The tripartitite stabilization programs are income assurance pro- grams which provide payments to producers when market prices are low. They are funded equally by the federal government, participat- ing provincial governments and participating producers. Producer participation is voluntary. This agreement represents a truly co-operative effort. The amend- ments will go a long way to create a level paying field for red meat producers across Canada, particularly since there will be a firm ceil- ing on the benefits which producers can offer their producers. I anticipate that all provinces will be signing some or all of the agreements over the next few days. I was pleased to be the first min- ister to sign. Federal and provincial governments as well as national and provin- cial producer associations have been working on amendments to the plan for the past year. The new set of rules was developed following federal and provincial ministers' recommendations made at a confer- , ence in July, 1988. Government acts to ensure child care standards Minister of Community and Social Services John Sweeney has re- cently announced two measures to address issues concerning the quality of child care in Ontario. Introduction of a parent information poster as part of the mini- stry's parent information initiative, and an assessment of the way in which licensing requirements are currently enforced, the government . has delivered on commitments outlined in its "New Directions for Child Care", announced in 1987. A poster, "Information for Parents", has been designed to provide parents with the added information they need to play a stronger role in their child's early development. • . Beginning March 1st display of the posters in child care centres will be mandatory as part of the annual licensing inspection require- ments. The poster shows five basic categories of information: Staffing, Program, Discipline,. Health and Safety, and the status of the licence in each of those areas. It indicates whether each centre measures up to required standards, and, if not, what action the operator must take to bring the centre up to regulation standard and by what date this must be done. Review of Child Care Enforcement' Practices To begin immediately, a review of Child Care Enforcement Prac- tices will examine how the provisions of child care legislation are being enforced. It will investigate the degree of province -wide com- pliance with the legislation and will examine enforcement practices to determine their consistency and effectiveness. The review, expected to take approximately six months, will rec- ommend interim strategies to help operational staff ensure compli- ance with child care legislationand identify issues that can be ad- dressed only by new legislation. In order to develop a new Child Care Act as outlined in "New Di- rections for Child Care", a more thorough study of existing legisla- tion will begin in the Spring. Grants to Riding Minister of Natural Resources has announced a total of $46.2 mil- lion for the 38 Conservation authorities in Ontario, an increase of $820,000 in operating allocations and $3 million in capital alloca- tions over last year. In the southwestern region, the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority has received $1,049,689, and the Maitland Valley Conservations Authority $1,153,393. Minister of Culture and Communications Lily Munro has an- nounced a Designated property Grant of $13,337.00 to the town of Seaforth. The grant'will be applied to heritage conservation meas- ures for six different properties within the town.
