3rd session begins
promise of tax .credits to lower
high mortgage interest rates. The
suggestion. originally was made
by Premier Davis during last
Septenlber's election campaign.
Under the proposal the
government would have given a
tax credit allowance of up to $500
a year to reduce interest charges
9n 'residential mortgages
over 10% % . The Government has
apparently decided to abandon
this plan in view of the current
restraint programme, and has
, opted instead for the home
warranty plan..
There is an attempt being made
by many people in the Grey and
Bruce area to persuade the
Gbvernment of Ontario to bring
educational TV to our part of the
Province.This is certainly a very
worthwhile objective, and if you
agree -with, this. I would suggest
that you write to the Honourable
Robert Welch, Minister of
Culture and Recreation, and to
Mr. T.D.Ide, Chairman of the
Board, Ontario Educational
Communications Authority.

(By Murray Gaunt, M.P.P.)
The Third Session of the
Thirtieth Ontario Parliament
commenced this week with
something less than the usual
pomp and ceremony. Even that
has fallen under the axe of the
government's • restraint
programme.
The Throne Speech was a short
one, but it did announce the
intentions of the Government in
several areas. A voluntary farm
income stabilization programme
to supplement the 'federal plan
will be introduced by the. Minister
of Agriculture and Food. This
.
programme has been endorsed •
and promoted by the Federation
of Agriculture and is sure to be of
interest . to the farming
community.
A stricter meat inspection, •
which has been Prompted by the
Quebec meat scandals; will also
be part of the government's
legislative programme.
Another important area of
considerable interest is the fact
that after many years of
consultation the Province is now
going 'to introduce a warranty
plan on new )1 ornes to protect
buyers against. poor workman-
ship.
Other area.s mentioned in the
Throne Speech are as follows:
(1) the formation, of an all-party
Select Committee of the Legis-
lature to study highway safety,
driver education and accident
prevention.
(2) The hiring of more judges to
alleviate the backlog in the courts
and changes in estate laws to give
property rights to common law
wives as well as giving blind
persons the right to take seeing, .,
eye dogs into restaurants and
public places. • •
An interesting sidelight to this
year's Throne Speech is the fact
that the Provincial Government
has abandoned its election
