MPP Huron-Middlesex
The Minister of Colleges
and Universities, Dr. Bette
Stephenson, has told the
Legislature that if there are
too many applicants to
Ontario’s 22 community
colleges this fall, many of
those who are unsuccessful
could find places in privately
run industrial training
programs and at private
vocational schools.
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.
