r
Report from Queen's Park
The Government of Ontario
has indicated on several ecca-
sions that it intends to reform
, the taxation and government
structure in Ontario. The Gov-
ernment has also said that it, in-
tends to tax capital gains when
a provincial income tax is in-
troduced.
As for municipal taxation,
the Treasurer announced in his
budget statement -of March 5th,
that, as of January 1, 1970, the
Province will assume responsi-
bility for the administration of
real property tax assessment.
The objective is to ensure that
the entire province is assessed
at market value by the end cif
1975. This would mean a tre-
mendous increase in taxes for

' farmers and woo -make it
doubly difficult because of the
limited ability of working farms
to.pay taxes out of current in-
come. ,
• The, Government has now
recognized this, and so it was
with considerable interest that ,
I listened to.the Minister of Mu-
..,nicipal Affairs, ,Honourable, •
Darcy MegePugh,
that the Government is taking
the first step towards,develop-
ing a policy for taxing working
farms which will be equitable
In relation to other classes of
property and will not impose an
undue burden on the farm so
long as the land remains in ag-
ricultural use.
The Minister is appointing a
comittee representative of ag-
riculture and municipal govern-
ment to make recommendations
to the Government with respect
to: (1) the definition of a work-
ing farm; (2) the appropriate ,
basis for valuing farms for tax
purposes; (3) the manner in
which the farms should be taxed
The Committee will have to re-
port to the Government by Oc-
tober 1, 1969.
In late 1968, the Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture and
Food,' ARDA Branch, notified
municipalities in .Ontario that
the 1/3 grant which ARDA had
been making for drainage pro -
grams was being restricted to
those drainage contracts that
were awarded prior to January
.1, 1969. This announcement
created a good deal of concem
among rural municipalities •
which were at that particular
time processing petitions from
farmers for a heavy volume of
municipal drains. Almost all
of the rural municipalities in
our area were involved, some
of them rather heavily in drain-
age programs at various stages
of progress.
I raised the matter with the
Minister of Agriculture and
Food, Honourable William Stew-
art, on several occasions, point-
ing out to/him that farmers
signed these petitions believing
they would receive 2/3 of the
cost of these drains. The Min -
!stet agreed to reconsider the
matter and suggested if funds
could be found the Departrrient
could try and keep its 'commit-
ment at least to the extent of
paying the 2/3 grant on all°
drains where the petitions had
been received by the munici-
pality prior to January 1, 1969.
The Minister. agreed this week
to do this and the municipali-
ties will be notified accordingly
in the' very 'near future.
The Premier announced this
week that the Legislature would
recess for the summer on June
27th and that the House would
be reconvened again sometime
in September. •
