According to the Minister the provincial library service has been streamlined and focal representation on the Boards expanded. VOTER INFLUENCE CONTROVERSY Quoting from an internal memorandum, copies of which were released to the media, .Liberal Leader David Peterson has accused the owner of an Eastern Ontario food company of breaching the Criminal Code by attempting to influence his employees to vote for the Conservative candidate in a by-elec- tion last December. The memorandum was apparently sent to employees of Ault Foods Ltd in Winchester, which had received a $500,000 grant from the, government just prior to the by-election. The Iter battered women grant -was announced on Dec. 13, 1983, two days before the by-election in Stormont•Dun- das-Glengarry won by the Tories. David Peterson called upon the Solicitor - General to refer the matter to the Ontario Provincial Police for investigation, and told the Legislature that the memo to the Ault employees clearly indicated a case of "shameless, bare -faced and transparent vote -buying". He also called upon the Government to table in the House all correspondence with respect to the grant. He read an excerpt from the company memorandum which said "without our close connection to the present Ontario Government, this project and the extra employment it means would not be possible. I hope you •will take this into consideration on Thursday and lend your support to Noble Villeneuve and the Govern- ment that made this possible." The Attorney General .expressed the view that there would not be an investigation because the memorandum did not indicate any wrongdoing. WOMEN The long campaign by women's groups and the Opposition at Queen's Park on behalf of battered women is at last seeing some results. Families across rural Ontario are being asked by the Minister of Community and Social Services to. open their homes to give temporary shelter to victims of family violence. , This is part of a $10 million plan to set up a network of "safe homes" and special hotlines to battered women to get help rapidly. The Minister said the new plan is aimed at sparing women and children "the pain and tragedy" of abuse at home. amilies which agree to "open their homes on an emergency basis to women and children who need a safe place to stay in a hurry" will get special funding from Queen's Park, according to the Minister. It is the government's intention to expand the number of shelters in the province - at present 57 - by opening 12 new centres and to - increase funding for six new transition houses already planned by women's groups. In addition, the Ministry plans to assist in the opening of two shelters for immigrant women in the ethno-cultural communities of Metro Toronto, in co-operation with local churches. However, Ministry officials declined to Five further details of this plan. Small. isolated municipalities will receive funding for four new centres with eight to 10 beds for 'victims of family violence. Hotlines will be opened to give battered women immediate help, and the,province will finance four pilot projects offering "24 hour local or area telephone crisis services" to direct battered women to the nearest shelters.
