Reportfrom
Queen's Park
The 'Ontario Government,
introduced its basic shelter ex-
emption measure this week,
This exemption is a tax credit
system designed to give every
home owner and tenant in ,Ont-
ario a property tax reduction
averaging $45-$60, which was
promised ,before the October 1"l
general election.
Homeowners and tenants
will receive notice from their
municipality of the amount of
.the tax credit. Owners in their
own homes will deduct the
amount from their tax payment.
,Owners paying taxes through
mortgage payments will receive
the benefit in the form of re-
duced payments. -
The same grant will be paid
to everyone eligible within any
municipality, but bedause as-
sessment practices vary between
menicipalities, every eligible
resident in the province will
not receive the same amount.
'Opposition members this
week demanded that the Gov-
ernment increase taxes on ev-
erything from °liquor and beer
to insurance companies and
other corporations in order to
nullify a 2 cent increase in the
cost of gasoline. Bernard New-
man (L. Windsor -W alkerville)
estimated that the man who
drove 15,'000 miles a year al-
ready paid $180.00 in gasoline
• taxes. The increase would
amount to $20,00 a year.
The Legislature recessed on
Thursday of .this week for the
Easter Holidays.- Parliament
will reconvene on April 22nd.
