Winners were: high lady, Audrey Thompson Province cuts BY JACK RIDDELL, M.P.P. UNCONDITIONAL GRANTS One year ago, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing released a proposal to change the formula for calculating Uncondi- tional Grants from per capita method to one based upon households The discussion paper noted "with a household grant, the municipalities with a high ratio of residents per household would tend to, lose while municipalities with a low ratio would tend to win." The Government has now announced that it is, in effect, moving to such a system, despite its many denials in recent months, ppar1ccularly during the Stormont -Dundas. Glengarry by-election. At the time of the original "discussion paper" announcement, the Minister indi- cated that he wanted a response from the Association of Municipalities' of Ontario no later than June 1983 - a deadline which prevented the AMO from fully consulting with member municipalities. The AMO struck a technical sub -committee to analyze the proposal and to respond to it within the designated three-month time limit. While the Minister maintained that the municipalities "never really complained", many of them felt that the deadline was an 'attempt to push through changes well in advance of a provincial election. Suspicions abotrt the government's intentions were exacerbated by the fact that the Municipal Finance Branch's print-out of the financial impact analysis of the government's propo- sal was not distributed to municipalities. In June 1983, the AMO issued a counter proposal which stated that a grant system based solely on a household formula was unacceptable. Northeastern Ontario Mayors also drafted their own separate proposal which urged"that no municipality should be a loser. August, 1983 save the Minister agreeing to meet with Kirklapd Lake Council to discuss the government proposal, in_the light of Increasing concern in the North. He accused the Council of "creating hysteria in the community", and stated in a letter to the Mayor "I appreciate that you recognize the difficulty of implementing any changes without having some winners and losers in the process." During the S.D.G. by-election campaign, Liberals warned that municipaiities' across the province would be compelled to raise taxes or reduce essential services as a "Tory master plan to cut unconditional grants. The Minister categorically 'denied there was a government policy to change the present method of determining provincial funding , to • municipalities, catling Liberal statements,. "completely incorrect". He emphasized that no municipality would "'suffer hardship",, and said 'I can quite emphatically State that we will not now nor 'eveYuse such a formula, and we deal with many, we never allow anyone to suffer. I assure you no municipafities will be hurt". • Catttpaiggmg iii rile 5.15,G. by-election, Premier Davis stated that Liberal claims about a plate to cat grants were a fabrication. "Categbricaily unequivocally, without hesi- tation use any adjective you want, it's just not true", he said. meeting aid banquet low, Hazel Reid; men's high, Les, Reid; low,' Remember the old fashioned pancake', Geo.

The Conservatives even issued a notice with pictures of the Tory candidate and the Premier, quoting the Minister as saying there was "absolutely no plan to cut $rants to municipalities", quoting the Premier as saying "It is just not true", "It just won't happen." Just two months after the by-election in which Liberal charges were categorically denied, the province announced that it is indeed moving to a household grant system. 1lpwever, in an attempt to hide the impact of the inevitable losses, a so-called "revenue guarantee" is being provided. This one-year guarantee means that. while now under the household formula, every munpicipality in 1984 will be guaran- teed an inease of at least 2 d• .5 per cent more than was received in Unconditional Grants in 1983. The true impact of the new system,will be felt in 1985, after a provincial election. The fact is that at least 50 per cent of Ontario municipalities will not even receive an amount equivalent to the anticipated increase' in the rate of inflation for fiscal 1984. More importantly, the government — which maintained that our concerns with regard to the Impact of the household formula were unfounded because they were based on a "discussion paper" or "academ- ic exercise' is now implementing a policy which they disowned two months ago during the S.D.G. by-election, As a consequence of the formula change, as we pointed out last fall, will be significant losses to many municipalities in Ontario, particularly in fiscal 1985, unless the Minister is prepared to' extend further revenue guarantees. The Minister owes the municipalities a clear explanation of his intentions. Ag. Society discuss moving fair location A meeting of the Brussels Agt. Society was held on Feb. 8.
