ROYAL BANK I><y Jatdc Riddell MPP A one-year restraint pro- gram has been introduced by the provincial government, which imposes 5 percent wage controls on 500,000 public employees and regulates prices and fees set by provincial agencies. This program would extend expir- ing collective agreements by one year, and would limit the wage increase to 5 percent, or roll back increases in the se- cond year of existing con- tracts. It would also ban strikes by public and "para - public workers for the duration. ' Provincially regulated prices are to be reviewed by a Cabinet Committee on Ad- ministered Prices, which would have the power to reduce or delay them. The Provincial Treasurer, Frank Miller, told the Legislature that the program is not an attack on the public sector, but is an attempt to avoid cutbacks and layoffs in this sector while lightening the burdertof government on the economy. In addition, an Inflation Restraint Board is to be established to administer the wage restraint and ad- ministered prices program and to monitor wage and price increases in the public sector. Covered by the restraint program are provincial, municipal, agency, board, commission, university and school board workers; Brewers Retail prices for\ beer; hospital and nursing home workers, including physicians -on salary at hospitals, ambulance service drivers, group home workers; Crown'Corporation employees; tuition fees; TTC workers, elected officials and judges; employees of charitable organizations funded by the province such as the Children's Aid Society. Also to be controlled are hydro and natural gas rates; Blue Cross and Green Shield insurance premiums, GO Transit and inter -city bus fares; government licence fees, Ontario Place admission. Not controlled by the restraint program are doctors who provide service -for -fee, workers earning less than $15,000 a year in otherwise • By AUCE DICKENS Five tables of euchre were at play at The Happy Gang Seniors Wednesday afternoon in the town hall.

He has urged the government to put savings from the restraint program into job creation. "We will be pushing hard for the second stage", he said. "We need an ambitious economic recovery program now. Otherwise, this 5 percent program will become merely a gimmick to deflect the heat of economic mismanagement and profligate waste. In awide-ranging speech on the economy, Mr. Peterson outlined Liberal proposals for economic recovery, stressing that people expect "real and Iastina solutions, not gimmicks". Premier's jet The Premier's controver- sial purchase of a $10.6 million executive jet has been cancelled, and the govern- ment is acquiring instead two forest fire fighting water bombers from the same Mon- treal manufacturer. James Bradley, Liberal MPP for St. Catharines, a long-time critic of the jet purchase, was told by the Premier that the cost of the water bombers was comparable to the cost of the jet. Mr. Bradley said he WAY would now direct his criticism to government advertising, Minaki Lodge and Suncor - other examples of govern- ment overspending. Es -candidate judgeship.

However, the Government has refused to consider a Liberal suggestion that an independent inquiry should be held to examine the possibility that the Criminal Code articles prohibiting in- fluence peddling had been broken in this case.
