Queen's Park
Senior citizens should not be discriminated against
BY JACK RIDDELL,
MPP
We recently celebrated
Senior Citizens' Week in
Ontario - and rightly so. It is
always a particular pleasure
to recognize the contribution
being made and the con-
tribution which has been
made over the years by our
older citizens. It is also a
particular responsibility to
ensure that senior citizens
are not discriminated
against because of their age.
Ontario's population is
rapidly aging. In fact, by the
year 2001, with the post war
baby boom moving up the
age scale, 13.6 per cent of the
total population will be over
65, compared with 8.9 per
cent in 1976. Statistics from
the Treasury Ministry
confirm that not only is the
elderly population growing
at a much faster rate than
the population at large, but
more significantly, the over
75 group, who need the
greatest amount of health
care and use a dispropor-
tionate number of hospital
beds, will increase by 120.6
per cent by 2001. In Ontario,
868,200 Tople, ro,presenting,
one in ten, are now over 65.
The social and economic
implications of the
"Geriatric Boom" are
becoming more important.
For example, wherever
possible we should be
providing care for the
elderly outside our costly
medical framework through
the community-based ser-
vice approach- However, the
Ontario Government has
failed to translate the
rhetoric of non -
institutionalization into the
development of a com-
prehensive system of home
support and community
services.
There are close to 50,000 of
Ontario's elderly who could
use some form of home
maintenance support which
would help keep them in
their homes instead of in-
stitutionalizing them.
While recognizing the
complexities of the problems
involved, we cannot overlook
the fundamental principle
that advancing age must not
deprive a person of freedom
of choice as to, how they
conduct their lives.
There are two primary
issues to be considered here.
First, we must keep in-
stitutionalization to a
minimum, permitting
elderly people to continue to
live in their preferred
surroundings.
The second issue is
economic security, and in
this connection we shall have
to fie prepared, as a society,
to enrich income programs,
to compensate for the
erosion of value caused by
inflation.
Too many older Ontarians
live a life of poverty. As the
number of aged people in-
creases, we shall have to
decide whether we are
willing to consign the older
segment of the community to
poverty and isolation.
The Ontario Liberal Party
is not prepared to cid this.
In 1982, Liberal Leader
David Peterson tabled a
resolution to increase the
GAINS payment of the single
elderly person to bring their
income up to a level of at
least 60 per cent of the level
of a married couple.
We believe that any policy
for the aged Must have four '
central components:
provision for retirement -
because a job is a basic
human right' and people do
not all age at the same rate;
housing - some shelter costs
could be controlled if Ontario
Hydro adopted our proposal
for a "lifeline rate" struc-
ture to provide at a lower
rate the basic electricity
necessary for survival;
transportation - with hn-
provements in accessibility
for those seniors living on the
outskirts of communities and
those needing assistance
such as grab bars or
designated seating; and
finally the opportunity to
continue in the learning
process through courses in
our community colleges.
The American sociologist
I3ernice Neugarten has
coined the phrase the
"young -old" to refer to
people, rich in years and
experience, who have every
intention of continuing to be
active and involved. While
these people may have
special physical and
economic needs, they want
and deserve to have greater
opportunities for productive
living; life-long learning,
cultural enrichment,
community participation
and local political in-
volvement.
Goals and priorities must
be set on the basis of a clear
recognition of the special
rights and potential of all
human beings, regardless of
age.
Want lower interest rates
Farmers who were
refinanced by the Farm
Credit Corporation and are
now locked into interest
rates as high as 163/4 per cent
are in an intolerable position
according to the Christian
Farmers Federation of On-
tario.
The Federation's Provin-
cial Board is calling on the
federal government to lower
interest rates on all FCC
mortgages to 12 per cent.
"The economics of the 80s
are much worse than in the
70s and we have no reasons
to expect an early improve-
ment," the Federation
writes in its letter to the
Honourable Eugene Whelan.
"Those who have had to
refinance during the last few
years have had to dorso at
rates up to 163/4 per cent,"
the CFFO points out. "Those -
farmers who did not need to
refinance pay an average of
8-9 per cent interest 011 long-
term debt. As a result
refinanced farmers cannot
compete. Their fixed in-
terest costs are not affor-
dable in the 80S."
The Federation requests
some form of rewriting of
these high interest mor-
tgages or a direct interest
subsidy.
The Federation wants the
assistance limited to family
farm size mortgages.
