The first proposals of the commission were released on August' 29, 1986. -Public hearings were held in eight cities,across On- tario in November and December. The report presentee today revised the original, proposals as a consequence of representa- tions at these hearings. Amendments to the law enacted in March 1986 allot Ontario 99 electoral districts, up from the present 95. Districts would be add- ed in six areas: Brampton, Mississauga, . Halton Region, York Region and Ottawa - Carleton Region. Districts would be remov- ed from• two areas: the City of Toronto.and the area of .Brune, Grey and Wellington counties. Only five districts would remain unchanged under the revised proposals. ' under th,e revised proposals. The revisions in the report affect 67 of the. 99 districts first proposed, but do not change the proposed allocation of seats among the various regions of the province. Because of the low populations of the pre- sent ridings of BRUCE -GREY, GR.EY- SIMCOE and HURON -BRUCE, a district would be removed from the area. The ex- isting HURON -BRUCE would lose the Township of Carrick and Village of Mildmay to' BRUCE -GREY while gaining the townships of Bruce, Kincardine, Greenock and Saugeen and the municipalities within them from BRUCE -GREY. BRUCE -GREY would also lose the ToWnship of Egrement to WELLINGTON-DLJFF'EitlN-SIMCOE but would gain the City of Owen Sound and the townships of Artemesia, Euphrasia, St. Vin- cent, and Sydenham: The revised WELLINGTON-DUFFERIN- SIMCOE would' also gain t'Ie'townships of Collingwood, Nottawasaga, Osprey, and Pro - lop and the municipalities within them. The Township _ of Nichol, Town of Fergus and Village of Elora, removed from WELLINGTON-DUFFERIN-SIMCOE in the first proposals, would be returned Wit. The present GUELPH tre-named GUELPH -WELLINGTON ) would consist of the City of Guelph, the Village of Erin and the. Townships. of ErarYn.osa, Erin, Guelph, Pilkington and'Puslinch, .. • . Members of the House of Commons now have thirty days to.. file objections to. the revised proposals. Objections Will be. con- sidered'in as committee of the House of Com- mons. The minutes of the proceedings of the committee are returned to the Commission, which then has thirty days to consider these objections and return a final report.

The new districts will take effect upon the first dissolution of Parliament occurring more than one year after the proclamation of the new districts. The existing districts continue in force until that time,. For further information contact Alan Stewart, Secretary to the Commission, at 14161 973-5425. OPP release new findings A second Ontario Provincial Police survey of impaireed drivers reveals disturb- ing new information about drinking and driving on Ontario roadways. "We are concerned about the degree of in- toxication of impaired drivers in Ontario," said OPP Commissioner Archie Ferguson. -Our officers find the average impaired driver has consumed the equivalent of eight bottles of beer. Compare this to the legal limit of intoxication which the average per- son reaches after. three or four bottles of beer, .and it's 'apparent that the drinking driver is a deadly risk to himself and others on our provincial highways," he added. • A second unexpected finding revealed that upwards of one-third of intoxicated drivers are repeat offenders. "Some drivers don't seem to learn that drinking and driving is a serious 'offence with deadly consequences which will not be' tolerated in this province," said Mr. Ferguson. This survey, the second of three OPP surveys, was conducted July 25 to August 4, 1986. Information for the first survey was taken December 20, 1985 to January 2, 1986. t ne results of thrs,survey support the fin- dings of the earlier survey which developed the following profile of a typical impaired driver: Single, employed, male and under the age of 30 (25 per cent of the Survey total ). Generally, this person consumed about eight bottles of beer on average at a licensed premise or a friend's residence and drove his car a short distance prior to apprehension r a distance that was usually within five kilometers of his home). •Other Observations: Party hosts- continue to let their guests drive away from their homes in a drunken condition. Younger hosts are the least likely to insure their guests are inna fit condition to drive. The survey indicated that northern On- tario has a rate of impaired driving three times that of southern Ontario. The comparison of the two surveys also shows that intoxicated drivers were im-' paired to the same degree, regardless of the season. "This tells us that while intensive enforce- ment prorams, such as RIDE„ can cut down on the overall number of impaired drivers, it has no effect on the degree of impair- ment." said Mr. Ferguson. The results of the two surveys are having an effect on how the ()PP enforces drinking and driving laws across Ontario. The OPP feels having a better concept of who'to look for will allow officers to apprehend more drinking drivers. The results of a third survey conducted during the last Christmas holiday season should be available by May. "I believe that we are the first police department to conduct this type of scientific study in-house," said Mr. Ferguson. "We put a great deal of trust in our fin- dings because of the accuracy of our data. We surveyed all the drivers who were charged with impaired driving rather than taking a smaller representative numb . Ill total approximately 1,200 impaired drivers were surveyed," he said.
