It the public doesn't want
the quantity and quality of
their health care reduced,
od,
politicians will have to
realign their spending
:priorities, Dr., Manning i .
adore past presiident of. the
Ontario Medical 'Association,
told the Downtown Toronto
Lions Club last week.
Responding to statements
by politicians that too much
money is ' being spent on
health care, Dr. Mador said
"we should spend on health
the amount of money the
public wants to spend." He
suggested that before -cutting
down the government health
budget, the public should
have been asked "whether
theywould be willing to pay
increased premiums or a
patient participation fee or
increased faxes" to maintain
present services.
Dr. Mador said he didn't
accept the thesis of political
economists that health care is
consuming a disproportionate
amount of public --funds. He
quoted Hon. Marc Lalonde,
minister of national health
and welfare, as saying that.
Ontario's health-related
expenditures represent the
same proportion of the
provincial budget today as
they did in pre -medicare
days. And the citizens of
Ontario spent the same
percentage of their personal
income - one and one-half
percent - on physicians
services in 1973 as they did in
1969.
He criticized the federal
government for "trying to
back out of its financial
commitments" after "using
every mean's `:oilto. and iii-
eluding j oliticat 1blackmail tO
Wee the provinces into
.mcdihar "
Ottawa has left the
provinces the choice of
cutting services to keep costs
down or increasing the
provincial share of costs,
"either by raising premiums
or ..digging deeper into
general revenues to make up
the deficits or both", Dr.
Mador said. "The Ontario
government has chosen to
slash health costs by reducing
services. So medical fees
are down and hospitals are
closed."
If the Ontario Government
wants. to cut down on spen-
ding it should igok to other
items in the budget such as
highways, buildings, justice,
welfare, or "pare down the
monstrous bureaucracy that
has been>builtup, not only at
Queen's Park but throughout
the province". He said it' was
government's responsibility
"to use public funds where
the public wants them used,
not where the bureaucrats
and planners want them
used". -

P.U.C. were:aiiiiong over 1,300
delegates representing
.electr'ic utilitycommissions
from across te province at
the annual meeting Of the
Ontario_AVIiinicipai E1eetic
Association (OMEA, F):
The Association is the
spokesman for more than 340
municipal utilities throughout
Ontario, the commissioner
and councillors of which were
elected., to operate a
specialized municipal service
and thus represent more than
two million residential,
commercial and - industrial
eu'storners served by, the.
municipal distribution
systems, and who consume
two-thirds of the electric
power in Ontario.
Delegates to the two day
annual meeting, held at the
Royal York Hotel, March 1st
and - 2nd, were involved in
discussion on a number of
significant issues that affect
their consumers, ranging
from -costing and pricing to
the use and conservation of
electricity► in Ontario.
Program speakers included
the Hon, • D.R..Titnbrell,
minister of energy for
Qntario, and R.B. Taylor,
chairman of the board of
.Ontario Hydro. -
General: Chairman of the
annual meeting was Alan B.
Cousins of Wallaceburg,
Ontario, retiring president of
O
Addressing the delegates,
Mr. Cousins paid tribute to
committee members and
directors who had made an
admirable and dedicated
contribution during one of the
most active years in the
Association's history.
"The •55 day hearing of the
Ontario- ' Enemy Board into
Ontario 'Hydro's bulk power
rates for 1976 was precedent
setting, demanding and
costly... further intensified, by
the subsequent appointment
and hearings of the Select
Committee of the Legislature
on Hydro rates", said Mr.
Cousins, "not to mention the
Royal Commission on
Electric Power Planning and
the many other interfaces
that now demand attention".
Advocating a higher profile
in future- hearings of the
Ontario Energy Board and all
other Boards, commissions
and committees of enquiry,
Mr. Cousins charged the

consumers of electricity • and

knowledgeable about elec-
trical energy, its costs: the
demands, and the continuing
efforts being made to ensure
a continuous supply of energy
to meet the needs of the
people of Ontario".
The Annual Meeting was
held in conjunction with that
of the Association of
Municipal Electrical Utilities
(in Ontario) (AMEU).
