(Shelley McPhee photo) Jack's Jotting from Queen's Park FY BY JACK RIDDELL M.F.P. PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE The Legislature's public •accounts com- mittee has recommended that the Ontario Government consider selling three huge lan- dbanks acquired . in the early 1970s "with little • care for the costs in- volved". __ In -its annual report, the committee stated that the landbank purchases of South Cayuga, Townsend and Edwardsburgh were made without adequate planning and were im- properly conducted. Hearings into the pur- chases by the all -party committee began last year. These were part of a continuing probe into the more than $622 million -the province has banked for --- townsites, industrial development and parks larger than 300 acres. Public interest : in the hdarings increased when the former Treasurer John White testified that he decided one night while driving in the area to purchase both the Townsend and South Cayuga sites on Lake Erie because he dreamed of two cities there in the future._____ Also recommended by the committee: that any data collected by the government through the use of public opinion polls be made public ; that the government refuse to renegotiate contracts with consultants for prices above those quoted Smiley.... • from page 4 when I can get in a word about the dreadful kids I have in Grade 9 this year, my battles with the ad- ministration, and the shrinking of my potential pension through inflation. In the face of all that exoticism, I'll probably be driven to the grave. If this 'happens, tM turkey won't be prepared, cause I always do it. There'll be rivalry in the horror stories. Both of our children will plead extreme poverty, demur the value of the presents they got, and nip out to visit friends on Christmas Eve, while the Old Battleaxe and I make the gravy and whip the during tendering and that merit increases for civil servants be tied to ex- ceptional performance, not merely adequate performance. SOUTH CAYUGA Almost 1,000 angry citizens held a meeting in Dunnville to protest the government's selection of South Cayuga as a site for the disposal of liquid industrial waste. They told Donald • Chant, Chairman of the Crown waste agency which is soon to be incorporated, that they won't accept anything short of a full environmental hearing on the construction of the hazardous waste site. Dr. Chant promised to, pass their message along to the Minister of the Environment i. While environmental assessment has been ruled out by the .gover- nment, he vowed to resign his new post if the Environment Minister backeddown on a public hearing into the technology and geology of the site, or went ahead- - with the site against the recommendations of the hearings of which he, Dr. 'Chant, will be chairman. Meanwhile, at Queen's Park, the Minister of the Environment has stated _that_._he may_ _ _hold off expropriating land for the proposed liquid industrial waste site until it is determined that the site is safe. But landowners will have to allow access to their properties for testing. According to ministry officials, 10 or 11 properties will have to be turnips. And beat the grandboy's, if we can catch them. Ah, but it'll be g,'and to have the family together again. There's nothing that can touch getting up on Christmas morning, hung, and looking after the grandboys for five hours while the "young people" sleep till noon. On' the other hand, there just might be. I am investigating a return ticket to Hawaii, single, for the holiday season. If I left quietly, without fuss, and nobody knew where I was, I could come back on January 2, knowing .- full well that my wife would have kicked the whole mob out.

RE -MOR The Legislature's justice committee has been considering events surrounding the collapse of firms controlled by Niagara Falls businessman Carlo Montemurro, who - with some of his associates is on trial for fraud and theft. Hundreds of people lost their savings in the. collapse of the firms, and the committee is trying to determine whether, bungling or political influence played a part in the decision of the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations to licence Re- ,Mor _' Investment Management Corp. only 13 days after another of Mr. Montemurro's firms -was _placed in. receivership. In the face 'of gover- nment reluctance to release the relevant documents, a Speaker's Warrant was issued on November 24 ordering that all documents on the three 'firms be delivered to the committee. After heated debate, it was decided that a special six -member .sub- committee should have access to the documents. Each party will have one vote to determine how the documents should be handled. BUY CANADIAN! c Canadian jobs could be saved if the Ontario Gover„pment changed its rules on giving preference to buying Canadian -made goods,. according to a report being considered by a Queen's Park committee., The government can now spend up to 10 percent more buying Canadian - made goods rather than imports. The report suggests that figure could be raised to 15 or 20 percent. Among other recom- mendations are: com- panies closing . plants should be compelled to justify their actions, and if the operation is con- sidered viable the Ontario Development Corporation should have the power to take it over; laid off workers should get a week's pay for every year they have been employed by the' firm ; mandatory lay off notices in plants em- ploying more than 500 should -be increased from 16 weeks to six _months; the definition of a tem- porary lay off should be cut from 13 weeks to one month; and the age and length -of -service qualification for` a guaranteed pensio-r6 should be reduced from 45 years old and ten years employed.
