The legislation will enable two or more municipal- ities to join together for plan- ning purposes under the broad umbrella of a provincial concept for their area, Municipalities already have the option to set up regional planning boards, but the legislation may go one step further and require areas picked by the. province to amalgamate for planning purposes. One thing the legislation will do is require that all stages of the planning process be conducted in public and with ample opportunity for comment by all those affected. Plans for regional government for Norfolk and Haldimand coun- ties were tabled inthe legislat- ure this week, Treasurer John White said he will require full discussion of these plans in public before implementation. It would appear that the Ontario Government wants to get out of the business of doing detailed planning for municipalities and Jottings by Jock from Queens Park get back to what it considers its prime responsibility, general planning for the province. A report, with recommendat- ions by the Ontario Council of Health, was tabled in the Legis- lature this week by health Min- ister Richard Potter. One recom- mendation would restrict period- ic health examinations for which the plan would pay to one every ten years for patients between the ages of 5 and 44. This will discourage yearly checkups which have been advocated by the medical profession as a means of detecting abnormal conditions which otherwise would not have shown up until it was too late. Another recom- mendation would limit doctors in their use of radiological and laboratory tests. Pap tests would be paid for only once in two years, though women have been urged by the medical profession to have them yearly. Certain screening procedures would not be paid for and unless the doctor already knows what is wrong, he is to be denied the most modern aids to diagnosis.

Only emer- gency patients would any longer be seen in out-patient depart- ments. Only one or two hospit- als in a community would be permitted to operate emergency departments after hours or on weekends. Staff would be cut. If a patient went to a specialist without referral from his gen- eral practioner, the plan would not pay. Some of the more bene ficial aspects of the recomm- endations are that they will check abuses of the plan. Hosp- ital beds will not be tied up with patients going through a diagnostic process that could be done outside hospital. Suff- icient nursing homes, chronic hospitals and other alternatives to active treatment hospitals are to be provided. There was some unusual act- ivity in the House the first of the week when Hamilton Mayor, Vic Copps, protested loudly from a visitors gallery after Treasurer John White announced that a two-tier government for Hamilton and Wentworth County would be implemented. Copps was ejected from the House by two policemen in an order from the speaker. The Ontario Hydro Commit- tee continued its hearings this week. In a document tabled as an exhibit, Ontario Hydro was told five weeks after it agreed to have Canada Square Corpor- ation build its new headquarters, by its senior financial analyst, that the agreement did not en- sure, as had been thought, that Hydro would share in any savings on construction costs. The cost reductions would be passed on to Ilydro in the form of lower rents only if the appraised value on completion adequately refl- ects that reduction. "Since the basis for appraisal is still subject to some doubt, there is no assur- ance that the saving will be passed on, any difference clear- ly being a surplus to Canada Square." The document was a confidential memorandum to Milan Nastich, Hydro's assistant general manager - finance, dated to 4th of December, 1972, nearly five weeks after the agreement with Canada Square was executed by Hydro. Under the government, Hydro could require the developer to retain a firm of cost control consultants to determine wheth- er the project cost less than $44, 400, 000. In the event the building cost less, 750/0 of the savings would accrue to Hydro in the form of a reduction in the proposedrent of $4. 84 per square foot. Mr. Lamb's analysis noted that the estimated construction cost of $34 per square foot "is slightly above an average value for office buil- dings today, and was the high- est of the proposals submitted by developers." Hydro Chair- man George Gathercole, quest- ioned about the projection of Commission architect Ken Candy's calculation that Canada Square's "net cash flow per year" on the project would be $192,2 83. " replied that this was a venturesome effort. "I look at it as being rather a shot in the dark, " he said. An Ontario Legislative Com- mittee has called for a mixture of laws and education to protect other people from snowmobilers, and to protect snowmobilers from themselves. The Commit- tee called for restrictions on their use on roads or by children, large numeral identification, and exemption of snowmobilers from the protection of the Petty Trespass Act, Most use of roads would be phased out by July 1975, with the Province providing alternative trails ori THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1973 public land. Altogether there are 47 recommendations which would impose many restrictions on snow machine owners and operators similar to those for a car.
