AGNEW Aftimommow REPORT FROM QUEEN'S PARK BY MURRAY GAUNT M.P.P. HURON-BRUCE It was a, good week for. opposition. , A divisional court ruling said the provincial court did not have the power to authorize shutdoWns of hospitals simply through orders-in-council. , The. court decision affected, Chesley, Clinton, Durham and' Doctors' Hospital in Toronto and in the light , of this decision oppositibn parties which have vigorously opposed the closures of the hospitals called on the government to abandon the shutdown program which has caused serious disrup- tion in small rural communities, not only 'from a health-care standpoint but . also from .. an employment standpoint. s The Ontario Government intends to appeal the decision according to Acting Health Minister, Bette Stephenson. In the meantime, the four hospitals will receive provin: cial financing for up to six months 'during the appeal. process. If the appeal takes longer than expected, the hospitals will receive an additional six monthS' financing. • The government decided on the appeal route after considering several other alternatives, includ- ing introducing legislation to give the government power to close hospitals. Both the' Liberal and N.D.P. parties indicated they would' not support such legislation which would mean that the government would be defeated,, hence an election would be inevitable on the issue. Faced with this opposition, the government opted for the court appeal. Funds for tile drainage loans have been cut back, this year' by the Proviike as part of, its restraint program. Last year $16 million was available for the program but that has dropped back to $10 million. On review it was raised to $13 million. Since many 'municipalities have already approved more than their, allocations for the current year before word of , the cut back was received, . there has been considerable pressure to increase the total amount available for this prograin. I learned' this week that this matter is being reviewed again by cabinet to see if additional funds canit be found to increase the amount of money available to' the program for the current year., ZION Donna Ritchie of Red Deer, Alberta, came by plane on Friday of last week to be with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Ritchie, Elva; Brian and Mel before her summer wedding, returning hack on.
