By JACK RIDDELL
A Legislative Committee after
sitting for five days, decided to
delay the passage of the Family
Law Reform bill introduced this
session, until next year. This,
they say will give interested
groups more time to make
submissions,
Attorney General, Mr. Roy
McMurtry said he would have
been delighted to have had the
new laws in effect before
Christmas but he was concerned
that undue haste would produce a
document something less than
what might otherwise be the
case.
The Bill will die on the Order
Paper next week when the House
prorogues and will have to be
reintroduced by the Attorney
General when the new session
opens.
The Committee agreed to
advertise for public submissions
again next year to give clause-by-
clause consideration to the bills
in the committee rather than in
the House where the public
cannot take part in the debates,
The Attorney General also
intends to raise the minimum
marriage age from 14 to 16.
Both Opposition Leaders called
upon the Government to have an
emergency debate on the
Greyhound-Gray Coach c on-
troversy, which they considered
to be a matter of urgent public
importance, which should take
precedence over other matters.
After strong and growing
pressure in the Legislature, the
Ontario Cabinet has told the
Ontario Highway Transport
Board to reconsider the decision
to allow Greyhound Lines of
Canada Ltd. to compete with the
publicly owned Gray Coach Lines
Ltd. As Stuart Smith has pointed
out, this would be equivalent to
Ontario handing over a $10

Times-Advocate, December 16, 1970•
million public asset to a U.S.
controlled company,
The Minister of Transportation
and Communications has asked
the OHTB to re-examine the
economic impact of the decision,
and determine how this will af-
fect bus service to smaller
communities and Gray Coach
finances. T.T.C. and union of-
ficials have warned that some 245
jobs could be lost and the com-
pany put in the red by $300,000,
although the president of
Greyhound has said the new
routes to be granted his company
would "increase employment in
Ontario by at least 90 jobs - and
perhaps as many as 130".
According to the Minister, his
decision to ask for the review is
not a reversal of government
policy, nor a. hearing of the
decision itself. It is more a review
of the consequences of the
decision. Stuart Smith and
Stephen Lewis have attacked the
Minister over statements he has
made about the Board's decision
which indicate, they say, that he
has already made up his mind.
Stuart Smith maintains that the
review is "an admission of the
Board's failure to deal
adequately with the matter,"
The Provincial Secretariat for
Social Development, The'
Honourable Margaret Birch, told
the Legislature this week that
Family Court Judges will no
longer have the power to send
children who have committed no
crime to training schools.
On January 1, 1977, an
amendment repealing Section 8
of the Training Schools Act, will
be proclaimed. Section 8 of the
Training Schools Act, allows a
Family Court Judge to establish
alternative placement for the
children in training schools under
Section 8.
As of December 3 of this year
there were 786 children still in the
wardship of the Minister of
Correctional Services under
Section 8 of the Training Schools
Act. Of this total 103 are in
Training Schools. Others are in
group homes, foster homes,
special treatment centres and
their own homes. Mrs, Birch said
that after proclamation, some
will remain where they are. She
said she would place herself in an
unconscionable position if all of
these children were to have their
wardship terminated on January
1, with no regard for their care,
Many of them responding

treatment they are receiving and
it would be irresponsible to move
them from their community
placements.
Of the 103 children still in
Training school 42 are expected
to be returned to their own
homes. Another 15 children will
be placed in the Ministry's group
homes and 26 will go to ministry-
supervised foster homes. Twenty
others will be placed in boarding
homes, treatment centres and
special facilities.
The aim of the Ministry of
Correctional Services is to have
moved all Section 8 wards from
Training Schools by September 1,
1977, and to terminate wardships
under Section 8 just as soon as
suitable alternatives to wardship
can be found.
Mrs. Birch assured the
Legislature that the repeal of
Section 8 is a necessary and
proper action, and that her
Ministry is continuing to
"grapple with some of the large
issues surrounding the problems
of those children who require
special attention."
Some adminstrative steps have
already been taken, Qn
November 23, the Minister of
Health issued a directive
restricting the circumstances
under which a psychiatric
hospital can lay charges against
children in their care. Charges
cannot be brought simply to
relocate a child who is difficult to
manage and each case must be
reviewed by the Minister.
The Minister of Natural
Resources, Mr. Leo Bernier, has
stated that his Ministry is seeking
ways 01 easing the Province out
of the camping business. He has
said the Government would like
to drop the financial burden of the
21,000 campsites in 123 provincial
parks, which last year attracted
more than 1,500,000 campers. It is
estimated that the campgrounds
lose something like $9.5 million
annually, and the government
would like almost all provincial
campsites to be in the hands of
private enterprise companies.
However it would seem that it
could take approximately 20
years to hand over all the i camp-
sites, The Minister made t clear
that any new provincial parks
would not have campgrounds in
them, and he indicated that no
campgrounds are under con-
struction at present.
