The Ontario Legislature will
reconvene on Tuesday, October
26th, and already every indica-
tion points to a busy and event-
ful session. As you are aware,
,the matter of government dos-
ing of hospitals in the Province
will be debated once more, and
this Government policy has
been strenuously opposed by
the general public and opposi-
tion members. The Farm In-'
come Stabilization Bill will
prove another contentious issue
and earlier this year the plan
initially put forward by the
Government was defeated in
the House and led to a non-
confidence debate. Public con-
cern about inflation and its
effect on our daily lives will
certainly be a major issue once
again, and with the onset of
winter and the recently an-
nounced increased hydro costs
the energy problem will also be
a matter of great concern.
It is anticipated that the
Government will introduce most
of its proposed new .legisla-
tion on opening day, and we
already -have on the order
paper bills on corporate tax,
succession duty, credit unions,
and personal property security.
There will also probably be a
number of private members
bills proposed during this
session.
One of the first items slated
for debate is the report of the
Morrow Committee , on the
Camp Commissions recommen-.
dations on which I reported to
you some weeks ago. The re-
port of the Select Committee
Citizens News, October 27, 1976 -Page 7
Busy session expected for legislature
on the bulk rates of Ontario
Hydro is also to be discussed
as are reports from two other
Select Committees of the
Legislature—one on highway
safety and the other on truck-
ing in the province.
A major debate on land use
in Ontario is expected. Many
people have been concerned
about the necessity for firm
guide lines to prevent short
sighted developments which
take valuable farm land out of
production, encourage unneces-
sary urban sprawl and destroy
our natural resources, encour-
age unnecessary urban sprawl
and destroy our natural re-
sources, with little considera-
tion of the possibility that we
might simultaneously improve
living and working conditions
for the people of Ontario with-
out causing irreversible damage
to our environment. At the
same time we must protect the
ownership rights of our farmers
and other citizens whose land is
a major part of their material
investment.
The supplementary estimates
of the Provincial Ombudsman
are to be debated as well as the
report on land deals in the
Pickering area in connection
with the now cancelled (at least
postponed) second Toronto air-
port.
A debate on the constitution
is also anticipated and there
seems every liklihood that
there will be a debate on con-
fidence in the Government.
Also, a number of members
have not yet made their con-
tribution to the Debate on the
Budget. Of course it is now
more than six months since the
Treasurer brought down his
Budget but 'The Budget
Debate" provides an excellent
opportunity for M.P.P.'s to
bring to the attention of the
Government and Legislature
their views and concerns about
Government policy and matters
which are of importance to the
Proper cooking secret
to good brussels sprouts
Top quality Ontario Brussel
sprouts will be in good supply
from now until the end of
November. "When you cook
Brussels sprouts, drop them
into lots of rapidly boiling
water; keep the water boiling,
leave uncovered and cook
quickly just until tender -crisp."
This advice comes from the
food specialists at the Ontario
Food Council, Ministry of
Agriculture and Food. These
recommendations, if followed,
will give a vegetable of the
best color, the best flavor, and
as high a level of nutrients
as possible.
The pigment G,hlorophyll is
what .makes Brussels sprouts
green if you drnp the vege-
tables --into boiling water, the
color will intensify. Watch it.
The green color will seem to
surface as though it had been
shocked by the hot bath.
If in error you cover the
Brussels sprouts at this point,
the naturally occurring organic
acids which are released into
cooking water will be trapped.
The vegetable will then cook
in an acid medium, and acid
changes chlorophyll—turning
the green pigment an unpleas-
ant olive-green color. By leav-
ing the lid off, the acid will
escape and the bright green
will remain.
Cooking Brussels sprouts in
lots of water dilutes those
naturally occurring acids mak-
ing the water less "acid", thus
helping to retain the color.
Be careful not to overcook
Brussels sprouts. Overcooking
causes excessive loss of valu-
able nutrients, especially Vita-
miri C, of which Brussels
sprouts are an excellent source.

people in the riding and in the
province generally.
On November llth, most
members of the Legislature
will 'return to their ridings to
participate in Remembrance
Day services. This past year
• Legion Branches throughout the
country have been commemor-
ating the 50th anniversary of
the Royal Canadian Legion. I
am sure most of you- are well
aware that our Legions play
an important role in society to-
day as they have always done
over the past fifty years. Natur-
ally the Legion is primarily
concerned with veterans and
their families. This does not
mean that its members are
constantly pre -occupied "look-
ing over their shoulders" so to
speak. They are actively and
enthusiastically committed to
improving the present day
circumstances of those who are
experiencing financial or other
difficulties, and helping people
to achieve fulfillment and
success.
The Legion gives assistance
to veterans and their families
in obtaining pensions and
benefits. The organization has
sponsored low rental housing
projects which have filled a
great need at a time when
Ontario's people have been
faced with housing shortages
and crippling high rents. Legion
bursaries, public speaking con-
tests, and Remembrance Day
literary competition provide
inspiration and encouragement
to students at the elementary
and secondary school levels,
and each year something like
20,000 young people partici-
pate in Legion track and field
events culminating in a provin-
cial championship.
I hope many of you will join
with me on Remembrance Day
in paying tribute not only to
those, who at great personal
sacrifice defended our way of
life against the force of war,
but also to Legion members
who in times of peace continue
to play an important role in
preserving that way of life
which they consider to be every
Canadian's birthright.
