The speech, read by Lieu- tenant Governor Pauline McGibbon before a packed Legislature, promised every- thing from more handouts to industry, stepped-up apprenticeship training, buses for the disabled, commitments to national unity, a substantial increase in tourist promotion, to a better program of food price monitoring. Free drugs for senior citi- zens will be continued. In addition, the government promised that services for chronically ill patients who want to live at home will be extended, and a "significant number of beds will be added to the system for persons needing long term nursing home or chronic hospital care." A special board of provin- cial Cabinet Ministers will administer an employment development fund to give incentives to industry to create jobs. The program is expected to cost about $200 million. The government will be looking at companies with long term growth potential, Industry and Tourism Minister Larry Grossman said the fund is "an attempt to speed up the process" of assisting medium sized Canadian firms to change their product lines, modern- ize plants, get into export business or more researich and development. Other highlights of the speech include: ,—Legislation to protect children in custody —Amendments to the. Labour Relations Act to cut the costs of arbitration —Lumber companies will be responsible for forest management, while govern- ment maintains responsib- ility for productive forest lands —A $58 million five- year cost-sharing agreement with the federal government will demonstrate new tech- nology in energy conser- vation and regeneration. —The August 6th civic MISS JULIE McCALL daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Ross McCall of Brussels graduated, February 24, 1979 from Ross Academy in London in , the Travel, Counselling and Tourism programme. holiday will be designated Children's Day, with special events in Provincial Parks. Jack Riddell (Huron- Middlesex) and I, along with others in the House, have asked the Minister of Health about the difficult situation encountered by area hosp- itals in regard to bed cuts. The Minister indicated that there will be adjustments made in the program, and that additional chronic beds will be allowed in areas of the province that have aged populations above the pro- vincial average of 8.6%.- 13.3% of the population in Bruce County is 65 years of age and over, and 12,95 of the population in Huron County is in that category. Hopefully, adjustments can be made to account for that. The Minister has indicated that he will be working through the Health Councils, where applicable, or, where there is no Health Council, he will deal with hospitals on an area basis where there is a request for consideration for additional chronic ,teds. In a lot of cases in HuFon-Bruce, the problem would be greatly relieved if a switch from active to chronic beds were approved, rather than clos- ing out the beds entirely.
