The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1977-12-22, Page 6By JACK RIDDELL
MPP Huron-Middlesex
Despite its concern about the
number of people out of work in
the Province, the Ontario
Government does not plan any
job creation program this wintur,
Premier William Davis said
that he did not feel it would be
constructive for the government
to create winter projects at this
Urine. He said such solutions were
short term and in order to solve
the problem on a more lasting
basis "it does require on the part
of all governments, I guess, a
degree of intestinal fortitude that
is not always easy to demon-
strate".
During his remarks of the
expenditure estimates of the
Ministry of Environment,
Murray Gaunt, Liberal MPP for
Huron Bruce, called on the Davis
Government to establish a
marketing agency for recycled
materials and to establish no new
landfill sites after 1981. He said a
marketing agency to co-ordinate
the supply of reclaimed
materials and to seek customers
is "workable" and could promote
and accelerate the building of
reclamation and recycling
plants.
According to the Minister's
own figures, these plants would
save more than $11 million every
year for the 90 percent of Ontario
garbage that would be affected.
Mr. Gaunt said that Ontario
Municipalities are not taking up
the Provincial Government's
offer to fund 50 percent of the
capital costs of solid waste
recovery systems and that
private enterprise should be
encouraged to come into that
would be affected.

Need additional jobs
the Provincial Government's
offer to fund -50 percent of the
capital costs of solid waste
recovery systems and that
private enterprise should be
encouraged to come into the field.
Responding f.o concern about
reports of leaks of confidential
medical data to the ,RCMP, OPP
and other, the Ontario Govern-
ment has appointed an Ontario
Supreme Court Judge to head a
provincial inquiry. However, the
judge will have no power to in-
vestigate specific past abuses of
confidentiality. His task will
merely be to inquire into current
procedures for the safe-guarding
of such data.
The Attorney General tables a
legal opinion which indicates that
although OHIP employees and
police officials (and possibly
others) probably have broken the
confidentiality sections of the
Health Insurance Act, no
orosecutions, should be carried
out. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith
has expressed the fear that some
people might not go to doctors or
hospitals if they believed that
their medical history was readily
available to police investigators,
"I wouldn't want the police to be
held back from doing their duty",
he said, "but I'm concerned that,
for example, someone might not
come for treatment as a habitual
child abuser because of fear of
the police." People ought to feel
that their medical files are
confidential unless police have a
demonstrable need for in-
formation and are "not just on a
fishing expedition".
This week I called upon the
Government of Ontario to give
urgent consideration to some
means of alleviating the financial
burden imposed on many
Ontarians as a result of increases
in expenses which exceed the
A.I.B. guidelines.
I pointed that for people in
rural. Ontario, the cost of Hydro
has increased 50 percent, which
is a very serious matter when one
considers the urgent necessity of
hydro power in storm-tossed
rural areas, Fuel and gas prices
are also causing great concern.
A short time ago, my colleague,
Dick Ruston of Essex South
urged that the Anti-Inflation
Board review the profit struc-
tures of Union Gas and Consumer
Gas, which last year had profit
increases of 25 percent and 15
percent respectively. We would
certainly endorse this idea, in
view of the fact that the
customers of these gas com-
panies have their wages
restricted by A.I.B. guidelines.
Licence fees for commercial
motor vehicles have recently
been increased, For 4-cylinder
vehicles, there is a 30,4 percent
increase from $23 to $30; for 5 or '12,
6-cylinder vehicles, a 40.6 percent
increase, from $32 to $45; for 8
cylinder vehicles, a 50 percent
• increase, from $40 to $60,
Vehiclesith
engine
displacement in excessof 6.5
litres (397) cubic ins.) being
registered in Ontario for the first
time after December 1 will carry
a fee of $80.
I realize that the A.I.B.
guidelines are not, at present
intended to cover all con-
tingencies. However, the in-
creases which I have mentioned
affect a great majority of
Ontarians, and on their behalf, I
would ask the Premier and his
colleagues to give some con-
sideration to the problems which
these people are experiencing,
and to finding some means of
reducing the impact of rising
costs.
