She was responding to a charge by Liberal Leader Stuart Smith that the 0 government “is still sur­ prised” by a boom in ap­ plications at the colleges and “is unable to act in ac­ cordance with it”. He cited a report by the chairman of the council of regents for community colleges, who said there are 90,000 for 40,000 first-year spaces at the colleges. In the Minister’s view, however, a more accurate figure for the number of applicants would be 55,000, when students who have applied to more than one college have been deducted. Opposition Parties have urged the Government to restore to municipalities the power to control the ar­ chitectural design of major developments. Bill 96, an Act to Amend the Planning Act, * which has now received second reading, would ap­ pear to remove this authority. However, the legislation must now go to committee for further debate. Opposition Members maintain that the Bill deletes the section which gives municipalities the power to review “perspective drawings and plans showing building elevations and cross-sections of industrial and commercial buildings, and residential buildings which contain 25 or more dwelling units. The Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations, Frank Drea, has given an assurance that new legislation will^ ensure protection against unfair evictions. A section of the proposed Residential HI Tenancies Act listing unfair grounds for eviction was deleted by the Legislature’s general government com­ mittee, but the Minister has stated that it would soon be strengthened and rein­ troduced. The acting chairman of the tenants federation told the committee he did not believe its argument that outlining specific areas of unfairness could tie the hands of the proposed Residential Tenancies Commission when it considers complaints. Liberal Margaret Camp­ bell stated quite firmly that the committee has no in­ tention of backing down on its initial proposals to strengthen protection of tenants. “Don’t you un­ derstand that- we are con­ cerned that there are many instances that might be unfair? Once you give a limited number of cir­ cumstances, a judge is in­ clined to look only for those circumstances.” Continuing reports of controversy at the Royal Ontario Musuem allegations mismangement of its $44.5 million renovation and ex­ pansion project have prompted the Legislature’s public accounts committee to look into its operation. There has been a great deal of discussion recently about the museum’s finances and on how long it will be closed to the public for renovation. The Committee has asked the Museum to supply financial information for analysis by the Provincial Auditor. However, the consent of the Legislature is necessary before the Auditor can be directed to examine the Museum’s books. Radioactive tritium was recently reported in the municipal water supply of Pickering Township, and was traced to leakage from the Pickering nuclear plant. However, the Minister of and o f Energy, James Auld, has told the Legislature that he has “positive assurances from Ontario Hydro that the traces routinely found in the water present absolutely no danger to people, wildlife, plant life, scotch drinkers or anybody else”. According to the Ministry of Education, the Govern­ ment has rejected the idea of making grade 13 English mandatory for all students who wish to enroll in Ontario's universities, on the basis that the need to impose a mandatory grade 13 English credit, particularly for those students continuing on to post-secondary study, has not been demonstrated. During the debate on the estimates of the Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs, the Minister Tom Wells, accused Quebec Premier Levesque of misleading Canadians and the people of Quebec by talking about a bright and prosperous future for that Province of Canada under sovereignty association and asserting that the impact of such an association will be minimal. In pushing for a resump­ tion of constitutional talks, he rejected Mr. Levesque’s suggestion of a moratorium on such talks until after the referendum on Quebec’s future. He stated that 'Ontario simply won’t go along with the “naive assumption that Quebec can bargain with the rest of Canada in order to have all the advantages of a wider economic association and, at the same time, have almost complete political autonomy”. However, Ontario’s sovereignty should not be taken to mean that the Province is not prepared to engage in negotiation to correct in­ justices, broaden national institutions and respond specific cultural issues. he said that position on association Four join church at Thames Road to That's What Dad Will Say When You Give Him A Pair Of Clarks WallabeBS They are made from soft tanned leather, which wraps right round the foot giving glove like comfort.
