The Goderich Signal-Star, 1975-11-13, Page 27ii hack's Jottings From Queen's park The Residential Premises Rent Review Act, was in- troduced by the Honourable John Rhodes, minister of housing, in the Legislature this week. Mr. Rhodes said that the introduction of rent control in Ontario, at this time is in keeping with the Government's undertaking during the last election, and that it should be viewed in the context of the federal government's anti-inflation measures which it is designed to complement, The minister indicated that he was con- cerned that the possibility of rent control could; have an adverse effect on the development of • rental ac- commodation which is already scarce in a number of communities. However, Mr. Rhodes said that at a time when rents have been, climbing, wages limited and, 'prices subject to review, rent levies must be legislated for the common good. The general principles of the Legislation are: + Leases commencing between July 29, 1975 and • January • 1, 1976, will be limited to a maximum rental increase of eight percent of the rent paid in July, 1975.

The Attorney General, The Honourable Roy McMurtry, informed the Legislature that in view of the introduction of the Residential Rent Review Act, further legislation to ensure security of tenure, is required. Therefore, he in- tends to introduce amend- ments to the Landlord and Tenant Act, to:protect tenants who becom,e involved in rent disputes. Last Tuesday evening, some 3,000 Metro Toronto high school teachers staged a mass demonstration at Queen's Park "to urge the Government to take a more responsible stand on the handover of provincial control of education to the federal government", because the Anti-inflation Board in Ottawa is to have the final say in settling the matter of the 'teachers' new contract. .

This means that negotiations are at a stalemate, and the teachers have now voted overwhelmingly to go on strike, which will affect some 140,000 high school students. In reply to a question by Vernon Singer, Liberal Member for Wilson Heights, as to what progress the 'Attorney General made in tightening up or staving the federal authorities tighten up the drinking and driving laws, Mr. McMurtry in- dicated that he attended a federal -provincial meeting of Attorneys=General in Halifax recently and made representations`'to his federal counterpart with respect to a proposed amendment to the Criminal Code. The proposed amendment dealt with removing from the Criminal Code the power of a judge, in most instances it would be a trial judge, to make order or prohibition arising as a result of a drinking and driving. offence. Mr. McMurtry ' said he in- dicated that in his view this was not in the best interest of controlling or reducing the very serious problem relating Ito drinking and driving on our provincial highways and requested the amendment be changed and that trial judges be given the power to make driving prohibitions up to a period of a lifetime for the appropriate case. Mrs. Margaret Campbell, Liberal member for St. George, asked the ,minister rof community and social ser- vices, whether he has given consideration to redefining disability for the purposes of GAINS. Mr. Taylor, the minister of community and social services, said that a great deal of consideraticin has been given but that it is a difficult problem as there is supposedly a difference between the permanently unemployable and the per- manently disabled.
