BY HURRAY GAUNT
After five Years and $5
millien spent looking at Ont-
ario Hydro's . long-range
planning, Arthur Porter con-
cluded this week, that "all
viable energy options" must
be kept open, and it would be
"merely guesswork" to pre-
diet an average growth in the
demand for electricity.
Dr. Porter, the chairman of
the Royal Commission, on.
Electric Power Planning,
made the remarks at a press
conference as he released a
225 page report containing
88 recommendations, few of
which are likely either to
trouble Hydro or pacify its
critics.
Although 28 of its recom-
mendations dealt with the
controversial nuclear power
issue, the royal commission
did not move significantly
beyond a conclusion it reach-
ed, in 1978 that nuclear power
"has a role to play in this
expansion program."
The report wound up pre-
dicting the demand for elec-
tricity will grow by 2.5 to 4
per cent yearly to the year
2060 - about the rate current-
ly predicted by Hydro itself.
The Ontario Government
is ready to assist in federal
programs to reduce mort-
gage interest rates, par-
ticularly if they are aimed at
new home owners facing
large increases in montly
payments, Premier William
Davis said this week,
it He said 12,000, mortgages
come due in the province
every month. As well,, far-
' mers now face the need to
borrow for spring planting.
No provincial action is
likely until after the. federal
Parliament resumes on April
14.
Ontario has an ambitious
$3 billion plan to generate
energy from waste - if the
private sector will kick in
with its share of the financ-
ing.
n fi unveiling a fifteen-year
waste energy plan, Energy
Minister Robert Welch es-
timated a saving of 27 million
barrels of oil annually by
1995 through conversion of
industrial; municipal and for-
esrwastes 'to usable energy.
But he committed only $2
million of government money
to the first year of the
Lscheme.
"I expect a large percen-
tage of this investment will
come from the private sector
with the balance coming
from the government, mun-
icipalities, the Ontario Ener-
gy Corporation and Ontario
Hydro," he said in a state-
ment. ,
The government hopes to
encourage companies to in-
vest in waste energy plants
or smaller projects within
existing companies by offer-
ing some of its own money
for the projects.
To attract that investment,
an assessment, team will
examine proposals and de
cide if they are worthy of
government support, accord-
ing to Mr. Welch.
If successful, the program
would fulfil a ministry objec-
tive of producing 3.2 per cent
of Ontario's energy from
waste by 1995.
Opposition Leader Stuart
Smith issued a call to bring
down the provincial govern-
ment.
Smith's ninety-minute
reply to the Throne Speech
ended with a motion of
non-confidence that 'would `
force an election if passed by
the House on April 14.
Smith accused the Davis
government of allowing Ont-
ario to fall from its position of
industrial leadership. "In-
deed, we in Ontario actually
dragged Canada down dur-
ing the 1979'S because we
were the manufacturing
heartland and we failed to
deliver," he said.
He attacked the govern-
ment's policy of encouraging
foreign firms to locate branch
Plants in Ontario, saying we
get the, worst-paying jobs
and no.exports in such deals.
Further, Dr. Smith pointed
out that "in the last several
years, there has been a very
serious erosion of the health
care system...you have
money for Abitibi Paper, but
you don't have money to

make sure there are nurses
on the ward;"
Dr. Smith stated that if, the
federal government declines
to aid homeowners who are
rolling over mortgages at
increases of four and five
points, Ontario should act
alone "to help our citizens
maintain the stake in the
community that they have
managed to just get hold of."
Minister of Agriculture
Lorne Henderson introduced
a bill this week to provide'
financial protection for live-
stock- producers.
"In recent years," said
Mr. Henderson; "livestock
producers and dealers have
lost something over half a
million dollars as a result of
buyer bankrupticies. A num-
ber of individuals suffered
large financial losses, and
long-term hardship as a res-
ult."
The bill will allow initially
for a plane to cover beef.
cattle. Dealers will be re-
quired to make prompt pay-
ment, and licensing authority
will be provider for in the
Act itself, rather than in the
Regulations.
If the fund goes into a
deficit position, the govern,-
ment will guarantee bank
loans of up to one million
dollars and will pay I the
interest on them.
This program will be ad-
ministered by a board which
will include representatives
of producers, dealers and
government. '
