Pieett par 9,ume, 24eeit'd. dank By JACK RIDDELL M,P,P. The Honourable John White, Provincial Treasurer brought down the budget in the Legislature this week. Some 641,000 people who receive federal guaranteed in- come supplements, family benefits and welfare payments will be given assistance with drug costs commencing September 1st. Also pensioners and those who are disabled will be paid the highest guaranteed annual in- come in Canada, as from July 1st - $2,600 for singles and $5,200 for couples, The new income supplements are $25.61 a month for single pensioners and $68.84 for couples. When these amounts are added to the federal old age security and guaranteed income supplement a single pensioner would receive a minimum monthly income of $216.67 and a married couple a minimum of $433.33. The retail sales tax has been removed from a wide range of household cleaning materials and personal items such as tooth- paste, soap and shaving creams, as well as shoes, skates and athletic footwear costing less than $30,00 People in the middle-income group earning more than $13,000 are again penalized under the Ontario Tax Credit programme, and those earning less than this amount will receive an increase in tax credits. A small business tax credit is to be introduced and there are plans to establish a Venture Invest- "Consideration has been given. as to where sufficient power would be developed that would meet the requirements 10 to 15 years hence and there is no positive statement at all so I am not in any way misleading or playing any games with the House. I am as much concerned as anyone would be with any ill effects that might emanate from any such generating station whatever the type might be. But until there is some in- Mr, Stewart's reply to the supplementary question was as follows: "Mr. Speaker, I am not pretending they don't exist. Obviously a statement had been made that there was con- sideration being given. After meeting with the people of, Huron yesterday and with the officials of Ontario Hydro, it was made abundantly clear to us that there has been no such decision, It is purely in an exploratory state. dication that there is going to be such a plant then I think it is presumptuous that there will be as was included in the question, of my friend from Huron. We are concerned and I can assure you that our Ministry will be having. major imput into any decisions that are being made regarding any possible ill effects that would emanate to the farm community from such a plant." In a colourful and traditional ceremony in the Legislature this week, Mrs. Pauline McGibbOii was installed as the new Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. Mrs. McGibbon is President of the Canadian Conference of the Arts as well as Chairman of the Board of Women's College Hospital in Toronto, and for the past four years has been Chan- cellor of the University of Toronto. She is the first woman to be appointed to a vice regal position in Canada, Fun roll call at Kippen WI By MRS.

This is designed to encourage the growth of active Canadian controlled private corporations which will be entitled to an income tax credit equal to 5 percent of the increase in their capital in. Ontario to a maximum of $3,000 annually, The Treasurer has imposed stiff new taxes on land and property speculators, amounting to a 50 percent tax on land or house sale profits which the Province considers to be in ex- cess of real value. However, there does not appear to be any provision made by the Govern- ment to prevent this tax from being passed on to the home- buyer. An Ontario Land Corporation is to be established to stimulate acquisition and development of land for industrial and residential purposes, and the existing land transfer tax has been increased to 19 percent for non-residents, There will also be increased grants to municipalities to en- courage water and sewerage projects to make available more serviced lots for residential development, but these grants are only to be given to restruc- tured governments. Some time ago John Spence, Liberal member for Kent, asked the Minister if the power to grant consent is to be returned to those municipalities whose official plans have been approved, and he has now stated in the House that there is a program to return this power to regions and restruc- tured counties, but not to other municipalities. Representative of the Ontario Bean ProducersMarketing Board met with Resource Development Ministers and other officials on Monday of this week to express their concern over the much talked about expansion of nuclear development plants along the shores of Lake Huron. I questioned the Minister of Agriculture the following day as to what steps he intended to take to meet the concerns of the Board. The Minister's reply was as follows: "First of all Mr. Speaker, there is no proposed nuclear power plants south of Goderich. There are exploratory considerations going on by Ontario Hydro. I know that location has been suggested. Several sites have been under consideration but to my knowledge there is no site chosen and to my knowledge there has been no decision made whether it would be a nuclear plant or a fossil fuel plant, No one has any idea about that as yet." A supplementary question to the Minister of Agriculture, by Mr. Lewis, Leader of the NDP was as follows: "Why are you playing that game with the legislature. You know that Ontario Hydro indiscreetly made the mistake of ' letting it be known that they are looking for a site in that im- mediate area, and therefore, is it not now legitimate to indicate what you are going todo with the groups of residents who are extremely concerned about radio active waste, about InverHuron Park happening elsewhere, about all of the things that are generated when you set up a nuclear plant."
