Debate
continues
on Suncor
BY JACK RIDDELL,
M.P.P.
Debate on the Suncor deal
continues.. Angry Opposition
members have demanded
that the Speaker enforce the
rules of the Legislature that
Premier Davis table the
compendium of information
which he used when deciding
to buy Suncor Stock.
He was asked for such a
compendium when he an-
nounced the purchase, about
which only four Ministers
knew ahead of time, and
which was strongly opposed
by the Treasurer, Frank
Miller. Liberals have ex-
pressed strong opposition to
the transaction, and have
complained that the $650
million could have been bet-
ter spent to support the Pro-
vince's industries.
The sad truth is that the
$650 million being spent on
Suncor will not create one
single new job in Ontario,
and will result in capital
outflow to the United States.
This money should have ,
been spent on creating new
jobs for Ontarians, by '
ing. energy supplies using
Ontario resources - on
significantly improving our
economyrather than
bleeding it of vital capital.
Had the $650 million been
invested in fuel alcohol
'plants; six 1,000 .tonne -a -day
plants could have been con-
structed, with the • capaicity
of : producing 430 million
gallons of . fuel alcohol a
year.'i By 1990, these plants
could have replaced 15 per-
cent of Ontario's gasoline re
quirements. In addition,
such a project would have
created nearly 7,000 direct
and continuousjobs, as well
as more than one thousand
jobs during -construction of
the plants.
Such a venture would have
secured these fuel supplies
for the province; would have
kept the capital in Ontario;
would have created badly
needed jobs; and would have
helped to revitalize our pro- •
vincial economy.
Insurance
The Honourable Gord
Walker, Minister of Con-
sumer and Commercial
Relations, has stated that
automobile insurance com- '
panies won't be allowed to
charge elderly drivers
nigher premiums solely
because of their age.
More than 250,000 of On-
tario's five million licensed .
drivers are over 65, and the
Minister has said it is "un-
fair and arbitrary" for some
firms to charge more. and to
request medical 'certificates
from elderly drivers in good
health.
Effective inunediately; no
insurance firm can refuse to •
renew a policy or -to sell a
new one solely on the basis of
the driver's age.
Rent Review
The Consumer and Com-
mercial Relations Minister,
Gord •Walker, has also stated
that the government is not
planning, to abolish rent
review "now, next year, or
in the immediate future...
Some form of rent review
will remain... until there is a
substantial increase in
available apartment units in
those 1, communities which
are experiencing critical
shortages."
He expressed the view that
a premature end to Ontario's
rent review program could
precipitate sharp and sud-
den rent increases, causing "
severe financial difficulties
for many tenants.
.Human Rights
Accotding to the Minister
of Labour, Dr. Robert Elgie,
the Conservatives have
reached a consensus over
legislation to create a new
Human Rights Code. he said
• he has removed one of the
most controversial pro-
posals, which. provided that
someone who refused to pro-
duce documents for a human
`41' rights investigator could
face a criminal charge of
