Jack's Jottings from Queens Park
BY JACK
RIDDELL, M.P.P.
A legal drinking age of
19, increased fines for
under -age drinking and
tougher penalties for
drinking drivers, were
announced in the
Legislature this week by
the Honourable Larry
Grossman, Minister of
Consumer and Com-
mercial Relations.
These measures are
part of a legislative
package and will be in-
troduced in the fall. If
passed it would: raise the
legal drinking age from
18 to 19 effective Sep-
tember; increase
maximum fines to $10,000
from $2,000 for drinking
under age and for serving
alcoholic beverages to
those under age, and
establish a $500 minimum
fine; eliminate the
requirement of a sit-down
meal with a Sunday
drink; allow Liquor
Control Board outlets to
remain open on election
days; and exempt
airlines from the normal
limitations on hours
during which alcoholic
beverages may be ser-
ved.
The new measures on
drinking and driving
•announced by the
Minister include: ' more
portable screening
devices in patrol cars; a
mandatory three-year
licence suspension for a
third drinking and
driving conviction; and a
24 hour on -the -spot
suspension for motorists
where the portable
screening device has
indicated a degree of
impairment sufficient to
make the motorist a risk,
although not legally
impaired\
Other measures
proposed by the Minister
are: an education
program for the schools
and an advertising
campaign on alcohol
moderation; amend-
ments making it illegal to
carry open bottles or
glasses or liquor in public
places; increased
promotion of the photo
identification cards
provided by the Minister
of Consumer and Com-
mercial Relations as
proof that an applicant is
old enough to drink and in
addition, driver's
licences with
photographs are being
introduced; and
obligation of liquor
licence holders to request
identification from
anyone who might be
under age, as. well as the
increased fines for ser-
ving to and consumption
by under -age people.
The Minister said the
penalties currently being
imposed are often too low
to warrant police action
or to deter illegal
behaviour.
Municipalities will be
given the right to pass by-
laws making possession
of alcohol illegal in
specific parks, arenas or
stadiums controlled by
the municipalities.
A grandfather clause in
the bill will enable those
turning 18 before Sep-
tember 1, to legally
consume alcohol.
Dr. Stuart Smith,
Opposition Leader, said
that he would have
preferred to see the
Government attempt an
education campaign
against alcohol abuse.
"If that didn't work we
would raise the legal
drinking age as a last
resort," he said.
Agriculture and Food
Minister Bill Newman
has announced a new
asparagus marketing
plan for the 1978 season.
The new plan will include
all asparagus producers,
allow for collection of
licence fees on an
acreage basis, and enable
the board to determine
the minimum price for
asparagus for
processing.
Mr. Newman said that
the , Farm Products
Marketing Board con-
ducted an expression of
opinion of asparagus
producers and 75.5
percent of those voting
supported the proposal
for changes in the
marketing plan. Under
the new marketing plan,
an industry advisory
committee of processors
and producers will hold
formal meetings to
review asparagus
requirements and market
conditions before the
board established the
price to processors.
The Farm Products
Marketing Board, at the
request of the Asparagus
Board will establish a
licence fee of $25 per acre
for 1978. The maximum
fee approved by the
producers in the ex-
pression of opinion was
$35 per acre.
Premier Davis and
Premier Rene Levesque
of Quebec met at Queen's
Park this week, and
apparently dealt with the
question of national unity
only incidentally.
The Premiers' 13 page
communique referred to
vaguely worded
agreements to end
several inter -provincial
irritants, and they spoke
of agreement on "equity
and reciprocity" , for
construction workers
from one province
holding jobs in the other.
Mr. Levesque said that
did not mean that he will
drop a regulation planned
to go into effect July 1,
which would require
extensive Quebec work
experience for Ontario
labourers seeking jobs in
Quebec, and that the two
Ministers of Labour are
continuing negotiations.
He told a press con-
ference that he and the
Ontario Premier should
meet at least one a year.
His own conclusion would
be that the two provinces
can continue their close
association even if
Quebec leaves Canada -
"Whatever the future
may hold, they will
continue to be neigh-
bours," he said of Ontario
and Quebec.
There has been con-
siderable debate in
recent weeks about a
Toronto tabloid "Strike",
which has received a'
number of grants from
the Provincial Govern-
ment - from the Ontario
Arts Council and Win-
tario Funds. Liberal
Leader Stuart Smith
charged that the Minister
of Culture and
Recreation, Robert
Welch, gave personal
approval.
The tabloid is owned by
Kensington Art
Association, and has
published pictures of
bullet -riddled bodies,
advocating terrorism and
stating that it "supports
leg shooting knee capping
to accelerate the demise
of the old system".
The Minister has now
backtracked from earlier
statements ' that the
tabloid had no connection
with the Art Association,
and has said that a
cheque for a further
grant will be blocked
until "a full review" is
run on the group. He
conceded in the
Legislature that "there
are similarities in some
of the names" of the
directors of the
association and the
tabloid. Four of the seven
directors of the
, association are also listed
on the tabloid's editorial
board,. including the
president and vice-
president.
