M.P.P. HURON - BRUCE
Ontario's minimum wage will
rise from $2 to $2.25 an hour from
October 1st, announced this .week
by Labour Minister John MacBeth.
The minimum rate for construc-
tion workers will go up at the
same time from $2.25 to $2.50 an
hour.
The rate for student workers,
working not more than 28 hours
a week or during school holidays,
will rise from $1.65 to $1.90 an
hour after October ht.
The 'leather rate for workers
in the first month of employment
will go up from $1.90 to $2.15
an hour.
Mr. MacBeth said that he could
not estimate the number of work-
ers in the Province who are being
paid the minimum, but felt it
was something over 150,000.
An Ontario Hydro estimate that
oil for thermal generating plants
will cost more than $11 a barrel
by 1979 may be conservative.,
Energy Minister Darcy McKeough
said this week.
Answering questions in the Legis-
lature Mr. McKeough said the
hydro cost projection made at an
Ontario Energy Board hearing a few
days ago may be Tow in light of
present inflationary trends:
The switch from coal to oil,_ on
several Hydro generating plants, is
going to cost Hydro an extra 50
million by 1979. because of these
oil price increases.
The Provincial Government
came under harsh opposition this
week following release of a report
showing that 26 Ontario .firms emit
unsafe amounts of lead.
William Newman, Minister of
the Environment, was askecl. why
the Government had not taken ac -
tion to close the major polluters
in face of clear evidence of exces-
sive emissions.
Mr. Newman replied tha-t most
of the companies mentioned in the
report are under abatement con-
trol programmes.
The reportshowed that soil
around 26 of the 45 firms had
readings above the safe level of
600 parts per million -of soil.
A. Bill to continue the freeze on
Municipal assessments for tax pur-
poses for another two years has
received first reading in the Legis-
lature.
Revenue Minister Arthur Meen
said that spiralling real estate
prices have made it impossible to
reassess Ontario properties at their
current market value.
The Province is to switch to
assessments based on current
market value in 197.0 for taxes
that will be levied on
properties in 1977.
May and June are the most pop-
ular months for visits to the Parlia-
ment Buildings by students. These
past few weeks I have been pleas-
ed to see students from the Grey
Township Central School, Howick
Central School and the Turnberry
Central School.
