plan one of protection rather than
insurance, and 'on a voluntary
and contributory basis with the
government negotiating with
legally constituted farm
spokesmen'. Our amendment
would also insist the Bill be
re introduced no later than
October 31St of this year.
"The reasoned amendment to
the legislation supported by the
NDP and ourselves would
therefore read `That 'Bill 96, An
Act t especting Farm Income
Stabilization, be not read a
second time but be referred back
to the Government to halve
incorporated therein principles of
a Farm Income Protection Plan
which, would be open to the
producers of all farm products on
a voluntary and contributory basis
with the Government negotiating
with legally constituted • farm
spokesmen and with assurance
that the Government provide a,'
, public forum for full , discussion
with the farm community before
re-introduction of the Bill and that
the Bill be re-introduced no later
than October 31, 1976.'
"Had the Government made an
honest attempt to bring in a form
of Farm° Income Stabilization
which would have been effective
in giving our farmers a degree of
income prcitection, we would not
have hesitated to give. it our
approval. Hopefully, amended
legislation' will be introduced in
the fall which will meet the needs ,
of the farmers, and win the
support of all three parties in the
Legislature:"

Government will look into the
possibility of some adjustment
away from monthly , milk
production quotas. The
government will examine, again
without commitment. production
between the 95 million hundred
weights of milk required for the
domestic market and the 100.5
million hundred weights for Total
market Share Quota. Producers
currently are paying an $8.60 per
hundred weight levy on their
shak of production above 'the 95
million hundred weight. Mr,
Whelan emphasized that the last
two points were promises to look

commitments to action on the part
of the government.
The Government will decide in
the next few weeks how to handle
a legiSlative diretive to reintro-

October. This directive came from
a combined vote by New

Health to seek an end to the
boards' dispute with public health
nurses. Several hundred nurses
booed and jeered when she said
she couldn't make any promises,
although she would try to
persuade boards to submit to
voluntary arbitration. About
1,100 nurses, members of the
Ontario Nurses Association have
been on strike or locked out at
some 26 health, units in a
week-long protest. Nurses'
' Association represesntataive met
with Labour and Health Ministers
privataly, but came away bitter
and disappointed. Annual
salaries for public health nurses
range from about '$9,000 to
$12,000 compared with hospital
nurses who make between
$18300 and $15*,780, Liberal
Leaders,, Stuart Smith told the
Legislature the government
should - introduce legislation
which would force the health
boards to bargain on a province-
wide basis and accept compulsory
arbitration.
James Bullgrook, Liberal MPP
(Sarnia), and the...Party's Labour
Critic has introduced nine Private
Members' "Bills amending the
.Ontario Labour Relations Act.
Amont the proposals are tighter
definitions 'of such terms as
lockout and supervisory
personnel and the elimination of
employee anti-union petitions as
a consideration in unidn .Certifi.-
•ction hearaings.'One bill provides
for reopt. 'ling of collective
agreements in the event of
significant technological change.
Another is aimed at minimizing
the number of court appeals of
arbitrator's • , awards. The
amendments also provide a
definition of professional strike-
breakers as well as' prohibiting'
their use. They would make it
more difficult for an employer to
obtain ans order stopping a strike,
and easier for a union to obtain a
first collective agreement
following certification.
The Government's Bill to
provide a warranty to buyers of
new homes in Ontario was given
approval in principle in the
Legislature. ' This bill would
provide for protedtion against
poor workmanship of poor
materials for one year and major
structural defects for five years.
The Minister of Consumer and
Jack Riddell, Liberal MPP
(Huron. Middlesex) has issued a
statement concerning • the
amendment to the Farm, Income
Stabilization Bill which he had
proposed as his Party's
. Agriculture Critic.. •
"The Opposition' Parties
combined to vote against the
Government's farm income
stabilization legislation, and I
think it :is important to make it
quite clear that, in so doing, it is
our• firm intention to force, the
a Government to bring in Bill
which will " really ..aSSISt - the'
farming community", said Mr.
Riddell. 96 is. totally
inadequate in its present form,
and is little • more than token
legislation - a rather empty
gesture to the farmers of Ontario,
"For this reason, I proposed -
and Murray Gaimt of. Huron-
Bruce seconded - an amendment
to Bill 96, which would make the
Commercial Relations told the
Legislature that a non-profit
corporation of builders,
consumers, mortgage lenders and
government will administer a
fund, which would be used to pay
for any repairs. Builders will
contribute to the fund at a fixed
rate for each house placed on the
market. Although all three parties
supported the Bill, some
amendments will be sought when
it is debated in Committee.
A Consumer Products
Warranty Bill has also been
introduced, but congutners will
have to wait for similar legislation
from other provinces before the
bill becomes law. The
Government will n of proceed
with debate on the legislation, but
, will await response from the
public, business, other' provinces,
and the federal government. This
new act will cover most products
costing more than $25 which are
considered moveable
possessions. It will. n :ot 'cover
such products such as food, drink,
medicine, cosmetics, clothing and
securities.

This . amendment was an

not put any kind of time limit on
the reintroduction of the Bill and
the 'Bill could have been shelved
indefinitely. The amendment also,
did not indicate • that the
