"More than 80 bills have been granted Royal Assent during this period. Among them, the new Employees' Health and Safety Act has brought into force key recommendations of the Royal Commission on the Health and Safety of Workers in Mines. The provisions enacted so far include establishment within a single ministry — the Ministry of Labour — of all responsibility for occupational health and safety legislation. "Further plans are in progress to extend the application of the proposals at the core of the report to include industrial safety and construction safety, and to produce in a comprehensive omnibus bill an occupational health code for working men and women throughout Ontario." "New legislation was in- troduced in the fall to establish a fairer and firmer structure of law in dealing with matrimonial property and in providing for support in cases of marriage breakdown. These family law reforms are the culmination of years of study and consultation based on recommendations of the Ontario Law Reform Com- mission. These family law reforms are the culmination of years of study and consultation based on recommendations of the Ontario Law Reform Com- mission. Passage of the legislation has been postponed to allow more time for responses from interested parties and for further' review," "New Select Committees of the Legislature have been appointed to investigate highway safety, transportation of goods and corporation law, and to review reports of the Ombudsman." "The House also received the final report of the Select Com- mittee on Ontario Hydro's proposed bulk power rates." "At the Federal-Provincial energy price negotiations, Ontario put forward the position that any price increase be related to production costs and to in- creasing the incentive to develop and expand energy production. It was, and remains, the Govern- ment's stand that energy cost increases should not be used as a means of providing additional revenues for governments at the consumer's expense." "At the ,same time, the Government of Ontario is aware of its responsibility in ensuring that, throughout the province, efforts be made to conserve all forms of energy in everyday use.. Ontario's energy management program to achieve savings in all sectors of the economy is well under way," "Over the past year, potential industrial energysavings of more than $15.6 million have been identified by the Ministry of Industry and Tourism's "Energy Bus" in its province-wide travels. Insulation requirements for housing to help conserve energy have been defined in the new Ontario Building Code which came into effect on April 1st. Energy Conservation Week, observed from October 31 to Eugene Whelan, federal minister of agriculture, said the Canadian dairy industry is doing a better job of reducing surplus stocks than the industry im many other countries. Speaking to about 450 Grey and Bruce County farmers in Hanover, the minister said in- dustrial milk production in Canada appears to be on target. He said that if production follows the current trend until the end of March, the 1976-77 dairy year will be what was predicted — 97 million hundredweight of industrial milk. Mr. Whelan said the Canadian Dairy Commission started the current dairy year with about 42 million pounds of butter in storage and expects to have about 10 million pounds at the end of March. He said Canadian dairy cattle exports were depressed in 1975, but added that last year they began to recover. Huron Plowmen Officers for 1977 were elected at the annual meeting of the Huron Plowmen's Association held in Winthrop on December29. Officers are: Past President, John Clark, RR 5 Goderich; President, W, J. Leeming, RR 4 Walton; 1st Vice President, James Armstrong, RR 4 Wingham; 2nd Vice President, Girvin Reed, Dungannon; Sec.- Treas., Russell Bolton, RR 1 Seaforth; Assistant Secretary- Trasurer, Graeme Craig, RR 1 Walton, The meeting agreed to affiliate with the Huron Federation of Agriculture and Allan Turnbull of Grand Bend was appointed to represent the Plowmen on that organization. Members indicated that the 1976 match on the Ken Duncan farm at Kirkton was the best ever held since the organization was formed in 1924. There were 18 entries in the horse class and 45 entries in the tractor classes with 19 entries in the Junior Match on the preceding Thursday. No decision was taken con- cerning the site of the local match in 1977. While several sites were being considered members suggested a decision should be deferred until later and that in the meantime an invitation be issued to any who might be in- terested in providing ac- commodation for the match to get in touch with any of the executive, EXETER DISTRICT November 6, had appreciable results in schools, businesses and municipalities throughout the province." "A new 5-year agreement between Ontario and the Federal Government, signed March 12, ensures fulfillment of continuing obligations on Canada and the United States to improve the quality of the Great Lakes, The agreement includes provision for prior consultation between Canada and Ontario on all proposals for discussion with the United States, and places greater emphasis than before on en- vironmental assessment and protection." "Within the province, it has been the expressed policy of the Ontario Government to ensure thorough consultation with the public in issues of major long- term significance. The Provin- ce's economic priorities and their protection to the end of the anti- inflation program and beyond are among several such questions now facing all Ontarians." "As announced recently, the Government will be inviting representatives of Ontario's labour, business, consumer, agricultural and . social organizations to participate in a conference, next February 10 and 11, to be entitled "Partnership for Prosperity". The conference will provide a forum for discussion on the future direction of the provincial economy and the post- controls period." "Ontario's first Environmental Assessment Board was appointed in April to perform the essential function of reviewing assessments of major public development projects that may have significant effects on the environment. The new Board also assumed the activities of the Environmental Hearing Board under the Environmental Protection Act and the Ontario Water Resources. Act." "In October, terms and con- ditions for the proposed development of a new integrated forest industry complex in North- western Ontario created a framework for the most intensive environmental evaluation of this kind for any undertaking by the private sector. This review, under the provisions of the Environmental Assessment Act, 1975, will be undertaken by Mr. Justice Patrick Hartt. "The scope of the inquiry will encompass the social, cultural and economic interests of Nor- thern residents, Ultimate ap- proval of the projected enterprise will depend on proposals for a comprehensive forest management program, satisfactory environmental safeguards and the protection of native rights, If approved, the project anticipates an investment of $400 million and the creation of some 1,200 new jobs," Dairy doing better according to Whelan "In the first eight months of last year we shipped more than 30,000 head of dairy cattle, about twice as many as in the same eight months in 1975." Mr. Whelan also said sales of skim milk powder are declining. Skim milk powder was one of the best food bargains in Canada because it was only about one- third the cost of skim milk fluid. "If you mix it up half-and-half with whole milk, the resulting two-percent milk costs only 39 cents a quart. Yet consumers bought less skim milk powder last year than they did in 1975. I get letters from consumers complaining about food prices in Canada and then I see they're not taking advantage of a bargain like this. "It just proves to me what I've been saying all along, that' food is such a bargain in this country that people take it for granted." Mr, Whelan criticized the news media for its coverage of the dairy industry. He Said there are too many reporters in Canada writing "on topics on which they have no knowledge, including agriculture." He said recent reports that the Canadian dairy industry is inefficient are "false, false, false," He singled out a CBC-TV program, the Roger's Report, as one recent example of inaccurate reporting on the dairy industay. ROAST HILL Gordon Hill of Varna, retired president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, will be honoured at a special banquet and dance on January 27 at the Royal York Hotel. According to information from the OFA office, "the format will be a humourous 'Roast' of Gordon which should provide a very entertaining evening," Speakers will include provincial treasurer Darcy McKeough, federal agriculture minister Eugene Whelan, Everett Biggs, George McCague, CFPL's farm editor from Lon- don, Roy Jewel, and Earl Maberley. • Mr. Hill announced at the • annual convention of the OFA in Hamilton he wasn't seeking re- election as president. He had served seven years as head of the federation. The OFA says the tickets for the banquet and dance will cost $10 each, enough to provide a gift for Mr. Hill, and will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis. They can be ordered from the OFA's central office at 387 Bloor Street E., Toronto. 15% OFF OUR ALREADY LOW PRICE ON ALL COATS AND VESTS 235-2081 CO-OP Streptomycin $354 ea. 100 ml Indicated in the treatment of a broad spectrum of livestock diseases and in fection.
