This is what Ontario is doing to protect you away from home. OHIP TRAVELLER'S GUIDE Your Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) is designed to help you anywhere in the world. In case of injury or sudden illness outside Ontario, OHIP will pay the cost of standard hospital accommodation, For non-emergency services, it will pay up to 75% of the cost for the type of hospital service normally covered under your Ontario Plan, Medical fees will be reimbursed to you at 90% of approved services as set out in the Ontario Medical Association Schedule of Fees, But bear in mind that medical costs in some countries are often higher than in Ontario. So avoid being 'faced with a bill considerably higher than the amount OHIP pad repay you, by doing four things: 1. Know what benefits OHIP provides before you leave home. 2. If you consider that your OHIP coverage may be insufficient, you can obtain supplementary coverage from private insurers for out of prov- ince charges. 3. Always carry your ()HIP card with you. 4. In a financial emergency, ask the hospital to phone or write CHIP to confirm your coverage. Remember, you will usually have to make pay- ment .on the spot for treatment outside Ontario, But CHIP will reimburse you for insured services if you submit itemized receipts within 6 months of the date of service. Describe why you were outside of Ontario — vacation,. business, etc.—and provide complete personal information plus details of the medical or hospital service performed. Include name and address of physician, hospital, fee for each service and dates. And always state your OHIP number, A free booklet called "The Traveller's Guide to the Ontario Health Insurance Plan" explains everything you need to know.

There seem to be a general lack of understanding as to the non-confidence motion. This is a means of 'getting serious debate on the floor of the House. The Liberal Party as the Official Opposition is allowed _two non-confidence motions a year whereas the New Democratic Party as the third party, is allowed one non- confidence motion during one session. In fact the Liberals were criticized for not making use of this device. The Liberal Party when in- troducing the non-confidence motion, as a minority party, did not expect to win the vote in this context but was only affor- ding the opportunity to discuss inflation in the area where it is of utmost concern to the people. During the debate these vital issues were discussed and by way of specific proposals, Mr. Nixon strongly urged that a commitment for a balanced or surplus budget in 1975-1976, must come from the Premier, that a price review procedure must be established by the Province and that a municipal rent review procedure be established, whereby a Board should-have powers to call wit- nesses and compel evidence as arbitrators in landlord-tenant rent dispUtes. Mr. Nixon said, that expan- ded powers should be given to the Ontario Energy Board, so that all fuel prices, as well as energy prices Nould come under its jurisdiction, Ontario's position in negotiating with the federal government in this regard should be predicated on the policy that price increases for Canadian resources must serve all Canadians and not just thbee in the ,Province of origin. Mr. Stephen Lewis, Leader of the New Democratic Party, in support of the Non-confidence motion said that the New Democratic Party understood the international realities of in- flation, they •understood the. continental realities, and that they accepted the Premier's contention that inflation and the pressures on the cost of living generally Are' very much a national phenomenon and that it is, therefore, difficult for a province to intercede. He felt, however, that there are ways for the Province of Ontario to intrude itself in defence of the consumer, and that there has been a total ab- diction of responsibility on the part of the Government - in fact, a kind of surrendering of the right to govern - by not in- truding on behalf of the con- sumer and protecting the con- sumer in a situation quite so desperate and so savage as this is, particularly for low and `fixed income earners. During the question and an- swer period, Rcibert Nixon wan- ted to know from the Minister of Housing, Donald Irvine whether there was any infor- mation available about the assembly of 10,000 acres, more or less. of land in the Edward- sburgh Township. Mr, Irvine insisted that he did not know for what purpese the land is Assembled or who is acquiring option on the farreland, He 'said it remained to be seen whether it would be a Govein- ment undertaking. In reply to Opposition questioning, as to whether any priority 'is given to children of, residents of the Province of On- tario to attend professional universities of this Province, The Minister of Colleges and Universities Mr, James Auld, indicated to the Legislature that individual universities set admission policies and throughout the Province about 84 .percent of the first year students are Canedian citizens, Foe the 582 first year positions available at the five medical schools iri the Province there was a total of 8,733 ap- plications. Ontario Health Minister Frank Miller has indicated that there would be no increase' n OHIP premiums in the next fiscal year. There, has been reports that ceilings on hospital spending will be removed. However, the Minister has pointed out that a Provincial "Ceiling does exist. This is the fixed sum which will be available to the -Ministry. The sum total of funds requested by hospitals must be capable of being contained within the funds available. It was agreed that the percentage impact of existing inflationary factors would vary from one hospital to another. The 1975 budgetary procedure for 1975 was accepted in advance by the Ontario Hospital Association. Mr, Albert Roy, Liberal Member for Ottawa East, asked Mrs. Margaret Birch, Secretary for Social Develop- ment, about the • pamphlets being distributed by the Con- servative Party of Ontario, un- der, the title "Body Politic": The pamphlets were sent to all the Librarians of schools across the Province under a letter signed by Duncan Green, which indicated that the staff as well as the students of high rschools would find this informetion helpful and should prove useful in the Canadian studies of courses at the schools. The kit contained a picture of Premier Davis, pamphlets titled, A Profile of the Davis Govern- ment, The Priorities of the Davis Government, The Progressive Conservative ie eeeee. Tradition in Ontario, and also descriptions of Government programs. Mrs. Brieh indicated that she was not aware that these had been distributed and that she would look into the Matter. The Minister of Housing, Mr, Donald Irvine, announced yesterday the signing of agreements to constrert 3.013 subsidized units under the On- tario Housing Action Program. The Province promised to produce 12,000 units for the year 1974. It is hoped that the housing starts for this Province will be up to 90,000 units, a considerable' drop from last year which was approximately 110,000 units. Of the 3,033 subsidized units under the Ontario HousinieAc- tion Program only 1,167 units ,or 38% of the subsidized units will be priced for the HOME program income range of below $14,500. The income group below $8,000, which represents a significant number of families in this Province, has not been mentioned. One of my constituents wrote to me, unfortunately omitting her address making it difficult to respond, and raised a matter which I am sure concerns many senior citizens. She was under the misapprehension that the new Drug Benefit Program required 'her to obtain a prescription each time she needed a refill. Senior citizens are given four drug cards at a time, and doc- tors may authorize a supply of drug§ up to six months. If a senior citizen wants more 'than one month's supply of drugs, all he or she has to do is deposit the corresponding num- ber of cards with one phar- macist. This is the procedure which can be followed by senior citizens particularly those who have transportation difficulties or those who wish to spend a holiday away from home for any length of time.
