Report from Queen's Pad( By Murray Elston, MLA According to the provin- cial treasurer, the 14.75 per cent fee hike for doctors in the Ontario Health In- surance Plan could cost every OHIP-payer an extra $20' a year in premiums, if passed on to the public. However, he refused to say whether the fee hike, which is expected to add about $170 million to this year's provin- cial $4.21 billion health bill, will be covered fully or partially by a premium in- crease.

NAKINA FOREST FIRE The premier says his government would be setting itself up as a target for public criticism if it paid the legal bills incurred by the families of five victims of a 1979 fire set by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Although the government accepts liability for the deaths, if takes no respon- sibility for the families' decision to hire lawyers to represent them at a long inquest into the fire last year. INTEREST RATES The government rejected a Liberal motion proposed by •Jack Riddell (Huron -Middle- sex) for an emergency debate on high interest rates and the plight of Ontario farmers. He had called for debate because the province is at the "crossroads of a crisis for the farmers" due to escalating interest rates which ..`are forcing many farmers to lose their busi- nesses and pushing them into bankruptcy".

Cancellation of Singtime ended what was thought to be the longest -running religious, program on Can- adian networks. It began in January 1958 over CKNX- TV. The station indicated that heavy subsidizations- were the reason for its decision.
