Proposed changes in the liquor regulations would require all bars, taverns and licenced clubs to offer their patrons a choice of at least milk, coffee, and soft drinks. Other changes in the regulations will include the introduction of licences for recreation clubs and a new cabaret licence. The cabaret licence would allow clubs, whose prime function is live entertainment rather than food, to sell less food than is required at present by law. Another new licence would be the patio licence which would licence an outdoor site adjoining existing licenced indoor premises. More important, applicants for liquor licences in Ontario will be entitled to public hearings and for the first time, to appeal decisions of the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario to "a higher tribunal. Besides the new tribunal, the Government will also establish two permanent advisory committees, one to deal specifically with problems related to special occasion permits and another to deal with "over all liquor policy". Ontario will spend $261.7 million on highway construction in the current fiscal year, John Rh odes, Minister of Transportation and Communications told the Legislature this week. The Expenditure is part of a $436.4 million programme' unveiled by Mr. Rhodes including work on 849 miles of the Province's Highways. James 13reithaupt (L-Kitchener) the financial critic for the Liberal Party gave his budget reply this week in the Legislature. Mr. Breithaupt criticized the Treasurer for always' over-estimating revenues and' always underestimating expenditures. In the 1975 Budget Mr. Breithaupt said that the Davis Government in 1974 underestimated its spending requirem ents for the fourth consecutive year. Last year's predicted,spen.ding increase was 14.2%. In actual fact this had jumped to 20.8% by the year's end. The Liberal critic went on to say that . the Government's performance in the area of deficit , financing was equally bad. "By March 31st, 1974 the Davis Government had added more than $3 billion to the `Province's • debt. The Province's accumulated' net debt had more than doubled in four years from $1.4 billion to $2.9 billion, he continued. The Province this year has estimated it will go into debt by a further $1.6 billion.
