Riddell M.P.P. When the non-confidence vote on the Throne Speech was taken this week I was not present in the House. I boycotted the vote by absenting myself from the House, as I considered it the best way of showing my total displeasure with the Government's restraint program without favouring an unnecessary election now. Despite strong) feeli ng in the Huron-Middlesex iding that the Gbvernment should. be brought down, I could- not in good conscience vote for an election now. An election now could have resulted in a majority win for Premier William Davis and a clear mandate for him to continue his inhumane and insensitive restraint program., Another reason for m y decision not to vote againSt the Govern- ment was the fact that closure of the Clinton Hospital is still under active consideration by the Premier and the Acting Minister of Health and I did not want in any way to affect the deciSion which . the present government will make on this most iniportant, matter. We have fought valiantly to keep our hospitals and I did not want to jeopardize our efforts at • this point in time. We in Huron-Middlesex view the Government's restraint program as having little regard for its humanri and social. consequences, as part of the Government's program included - the closure of the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital and the announced closing of the Clinton Hospital. It was apparent that the majority of the Ontario electorate did not think that an election was necessary at this time as it has been barely six months since the last, election. People well realize the need for restraint at this tin and unless the communities in which they live have been • victimized by such programs as hospital closures, they are prepared to , endorse the Government's stand againit inflation. Most people feel that a minority government should, be given sufficient,' time and opportunity to establish its' worthiness to govern. Apart from giving a minority government a chance to work, people are very cognizant of the costs involved in running an election and did not relish spending another ten million dollars on an election that would result in very little change. Deficit Treasurer McKeough unveiled a $12.5 billion budget, the deficit projected to be $1.2 billion while at the same time keeping spending growth to 10.4% Introducing the budget Mr. McKeough caid that reducing the rate of inflation remains the number one • objective ' for economic policy in 1976, and controls will be necessary until Canada's cost and price perfor- mance is brought back into line - with that of our trading partners, particularly the United States. The -following are some areas affected by the budget. The- Ministry of Housing budget includes a new initiative, the downtown revitalization pro- gram.-ft-also extends for one year the OHAP incentive • grants and loans o municipalities to increase the supply of serviced land. The 1976 budget of the Ministry of the Attorney General provides for the appointment of 46 additional judges and justices of the peace. Legislation will be introduced changing the GAINS residency criteria, which is presently 5 years in Canada. As 'of April 7, 1976, • new applicants for GAINS must meet the same 10 year residency criteria that is required for federal OAS and GIS benefits. By the end -of 1976-1977 'the complement of 'civil servants will be reduced to 66,537, a reduction of more than 4,200 from the- 1974 level. The 1976 estimates provide for an increase of $255 million in grants to municipalities and school boards , a growth of 7.8%. The Treasurer, said to re-establish a better bt3ance between, the charges for health services and the ,cost of these , services, he proposed to increase OHIP premiums by $5.00 per month single and $10.00. per month family. As of May 1st, 1976, the charges for ,semi private accommodation in hospitals will be increased to $11.00 per day and for private rooms $400 per day. • ective - immediately OHIP Premium free assistance will be broaden. Free coverage will be • extended to single persons having taxable income of $1,543 or less and families having taxable income- 6f $2,000 or less. Half- premium rates will be available to single persons having • taxable income • between $1,534 and $2,000 and to, families having taxable incomes between $2,000 and $3,000. . Prices Up Effective April 200976, there will be an increase of 30 -cents on a 25 ounce bottle of spirits and 15 cents, on a case of 24 bottles of beer. Cigarettes will be increased by 5c per package, effective immediately and insurance premiums tax has b'een increased from 2% to 3%. Also effective with the fiscal year's ending April 6, 1976, the 12% rate of tax for corporations, will be reduced to' 9% on income eligible for -the federal small business deducti6n. Mr. McKeough in conclusion' said that his budget is a declaration of confidence, confidence in the economy of the Province, in fhe Ontario's workers, its farmers,, and its enterprises and institutions. .
