Opposition Parties delivered a major attack on Treasurer John White's new budget this week, scorning it for wild spending and a deficit that will continue to stimulate inflation. The Liberal critic critized the treasurer far making no attempt to curtail rising costs. He said a committee of the Legislature should be set up as a provincial prices review board which could recommend price rollbacks to the house, Mr. Breithaupt, the Liberal financial critic said the board could examine such things as the recent milk price increase, medical fee schedules, car in- surance rates, and apartment rent structures. The board should immediately summon food processing com- panies and ask them to justify their enormous profit increases. The budget did not even mention food costs. The document did estimate that Provincial government spending would increase in the current fiscal year by an even one billion dollars to 8.3 billion and the deficit would come to 625 million dollars. Mr. Breithaupt said that by the end of the fiscal year the Government will have added more than 2 billion dollars to the public debts in four years. He said annual interest payments on the debt have already jumped by 177 percent to 674 million dollars this year. Mr. Breithaupt went on to say that Ontario's Government cannot slow the inflationary spiral in the Provincial economy until it finds the courage to control the inflation of its own expenditures. Mr. Breithaupt accused the Government of waste and misplaced priorities and outlined a number of measures the Official Opposition would like to see implemented. These measures included the following: Mining taxes should be made stiffer by being applied against the company's cash flows or real operating profits minus a portion of their actual exploration and development expenditures in Ontario. Development should be prohibited on good farm land in Ontario unless it is demonstrated that no other suitable land is available. Property taxes on these lands should be levied at agricultural rates to encourage farmers rather than at development potential rates. Ontario should step up its corporate tax rate by two points to re-occupy room left vacant by the federal government's reduction of corporate income taxes from 40 to 38 percent in the past two years. To help overcome regional disparity within the Province, tax policies should be selective. The former 5 percent Provincial tax credit for investment in machinery and equipment should be renewed for gOods that will be, used in regions east. of Ottawa and north of the French River. Retail sales taxes should be .out two points to 5 percent, north of the French River. Gasoline tax should be reduced 4c to 15c a. gallon. in the north. • The Ontario Development Corporation should change from a loan agency into an initiator of business, The ODC would carry new projects to the stage where conventional business organizations are prepared to fund and manage thetn. Throw away bottles and cans should be banned. There should be a standard returnable pop bottle in Ontario just as there already is a standard beer bottle. A package of measures to meet the housing crisis would include development of the 18,000 acres currently held by the Ontario Housing Corporation, provisiOn of trunk sewer and water ser- vices by MC to Municipalities as a public utility, removal of the sales tax on building materials used on houses andapartments and encouragement of inex- OLD SOUTH 12 OZ Orange Juice 2/89c SWANSON'S 12 OZ Chi:, Turkey, Beef Dinner 89 4 SA Produce W ANWAR( IIERE: U.S. NO 1 FRESH ASPARAGUS 69c LB U.S. NO 1 FRESH MUSHROOMS 79( L B CALIFORNIA NO 1 - 1I3's ORANGES 79 c DOZEN GRAPES 77c LB pensive housing. forms including mobile and .factory bat homes,. Mr. Breithaupt said Mr. White's tax on land speculation has too many loopholes to have any significant effect on the price of housing. Indeed without mechanism to prevent its effects from being passed on to the housebuyer, this tax may even aggravate the problem. • -Mr. Breithaupt was par- ticularly distressed by the loss. of prime farm land to urban sprawl. He stressed that this dangerous trend must be stopped. With every acre of farm land. that is consumed by urban sprawl, the ability to produce food is altered although the demand for food is increased. Donald MacDonald, Budget Critic for the New Democratic Party, in reply to Treasurer John White's budget, said that the Provincial Government should move into the housing market in a massive way to ease the pressures that are driving prices up. The Government should set itself the target of building from 25 to 40 percent of housing stock through the Ontario Housing By JACK RIDDELL M.P.P. Corpration. He felt only in this way could housing be re-geared to incomes and the market coeled sufficiently to dampen the fires of inflation, Mr. Macdonald said the latest figures show OHC owns only .65 percent of the province's housing Stock. and only rents 540 percent of it, Whereas comparing Ontario with Britain, more than one quarter of the housing stock is rented from local .authorities. He called the budget "a flagrant exercise in Min - flainming the public". Mr. Macdonald felt that the Government's proposed land speculation tax is full of loopholes. "The lawyers are going to have a Roman holiday and the developers will still be laughing all the way to the bank". He said the higher taxes on mining companies hardly touch these firms' real profits, that there should be a .15 percent tax on mining production as well as a tax on reserves in the ground. That there should be a provincial prices review board able to decrease prices, either on isolated commodities such as fertilizer .and ,farm machinery. Mr. MacDonald aisq felt that Ontario should follow the lead. of Nova 15coti4 and force the. oil companies to cut the extent of the price increases they plan for next Month. This conld. be done through the Ontario Energy Hoard, Consumer and Commercial Relations Minister, John Clement, said that. the Ontario Government will Introduce warranties on new houses, covering materials and work- manship later this year if it can work out agreements with the federal government. The Ontario Government will increase its spending on cultural activities by one third in the current fiScal year. Cultural spending plans were outlined in a statement by James Auld Minister of Colleges and Universities. Libraries, museums, galleries and artistic organizations will get hefty increases in their operating grants from the ProvinCe. Mr. Auld plans to introduce legislation soon that will give municipalities greater power to designate and preserve historic. buildings. One million dollars will go to a new program outreach. Ontario, which aims to decen- tralize Ontario's cultural resources. Complete Line of lap Ps Now In Stock Jerry MacLean & Son AUTOMOTIVE LTD.
