There has been con
siderable discussion about
the status Qi _
Occupational Health and
Safety Act,
amended by a committee of
the Legislature, broadening
the scope of the legislation to
include all workers in the
non-agricultural sector,
including public servants.
In addition, having held
meetings with management
and labour groups, we have
concluded that there are
certain relatively safe work
places, such as offices and
retail shops, where health
and safety committees
would be required only in
exceptional circumstances.
For these work places,
committees could be
established at the discretion
of the Minister, rather than
on a mandatory basis.
The Minister of Labour has
raised strong objections to
drastic alteration of the bill,
and has suggested there
should be separate
legislation for groups such as
policemen, firemen, em
ployees of general and
psychiatric hospitals as well
as farm workers.
She has refused to consider
the question of coverage for
farm workers as a separate
issue from the general
question of widening the
scope of the bill. The NDP’s
position is that they want the
amended bill re-introduced,
so that it extends to everyone
the right to refuse unsafe
work.
Liberal Leader Stuart
Smith raised the question in
the Legislature this week
about the practice by which
supermarket chains demand
a two percent discount on
produce from produce
growers and shippers,
allegedly in order to promote
Ontario produce.
Responding at first to the
question, the Minister of
Agriculture and Food, Mr.
William Newman said to his
knowledge and as far as his
Ministry is concerned, the
chain stores were not
charging producers for the
promotion of Ontario
produce on any of the
produce they were buying.
He said prices were
negotiated from time to time
between the producers and
the chain stores, which he
felt was fair in a free
terprise system, but
agreed to look into
situation.
Later in the week in a
statement to the House he
reported that the matter had
been looked into and it was
found that the discount did
exist but that it was not
widespread. As far as he
knew only two chains were
involved in this discount and
they have
en-
he
the
discontinue the practice.
They were in the process of
advising their suppliers that
the discount has been
eliminated.
Peter Lindley, president of
the Ontario Fruit and
Vegetable
Association
statement that Loblaws have
been deducting two percent
from the cheques it issues to
pay growers, shippers, and
packer-shippers for Ontario
produce. No explanation was
given on the cheque for the
deduction. Mr. Lindley said
some produce suppliers have
paid these discounts but.
some have not.
He said if all chains went
this route and charged two
percent on all Ontario-grown
fresh fruit and vegetable
purchases, it would add an
extra $2 or $3 million to the
produce portion of our
consumers’ food bill, each
year in Ontario.
Loblaws has been
demanding the discount for
about a year and Dominion
started it recently. Mr.
Lindley said although this
practice is not illegal, it is
unethical. He said they can
see no legitimate cost to
warrant these deductions.
Robert Nixon, Liberal
member for Brant-Oxford-
Norfolk, asked that
Attorney General, Roy
McMurtry look into
matter to see if any
provincial laws have been
broken or what action can be
taken to see that the
producers who have lost out
on this two percent for at
least a year, have some
procedure whereby they can
recoup this payment.
Mr. McMurtry assured
him that he would respond to
the legal issues raised.
In an attempt to control
the rowdyism and
drunkenness which has
traditionally marred holiday
weekends, a temporary
alcohol ban has been im
posed in io Southern
Ontario Provincial Parks: a
partial ban has been im
posed in one other park. The
ban will be lifted on June 19,
but for the remainder of the
season open containers of
alcohol will be permitted
only at campsites at all 128
provincial parks.

"3regulations to be applied on a
trial basis this year, park
officers have the power to
remove violators and cancel
their permits. Anyone
caught breaking the rules
will not be allowed to return
to the park within 72 hours of
the offence without the
permission of the park
superintendent.
The total ban applies to
Arrowhead, Balsam Lake,
Bon Echo, Earl Rowe,
Fitzroy, Killbear, Outlet

Algonguin Park, alcohol will
be permitted only in the

Under a proposed system
for streamlining provincial
law, an accused traffic of
fender could offer an ex
planation in his defence by
letter rather than court
appearance. The Provincial
Offences Act and Provincial
Courts Amendment Act
would give a person who
receives a ticket, for
example, four choices.
He could pay the fine out of
court, drop in at the Court at
his convenience before the
trial date to plead guilty
before a justice of the peace,
offering an explanation to
reduce his sentence, plead
not guilty by mail, or request
a trial by checking a box on
the ticket and returning it .in
a reasonable amount of time,
probably a few weeks.
Apparently, these new
procedures would save
millions of dollars, because
those who do not request a
trial may be convicted
without one. This would
mean that policemen do not
have to appear in court to
obtain a conviction, the court
process will be shortened
and the huge backlog of
cases will slowly be
finalized. The changes would
apply to all provincial of
fences — most of them under
the Highway Traffic Act.
