Home My WebLink AboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1977-11-17, Page 13By JACK'RIDDELL MPP Huron-Middlesex Recently, the Executive Director of the Ontario Hospital Association said that hospitals might have to impose a $5 a day fee on patients and lay off 4,000 medical workers to stay within budget, The Minister of Health has announced that awhile hospitals May have to close active treat- ment beds and reduce staff by attrition, he has no intention of introducing deterrent fees. Lay- offs were a possibility, The reason for the hospitals' financial problems is that grants from the province will not keep pace with the rate of inflation, oforecast by Ottawa to run at about 6 percent. In a speech to the OHA, the Minister outlined exactly what they can expect in terms of money until at least 1980: no increase in capital expenditure for two years; further reduction in active treatment beds by in- . creasing outpatient, home and I 1 I mospoimulippopoo r 110.1111110111.1.0.101101110.1.1411.1111- SAYINGS MIDNIGHT MADNESS THREE HOURS ONLY'.

According to the Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations, many firms offering instant cash for income tax refunds will be driven out of business in Ontario by legislation limiting their, profits. The legislation will make it illegal fer tax, discounterS to take more than 5 percent of the refund owing to a taxpayer, including overpayments of unemployment insurance premiums and Canada Pension Plan contributions. He told the Legislature that 45 income tax discounters in the province this year charged up to 50 percent, of refunds, Con- travention of the legislation calls for fines of up to $5,000, Unreasonable fees for any ser- vice, including Completion of the income tax, form, are also to be made illegal. The Provincial Treasurer has announced that some 140,000 of the Province's low-wage earners won't have to pay provincial tax on their incomes next year. Tax exemptidns will apply to single people earning up to $5,146, married couples earning up to $7,419, and married couples with two children having a maximum family income of $8,360. Opposition Members maintain that the public should no longer be asked to have blind faith in the ability of the police to control organized crime, because too little information is available on the extent of such organized crime and police measures to Combat it. Pat Reid (Liberal MPP, Rainy River) said the time has come to let the public know how deep the "tentacles of organized crime" go within the Province. The Solicitor-General once again rejected the Opposition's demands for a public inquiry into this matter, although he admitted that organized crimd in Ontario is a major problem in the areas of loansharking, gambling, fraud, investment in legitimate businesses that subsequently operate illegally, drugs and pornography. Liberal MPP Robert Nixon has introduced a Private Member's Bill that would make insurance of all motor vehicles in Ontario compulsory. Drivers would no longer be able to pay $100 into the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund to avoid buying insurance, Introducing the Bill, Mr, Nixon alluded to increased use of roads at higher speeds "and oc- casionally ruinous losses arising out of motor accidents" when the offending driver is not insured. A caseload crisis in Ontario courts has the potential to un- dermine the quality of justice, according to the Attorney- General. Significant reforms of the administration of the courts would be required to improve the situation. He also reported that the Government has expanded the use of French in the criminal division of its provincial courts, to provide service to 66 percent of Ontario's French-speaking residents. The Attorney-$eneral and Solicitor-General met with high- ranking officers of the criminal investigation and national security divisions of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and were assured that the force is operating within the law in this province. It was acknowledged that the RCMP had investigated the Ontario New Demecratic Party, but no details were given. Stuart Smith questioned the Premier about foreign parent firms who refuse to allow their Canadian subsidiaries to com- pete in export markets, citing Anaconda Canada Ltd. of Toronto as a firm which may have to close for this reason. The'premier indicated he has no intention of setting strict conditions under which com- panies may establish new plants in Ontario, stating that imposing conditions on investment is not the ideal method of attracting new industry to the Province. However, allowing foreign parent companies to set the rules is, surely disastrous. • A Cabinet source said in the early part of the week that the Government would probably not "dare to go through with" legislation to raise the drinking age to 19. Telegrams and letters have simply poured into Queen's Park following reports that Government Members would reject the Private Member's Bill of Remo Mancini, MPP (Liberal, Essex-South) to raise the drinking age. There have been rumours also that even if the Government did not oppose the Bill on second reading, it would be allowed to die on the order paper at the end of the session, leaving the Government to introduce its own legislation next year. The Premier freed Conservative Members to vote according to their conscience, and as a result, the Bill passed approval in principle, and will now go for clause by clause consideration.
