The Minister of Transportat- ion and Communication introd- uced a Bill entitled, An Act to amend the Highway Traffic Act. This Bill deals with nine subjects of legislation four of which are of significant import- ance to the motoring public of this Province. They are amend- ments relating to the operation of school buses, mandatory driv' ing licence suspensions of con- viction under the criminal code for offences implying the oper- ation of a motor vehicle, dele- gation of powers to municipal- ities and the regulation of tnoto. assisted bicycles. The school bus provisions are amended to require the school bus stopping law to apply to all highways regardless of speed limit. Under these provisinns there is an onus on the school bus driver to activate the signals as prescribed. Motorists follow- ing a school bus must stop whenever school bus signal lights are flashing and motorist meeting the bus must similarly stop except when on a highway divided by a physical barrier or an unpaved strip of ground. These provisions also prohibit the use of chrome yellow paint on buses other than school buses. The driver licence suspension provisions prescribe a mandat- ory three month suspension for all first offences and a manda- tory six months suspension for every subsequent conviction within a five year period. In furtherance to the policy of delegating greater powers to the inunicipalities the Bill contains provisions which will eliminate the need for approval by the Ivlinister of Municipal by-laws regulating and govern- ing traffic with the exception of those relating to connecting links in the installation of traffic lights. Provision is made for by-laws to be filed by the Ministry and for the repeal of by-laws which are inconsistent with the Highway Traffic Act. An amendment providing a reduction from 50T/0 to 2010 in Ontario's Land Speculation Tax was given third reading in the Legislature. Revenue Minister, Arthur Meen, said the tax would lose its immediate irnpact by being only 205 of the amount of speculative gains rather than a very substantial healthy and significant 50T/o. The amendment rose out of the Federal Government's refusal to allow the Provincial tax for Federal Income Tax purposes. Those who have paid the full 50T/o tax will receive refunds plus 7% interest.
