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.
