He urged the Health Minister to place pathologists on salaries geared to the size of the labs which they head and the amount of work performed. The Minister did not deny the high incomes, but added that there are a number of income arrangements between hospitals and pathologists. The Attorney-General has indicated that he does not think there should be a public inquiry into the Ontario private lab in- dustry if criminal charges result from investigations into Abko Medical Laboratory Ltd. An inquiry might interfere with police charges, and in any event any decision to carry out an inquiry would have to be made by cabinet. He said the decision with regard to laying charges would be made within a week. The in- vestigations into Abko resulted from stories that the firm's records indicate the Ontario Health Insurance Plan had been billed for tests on patients which were, in fact, never carried out, The Government of Ontario signed an instrument of Assignment of the licence to operate the abattoir at Guelph Correctional Centre, to Guelph Beef Centre Ltd, a company of the DeJonge Group.

Both Leaders strongly criticized the Provincial Government, par- ticularly for the policy of ar- bitrarily closing down hospitals in the Province. The Government anticipated saving some $40-$50 million a year by closing or cutting back ten hospitals, and the closures are being carried out with little apparent concern for the impact on the communities in which the hospitals are located. In the case of the psychiatric hospital at Goderich and Timmins, these are to be used as centres for ther mentally retarded, to some extent. The Opposition maintain that the Government has not proved that the savings claimed will in fact result from the hospital closures, nor given a satisfactory rationale for the cutbacks in hospital beds and staff in 69 other hospitals. It was also mentioned that if the Province had held the private medical laboratory industry to a 15 percent increase in its annual billings to the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, about $65 million would have been saved, $35 million of it this year. The cut- backs on transfer payments to municipalities were also discussed, and reference was made to the commitment given at the Edmonton 'Di-level Con- ference in 1973, when the then Treasurer of Ontario said that the Ontario Government ga.ye a guarantee to the province's local governments that in the future assistance from the Provincial Government to the municipalities would grow at a rate not less than the growth rate of Ontario's total revenue. Now, it seems, the government is going back on this commitment because at a time when the predicted growth rate of Ontario's revenue is 10 percent, ceilings of 5.5 percent and 3.1 percent are being imposed. Both Opposition Leaders put forward amendments to the Throne Speech criticizing the government for lack of respon- sibility in forcing school boards and municipalities to increase property taxes to home owners and tenants, for lack of financial responsibility generally, and for the cutbacks on hospitals and laboratories. If the Opposition Parties should join together to vote for the amendment and sub-amendment which have been proposed, the minority government will be defeated. The vote on the Throne Speech will be taken before April 6, when it had been anticipated the Provincial Budget would be brought down, The Premier and Treasurer have both said that there is no in- tention of advancing the date of budget presentation.
