HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1973-06-27, Page 5Report from Queens Park By Murray Gaunt,, M.P.P. There have been a number of people who have indicated to me their very serious reser- vation about Ontario Hydro's take-over of Inverhuron Pro- vincial park. Accordingly I asked the Premier on June 21 as follows gimr, Speaker I have a question of the Premier. In view of the expressed concer n. of the Al- gonquin Wildlife League, mem- bers of the general public, and Members of this House with respect to Ontario Hydro's take over of Inverhuron Provincial park, would the Premier ask Ontario Hydro as a first step in the in depth re-examination of this particular proposal to hold a hearing of necessity on the park." Mr. Davis replied in part as follows: "Mr. Speaker, I think to say to hOld a hearing of necessity would imply, and I don't want to mislead your Constituents or anyone else, to having a hear- ing of necessity would .imply I think a legal status to such a hearing that the people involved might feel there is some legal remedy flowing from it and I think this would be improper. If the Honourable Member is saying to one, would I suggest to Hydro that they have meet- ings with, or consultations or 'discussions with the area, the people in the area that will be affected to explain what they have in mind and to have some very sincere dialogue with them Mr. Speaker, I think I could be prepared to do that. I haven't given it any thought, but I think it sounds reasonable and I think I would be prepared to suggest this to Hydro. " I suggested to the Premier that Ontario Hydro should pro- vide a rationale as to why they need this particular park. I thought I would include this particular exchange because of the interest andconcern expres- sed in this regarid. The Select Committee on Utilization of Education Facili- ties, of which I am a, member, submitted its interim report to Legislature this week and proposed wide ranging reforms to break down the barriers it has found between schools and the communities• they are sup- posed to serve. The Committee recommended that the responsibility for the use of schools be taken away from School Boards and handed over to Local Community Action Councils. The Committee's central conclusion is that access to Ontario's schools should be the right' of every citizen, not just a privilege conferred at the will of a School Board. The planning and Develop- ment ,Act was taken to Com- mittee 'this week and the Treasurer took a battering over his proposals. J.A.Kennedy, former Chair- man of the Ontario Municipal Board, said the proposed legis- lation is an unwarranted invasion of local autonomy on planning matters and that the plan ap- proval system envisaged is a dangerous departure from accepted practice in that it gives the Minister arbitrary power. The bill would allow the Minister to designate any area of the province as a development area. News of Ethel Correspondent Mrs. Chester Earl The Ethel.
