Urges
positive
approach
BY
JACK RIDDELL
M.P.P.
The Minister of the
Environment, Harry
Parrott, has fen dad the
practice of setting
pollution standards based
on "hopeful thinking"
rather than reali;,tic
possibilities, maintaining
that many control'orders
were imposed in the hope
of several things - "one
being that better
technology would be
developed."
He acknowledged that
sometimes the hoped-for
techniques were not
quickly available and less
stringent standards were
then ordered, and said, "I
don't think that's all that
bad...better we should set
a high level and hope to
stimulate them to do
something...I d n't
apologize for setting Iligh
goals." .
On the other hand,
Liberal Leader Stuart
Smith accused the
Minister of weakening
the Ministry's credibility
by setting meaningless
environmental stan-
dards, then backing
down. He asked the
Minister to explain why
an Abitibi paper com-
pany mill was originally
ordered to limit pollution
to 50 mg. per litre , of
waste dumped into the
Sturgeon River, then told
it could meet a standard
of 190 mg. per litre.
The Minister respon-
ded, "Fifty milligrams
was a .number that was
put there".
"We asked the Ontario
Research Foundation_
tell the public whether it
was possible to live up to
that order...It wasn't."
ELECTRICITY
RATES
Eddie Sargeant
(Liberal MP,P, Owen
Soured) has re -introduced
his Private Member's
Bill on electricity rates.
This -Bill incorporates the
"Lifeline" idea (as it's
known in jurisdictions
where it's now in use),
which provides ,.a low,
fixed-price for the
amount of electricity
used by each household.
Beyond that basic
amount, the ' rates per
kilowatt hour • move
progressively higher: In
other words, the more
you use, the more .you
pay.
It is to be hoped that
this Bill will receive
approval', particularly if
the current Ministry
review of hydro rates
does not support such a
change in provincial rate
structure.
RACIAL BIAS
The Provincial
Government has created
a separate race relations'
division within the
Human Rights Com-
mission to combat racial
bias and discrimination
in Ontario.
"As recent events have
shown, we cannot, be
complacent about the
imperative to treat
visible minorities, who
form such an important
part of our social fabric,
with . fairness and
equity", said the Minister
of Labour, Dr. Robert
Elgie, who is responsible
for the Commission.
The government has
also established a special
cabinet committee on
racism, comprising the
Attorney -General, the
Minister of Education
-and the Minister of,
Culture and Recreation.
In this connection, the
new Solicitor -General's
Task Force on racial and
ethnic implications of
police hiring, training
and promotion won't
arrive at any "Mickey
Mouse package deal"
solutions when it reports
in June, according to its
chairman, Reva Ger-
stein, a Toronto
psychologist.
She stated .that many
people think police of-
ficers can be' cured of
prejudice through audio-
visual aids and other
devices. Her approach is
to try to make individuals
understand the roots of
their own prejudices and
