SEE THEM TODAY AT annum TIRE Erinno An TIRE By JACK RIDDELL M.P.P. _ The fifth session of the 29th Parliament began on Tuesday with the usual formalities. The Lieutenant Governor, Pauline McGibbon and her husband Donald. rode in a horse drawn open Landau, from the Royal York Hotel to Queen's Park. The procession made its way up University Avenue to Queen's Park and after arriving in front of the steps of the Parliament Building to a trumpet fanfare, Mrs. McGibbon reviewed a Guard of. Honour. The Lietenant Governor was later escorted by the Premier to the Speaker's Chair, where she read the Speech from the Throne. Most of the speech read by the Lieutenant Governor dealt with the tough economic times the government expects in the near future. Other than the appointment of an Ombudsman, there were few details of the government's plans for the session which is expected - to be- the last before an election. The highlights from the Speech from the Throne, that opened the new Session of the Legislature ' are as follows: A provincail ombudsman will be appointed to ensure the protection of ntario citizens against arbitrar judgment or practices. ) Law enforcement agencies and the public will be asked to ensure that, our cities and streets will remain among the safest and most secure in North America. The people of the province are asked to exercise moderation and restraint in wage demands 5nd the pricing of goods. Benefits and services to the elderly will be extended and appropriate steps taken to compensate social benefits recipients who have been hurt by inflation. Homeownership will be en- couraged so that Ontario families may continue to be• the best housed in Canada. Policies will be aimed at giving greater opportunity to women in the Civil Service and eliminating discrimination in jobs both in the Government and private in- dustry. Measures will be introduced to provide Ontario farmers with reasonable assurance of the profitable continuingoperation of their vital enterprise. The size of the Civil Service will remain frozen at its 1974 level, as one of the number of measures which are designed to set a inWiHiams Parliament session underway leading example of prudence and economy in the management of Government costs. - A provincial budget will be brought down April 7. After the official opening the Lieutenant Governor and her husband and Premier William Davis and his wife received about 800 guests in Mrs. McGibbon's suite on the second floor of the Legislature buildings. Allan Grossman, provincial secretary for Resources Development, announced the government's decision to establish an independent Com- mission of enquiry into the long range planning of Ontario's power needs. The Commission which anticipates two years of public hearings across the Province will emphasize public participation in planning the expansion of Ontario Hydro for 1983 to 1993. For the first time the Ontario government will provide money for public participants at the hearing. Mr. Grossman said Ontario llydro's expansion plans up to 1983 have already been largely approved and these electrical generating and tran- smission projects will go ahead. These projects include a generating station on the' north channel of Georgian Bay, extra ' high voltage supply lines to Kitchener, London and the Ottawa -Cornwall area, and a second extra high voltage - transmission line out of the Bruce generating station. By 1983 if Hydro's plans go ahead as proposed the assets of the Crown Corporation would increase from their value in 1972 of about 5.5 billion to more than $30 billion. Consequently the Ontario Government has decided that a potential puyi c investment of this mag{iii't5de and importance alone warrants wide spread public involvement in directing its future growth. It is possible that these open discussions can take as long as two years to complete. The hearings will consider all aspects of Ontario's power needs including the impact of urban planning. agricultural land. the industrial sector and consumer prices. The provincial auditor's report released in the Legislature this week, criticized the advertising practices of the Ontario govern- ment. The government bought °snore than $3.2 million worth of advertising without competition or formal contract in 1973-74. Four ministries were singled out for' mention in the report, with Industry and Tourism being the biggest advertising spender paying Camp . Assopciates Advertising Limited $1,835,584 between March and December 1973 without a formal contract. A year ago the auditor noted ('amp Associates had been paid $1.2 million by the Ministry over seven months in 1972 without written agreement. Jobs given to Camp Associates without con- tract by the Government had become political issues in the past because the firm headed by Norman Atkins, is a close adviser to Premier William Davis, and prominent Conservative Dalton Camp,- who heads the Com- mission, studying the Legislature, still has an interest in the firm. The auditor in his latest report comments on advertising and film promotion work valued at mare than $800,000 for the Ministry of 'Transportation and Communication, $250,000 for the Ministry of Labour and$298,000 for thleXivil Service Commission. A number of bills were in- troduced into the Legislature this week, one of which was moved by the Honourable Mr. White former Treasurer and now Minister Without Portfolio, entitled An Act to Regulate Political Party Financing, and Election Con- tributions and Expenses. In giving the first reading of this bill, Mr. White announced that arrangements are being made with the co-operation of the Minister of Finance for Canada and the Minister of Revenue to introduce into the personal in- come tax system, an Ontario Political - Party Contribution credit. This credit will be a deduction from Ontario tax, otherwise payable with respect to bona fide contributions to Ontario political parties. To effect the political party contribution credit amendments will be required to the Ontario Personal Income Tax Act. As recommended by the Com- mission, corporations will be permitted to deduct contributions to political parties, constituency associations and candidates registered under the proposed Act to regulate political party financing and election con- tributions and expenses up to an aggregate of $4,000. This recommendation will 10 P Plar I1 ..141 READY FOR BED — Models ready for bed were on the program at Wednesday's fashion show at the Kirkton-Woodham Community Cen- tre.

NOG 2W0 require amendment to the Ontario Corporations Tax Act. It should be noted that an individual may earn the maximum credit against personal income tax of $500 at a level of contributions of $1150.00 and that a corporation taking full advantage of its allotment may earn the reduction of its Ontario Corporation Tax by a maximum of $480.00. Community and Social Ser- vices Minister, Rene Brunelle, introduced an amendment to the Child Welfare Act. The purpose of this amendment is to enable the Province to assunie a larger share'of the costs of services of the Children's Aid Sociaties, with a corresponding reduction in the financial burden on municipalities. This bill will also enable the Province to revise and improve procedures for the submission of Society budgets to municipalities in the province and will also implement a number of other changes to improve child welfare services. The rest of the week in the Legislature was spent by the members in consideration of the Speech of the Honourable Lieutenant Governor at- the - opening of the session. The Throne Speech debate will continue until the budget is brought down on April 7. A word of warning to the old age pensioners in Ontario. Pensioners must apply by March 31, if they are to get their guaranteed income supplement. The guaranteed income program requires recipients to re -apply each year and those persons who have not yet filled out their ap- plications should do so as quickly as possible.
