Since taking office, literally hundreds of in- itiatives have been launched to change the way we are governed — to provide more open and accountable government and to improve the quality of life for all Ontarians. In the most recent session, a total of 56 government bills were debated and passed into law to assist the people of Ontario in the pursuit of a more secure way of life. In the Throne Speech last spring, Premier David Peterson pledged to address three specific concerns which represent impor- tant challenges Ontario must face for years to come. One is the need to insure that the people of Ontario succeed in an increasingly com- petitive international- market. We must compete with the best in the world to ensure growth in jobs and security. To that end, action was taken on a number of fronts including the creation of a billion dollar technology fund, administered by the Premier's Council. This council, composed of representatives from business, labour and universities, will steer Ontario into the forefront of technology and innovation. A second area of concern outlined in the Throne Speech is the need to adapt our education system — and our training pro- grams — to ensure our young people can take advantage of the jobs of the future. In this vital area, the Liberal Government has significantly increased spending on post secondary education. We have also en- couraged colleges and universities to become centres of excellence, developing expertise in targeted areas. And we have pumped additional resources into skills training programs and co-op education, to make sure our young people have the basic skills needed to succegd. A third matter of deep concern is the recognition of the changing demographics in Ontario — the aging of our population, and the rise in the number of single parent families, as well as double -income families. These changes place new and increasi. demands on our systems of care. The Government has launched an objec- tive and thorough review of our health-care system, a system on which we spend almost $10 billion a year. The Evans Review will ex- amine the long-term needs of our health- care system, addressing these demographic changes, as well as the new trends in health, manpower and technology and the need for greater emphasis on preventive medicine. To deal with immediate needs, we have in- vested $850 million in hospital im- provements, launched initiatives to improve community support for our senior citizens and introduced amendments to the Nursing Home Act to enshrine basic human rights for seniors in those institutions. The Government has also been successful in securing investment both at home and from foreign sources, to maintain the growth of the vital automotive sector, which is the direct and indirect source of one in five jobs in Ontario. One of the major accomplishments in the last 18 months has been the change in the way we govern ourselves. Television coverage of the legislature has been exter� ed from question period on through to co mittee debates and special hearings. On- tarians now have the opportunity to view the process of government as never before. Wintario Grant The Pineridge Snowmobile Club of Hen- sall has received a $4,061 Wintario Develop- ment grant from the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation. The club will use the grant to purchase an Alpine snowmobile. I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy holiday season. I look forward to working with you in the new year. 4
