Etue, Seaforth Wm. Leiper, Londesboro Steve J. Murray, RR 5, Seaforth the Minister of Education has tabled a Bill respecting the Negotiation of Collective Agreements between School Boards and Teachers. The over-riding objectives of this Bill are to, lay down fair and' workable groundrules for or- derly collective bargaining, and to lay the 'foundation for successful negotiations by reasonable people bargaining ingood faith. oThe Mr. Wells said achieves these ob- jective's. It outlines procedures to regulate the bargaining process. It provides innovative measures to. avoid bargaining impasses, it offers practical alternatives to confrontation at every step, and recognizes clearly the realities of collective bargaining in the fieldof education, .One of the provisions of the Bill is the' establishment of the Education Relations Com- • Plait io drop in :t.� Graham Electric Litite mission, a new non-partisan independent body, to monitor and assist all local negotiations between teachers and school boards. The Education Relations Commission will be mainly an advisory body, consisting of five impartial persons backed up by a small staff of experts in areas like negotiations, finance and education policy. The Commission will not only act on behalfof teachers and school trustees, but will act on behalf -of students and parents who are not directly represented in bargaining. Mr, Wells said points that deserved particular mention were: Negotiations will continue to be at the local level between ,teachers and trustees and either party can obtain bargaining advice or assistance from outside suor(t.,s, Littler party can serve notice in January, that it wishes to begin negotiations, leaving seven months to negotiatea new agreement. All agreements must take effect on: September 1st, and nyt-,;rn rw 4111111qt 11 `Ind n15,v he for one Qrmore years. The scope of negotiations will cover any terms or condition of employment put 'forward by either party, except for a certain limited number of items such as pensions. Every agreement must in- clude a grievance procedure to resolvedispUtes that may arise during the duration of ' an agreement. At any time during negotiations, teachers and trustees may ask the Education Relations Commission to send in a 'mediator or a fact finder, or to refer the outstanding • ,, • • „ ••• .0 • • • Washers IL Dryers .1 •,* MICII.IFIFIRIr .LeCIP".4 1%1111:11KIE .16.

A issues to voluntary. binding arbitration or to Final Offer Selection. One of the innovative highlights of the Bill, Mr. Wells said is the option of Final Offer Selection, a form of voluntary binding arbitration, .and to his knowledge' is the first time that it has been specifically provided for in legislation in Canada. Equally innovative and important is the creation of the fact-finding process. When - negotiations between a board and its teachers are at or near an impasse, the Education Relations • Commission will assign an impartial " person, a fact -finder. His, job will be to investigate both sides of the, dispute and to write a report that will expose any extreme or unrealistic.positions on the part of trustees or teachers. The report is made public if no agreement has been reached within 15 days after it has been submitted. • - Mr, James Breithaupt, Liberal House Leader, said the Bill should "avoid the politics of confrontation that were , allowed to fester for the last year and a half". The Liberal party has taken the attitude that teachers should have the right to strike if other methods fail as have the -New Democratic Party. The Education Minister said the Government will "retain the right to take specific ac- tions including legislative action if necessary should serious • disruption of educational service occur." Both opposition parties have pressured the Government to conduct a full public • inquiry •into the operations of Ontario Housing Corporation following disclosure that a Sudbury in- surance agent and, his wife, •both active Conservatives, - made about $200,000 on land bought by the Government public housing agency between' 1968 and 1972, Liberal -House Leader James Breithaupt said suspicious and,) questionable land dealings between Eugene Vannier and his wife Geraldine and the OHC •should be enough • to' persuade' • the Government to launch a full judicial inquiry.

Dr. Shulman described in the Legislature how he went with a companion to a store to pur- chase the rifle. He did not get the .45 calibre he wanted but was, offered similar' weapons carrying a 223 cartridge, similar to th'e one he had. When asked what the purpose cif such. a gun was, the salesman had replied that'll really is only good for killing people". Dr. Shulman said no one •asked his • name or asked for a license. Dr. Shulman also criticized the security of the Legislature. The Speakdr asked Dr. Shulman to remove "what looks like a ' weapon" from the chambers.

Rebognizing, that the Speaker during the question period has to exercise °discrelion he wanted to know on what basis the discretion was exercised. Mr: .Bullbrook referred to a question on draining a lake at Sudbury on which the Speaker permitted" four supplementary questions.

The Minister of Health an- nounced this week that with federal government approval, Ontario is limiting the number of immigrant doctors entering the Province. Immigrant doctors are not being approved for residence in Ontario unless they have pre -arranged em- ployment or agree to maintain a ratio of one doctor for every 575 residents. Discussions are being, held with federal authorities "to make the necessary arrangements for all job _offers to immigrant' physicians to be referrecrto the - — health ministry for an approval' before they areconfirmed for immigration.
