JACK'S JOTTINGS FROM QU(EN'S PARK
- Questions raised by Albert
Roy (L, Ottawa East) in May
about Imperial Optical Com-
pany's control of the optical in-
dustry led to an investigation
and a sequence of three stories
in the Globe and Mail just
recently. Following the infor-
Mittion which was revealed Mr.
Roy suggested that a Royal
Commission be set up to in-
vestigate the optical industry,
and particularly the Canada -
wide activities of Imperial Op-
tical Co. Lds. His suggestion
came on the heels of a demand
by Liberal Leader Robert
Nixon for an independent in-
vestigation by the Provincial
'Government into the optical in-
dustry. Premier Davis assured
the Legislature thatl the On-
tario 'Government is .certain to
intestigate the structure and
the membership of the
Ophthalmic Dispensers Board.
The five Government -
appointed members of the
Board all have a conflict of in-
terest associated with Imperial
Optical. Stephen Lewis, Leader
of N.D.P. said it would appear
that, the Ministry of Health was,
in cahoots with Imperial Op-
tical in order to have this com-
plete price control and dispen-
sing control of the industry.
Ontario- Treasurer' John
White told the Legislature he
informed 31 municipalities to
introduce zoning bylaws gover-°�'
ning land use or face Govern-
ment freezes on development.
N.D.P. leader Stephen Lewis
asked Mr. White in the
Legislature question period
what he would ,do to prevent
situations where developers
build just outside town boun-
daries on unzoned land, often
disrupting the town's planned
development and frequently in
contravention of official plans.
The Government imposed
development controls Thursday
on Goderich and Colborne
townships after Goderich oft'
ficials complained that a shop-
ping centre outside the town
would kill a shopping centre
within the town that has been
planned for almost three years.
Mr. White said the Govern-
ment will fight the developer,
Rockledge Properties Ltd., in
court if it attempts to build
despite the ministry controls.
The Ontario Government has
moved to tighten the law
covering the issuing of
mechanical fitness certificates
for used motor vehicles
Garages are to be licenced as
inspection stations and
mechanics registered for better
identification. Improper and
fraudulent issuance of cer-
tificates will be justification for
withdrawing the privilege, Gor-
don Cara:in, Minister of Tran-
sportation and Com-
munications, told the
Legislature. Appeals, against
the revocation of licences or
registration will be heard by
the Licence Suspension Appeal
Board.
The Legislature last night
approved $1,103,000 to run the
Premier's office at Queen's
Park for the year ending'March
31, and $1,090,000 for the
operation of the Cabinet office.
Before the Government
received approval Premier
William Davis underwent 15
minutes of strong criticism
from Liberal Leader Robert
Nixon and New Democratic
Party Leader Stephen Lewis.
A three-man commission
which will redraw Ontario's
political map for the next
provincial election will be told
it must add no more than eight
seats to the 117 -seat
Legislature. A resolution
placed on the order paper by
Premier William Davis sets the
commission upper and lower
limits of 125 and 417 seats. It
specifies that there must be no
cut in the 15 ridings in north-
western Ontario, although their
boundaries may be altered.
This provision will provide the
main- exception to another
guideline - that redistributed
ridings should not fall more
than 25 percent above or below
the provincial average
population per riding. The com-
mission will be appointed next
week.
A proposed amendment to
the Public Commercial
Vehicles Act would appoint
special investigators with more
authority than present inspec-
tors of OPP to investigate
trucks on the highway. Theae
investigators would also be
allowed to enter premises to
examine books and documents
- by force, with a court order •
seize papers and iliquire into
transactions. Other amend-
ments provide for roadside
checks on trucks extending
PCV licencing to leased
trucking operations, and con-
trol of freight forwarding
operations.
Ontario municipalities are to
be given the power to ban
trucks from the left-hand lanes
of six -lane highways with speed
limits of at least 50 'bph. The
Government introduced
legislation to pass on the power
"in view of public acceptance of
a similar ban in effect on cer-
tain parts of the King's high-
way system" - .notably High-
ways 400 and 401 and the
Queen Elizabeth- Way, where
there are three lanes eaclway.
Premier Wm. Davis in-
troduced legislation which will
give Ontario's 117 MPP's a pay
raise to $15,000 a year from
$12,000, with the tax-free ex-
pense allowance increased to
$7500 from $6000. The in-
creases would be retroactive to
October 1st. The Provincial Government
is prepared to send 20
mediators across the province if
school teachers withdraw their
services in contract disputes,
Education Minister Thomas
Wells told the 'Ontario
Legislature. Mr. Wells"said.,his
ministry was in daily contact
with the school boards concer-
ned and he hoped most of the
disputes might be settled by the
end of the year. The threat of.
withdrawing services, he said,
was all part of a tool in an
ongoing confrontation regar-
ding_.salaries and .working con-
ditions.
Changes within- the
legislation introduced by the
Labor Minister allow for ex-
pansion of the Workmen's
(_ ompensation Board ' from its
present three members up to
seven, all to be . appointed by
the Government. 'One com-
missioner will be vice-chairman
of administration, another vice-
chairman of appeals,
separating the two functions at
the board's top level. The
Board will have the power to -
determine at what rates em-
ployers are assessed and review
and approve major changes in
its programs. Subject to Gover-
nment approval the board shall
determine its own practice and
procedure in relation to ap-
plications, appeals -and
proceedings.
There is nothing in the
legislation providing for in-
creased payment to injured
workmen or increased salaries
of board members. The Govern-
ment is considering both mat-
ters.
Other changes extend
benefits now paid to widows to
_dependent widowers, men who
were dependent on' wives who
have died and are entitled to
payment. At the discretion of
the board such benefits may
also be paid to common-law
spouses of six years, if there are
no children, and of two years if
there is at least one child.
Geo. Kerr, Provincial
Secretary for Justice, tabled a
green paper on Sunday
shopping_. and uniform weekly
store hours in the Legislature.
It gives no...positive indications -
of the provinces inclinations.
Rather it outlines the advan-
tages and disadvantages of four
possible options fq,r action .on
Sunday retailing, and five op-
tions for dealing with the
uniform store hours question.
It would appear that the On-
tario Government will not take
a firm position on legislated
controls over the sensitive mat-
ter before next spring.
Energy Minister Darcy
McKeough responding to NDP
demands said there is nothing
the Ontario Government can do
to control the amount of
uranium exported from the
province and the price to be
paid for,crude oil,from -Alberta.
Control of uranium exports was
seized from this province by the
Federal Government in 1947,
but Mr. - McKeough said
uranium- sales should be con-
trolled by a board similar to
the National Energy Board. He
said there is precisely nothing
the Government can do to
prevent oil companies from
raising prices.
Denturists were given until
December 7 to register fcr
examinations in order to con-
tinue their practice as dental
therapists. Health Minister
Richard Potter said that den-
turists not allowed„,to practice
except as dental therapists
would be prosecuted if the di
not apply for examination s to
be held later this month and
next month. They .ere given
until December 7th to register.
