HURON In the House of Commons Melt of the time the last while has been spent on the considera- tion of the estitnate spendings $01 this past year.. Time has been Spent on the Budget De - late and the Department of Finance. Also Public works $pendings has been considered as well as the Department of Labour. Auditor General and Treasury. Board Departments. This oast week the Department i estimates for 67-68 fi _ were passed. ��.ace the beginning of this Session. All Parliament's time has been spent on legislation Which has not been excessive, considering the number of "Members there are in the House who wish to make contributions to many pieces of legislation. Bilingual Statutes were passed one day, the Judges' Act took two days, Prairie Grain Ad- vances took three days; The 'Farm Credit Act took seven days; the Farm Improvement Loans Act took five days; the post office Act took seven days; Interim Supply took two days; the Budget debate took six days and the Throne Speech took eight days. ' • I might mention that the Federal Agriculture Minister and provincial ministers of Ag- riculture achieved near unani- mous agreement on the princi.- ple of the establishment of a National Egg Marketing Agenclt They have agreed that the ob- j'ectives of the °agency would be threefold: (1) to foster a strong efficient and economic poultry industry; (2) to provide a de- pendable supply of quality eggs to consumers at stable.prices. They agreed that, should an agency be established and should it implement provincial, regional or national' marketing quotas, it would be instructed to limit allocation of market- ing quotas to production facili- ties established before the end of November 1968. This lin- Station would,remain in effect Until further expansion of the 1Rdustry is necessary. All prov- inces were represented. .Mother thing that has caused Much ?concern -to' -Canadians is the'tremendous increase in the cost of the Art Centre being t, constructed in Ottawa. •In 1963 the original estimate of the • cost of $9. million was made. Qnce,the planning began and a site on Confederation Square selected this was revised up- wards to $18 million. The cost at the moment with the project still uncompleted is some $46. trillion. The soaring cost has become a subject for public concern. Following continuing questions in the House of Com- mons, the matter was referred to the Standing Committee on Broadcasting, Films and As- sistance to the Arts, Invitations were extended to the former Minister of Public Works, the Hon. George Mcllraith, to ap- pear before the Committee and also representatives to the Treasury Board. Mr. Mcll- raith and Treasury Board of- ficials chose riot to appear. The Department of Public Works which was charged with the responsibility for tarrying out the project was given the unusual directive that quality and excellence were to take precedence over economy. Backed by this directive, which in practice amounted almost to a blank cheque, Treasury Board gave repeated approval to in- creasing expenditures until the amazing total of $46. million was reached. As a result of this, improvi- dent and irregular fiscal pro- cedure resulting in a misuse of public funds amounting to al- most to "squandermania" the Arts' Centre has come under public criticism even before"it is officially opened.

BY :MURRAY GAUNT,Fitt kf4tIRON UCE v 9(i1 b1 )d • or zli&t 1onts2oq brsoqqa •6 Report from Qveen's.Park The -big news affecting the ridingg of Huron -Bruce this week was "tie announcement of On- tario. Hydro and Atomic Energy of Canada that four generating units and one heavy water plant will be built at Douglas Point, which is in my riding. It Is part of a "plan of Ontar- io Hydro to. embark on a $1, - 035, 000, 000 expansion pro- gram. The program involves the building of two power sta- tions, one nuclear and one coal fired. The nuclear power sta- tion will be built at Douglas Point. Tied in with the expansion at Douglas Point will be a heavy water plant to be b u i l t by Atomic Energy of Canada, a Crown Agency of the Federal Government. Hydro's new nuc- lear plant will have a capabil- ity of 3 million kilowatts, made up. of 4 generating =IS of 750, 000 kilowatts each and will cost ,760 million.. The total cost of the project will be in the neighbourhoad•of 1 billion dollars, . The heavy water plant which is to be built by. A. E. C. , is a 3 -year program with construc- tion ,to begin in the spring of 1969, employing at peak 1, 500 employees. The Ontario Hydro project is an 8 -year program with site preparation beginning in late 1969 and employing at peak 2, 000 men. The develop- ment when completed will em- ploy approximately 200 people, Hydro presently has to buy power from sources outside Ontario which is costing as much as $3.300.00 an hour at peak times.. This decision will give the whole area an economic trans- fusion. It was certainly need- ed. I was delighted with this announcement and I'm sure that enthusiasm is shared by everyone in .our area. It will undoubtedly put extra' pressures on the municipalities to provide housing and facilities which 'will be required to provide for those people who will be com- ing into the area to work at Douglas Point. However, I'm sure that these problems can be coped with in an adequate manner. ° -• This wek the Minister Of Municipal „Affairs outlined in detail a blueprint for regional Dovernmen.t. He indicated the epartment will exercise. a . veto power over future munici- pal boundary changes to ensure they conform to the implemen- tation of regional government ii. Ontario. All future boundary changes must be cleared .with his Department before they go - to the Ontario Municipal Board. Implementation of regional government units will be a four - stage process in each area. The Government will proceed on a priority basis giving its first attention to areas where the need is greatest, These areas are Sudbury, Muskoka, Niagara and Kitchener -Waterloo. ° Mr. Mclreough said the Gov- ernment has decided to create regional government units with a basic population of between 150 , 000 and 200 , 000. Whether there will be smaller municipal govemment units within the regions will be decided separ- ately for each region and will depdhd on distribution of pop- ulation and geographical size. ' The idea seems to be to have an urban core.or central city area at the heart and as much suburban, semi -rural and rural areas surrounding it as could be econoinically support- ed. This will allow the region- al government System to coin- cide with the regional develop= sent plan the Government ex- pects to begin implementing in 1970. If, a region is to have a two- tiered governmental structure, the population targets for rrtun- icipalities will be between 8,000 and 10,000. At the moment, 90% of Ontario's mun- icipalities'are below this min- imum figure. The Govern- ment will aim for representa- tion by population on the reg - 'tonal governments. Mr. Mc- Keough said existing county boundaries will not be used in all cases for deciding regional boundaries. Under the regional responsi- bility will be matters like health and welfare, arterial roads, transit, police, capital borrowing, pa r k s and assess - went. Under Joint regional - municipal responsibility will be sewage, water supply, fire protection, planning, tax col- lection. Other responsibilities will be local. Implementing regional gov- ernment will take these four steps: 1. Discussion and consulta- tion between the'fifovince and municipalities within a region. 2. Preparation of a specific proposal by the province which will be presented to the muni- cipalities. f 3. Development of a firm proposal and draft legislation. 4. Passage of the legisla- tion by the Legislature. "Ronny, didn't your consci- ence tell you not to do that?"
