Legislation to legalize anti-inflation controls BY JACK RIDDELL Members of the Legislature were summoned back to an emergency session to consider legislation introduced by the ,Premier, that would retroac- tively legalize an arrangement BUILDING IMPURE with Ottawa, placing Provincial and Municipal employees under the control of the Federal Anti- Inflation Board. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Ontario's previous arrangement with Ottawa, passed by Cabinet Order-in- Council without being referred to the Legislature was illegal. The Liberals moved last fall to set up a Provincial Anti-Inflation Board to deal with the Public Sector in Ontario, but the NDP opposed the motion. As a result the Provincial and Municipal workers were placed under the control of the Federal Anti- Inflation Board. The Liberal Party still believes there should be a Provincial Board but indicated in the Debate of this Emergency Legislation that it was too late to set one up now, as 82,673 Ontario workers have already been affected by the AIB decisions as of June 25, 1976 and a great many more had been affected since then which are not tabulated yet. Of those 55,290 are in the Public Sector and the remainder ob- viously in the Private sector. The AIB has made decisions on 987 cases as of June 25, 1976 of which 186 are Ontario Public service and 149 Ontario private sector. In other words about one third of the decisions involve Ontario workers. The Leader of the Liberal Party, Dr. Stuart Smith, during the debate went on to say that the Federal A.I.B. has built up a whole backlog of jurisprudence. They have built up the ex- perience, they have trained the staff. They have gained the ex- perience that is necessary. Dr. Smith went on to say that it does not seem reasonable that we should now duplicate all that, start all over again in Ontario, retrain everyone here, have them go through all the learning process and duplicate the whole bureaucracy at the Ontario level at this point It was a good idea last fall when the Federal A.I.B, was first established but it was too late now and as a result the Liberal Party supported this legislation made necessary when the Supreme Court of Canada rejected Ontario's entry into the program with an Order-In- Council last January. The NDP opposed the Bill because it opposes the Anti- Inflation policy. There was lengthy debates on the bill but it received third reading and was proclaimed by late afternoon on Thursday. The House will be recessed for the summer months until called back this fall by the Lieutenant Governor or earlier if another emergency arises, such as Legislative approval to close hospitals, if the Court of Appeal rules that the Provincial Government acted illegally in closing Clinton, Durham, Chesley and Doctors' Hospital in Toronto. However, the closing of Doc- tors' Hospital is being recon- sidered by the Minister of Health, Frank Miller. Mr. Miller an- nounced in the Legislature this week that the Ontario Council of Health, will take a fresh look at whether Doctors' Hospital should close. Doctors' is one of nine hospitals the Government ordered closed last spring and one of four, that has remained open following a May 10 Divisional Court ruling. that the method of closing was not proper. The Government has appealed the ruling to the Ontario Court of Appeal and expects a decision in September, The move has been seen by some as preparation by the Government for a fall or winter election precipitated by the hospital closing issue. Mr. Miller indicated that if the Government loses its appeal, he wants to in- troduce whatever legislation is necessary to enable the Govern- ment to close the three other hospitals that had remained opened in Durham, Chesley and Clinton. Both Opposition Parties have said repeatedly that they will oppose legislation to allow the closing of these hospitals. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith said that he feels the Government has managed to get aside the thorny issue of Doctors' Hospital thus detachment officers charged 71 drivers under the Highway Traffic Act and issued warnings to, another 60. There were nine charges under the Criminal Code and a similar number under the Liquor Licence Act. Three thefts and three break and enters were also in- vestigated. Well liked bus driver "He was a great guy"! That was the comment of an Usborneltownship school student when he learned of the recent death of long-time bus driver Harold Simpson. Simpson enjoyed a career in the bus and transportation business of 40 years without an accident. He started in the delivery business in Toronto in 1936 with Bamford and Company when some deliveries were done by horse and cart. Coming to this area in 1943 he drove truck for Guenther Transport and drove school bus for some time before taking a position at RCAF Centralia. He went back to bus driving in 1966 with Exeter Coach Lines. During his bus driving career, Simpson drove two generations of several families to and from school. He retired from the bus lines only a few months ago and was approached by students on several occasions to return but could not because of health reasons. An avid lawn bowler he com- peted in a tournament at Clinton only the day before his death. autumn 44444 111111111111111111111111111111L11111111.: ADAMS Heating & Cooling • Heating Systems 1 of All Types E-: INSTALLED, MODERNIZED E.-- E- and MAINTAINED • General Sheet Metal Work E. 1: E E 2 = il • Ventilation • Air Conditioning i • Humidifiers = ::. = = = E. = = 235-2187 = = 5, 133 Huron t„ East, Exeter :;: 111111111111i II I II i I I I II i te I 111111010 II IIM 0 I e I Ig said reputedly that they will oppose legislation to allow the closing of these hospitals and this of course, could be considered as a vote of non confidence by the Premier which would lead to an election possibly this fall. A select committee of the Ontario Legislature has been established to review Ombusd- man Arthur Maloney's report on provincial government land acquisition in North Pickering. The report was presented to the Legislature by Mr. Maloney after talks between the Ombudsman and Premier William Davis failed to produce any agreement. It is the first time an Ombud- sman's report has reached the House, which is the final stage provided for in the legislation that created the office of Ombudsman. The proposal of a select committee of eight members from all three parties, under the chairmanship of James Renwick (NMDP Riverdale), was passed unanimously.

On Thursday, vehicles operated by Walter Bowley, London, and Roy A. Westcott, RR 3 Exeter, collided on concessions 2-3 of Usborne. Constable Don Mason set damage at $1,625. The other two crashes occurred on Saturday. A vehicle driven by Kenneth Denomme, Exeter, rolled over on sideroad 20 in Stephen Township at Devil's Elbow. Damage was set at $175 by Constable Bill Lewis. The other accident was a two- vehicle collision on Highway 83, two and a half miles west of County Road 11. Drivers involved were Wendy Scott, Milverton, and John Langdon, RR 2 Tavistock. Damage in that was listed at $2,500 by Constable W. Tomasik.

It is my opinion that Doctors' Hospital will be finally rescued by the newly announced study but I believe that if Doctors' Hospital is saved the Government will not be able to avoid similar studies in the areas where the other three hospitals are to be closed. I can see no practical impediments to a Province-wide study, Mr. Miller indicated while the Province may eventually do similar studies elsewhere none will be done in time to save the three small hospitals. The Minister of Health's intention is to close them and he said himself that he feels more secure about the closing of the other three than the closing of Doctors' Hospital. Pending the decision of the Court of Appeal, I believe that the Minister will have to give the same consideration to the other hospitals which appealed the closings in the first place or come to the Legislature for approval to close the hospitals.
