Report from Queen's Park Pension- debt over $1 billion By Murray Gaunt The Ontario Government's $1 billion 'debt to the teachers' pension funds has grown by an extra $243 million this year, according to Education Minister Tom Wells. Higher teachers' salaries and inflation have caused the extra debt, according to Mr. Wells. The debt to the Teachers' Superannuation Fund is now $1.59 billion. The Government pays off the extra debt every three yers by law, but Mr. Wells would like to pay off the extra debt every year. Still with education, the Ontario Ministry of Education will spend almost $3 million this year on professional development for teachers.- Abaft 15,000 of Ontario▪ 's 96,000 elementary and high school teachers will benefit from the Ministry grants.. About $200,000 will be spent on teacher exchange programs, which the MiniStry considers as "low cost professional develop- ment" that M is of prime importance in boosting teacher morale, since mobility has all but disappeared.. M.P.P.'s were upset and offended this week when Dr. Robert Jackson, whO is a one-man Royal Commission studying declining school enrolment in Ontario, commented that women should have more babies, and that Canada's founding racial groups should, have test tube babies, if necessary, to make sure they do not disappear through . "racial suicide". ‘, Members called his ideas silly,- - senile, addlebrained, and However, Mr., Wells refused to ,fire Dr. Jackson from his $150 a day job, and that decision was confirmed by the Social Develop- ment Committee before whom Dr. Jackson appeared to explain his remarks. • The Commission's work has cost $490,000 so far. Aside from his comments about fertility and race, Dr. Jackson did identify a world-wide problem. The birth rate in every industri- alized country in the world has dropped below the replacement level. Quite simply, more people` are dying' than are being born, and populations are falling. For instance, in Britain the population is'dropping by 500 per day. BONNIE'S SALON will be closed for HOLIDAYS ,Friday June 9 Saturday June 10 and Tuesday June 13 Falling populations don't just mean fewer schools and shrinking workforces, buty they also mean a huge burden of retired people from the older, bigger population who have to be supported by a smaller working population.
