REPORT FROM
QUEEN'S PARK
MURRAY GAUNT, MPP
(Huron.Bruce)
February 7, 1969
The Legislature reconvened
this week with ilhe Main focus
being on the federal-provincial
conference next week.
On the matter of the Clonstitu-
tionu.1 Reform, Ontario has Pro-
posed that the provinces should be
less dependent on Ottawa but the
central government should re-
tain primacy throughout the
country.
The proposals, 40 in all, reveal
Ontario's Nvillingyiess to consider
a wide range of matters, inelnd-
ing re-drawing of provincial
boundaries, ;tholition cd, Llte Sen-
ate, and enough leeway for pro-
vinces to have varying relation-
ships with Ottawa, and different
forms of parliameata,ry : democ-
racy within the legislatures,
Premier John Robarts will lead
a 15 Mon Ontario delegatietl. -
including five cabinet members, to
Ottawa next week for bhe Confer-
ence.
Opposition Leader, .Robert Nixon,
and Yew Democratic. Leader, Don-
ald MacDonald, wilt attend the
conference as observers.
Reform of the total system of
government in Ontario was urged,
this week by .the Onto HQ NCOnaMie
(1011ncil.
While fully endorsing the con-
cept of regional government, the
Council said that most supporters
of regional government seem ;prim-
arily.interested in reorganizing
boundarieS and creating larger
units of government.
Out' of the key factors, the
Council warned, is the problem Or
financing of municipal services.
There is almost • unanimous
agreement that the tax base of
municipalities is inadequate yet
proposals put forward for the re-
form of the system largely ignore
this 1m sic faCt..
In view of the great concern ex-
pressed by people in general and
municipalities in particular about
the withdrawal of the ARDA grant
en nmnicipal drains, unless the
contract has been let prior to Dec-
ember 31st, 1068, 1 have had many
discussions with the Department
of Agriculture and Food alm, this
matter. I asked the Minister in
the Legislature if the Department
would reconsider and the Minister
indicated that the matter is still
under omisideration and the Feder-
al Government, is also being asked-
to reconsider.

4H LEADERS DISAGREE
ON FALL FAIR QUESTION
Will small fall fairs be a thing
of the past?
That question drew both
''yes" and "no" answers at the
meeting of Huron County .4-H
agricultural leaders held in
Clintoc.
Richard Etherington of
who said agrie anal societies
"smack of the •aorse and bugg,
days" said small fairs are "milk-
ing the community dry to stay
alive," lie agreed with the leaders
who advocate replacing the sma`t-
ler fairs with a single county
fair,
Disagreeing with the suggestion,
Ceerge Kennedy of Larcknow, ai
director or the club leaders group,
said no attempt should be Math)
to. snuff' opt the county's little
fall fairs. The a:utility of these
fairs cannot be judged by their
size, be asSetted.
The leader disagreed wills sec.
