The bili providing for the
payment of grants to first time
home buyers in Ontario received
third reading in the Legislature
this week. Any individual who
purchases or' builds a housing
unit, which includes a mobile
home that meets prescribed
standards defined by the
Canadian Standards Association,
in Ontario during the period from
April 8, 1975 to December 31, 1975
inclusive, is eligible to apply for a
grant providing that the housing
unit is his principal residence.
As soon as the housing unit in
Ontario is purchased or built, an
individual may apply to the
Minister of Revenue for the
payment of a $1,000 grant. In
each of the two subsequent years
the individual upon the an-
niversary of the date of
possession, may apply for sup-
plementary grants of $250.00 in
each year.
These supplementary grants
are conditional upon the in-
dividual continuing to inhabit the
original housing unit as his
principal residence.
A grant will be paid to a person
who purchases either a new or
used housing unit for the first
time. Residents living outside of
Ontario will not be eligible for the
grant if they owned their own
homes before moving to Ontario.
To qualify for the grant the
applicant must be 18 years of age
or over and it must be the first
housing unit owned by the ap-
plicant. Title in or possession of
the housing unit must be taken by
the applicant during the period of
eligibility from April 8. 1975 to
December 31. 1975 inclusive.
The purchase price must be
equal to the fair market value
and the applicant or any person
who holds title with him are
eligible for only one grant in
respect of any housing unit.
Application forms may be
requested from the Ministry of
Revenue by calling Zenith 8-2000.
The Government has proposed
changes in the liquor regulations
Grants for homes
for Ontario which would require
all bars, taverns and licensed
clubs to offer their patrons a
choice of at least milk, coffee and
soft drinks as well as alcoholic
beverages. The introduction of
licenses for recreation clubs and
new cabaret licenses is also
proposed.
Clubs whose prime function is
live entertainment rather than
the provision of food, would be
permitted to sell less food than is
required at present under the law
if the proposal for a cabaret
license is put into effect.
Another new license is a patio
license which' would cover the
provision of alcoholic beverages
at an • outdoor site adjoining
existing, already licensed indoor
premises.
For the first time applicants for
liquor licenses in Ontario will be
entitled to public hearings under
the new regulations and will also
be able to appeal decisions of the
Liquor License Board of Ontario
to a higher tribunal to be
established by the Government.
Two permanent advisory
committees are also to be
established, one to deal
specifically with problems
related to special occasion
permits and another to deal with
overall liquor policy.
This week in the Legislature
the Minister of Transportation
and Communications announced
a $436.4 million dollar program,
which includes work on 849 miles
of the Province's highways. Some
$261.7 million dollars will be
spent on highway construction in
the current year. Funds have
been made available for the
resurfacing of Highway 83 from
Russeldale westerly to Highway
21 at Brewster.
The major work in southern
Ontario involves development of
the freeway systems. Con-
struction is continuing on High-
way 401 east and west of Metro
Toronto, Q.E.W. in the Hamilton
and Niagara Falls areas, High-
way 402 east of Sarnia and High-
way 417 in the Ottawa area. Work
will start on Highway 404 in
Metro Toronto and Highway 403
west of Brantford.
Included in this year's program
are projects on the St. Thomas
Expressway in St. Thomas and
the E. C. Rowe Expressway in
Windsor and continued work on
the Hanlon Expressway in
Guelph. The costs of these major
projects are shared by the
Province of Ontario and the
concerned municipality.
The financial critic of the
Liberal Party, James Breithaupt
of Kitchener, led off the budget
debate and strongly criticized the
Provincial Treasurer for the
budget which was brought down
on April 7. He pointed out that in
this budget the Davis Govern-
ment has, for the fourth con-
secutive year, underestimated its
spending requirements.
Last year's predicted spending
increase was 14.2 percent and by
the year's end this had jumped to
20.8 percent. The record in the
area of deficit financing is
equally bad and by March 31, 1974
the Davis government had added
more than $3 billion dollars to the
Province's debt. The Province's
accumulated net debt had more
than doubled in four years from
1.4 billion dollars to $2.9 billion
dollars he continued. This year
the budget will go into debt by a
further $1.6 billion dollars at
least, according to the Treasurer.
The Treasurer has indicated
that this budget is based on three
assumptions; early economic
recovery in the United States,
agreement within Canada to hold
the price of gas and oil at current
levels and the pursuit of ex-
pansionary policies by the
Federal Government. All very
sweeping assumptions based on
situations which are, to a greater
or less extent, beyond the
Provincial Government's con-
trol.

took place after the an-
nouncement of the budget, the
Premier stated that Ontario was
not in agreement 'with an in-
crease in the price of oil, but it
seems impossible that this can be
avoided in view of the opinions
expressed by other provincial
premiers and world-wide
developments in the energy field.
Early economic recovery in the
United States is considered
unlikely by many expert ob-
servers.
In a speech to the Brampton
Rotary Club last week, Ontario's
Labour Minister said "Society is
not completely sold on the con-
cept of equal pay for equal
woi k", and indicated that in his
opinion, "Ihe legislation now in
effect does as much as society is
prepared to accept" As the
Minister responsible for em-
ployment standards in the
Province, which specifically
includes ensuring that working
women of Ontario have the same
pay, the same status and the
same opportunities as the
working men of Ontario, his
attitude came as a surprise to
many people.
There are now some 1.2 million
women in the labour force in
Ontario, 61 percent married and
33 percent with children. Many
women are virtually the head of
the family, raising children on
their own and in these days of
increasing inflation, two incomes
are not a luxury but a necessity.
The Minister of Labour was
questioned in the House about the
statement which he had made
and in an attempt to explain what
he meant by saying society was
not completely sold on the con-
cept of eqtlal pay for equal work,
he turned to the Bible."Maybe it's
time" Mr. MacBeth told the
Legislature, "that I turned to the
Bible, the New Testament,
think. You remember the parable
about the workers going into the
field? Well, there were different
rates of pay ...". The Labour
Minister was interrupted by cries
of disbelief from Opposition
Members.
