Ontario is the only pro- vince in Canada which con- tinues to have five years of high school, even though students from other pro- vinces can enrol in Ontario's colleges and universities without having to take remedial courses. This report is one of a number of similar studies undertaken by the Government since 1950; most of them have also recommended the phasing - out of Grade 13 because it is considered unnecessary. During the recent provincial election , campaign, Liberal Leader Stuart Smith also made a similar suggestion. So far, Education Minister Bette Stephenson has refus- ed to indicate her reaction to the idea: She says she's waiting for the educational community to express their opinions. Grants lo Pulp and Paper Firms • . Industry Minister Larry Grossman has revealed that the Government plans to give another $20 million this year to Ontario's pulp and paper industry to help modernize its plants. Grossman told the Legislature that these funds are the last in a $120 million grant programme to seven forestry companies, begun in 1979 - even though a study prepared for a Government Royal Commisssion conclud- ed last year that the grants are not necessary. The. In- dustry Minister discounted that study, and ,claimed that renovations "simply would not have happened." Nearly all of Ontario's pulp and paper companies have recorded significant profits in the last three years. New Revelations on Re -Mor Bimonthly Reports, a respected independent Toronto newsletter, has -claimed- in its -most recent. issue that the Ontario Secnrities Commission had a "record of consistent failure" in acting as a wat- chdog over the collapse of Astra Trust and Re -Mor In- vestments Ltd. Hundreds of Ontarians - many of them senior citizens - lost their life savings when the two firms went bankrupt in 1980. Even though the OSC began in- vestigating Astra - Re -Mor in 1978, it apparently dragg- ed its feet while the principle director of the companies was making questionable ex- penditures with company assets. The Ontario Liberal Party has been urging" the Government , to reconvene the Legislative Committee's investigation into the entire Astra - Re -Mor scandal, but the Government has so far refused. Changes in Rent Review Despite assurances during the recent eiection•campaign that the Government had no intention of making any changes to the province's rent review system, Premier Davis has told 'the Legislature that he is "not married" to the present 6 percent ceiling on rent in- creases. Davis also told reporters that he never men- tioned a specific ceiling All ex -service personnel and their depen- dents are invited to take advantage of a free Legion service. Mr. C. Wall, Service Bureau Officer from Laindon Ontario, will be at Legion Branch No., 109 on May 20, 1981 at 1:00 P.M. to give -skilled advice on veterans' benefits. Anyone wishing to see Mr° Wall is urged to call or write Mr. H. Young who will arrange an appointment. "They served till death! Why not we?" figure when he •made his election pledge. Rent review was brought into force in On- tairo in the mid -1970's, when rising inflation and land speculation was forcing massive increases in rent levels. Land developers and apartment owners have been critical of the programme, in which tenants... cam forte landlords to justify demands for rent increases above 6 percent to a Rent Review Board. Premier -Davis has still denied that his cabinet hasconsidered raising the ceiling, but there is specula- tion that if inflation con- tinues to rise, a change may ,,come this fall. 01 1 ' Rates There is . also speculation at Queen's Park that the _Government will raise mop rates for all subscribers in the Provincial Budget on May 19th. -The Health Minister.recently came to an agreement with the pro- vince's doctors, in which OHIP fees will go up by 14.75 percent. As a result the total bill for OHIP services will go up by about $175 million, and the Government has to find a way to pay for it. Applying the costs directly to subscribers would mean about $20 extra per year per person. Changes in Cabinet Struc- ture Housing Minister Claude Bennett's ministry has been expanded to include municipal affairs. That an- nouncement was made by Premier Davis in the Legislature last week. The municipal portfolio used to be handled by Intergovern mental Affairs Minister Tom Wells, but Premier Davis is ex- plained the change "reflects and strengthens our commit- ment to the municipal level of government."
