Since the Legislature
recessed for the summer
months, the Liberal Task
Force on Rural
Municipalities, of which 1 am
a member, has been travell-
ing to different parts of the
province to meet with
municipal councils, business
people within the community,
farmers, school trustees and
anyone who wishes to make a
presentation to the Task
Force.
The Task Force was
created in recognition of the
fact that many communities
in rural Ontario are faced
with acute problems as d
result of the recent recession,
shifting demographics, a
weakening agricultural base
and limited municipal grants.
The Task Force was
established by Opposition
Leader, David Peterson. and
upon completion of its work it
will report its findings to the
Liberal Caucus at Queen's
Park, which will recommend
changes in legislation aimed
at achieving redevelopment
and renewal of smaller
centres.
Questions to be addressed
are as follows - How can we
keep skilled labour in the
small towns? How can we
make apprenticeship and
manpower training programs
more suitable to the smaller
industrial facilities? - Flow
can we improve the revenue
picture for rural'

Debate rural needs
municipalities? - We need im-
proved transportation bet-
ween rural communities.
How can we develop more ef-
fective and viable links bet-
ween smaller centres? - We
need a workable policy on the
locating of industrial
facilities. How can smaller
municipalities be assisted to
more effectively compete for
jobs and investments? - Rural
municipalities need a
stronger voice in government.
How can we strengthen their
political clout'?
The Task Force just recent-
ly returned from a trip to Nor-
thwestern Ontario and after
meeting with various groups
in Fort Frances and surroun-
ding areas, it became very
obvious to me that Northern
Ontario has been sadly
neglected by the Ontario
Government. It is my opinion
that there must be a greater
government commitment to
Northern development, as On-
tario needs the North, its con-
tribution and potential to the
vitality, economic well-being
and life of'ourprovince.
Northern Ontario is larger
in population than three of the
Atlantic Provinces and covers
an area exceeding all of
Atlantic Canada. It is a world
treasure store of resources.
Through the exploitation of its
natural resource -base, par-
ticularly in pulp and paper,
mining and through tourism,
Northern Ontario has con-
tributed significantly to On-
tario's economic well-being.
For example. its mining in-
dustry produces 37 percent of
the value of Canada's metalic
mineral each year. Its
wilderness areas have offered
pleasure and rejuvenation to
hundreds of thousands of peo-
ple. and have been the source
of inspiration to, among
others. Morley Callaghan, the
Group of Seven. and Poet
Duncan Campbell -Scott.
For too long, Southern On-
tario . has neglected
developments in the north or
treated them as being less
than relevant to its own
endeavours.
For too long, (he govern-
ment has repeated vague
platitudes about the North.
For example, in his 1977
Brampton Chatter, Premier
Davis committed the govern-
ment to "balanced growth
and development in the
North". while that same year,
the then treasurer Darcy
McKeough told the North
there would be no major in-
dustrial development in Nor-
thern Ontario for decades.
Unfortunately, the govern-
ment's performance and
priorities affecting the north
have been sadly misplaced. A
needed resource research
centre study is located in
Toronto rather than a Nor-
thern University. The budget
allocated to the Ministry of
Northern Affairs for 1983/84
has been cut by $22 million,
with much of the reduction in
the areas of northern
economic development and.
northern transportation, vital
sectors if we are to build a
diversified, permanent
economic base in the north.
The Allan Commission of In-
quiry reported in February
1983 about the widening gap
between educational pro-
grams in the small secondary
northern schools and the rest
of Ontario, and the need for
the Ministry of Education to
face up to the critical educa-
tional problems in the North.
The Ministry of Natural
Resources has been proved
incapable of administering its
own moose conservation pro-
gram, leading to the indefen-
sible slaughter of hundreds of
animals. The government
continues to mishandle its
fishing agreements, causing
considerable concern on the
part of commercial
fishermen in particular and
sports fishermen in general.
The part of the Task Force
report dealing with the North
will be aimed at building a
stronger Northern understan-
ding in the Legislature and to
seek social and economic
justice for the North.
The Task Force is learning
of different kinds of problems
in Southern Ontario and these
too will he included in the
report which will lead to fu: -
ther discussion and debate in
the Legislature.
This is a good example of
the democratic system work-
ing at its best when the Op-
position Party shapes policy
and makes recommendations
for government consideration
based on its rindings by.
travelling throughout the pro-
vince and talking to the
people.
Afterall the government is
nothing more and nothing less
than a small group persons
elected by the people to be
responsible for the direction
and supervision of public
affairs. •
Schade came to bat with the
bases loaded with two out. He
hit a home run making it 8-5.
In the 5th inning Lakeside got
two runs, Dashwood got five
making it 13-7. The final score
was Dashwood 16- Lakeside 8
with a very happy tram and
coaches. They now go to the
semi-finals near Wingham.
