Despite its concern about the number of people' out of work in the Province, the Ontario Government does not plan any job creation program this winter. Premier William Davis said that he did not feel it would be constructive for the government to create winter projects at this time. He said such solutions were short term and in order to solve the problem on a more lasting basis, it does require on the part of all governments, I guess, a degree of intestinal fortitude that is not always easy to demonstrate". During his remarks of the expenditure estimates of the Ministry of Environment, Murray Gaunt, Liberal MPP for Huron Bruce, called on the Davis Government to establish a marketing agency for recycled materials and to establish no new landfill sites after 1981. He said a marketing agency to co-ordinate the supply of reclaimed materials and to seek customers is "workable" and could promote and accelerate the building of reclamation an'a recycling plants. According to the Minister's own figures, these plants would save more than $11 million every year for the 90 per cent of Ontario garbage that would be affected. Mr. Gaunt said that Ontario Municipalities are not taking up the Provincial Govern- ment's offer to fund 50 per cent of the capital costs of solid waste recovery systems and that private enterprise should be encouraged to come into the field. Responding to concern about reports of leaks of confidential medical data to the RCMP, OPP and other, the Ontario Government has appointed an Ontario Supreme Court Judge 'to head a provincial inquiry. However, the judge will have no power to investigate specific past abuses of con- fidentiality. His task will merely be to inquire into current procedures for the safe -guarding of sucli data: - The Attorney „General tables a legal -opinion which indicates that although OHIP employees and police of- ficials (and possibly others) probably have broken the confidentiality sections of the Health Insurance Act, no prosecutions should be carried out. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith has expressed the fear that some people might not go to doctors or hospitals if they believed that their medical history was readily _available to police investigators. "I wouldn't want the police to be held back from doing their duty", he said, "but I'm concerned that, for example, someone might not come for treatment as a habitual child abuser because of fear of the police." People ought to feel that their medical files are con- fidential unless police have a demonstrable need for in- formation and are "not just on a fishing expedition". This week I called upon the Government of Ontario to give urgent consideration to some means of alleviating the financial burden imposed on many Ontarians as a result of increases in expenses which exceed the A.I.B. guidelines. I pointed out that for people in rural Ontario, the cost of hydro has increased 50 per cent, which is a very serious matter when one considers the urgent necessity of hydro power in storm -tossed rural areas. Fuel and gas prices are also causing great con- cern. A short time ago, my colleague, Dick Ruston of Essex South urged that the Anti -Inflation Board review the profit structures of Union Gas and Consumer Gas, which last year had profit increases of 25 per cent and 15 per cent respectively. We would certainly endorse this idea, in view of the fact that the customers of these gas companies have their wages restricted by A.I.B. guidelines. Licence fees for com- mercial motor vehicles have recently been increased. For four -cylinder vehicles, there is a 30.4 per cent increase from $23 to $30; for five or six - cylinder vehicles, a 40.6 per n program this winter in Ontario cent increase, from $32 to $45; for eight -cylinder vehicles, a 50 per cent increase, from $40 to $60. Vehicles with engine displacement in excess of 6.5 litres ,(397 cubic ins.) being registered in Ontario for the first time after December 1 will carry a fee of $80. I realize that the A.I.B. guidelines are not, at present intended to cover all con- // -_.; ' - '..I'- , i PRICES SHOWN IN THIS AD GUARANTEED EFFECTIVE THROUGH SAT., DEC. 24th, 1977 l A&P Food Stores will be Al CLOSED TA MOND iks( December ,6th tingencies.
