P, Mr. Dennis Timbrell, Minister of Energy, announced the ap- pointment of Mr. Claude Malcolm. Isbister to the Royal Commission respecting the pricing of petroleum products. Mr. Isbister is presently holding the position of Executive Director of the World Bank Group in Washington, D.C, a post he has held for the past five years. His appoimtment as Royal Commissioner is planned to take effect on August 1, 1975. For some considerable time Liberal leader Robert Nixon has been calling upon the Govern- ment to use its influemce with Ontario Hydro to reduce the proposed rate increases for hydro. Hydro had originally proposed a rate increase of 29,6 percent for next January. In response to Government policy directive, Hydro indicated that they were going to reduce this, rate of increase. Mr. Nixon stated that in his view, Hydro should reduce its rate increase by half. He also suggested that the $44 million construction for Hydro's new headquarters be rented out to the private sector to cut budget corners, Premier William Davis has recently refused to meet a delegation of citizens who want an independent inquiry into the proposed Hydro power corridor between Bradley Junction and Georgetown. The Leader of the Opposition, Robert Nixon, asked Douglas Squire and Tom Plumb, London, were Sunday visitors with Mr. & Mrs. Cecil Squire. Mr. & Mrs. Malcolm Spence and Mr. & Mrs. Larry Hern and boys were Sunday supper guests with Mr. & Mrs. Gerald Hern, Mr. & Mrs. Hamilton Hodgins attended the 50th wedding an- niversary of Mr. & Mrs. Stanley McCutcheon, Glencoe, on Saturday evening. Mr. & Mrs. Gordon Johnson were guests at the Johnson-Kuehl It's fun to learn to swim the Red Cross Water Safety way. When you swim, swim with a buddy, never alone. the Provincial Secretary for Resources Development, Allan Grossman to use his good offices with the Premier to afford the delegation the opportunity to express their concern to the Premier, Mr. Nixon felt it was a matter that should not be brushed aside since it concerned the utilization of farmland and the many citizens in the 90 mile corridor. Bernard Newman, Liberal member for Windsor- Walkerville, asked the Minister of the Environment whether he was aware of recent studies in the United States that have revealed that drinking water which sits in household pipes overnight has been found in many instances to contain poisonous levels of metals like cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, manganese and zinc, Such metals can cause high blood pressure, arterial problems as well as mental retardation. Mr. Newman wanted the Minister to assure the House that no such levels of these metals can be found in Ontario waters. The Minister of the Environment said that to his knowledge there is not. His Ministry is constatly checking. Mrs, Margaret Campbell, Liberal member for St. George, this week expressed concern about the Davis-Government's disregard for the operation of the Legislature. The Premier, Mrs. Campbell said, for the entire month of June, spent a total of 225 minutes, under four hours, in the Legislature. She said the Premier's disregard for the Legislative process sets a poor example for Conservative members. The Premier seldom attends Question Period and when he does he is often late. Mrs. Campbell „said while the Premier was swatting a few baseballs with the Press Gallery last Monday, it was interesting that on the same day the Legislature had to adjourn at 5:25 p.m. for lack of business. Mrs. Campbell said that if the Premier wants to engage in wedding in Kitchener on Saturday. Betty Johnson spent the week at Camp Bimini. Mr. & Mrs. Everett Hicks, Barrie spent a few days with Mr. & Mrs. John Scott. Mr. & Mrs. Alton Neil called on Mr. & Mrs.John Scott onSaturday afternoon. Mr. & Mrs. Keith Hem and family, Zion were Sunday supper guests with Mr, & Mrs. Ernest Ferguson. Caroline Wallis, Kitchener is spending the week with her grandparents Mr. & Mrs. Alton Wallis. Mr. & Mrs. Jim Foster and boys, Stratford were Sunday visitors with Margery Morley. Mr. & Mrs. Hamilton Hodgins attended the Hodgins picnic at Poplar Hill on Sunday. Margery Morley was a guest at the Miners-Chalmers wedding Saturday in Kippen United Church. publicity stunts, that is his decision, but in the interests of the taxpayers of Ontario he should quit fooling around with their money and, a most im- portant institution, the Legislature. Ian Deans, NDP member for Wentworth, asked the Minister of Colleges and Universities whether there will be any new provisions available to students returning to universities and colleges, or attending for the first time, who were unable to obtain summer employment, Mr. Auld replied that he had indicated during the course of his Ministry's estimates there are provisions for an appeal. If the student can indicate that he or she was unable to obtain summer employment, additional funds can be granted through the Canada Student Loan Plan and that the Ministry is making provision for an improvement in the appeal process so that there would not be delays this fall. Bill 144, An Act to Amend the Insurance Act, received second reading. Among other things the amendments permit the establishment of a fire mutal guarantee fund establishing a trust fund to which insurers, carrying on business, on the premium note plan, may sub- scribe and contribute and thereafter cease to issue con- tracts on the premium note plan. The fund guarantees ability of the insurers to meet their obligations. During the discussions on the amendments Hugh Edighoffer, Liberal member for Perth, said that on checking with staff members of the companies he found that discussions have been taking place for approximately three years to have such a change come about as they felt that the system of the premium note was somewhat antiquated and had not been used to its full advantage for 30 years or so. The Minister of Health, the Hon. Frank Miller, has said that he still hopes he can get nine, and perhaps all 10, provincial health ministers to attend a conference later this month or early August. He had originally called for an early meeting to discuss Ottawa's ceilings on con- tributions to health care imposed in the June 23 budget. The four western provincial ministers were unable to attend talks this week and Quebec's minister said he would not attend if the western representatives were not present.

Margaret Campbell, Liberal member for St, George, asked the Minister of Housing what the Government's position was on the matter of rent review. The Honourable Donald Irvine, Minister of Housing, said that the matter has been very seriously and fully discussed and a statement is expected shortly. Richard Smith, Liberal member for Nipissing, asked the Minister of Transportation and Communications whether there has been a decision made on where the moneys will be provided for railway location studies in the Province and whether he has received the recommendations of the Provincial municipal liaison committee and if not, when he expected to receive the recom- mendations and finalization of the decision to be made, Mr. Rhodes said that no decision has been made as to the municipalities which will be studied.
