port of all three parties after
hours of wrangling over
amendments 'propnsed by
the Minister of Education,
Dr. Bette Stephenson and by
the Liberal Education Critic,
Johne,eney. :
Special school programs
for 320,000 Ontario children
with specific learning needs,
are now to be guaranteed for
the first time. Included are
children with learning
disabilities, special in-
tellectual gifts and the
Mentally handicapped.
Special Education Bill 82 is
now a much more effective
piece of legislation following
the Minister's acceptance of
the various amendments.
Parents will be able to ap-
peal the identification of
their child as needing special
education and appeal the
appropriatness of the
program designated for the
child. Not only can the
parents appeal to the local
school boards but they will
also be able to apply for
leave to appeal to a
provincial special education
tribunal.
In the original draft of the
legislation some children
who areunable to profit by
instruction' coula be ex-
cluded by a school board.
This provision has .now
been completely removed
from the legislation and
replaced. by a responsibility
section whish ;requires the
school board to either design
a program to meet the
child's needs or to purchase
the service from some place
else.
With the 'several amend-
ments accepted by the
Minister of Education, Bill 82
is now considered to be a
good piece of legislation that
will be gradually im-
plemented in Ontario schools
over the next five years.
Human rights code
The 'Minister of Labour,
introduced a number of
important amendments to
the Ontario Human Rights
Code. These would prohibit

mentally handicapped and
the young or on the basis of
marital status or because a

Hydro
Ontario Hydro has
recommended to the
Government that the dif-
ference between the elec-
tricity rates paid by rural
and urban residents be cut
roughly in half to 15 per
cent. This difference has
fluctuated between 28 and 34
per cent over the past four
years.
Despite questioning by the
Opposition, the Minister of
Energy, Mr. Robert Welch,
refused to state whether the
government is committed to
making the two rates equal.
As an interim measure,
Hydro is to be given $20
million for 1981 which will
result in a direct discount of
about $3. a month to Hydro's
rural residential customers.
Speaker's warrant
A Speaker's Warrant has
been issued ordering the
Pogo
Minister of Consumer and
Commercial Relations, Mr.
Frank Drea, to hand over all
documents relating to a
Niagara Falls business man
and companies which he
controlled.
When these companies
collapsed the savings of
hundreds of Ontarions were
lost. Last week the justice
committee asked for the
relevant documents as part
of its investigation of the way
the Ministry handled its job
of monitoring and licencing
Re -Mor Investment
Management Corp., a now -
bankrupt mortgage
brokerage, which received
its licence from the province
13 days after another
business controlled by the
same man, Carlo Mon-
temurro, was placed in
receivership.
On the advice of the
Attorney -General Mr. Roy
McMurtry, the Minister had
refused to hand over the
documents because the
matter was before the
Courts. However, Opposition
members combined to
overrule the government and
ask the Speaker to issue a
warrant.
Managing the news
Liberal House Leader
Robert Nixon has accused
the Government of trying to
manage the news by training
civil servants on how to
handle bad news.
Last summer the Ministry
of Housing, began workshops
to train housing authority
managers on how to deal
Couple mark 60 years
with reporters. In a speech
recently, the Deputy
Minister said that employees
would be taught "what
elements reporters are
looking for in a news story
and suggestions on the
handling of bad news".
Mr. Nixon asked the
Minister why the housing
managers are not simply
told the tell the truth.
Children's aid societies
The Minister of Com-
munity and Social Services,
Mr. Keith Norton has stated
that any Children's Aid
Society which is unable to
meet financial obligations
due to unforeseen cir-
cumstances can apply to his
ministry for special help. His
Ministry will review the
circumstances of societies
already in financial dif-
ficulties or projecting
deficits.
The Minister was
responding to questions by
Liberal Paul Blundy of
Sarnia who wanted to know
what could be done to help
the Sarnia-Lambton
Children's Aid Society which
does not have enough money
to do its job and is expected
to "go broke by the end of the
year"
