This week in the Legislature I introduced mill, 'lhe Agrlcu tural Investment Disclosure Act, 1979. The purpose of the Bill is to establish a means off ascertaining the nature and extent of non- resident ownership of, agricultural land in Ontario. The Bill requires every non-resident person, as defined in the' Act, to submit a report to the Minister of Agriculture and Food concerning each purchase o'f agricultural land. The Bill also requires land registrars in Ontario to inform the Minister about every conveyance of agricultural land registered by the land registrar that bears an affidavit -indicating that the transferee is a non- resident person. The Minister must report to the Legislative Assembly on an annual basis concerning the nature and extent of non- resident ownership of agricultural land and the report is then referred to a standing committee of the Assembly for con- sideration. PLANNING ACT CHANGES A White Paper outlining sweeping changes in the Planning Act would give the Ontario Municipal Board the final say in most planning ' matters, and prevent appeals to the Cabinet except in matter`s. of wider provincial in • - terest. The paper released by .Housing Minister Claude Bennett, this week "generally would give local governments riLOre power to deal with their own planning. But Ontario promised detailed "regulations, policy circulars and planning guidelines" which it will expect municipalities and the OMB to use in bylaws and' appeals. Under the changes, the Housing Minister would decide what appeals would be allowed. POLLS The Opposition Parties have tried for sometime to.obtain the findings of polls done by ministries, which they fear the governing Conservatives will use at election time to further the party cause even --though the cost was ,borne by the public. The Ontario Government spent more than $434,000 in public money last year to find out what the public thinks of some of its programs. In a written answer tabled in the Legislature this week, to a question by Liberal Patrick Reid (Rainy River), Management ' Board Chairman George • McCague refused to release results of the polls that were done. He said they are "working documents for the development of policy, and it is not the practice of the Government to release material of this nature." He did however, say what polls were done, and what they cost taxpayers. From April 1, 1978 until April 1, 1979, the following polls were taken for internal use of ministries: Consumer and Com- mercial Relations paid Market Facts, of Canada Ltd. $45,000 to find out public attitudes to cen- sorship, gambling and liquor policy, all con- troversial issues during the past year. The Education Ministry paid Canadian Gallup Poll Ltd. $23,280 to study public attitudes toward schools, "in- cluding majpr concerns, interest in 'adult education, awareness of, and opinionS on, education finances."
