PHONE 527-1010 SgAFORTS Report from Queens Park Cranbrook by Murray*Gaunt MPP WMS hears about Compassion In the Speech from the Throne, opening a new session of the Legislature this week, the Ontario Government promised to appoint an ombudsman to protect citizens from arbitrary decisions by the provincial bureaucracy. The Government also promised increased aid for the elderly and for those trying to buy homes. The Speech also said it would "seek the co-operation of law, enforcement agencies to curl* rising crime, so that our cities and streets will remain the safest and most secure in North America." Most of the speech, read by Lieutenant Governor Pauline McGibbon, dealt with the tough economic times the government expects in the near future. Other than the appointment of an ombludsman, there were few details of the Government's plans for the Session which is expected to be the last before an election. Measures to provide Ontario farmers with reasonable assurance of maintaining a profitable and vital enterprise were promised, although there were no specifics spelled out. Environment Minister, Mr. William Newman this week gave the Ontario soft drink industry 12 months to start using more refillable pop containers or face legislation because throw-away pop cans and bottles are environmentally damaging. He said they cause more energy consumption, morelitter and more garbage. The Minister demanded that retailers offer in reusable bottles all sizes and brands they stock. He also asked for a price structure to reflect the desirability of refillable bottles such as a higher price for throwaways, convenient return system for refillables and promotion of refillables by the industry itself. Arthur Porter, Chariman of the Canadian Environmental Advisory Council , and a Professor of Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto was named this week to head a special Royal Commission into the long range planning for Ontario's power needs. The Commission, which anticipates two years of public hearings across the Province, will emphasize public participation in planning the expansion of Ontario Hydro for 1983 - 93. By 1983, if Hydro's plans go ahead as proposed, the assets of the Crown Corporation would increase from their value in 1972 of about $5.5 billion to more than $30 billion. The hearings will consider all aspects of Ontario's power need including the impact on urban planning, agricultural land, the industrial sector and consumer prices.
