HURON-BRUCE Mr. Justice Patrick Hartt will be appointed a Royal Commissioner under a Cabinet Order-in-Council, and will conduct hearings on development in Northern Ontario.. The Bill setting up an inquiry into this matter was dropped by the Government in order to avoid almost inevitable defeat in the Legislature by the opposition parties, who had called for a ban on sport fishing in the English-Wabi- goon River Systems to be tied to the inquiry. A bill to establish the new Ministry of Northern Affairs was passed in the Ontario , Legislature this week after the Liberals voted ' with the Conservatives to defeat several amendments proposed by the New Democratic Party. Region offices will be in Kenora and Sault Ste. Marie, but the head office will be in Toronto. Former Natural Resources Minister Leo Bernier was named to the new portfolio of Minister of Northern Affairs. The proposed environmental tax on pop cans has been delayed until fall. The Minister of the Environ- ment will consult with the opposi- tion critics during the summer in an attempt to reach some compromise solution. The Liberal Party has called for a ,deposit on soft drink cans 'in order to encourage the return of these containers and thereby eliminate much of the litter problem. Other alternatives will also be considered, suclv as a combination deposit and tax, or an outright ban on pop cans. Alberta has a five-cent deposit on cans, of which two cents go to the consumer returning the empties and three cents go to the provincial govern- ment to help pay for a depot collection system. The State of Vermont has a system of deposits for cans and bottles. The Minister of Education, in response to a question by John Sweeney (Liberal. Kitchener-Wil- mot), has confirmed that the province is phasing out three regional education offices - in St. Catharines. Kitchener and King- ston. By March of 1978 the government hopes to reduce staff in its regional offices by 40. Six regional offices will remain 'open, and services provided by the three which are being closed transferred to the nearest remaining office: The Legislature has recessed for the summer, so this will be my last report until the fall. I wish everyone a good , summer. ' 20 YEARS AGO JULY 1957 The standard rate of 10 cents for each local call from public and semi public telephones became effective in Lucknow June 29th.
