On March 8, Liberal Leader
David Peterson issued the
following press statement.
"Today is International
Women's Day, and it should
be a day of celebration for all
women...but is it? -
"While women can rejoice
in the fact that many of them
have achieved a measure of
success and fulfilment which
might a generation ago have
been an impossible dream,
many others are still struggl-
ing against unfairness and
injustice.

Issues statement on
abuse, continues to be a tragic
everyday occurrence.
"The inadequacies of our
pension system condemn
thousands of elderly women
to living below the poverty
line.
"Equal opportunity for
women is certainly far from
being a reality, with some
two-thirds of all women in the
paid labour force confined to
clerical, sales and service
jobs.
"As for equal pay, here in
Canada, in 1979 women work-
ing fulltime earned approx-
imately, on average, 63.3 per-
cent of the money earned by
men - an average of $11,741
compared with a man's
average of $18,537. Even in
occupations where the ma-
jority of workers were
women, men earned con-
siderably higher pay.
"As Leader of the Ontario
Liberal Party, I have
established the Women' -s
Perspective Advisory Com-
mittee, to advise on matters
of concern to women. The
Committee is in the process of
preparing recommendations
on pensions, domestic abuse
andpornographyat this time,
and will consider the women's
perspective of many other
issues which affect our
society.
"In addition, the Commit-
tee is sponsoring an all -day
Conference, "Women's
Perspective '83", to be held on
Saturday, the 14th May, at the
Royal York Hotel in Toronto.
The theme of the Conference
will be "Look at the Past -
Plan for the Future". There
will be workshops on a
number of issues of vital im-
portance for women. Guest
speakers will be Linda Silver
Dranoff, lawyer, writer and
activist, and Monica Town-
send, author of "The Cana-
dian Women's Guide to
Money".
Coloured fuel program
The Ministry of Revenue
has recognized that there
were problems with their col-
oured diesel and stove oil pro-
gram. Effective 12:01 March
10, 1983, the Ontario Ministry
of Revenue has changed the
dye to a type known as D390
from FOM50.
My colleagues and I have
been asking questions in the
Legislature drawing the
Minister's attention to pro-
blems during his estimates
and submitting questions on.
the order paper ever since
this program was introduced
on Septembe- 1, 1982.
Farmers, contractors, users
of kerosene heaters, and
tobacco producers concerned
about curing their product
have been submitting com-
plaints to us. The complaints
have ranged from clogged
filters on equipment,
breakdown of fuel pumps and
fuel injectors on equipment to
complete engine failure to
concerns expressed about the
safety to people using
kerosene heaters; the possible
contamination of tobacco with
untested chemicals and to the
safety of persons working
with and applying the dye to
the fuel.
Technical bulletins from
the Ministry of Revenue have
indicated that there were er-
rors and omissions commit-
ted by some of the people who
applied dye to fuel in
distributor stocks and that
there were problems of tar -
like precipitates forming on
the walls of the mixing tanks
at the refineries. These
precipitates would break
away and clog filters and in-
jectors atlthe refineries dur-
ing the process of injecting
the (lye into the product
stream.
If there were problems at
the refineries is it any wonder

that users attributed their
clogged filters and equipment
failures to the use of the dye.
So far investigations by
laboratories hired by the
Ministry have blamed dirt
and high moisture content in
the fuel as the only identified
source of the problem.
The change to a new type of
dye clearly indicates that the
Ministry introduced the
original dye without proper
investigation and testing.
Call for reduction in govern-
ment interest rates for Tile
drainage loans
In view of the fact that in-
terest rates charged to On-
tario farmers by the Govern-
ment under their Tile
Drainage Loan Program
were raised from eight per-
•
��r
ac e joIli n96
status of women
cent to 10 percent last year
when prime Interest rates
reached a peak, we are today
calling on the Government to
reduce the rates to their
former eight percent in
recognition of the generally
present lower cost of borrow-
ing to the Government.
For years now, we in the
Liberal Party have pointed
out to the Government the
benefits of this program and
our concerns that the Govern-
ment's investment is still
about 40 percent less than the
demand.
Moreover, much of the
benefit of increased funds
allocated to the program last
year were negated by the in-
crease in the debenture loans
and by the fact that only 60
percent of a drainage project
would be covered, down from
the previous 75 percent level.
It is well recognized that
tile drainage is essential to
the improvement of Ontario's
foodland. It can increase pro-
duction yields up to 50 percent
and return 818 for every $1
invested.
We, in the Ontario Liberal
Party, believe that- the
Government should im-
mediately announce its
allocation plans for this pro-
gram for the 1983-84 season
and that this announcement
should provide up to 850
million per year for loans at
eight percent interest and
that they should cover 75
percent of the cost of the
drainage work.
