By JACK RIDDELL
MPP Huron-Middlesex
This week in the
Legislature I introduced a
bill, The Agricultural
Investment Disclosure Act,
1979. The purpose of the Bill
is to establish a means of
ascertaining the nature and
extent of non-resident
ownership of agricultural
land in Ontario.
The Bill requires every
non-resident person, as
defined in the Act, to submit
a report to the Minister of
Agriculture and Food con
cerning each purchase of
agricultural land. The Bill
also requires land registrars
in Ontario to inform the
minister about every con
veyance of agricultural land
registered by the land
registrar that bears an af
fidavit indicating that the
transferee is a non-resident
person.
The Minister must report
to the Legislative Assembly
on an annual basis con
cerning the nature and ex
tent of non-resident
ownership of agricultural
land and the report is then
referred to a standing
committee of the Assembly
for consideration.
A White paper outlining
sweeping changes in the
Planning Act would give the
Ontario Municipal Board the
final say in most planning
matters, and prevent ap
peals to the Cabinet except in
matters of wider provincial
interest.
The paper released by
Housing Minister Claude
Bennett this week, generally
would give local govern
ments more power to deal
with their own planning.
But Ontario promised
detailed “regulations, policy
circulars and planning
guidelines” which it will
expect municipalities and
the 0MB to use in bylaws
and appeals. Under the
changes, the Housing
Minister would decide what
appeals would be allowed.

obtain the findings of polls
done by ministries, which
they fear the governing
Conservatives will use at
election time to further the
party cause even though the
cost was borne by the public.
The Ontario Government
spent more than $434,000 in
public money last year to
find out what the public
thinks of some of its
programs.
In a written answer tabled
in the Legislature this week,
to a question by Liberal
Patrick Reid (Rainy River),
Management Board
Chairman George McCague
refused to release results of
the polls that were done. He
said they are “working
documents for the
development of policy, and it
is not the practice of the
Government to release
material of this nature.” He
did however, say what polls
were done, and what they
cost taxpayers.
From April 1, 1978 until
April 1, 1979, the following
polls were taken for internal
use of ministries:
Consumer and Com
mercial Relations paid
Market Facts of Canada Ltd.
$45,000 to find out public
attitudes to censorship,
gambling and liquor policy,
all controversial issues
during the past year.
The Education Ministry
paid Canadian Gallup Poll
Ltd. $23,280 to study public
attitudes toward schools
“including major concerns,
interest in adult education,
awareness of, and opinions
on, education finances.”
Restraint on school board
budgets has been a major
issue in education for several
years.
Gallup also got $23,000
from the Health Ministry to
look into “the awareness of a
ministry media campaign
whose topic was the control
of health care costs.” That
issue, from the Govern
ment’s unsuccessful attempt
to close hospitals to its
current campaign to
eliminate hospital beds and
its almost yearly increases
in health insurance plan
premiums, is perhaps the
most significant political
issue in current provincial
politics.
