This week brought to a close
the end -of -the -session ritual
of 15 hour days. In the last 10
days 28 Government Bills were
introduced, several carrying an
element of urgency. A total
of 47 pieces of proposed legis-
lation were introduced during
March and April with about
70 during May and the first
three weeks of June. The last
Bill to be debated before, the
end of the session was the Work-
men's Compensation 13111.
Revenue Minister Arthur
Meen informed the Legislature
that consideration is being
given to the centralizing the
administration of its new 5050
Land Speculation Tax. He is
looking at such centres as
Thunder Bay, North Bay, Wind-
sor, London, Hamilton and
Ottawa to handle tax clearances,
The Ministry of Revenue has
been burdened with a heavy
workload, providing a lot of
lien clearance certificates when
such were not in fact required,
according to Arthur Meen.
Until now the Province has been
accepting affidavits from
people dealing with property
values but within two weeks it
will be in a position to use
assessment data to run its own
checks on values, Mr. Meen
said.
A Bill entitled the Family Law
Reform Act was presented in
the Legislature by Attorney
General Robert Welch. If passed
this Act would abolish many
of the laws that are patronising
to women and often unfair to
married men. Husbands and
wives should be treated as ind-
ividuals, the Act states. The
fact that two people are marr-
ied should not affect their
right to sue each other in court,
get in and out of debt, sign
contracts and act as a guardian
or next friend to a child in a
lawsuit. As the law now stand
spouses may riot sue each other
in court. Recognizing a married
woman as an individual in her
own right will make her eligible
to sign contracts and get credit
on her own. It will also make
her liable for any damages
arising out of a breach of cont-
ract. The Bill would do away
with inequalities in the area of
law called resulting trust.
Currently if a wife puts property
in her husband's name, the law
presumes she is giving it to him
to hold in trust for her. The new
Act says that the law will no
longer presume that a woman

Having introduced a private
Members' 13111 last year and
again this session to improve
the safety of children travelling
to and from school by bus, I am
pleased to report that the
Minister of Transportation and
Communications, has accepted
some of the recommendations
and that pressure is gently being
applied by the Ontario Govern-
ment on manufacturers to build
better school buses. Some of
the design improvements, the
Minister has ip mind for the
utilitarian school buses, are to
include higher seat backs to
prevent whiplash injuries in
accidents and padding protect-
ion on the backs of seats to min-
imize head injuries.
Legislation is likely in the
fall to change the law that req-
uires other vehicles to stop when
a school bus is stopped with red
warning fights flashing on roads
where the speed limit is more
than 35 miles an hour. The
change will require other
vehicles to stop regardless of
the speed limit. Another recom-
mendation which we made and
which the Minister will consider
is that the yellow and black
stripes be made the mandatory
identification for all school
buses. We recommend that the
colours be changed when they
are no longer used as schoolbuses
so that children do not mistake
the identity of a schoolbus
while waiting patiently on the
side of the road for the bus to
transport them to school.
Ontario's Guaranteed Income
plan for the elderly will come
into effect July 1, but cheques
will not be mailed until mid
July. The bill which will guar-
antee an income of $260,67 a
month for every person over the
age of 65 as well as for the
blind and the disabled, receiv-
ed final reading in rhe Legisl-
ature this week. Under the plan
called the Guaranteed Annual
Income System the Province
will add up to $25.61 a month
to Federal Benefits in order to
bring the minimum income
for a pensioner to $260.67 a
month. The Provincial benefits
will be paid in mid -month to
stagger a pensioner's income
since Federal benefits are paid
in the beginning of the month.
The Blind and the disabled will
receive their supplement at the
end of each month starting in
July along with their regular
Fancily Benefits payments.
It has been my usual custom
to terminate this article at the
end of the session but with the
approval of the news media staff
I will be pleased to continue
this article during the summer
recess. I would hope to inform
the readers of the various prog-
rams that are available to there
through the various Government
Ministries and I will also give
a brief resume of the reports and
ministerial statements as they
cross my desk.
