Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1985-10-02, Page 5• BY JACK RIDDELL , F)(viteN•MIDDLESEX, When the Liberal government was sworn in on June 26, Premier David Petersen spoke of making the process of government more open and accessible. In keeping with that spirit, he and the Ontario Cabinet took to the road last week, moving the process of government outside the walls of Queen's Park. The first stop was a cabinet meeting in London, at the University of Western On- tario. There, in the first of two announcements, the members of the Ontario Cabinet decided .to strengthen the province's boycott of South African products as a protest against apar- theid. The Ontario government will stop buying fruit from South Africa used to supp- ly correctional institutions and other government facilities. In making the an- nouncement, Peterson said, "it's a way that we, provincially, can register our disap- proval of the racist policies of that govern- ment." In a joint announcement, Minister of In- dustry, Trade and Technology, Hugh O'Neil, and the Minister responsible for Women's Issues, Attorney General Ian Scott, unveiled a program to support women entrepreneurs and women considering business ownership in Ontario. Known as the Business Owner- ship for Women Program, it will feature a e to the rb.a.L series of two and three day conferences to be held in London, Sudbury, Ottawa and Thunder Bay. They will take place next February and March. O'Neil said the conferences will provide a local focus for women entrepreneurs and present opportunities for tbem'to exchange information and ideas, make valuable can- tacts and participate in a series of workshops. As well, a series of evening .seminars will be held across the province starting on Oct. 28. • For more information on the Business Ownership for Women Program, you can call the Small Business Hotline, toll free, at 1-800-387,6142. Information may also be ob- tained by contacting Mary Eaton at the Queen's Park office •of the Ministry of In- dustry, Trade and Technology. The number is (416)965-7026. Continuing on the road, the Cabinet held two days of meetings in Haliburton on Sept. 22 and 23. The following day, Cabinet members were joined by the rest of their colleagues for a general caucus meeting. In keeping with the promise to provide full funding for Separate Schools, Education Minister Sean Conway announced that the Ontario government will provide $34 million to cover the cost of funding Grades 9, 10 and 11 to the end of the 1985 school year. This in- terim funding means that for the first time Separate High Schools will be financed on the same per pupil rate as public schools. •In other news, Peterson recently announc- ed that Dr. Robert Elgie, formerly the MPP for the Toronto riding of York East, will be become the Chairman of the Workers Com- pensation Board. He succeeds the Honorable Lincoln Alexander, who left the position to become Ontario's new Lieute- nant Governor. "Bob Elgie is well known for his compas- sion for people and his dedication to the public service," Peterson said. "No position inOntario requires these attributes more than the Chairmanship of the WCB." • Meanwhile, the Select Committee on Economic Affairs is continuing to study what effect free trade with the United 4,ates might have .on the provincial economy. Chairman of the Commmittee, David Cooke, MPP for Kitchener, took the committee members on a fact finding trip to Washington, D.C., to give them a chance to discover what attitudes and opinions are held by members of the U.S. government on free trade. The corrunittee members reported back that the mood in Congress dif- fers from that of the administration, which supports free trade. "Ontario is the biggest trading partner the United States has," said Cooke. "While we have a lot of goodwill with the U.S. government, there is a need to become more actively involved in American politics to en- sure that Ontario's interest are not taken for granted."
