This pro- gram would extend expiring collective agreements by one year. and would limit the wage increase to 5 per cent, or roll back increases in the second year of existing con- tracts. 1t would also ban strikes by public and "para - public workers for the dura- tion. Provincially regulated prices are to be reviewed by a Cabinet Committee on Ad- ministered Prices. which would have the power to reduce or delay them. The Provincial Treasurer, Frank Miller, told the Legi- slature that the program is not an attack on the public sector, but is an attempt to avoid cutbacks and layoffs in this sector while lightening ilei1 the burden of government on the economy. In addition, an Inflation Restraint Board is to be established to administer the wage restraint and admini- stered prices program and to monitor wage and price in- creases in the public sector. Covered by the restraint program are provincial. mun- icipal. agency, board, com- mission, university , and school board workers; Brew- ers Retail prices for beer: hospital and nursing home workers. including physi• cians on salary at hospitals, ambulance .service drivers, group home workers; Crown Corporation employees; tui- tion fees; TTC workers. elect- ed officials and judges; em- ployees of charitable organi- zations funded by the pro- vince such as the Children's Aid Society. Also to be controlled are hydro and natural gas rates: Blue Cross and Green Shield insurance premiums.
