The conference was called to discuss the federal contribution to shared-cost programs among other issues such as inflation and economic policies. The federal government now pays about half the operating costs of such shared cost programs as medicare. hospital insurance and post secondary education, while the provinces pay the other half and administer the programs which fall under provincial jurisdiction. The federal contribution in 1973-7' is $1.5 billion for hospital insurance, $710 million for medicare and $1.02 billion for post secondary educa- tion. The only other major shared-cost program at present is the Canada Assistance Plan, whereby the Federal Government pays the provinces currently $905,3 million to meet about half of their welfare costs. The federal share of these four programs is now $4,137,300,000 or 22,5 percent of the Federal budget of $18.4 billion. Ontario's proposal was to remove the Federal Government from shared-cost programs and to have the Government turn over to the provinces a share of the income tax which it now receives. The federal government receives about 71 percent of all personal income tax collected in Canada, The provinces rejected unanimously proposed federal changes in the financing of post secondary education, but were a little more receptive to Federal proposals to change the financing arrangements for shared-cost health programs, But the conference broke up without any firm commitments by either side to implement the proposed changes. Bearings continued all week by the select committee of the Legislature into Ontario Hydro's dealings with Canada Square Cor- poration for construction of a $45 million head office building. Hydro chairman, George Gathercole, was on the hot seat most of the time and pleaded ignorance when confronted with a series of memoranda from senior Hydro officials dealing with the plans for the new building which is now being constructed on a leaseback arrangement by Canada Square Corporation, headed by Gerhard Moog, a close friend of Premier Davis. A confidential memorandum received by Gathercole in November, 1971, recommended that the job of building the new head office go to "the developer in whom we have complete confidence". It did not name the developer but under stiff questioning Mr. Gathercole finally agreed that anyone who read the memo would have to conclude that the reference was to Canada Square. The memorandum was written three months after Canada Square was supplied with drawings of a shelved design for the project and well before an invitation went out to four other developers to submit competing proposals. Gathercole's inability to recollect important matters leading up to the contract being finally given to Canada Square Corporation frustrated the committee members into asking who decides on policy at Hydro. James Bullbrook (L. Sarnia) said it would appear that decisions are made by management staff and then rubber- stamped by the power commission. Transportation Minister, Gordon Carton, announced a $317,6 million capital construction program which will involve work on 632 miles of highway and the construction of 95 bridges. Much of the ex- penditure will be in the Toronto, Ottawa, Niagara Falls and Sudbury areas. Responding to a question by Albert Roy (L, Ottawa East). who charged in the Legislature that one company, Imperial Optical, con- trolled the Board of Ophthalmic Dispensers, Health Minister,Richard Potter, said his ministry is investigating to ensure there is no conflict of interest. A question concerning Alio protection of rental tenants from building defects was raised by',Nie Martel (N.D.P., Sudbury East) at a, Legislature committee meeting, The Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations informed the ,cornmittee that the question of compenSation and repair of,such defeas! was up to the individual and was not the responsibility of the municipality. Labour Minister F6rn Guindon, gave ground to pressure by municipalities opposed to relinquishing their control over construction safety inspection and will introduce a compromise bill permitting regional municipalities and those with more than 100,000 residents to conduct their own inspections. The original bill would have turned over all construction safety inspection to the province. The new bill will establish a maximum fine of $10,000 with an additional $500 a day for failure to obey an inspector's order. and terms of imprisonment of up to 12 months. A report tabled in the Legislature by Health Minister, Dr. Richard Potter, proposes tight controls on health costs that would directly affect medical care to Ontario residents. Patients and doc- tors abusing the medical insurance plan will be reviewed and penaliz- ed, The report also recommends the establishment of studies of other ways of paying doctors than by fee for service. Several cabinet ministers met the Legislature's Public Accounts Committee ' in its investigation of possible abuses of the use of Government aircraft . Darcy McKeough, one of the top three aircraft users, refused to apologize for the use of the aircraft by his wife and friends. He maintained that Cabinet Ministers should have virtually unrestricted use of aircraft. An analysis of $87,000 paid for travelling expenses to members of parliament is to be ready for the committee next week. Almost $11,000 of it was paid to Leo Bernier. Minister of Natural Resources, who said about $7,000 of it was for commercial airline travel to his Northern Ontario riding. The Commission on the Legislature tabled its report at the end of the week, proposing that the basic indemnity of a private member be increased to $15,000 and that the tax free allowance be increased to $7500. It abolishes the per diem payments to members serving on select committees, and establishes new means to permit these members to be fairly reimbursed for expenses actually incurred. It would discontinue the practice of appointing MPP's to permanent boards and comtnissions. Ontario is challenging Ottawa's control over telecommunications. Gord Carton. Minister of Transportation and Communication, an- nounced in the Legislature that the Ontario Government is looking to an era of shared responsibilities with Ottawa over telecom- munications control and eventual total control of cable system liven- cing.
