THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, ,LUCKNOW, ONTARIO
(N.
RIPLEY DISTRICT SCHOOL
REPORT FROM
QUEEN'S PARK
BY MURRAY GAUNT
M.P.P. HURON-BRUCE
Opposition Party Financial Crit-
ics responded to the. Provincial
Budget this week. Both parties
were highly critical of the Govern-
ment's lack of effective initiatives
to generate employment in the
Province.
Liberal David Peterson expres-
sed concern that 'the Government
'had, to a great extent, spent itself
into such a corner that it now has
no room to manoeuvre, particularly
with respect to stimulating an
increase in job opportunities to
reduce the present very high rate of
unemployment.'
He stressed the need to give
greater assistance to the small
business sector which employs
60% of the labour force, is
labour-intensive, and can create
new jobs much more quickly and
cheaply than large capital-intensive
industries. Small business is flex-
ible, able to adapt quickly to
changes in the market, and
possesses great potential for tech-
nological and other innovation.
The Government's job creation
program leaves much to be
desired. At a time when unemploy-
ment in the construction industry is
running at 19.2% (as of January
this year), the 3,356 jobs to be
created in the construction sector,
at a cost of $22,500 each,
represents but a drop in the bucket.
This Province is suffering from
the highest unemployment in
decades - 312,000 people unem-
ployed in March (a real rate of
7.9%). We are suffering from
continuing high inflation, under-
utilization of our manufacturing
industries, stagnation in our min-
ing industry and widespread lack of
confidence among consumers and
businessmen alike.
Mr. Peterson felt that the single
most serious defect in the budget is
failure to come to grips with the
energy situation in this province.
Ontario has the highest per capita
consumption of energy in the
world, and we must analyze
consumption in all sectors, taking
effective measures to curb our
annual ‘-growth in demand which
has, historically, been approxim-
ately 5% annually.
Personal Income Tax Revenue is
$172 million below budget, due to
unemployment and under-employ-
ment; Retail Sales Tax Revenues
are $107 million below budget
because of lack of consumer
confidence. The crisis in our mines
has yielded only 42% of the Mining
Profit Tax budget. Weak markets,
high costs and general uncertainty,
which have plagued businessmen,
have resulted in a shortfall of $95
million in Corporate Income Tax
Revenue.
The budgetary deficit is over
budget, by $302 million; net cash
requirements, by $158 million; net
debt, by $212 million; net non-pub-
lic borrowing, by $72 million.
It has been obvious for the pas'.
two weeks that Premier Davis had
made up his mind to have a spring
election. This week in the
Legislature a 'section of the Rent
Review Bill was defeated, and the
Government has indicated that this
is considered as a matter of
confidence and an election will
therefore be called. The most
likely date is June 9.
The change in the bill was
proposed by the Liberals and
supported by the N.D.P. The
change' will mean that the rent
'ceiling will remain at 8% until
August 1st. The rate would then be
tied to the guidelines.
