government bureaucracy appear- ed almost . universal. It was felt that parliamentarians are progressively being called upon more often to assist those who have problems with government bureaucracy and red tape. The image of parliaments and parliamentarians was the subject of considerable discussion. Am- erican delegates referred to Watergate and other scandals which have been much in the news. Most delegates were in agreement with the idea that the image of parliaments needs to be improved. While the actions and attitude, of the news media does have a considerable influence on this image, it was generally felt that in the final analysis the behaviour and con- duct of parliamentarians create the image projected to the public. Some suggestions for improving the image of parliament were the inclusion 01 television and radio coverage of debates, return to better parliamentary pro- cedure and behaviour within the legislature, and . a need for greater communication between government and the people. Won't haul some refuse Exeter council agreed this week to use Some' discretion in the types of refuse they will remove for local. residents. ' Among the first affected will be a William St. property owner who this week pulled out two large trees and left them on the boulevard for the works department. Councillor Bob Simpson said the trees were from 25 to 30 feet in height and two men cbuldn't lift them. He suggested a letter be sent the, ratepayer in question advising that the trees would not be removed. "We .have to take a stand," Simpson said, suggesting it . wasn't right to expect the works• department to'.pick up such types of debris. It was agreed that works superintendent Glenn Kells would have to, use his discretion in such matters arid when he felt the type of refuse set out was not acceptable, he is,to have the clerk write the property owner to advise that it will not be picked up.
