MPP Huron -Middlesex
A legal drinking age of 19,
increased fines for under-
age drinking and tougher
penalties for drinking
drivers were announced in
the Legislature this week by
the Honourable Larry
Grossman, Minister of
Consumer and Commercial
Relations.
These measures are part
of a legislative package and
will be introduced in the fall.
If passed it would
— Raise the legal drinking
age from 18 to 19 effective
September 1.
— Increase maximum
fines to $10,000 from $2,000
for drinking under age and
for serving alcoholic
beverages to those under
age, and establish a $500
minimum fine.
- Eliminate the
requirement of a sit-down
meal with a Sunday drink.
Allow Liquor Control
Board outlets to remain open
on election days.
— Exempt airlines from
the normal limitations on
hours during which alcoholic
beverages may be served.
The new measures on
drinking and driving an-
nounced by the Minister
include -
- More portable screening
devices in patrol cars.
— A mandatory three-year
Face stiffer drinking fines
licence suspension for a third
drinking and driving con
viction.
— A 24 hour on-the-spo
suspension for motorists
where the portable screening
device 'has indicated a
degree of impairment suf-
ficient to make the motorist
a risk, although not legally
impaired.
Other meaures proposed
by the Minister
— An Education program
for the schools and an ad-
vertising campaign on
alcohol moderation.
— Amendments making it
illegal to carry open bottles
or glasses of Liquor in public
places.
— Increased promotion of
the photo identification
cards provided by the
Minister of Consumer and
Commercial Relations as
proof that an applicant is old
enough to drink. In addition,
driver's licences with
photographs are being in-
troduced.
— Obligation of liquor
licence holders to request
identification from anyone
who might be under age, as
well as the increased fines
for serving to and con-
sumption by under -age
people.
The Minister said the
penalties currently being
imposed are often too low to
warrant police action or to
deter illegal behaviour.
— Municipalities will be
given the right to pass by-
laws making possession of
alcohol illegal in specific
parks, arenas or stadiums
controlled by the t
municipalities. $
A grandfather clause in
the bill will enable those
turning 18 before Septemb
- 1, to legally consu
alcohol,
t Dr, Stuart Smit
Opposition Leader, said th
he would have preferred
see the Government attem
an education campai
against alcohol abuse.
that didn't work. we wou
raise the legal drinking a
as a last resort,"he said.
Agriculture and Foo
Minister Bill Newman h
announced a new asparag
marketing plan for the 19
season, The new plan wi
include all asparagu
producers, allow fo
collection of licence fees o
an acreage basis, and enabl
the board to determine th
minimum price fo
asparagus for processing
Mr. Newman said that th
Farm Products Marketin
Board conducted an ex
pression of opinion o
asparagus producers an
75.5 percent of those votin
supported the proposal fo
changes in the marketing
plan. Under the new
marketing plan, an industry
advisory committee o
processors and producers

review asparagus
requirements and market
conditions before the board
established the price to
processors.
The Farm Products
Marketing Board, at the
request of the Asparagus
Board will establish a
licence fee of $25 per acre for
1978. The maximum fee
approved by the producers in

35 per acre.

told a press conference that,
he and the Ontario Premier
should meet at least once a
year.
His own conclusion would
be that the two provinces can
continue their close
association even if Quebec
leaves Canada — "Whatever
the future may hold, they
will continue to be neigh-
bours," he said of Ontario
and Quebec.
There has been con-
siderable debate in recent
weeks about a Toronto
tabloid "Strike", which has
received a number of grants
from the Provincial_
Government — from the
Ontario Arts Council and
Wintario Funds. Liberal
Leader Stuart Smith
charged that the Minister of
Culture and Recreation,
Robert Welch, gave personal
approval.
The tabloid is owned by
Kensington Art Association,
and has published pictures of
bullet -riddled bodies, ad-
vocating terrorism and
stating that, it "supports leg
shooting knee capping to
f accelerate the demise of the
old system". The Minister
has now backtracked from
earlier statements that the
tabloid had no connection
with the Art Association, and
has said that a cheque for a
further grant will be blocked
until "a full review", is run
on the group.
He conceded in . the
Legislature that "there are
similarities in some of the
names" of the directors of
the association and the
tabloid. Four of the seven
directors of the association
are also listed on the
tabloid's editorial board,
including the president and
vice-president.
