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 Page 8 . , . 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 positively to the care and • Classic designs in crystal • Beautiful china figurines a Serving trays • Quality decanter sets • Wooden salad bowls and accessories A tvY g ill :LM! 4. 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. q TIES 0 SHIRTS q SWEATERS O SOCKS q PYJAMAS O ROBES O SLACKS Earl Campbell is extremely proud of his Christmas complete satisfaction on anything you purchase. :1,13 3,13 3)3 • Beautiful watches for men and women • Hundreds of exquisite charms • Colourful candles • Decorator designed wall clocks • Diamond rings for your loved one Family and special occasion rings FOR THE MAN ON YOUR LIST . . .
