HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1979-01-04, Page 18Page 18 Times-Advocate, January 4, 1979 Strange headlines Some people made headlines this year for the strangest reasons. For example, Robert Jackson, head of the Commission on Declining Enrolment, for his bizarre remarks about test tube babies, paying women to have children, and racial suicide. Chastised by MPPs for gratuitous, insulting, thoughtless and racist statements, he solemnly promised not to offend again. One Minister caused a furor about topless waitresses; another’s ‘‘‘workfare” proposal was characterized as outrageous, inflammatory and idiotic. The former Solicitor- General resigned after it was disclosed he had telephoned an Assistant Crown Attorney in connection with the sentencing of a constituent. A Deputy Minister was found guilty of contempt of court: he had relieved a Huronia Regional Centre counsellor of his position because he had kicked a mentally retarded woman in the face. The counsellor was later transferred to a job in another ministry where he would no longer have direct contact with residents in any provincially-run institution. Amendments to the Mental Health Act affecting civil commitment, confidentiality and the role of the Public Trustee were given Third Reading, as was the con­ troversial bill on Occupational Health and Safety. Rent controls were ex­ tended at the 6 percent ceiling until the end of 1980, and there was considerable debate on the subject of exemptions under the legislation, plus the fact that the Residential Tenancies Act now permits the eviction of tenants for breaking a landlord’s “house rules.” Stuart Smith urged the government to establish special arson squads to-‘in­ vestigate fires such as that which killed three Etobicoke firemen. MPPs signed a petition moving that the annual report of the High­ way Transport Board be referred to the Resources Development Committee - in connection with the Board’s decision to deny truck operating licenses to United Parcel Services Ltd. The Government was under fire because of grants to the Toronto tabloid "Strike" which published pictures of bullet-riddled bodies, advocating terrorism and stating that it "supports leg shooting knee-capping to accelerate the demise of the old system.” We learned that eight to ten municipal bridges collapse every year in Ontario, but motorists need have no fear of using deficient bridges if they respect posted load limits! Ontario’s legal drinking age was raised from 18 to 19, and amendments to the Liquor Control Act also tightened penalties for impaired driving con­ victions. The Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations announced revised advertising directives for producers of alcoholic beverages, which were more restrictive and com­ prehensive than previous guidelines. The Family Law Reform Act, described as the most significant piece of social reform legislation to be passed in Ontario in the last fifty years, went into effect March 31st. It recognized marriage as a partnership between two people - no matter who works where and who actually brings home the paycheque. The Minister of Com­ munity and Social Services indicated that the Province will have to play a much larger role in supervising children’s aid societies in the light of a report that they have failed to protect children from abuse or violent deaths. In 1977, some 1,045 child abuse cases were reported - 13 resulted in death. We learned that more than 500,000 Canadian children suffer from learning disabilities - a crisis which should alter provincial priorities. Legislation was passed on the removal of pituitary gland during autopsies. From this gland an extract is prepared which corrects the hormone deficiency causing dwarfism in children. The Minister of Health proposed a nine-month ban, except for medical emergencies, on sterilization of retarded children under 16, and Dr. Daniel Hill, former head of the Ontario Human Rights Commission, was appointed to review all current information on new religious cults, Stuart Smith spear-headed the questioning of the government about the practice of some food store chains of deducting money from payments to suppliers for produce, as part of the chains’ advertising costs. It was disclosed that chain stores also demand from suppliers sizeable payments or discounts with respect to volume, promotion, etc. as a condition for handling products. This type of discount is frequently much higher than 2 percent. In fact, there were indications that the per­ centage escalates to 10 percent, 15 percent or even 20 percent. A Food Industry Trade Practices Com­ mission was established to investigate the whole matter. Under pressure from the Opposition, the Minister of Health announced that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police would be denied further access to OHIP files, and appointed an Ontario Supreme Court Judge, Mr. Justice Horace Krever, to head a provincial inquiry into the history of this practice. Of course, the big issues throughout the year were the economy and unem­ ployment. ' Environmental questions also loomed large. I’d like to review these matters for you in my next week's report.

EXETER Huron-Middlesex MP Bob McKinley reports that the Minister of Employment and Immigration has announced the 1979 Young Canada Works program. This program, which has been employed for several years is intended to provide summer jobs for students. In 1979 the emphasis will be not only on providing income for students, but also on helping them gain useful experience which will enhance their future job prospects. “In this constituency we have presently a nine per­ cent official unemployment rate among our young people between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four," says McKinley. "While not eradicating that problem the Young Canada Works Program provides a valuable opportunity to many students and confers benefits on the community as a whole.” Application forms and guidelines for proposals under the program are available from Canada Employment centres. Interested groups and in­ dividuals may get detailed help from project officers at the Job Creation Branch office nearest them. In London, the Job Creation Branch telephone number is 6794030. In Kit­ chener the number to call is 743-4187. Applicants are advised to act without delay so that their completed applications will be returned before the final application date. This year the date comes early. The completed proposals must be mailed to the Willowdale office of the Job Creation Branch by February 2. By MRS.
