THE BRUSSELS POST, APRIL 5, 1978 — 9 By Murray Gaunt The Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations has annoucned revised Advertising Directives for Producers of Alcoholic Beverages, which are more comprehensive and more restrictive than existing guide- lines. New restrictions have been added oh ' lifestyle advertising, For example, beer, wine and dder advertisers must take into account. _the likelihood of minors and adult non-users being exposed to their advertising. The probable audience...for an advertisement must consist primarily of drinking age adults. Advertisers are required to prepare...an annual report... containing data on the ages of those exposed to their advertising the previous one-year period, based upon independent qualified sources, such as the Bureau of Br oadcast Measurement and the Print Measurement Bureau. The advertisements are to emphasize the nature and quality of the product, and not to imply that social acceptance, personal success, business or athletic achievement may result form the use of the advertised product. Advertisements should be directed to promoting the merits of the particular brand, to promote brand preference, and should not suggest that the consumption of alcoholic beverages is a significant factorin the realization of the enjoyment of any activity. Advertiserhents must not *.suggest that participants in work, sports, hobby, recreation ,and other similar activities should consume alcoholic beverages =`.whilst engaging in their work or other activity. Nor may advertising suggest that consumption of alcohol in any way enhances performance or enjoy- ment of these activities. Most important, advertise- ments must not appear to suggest or recommend the consumption of beer, wine or cider prior to the driving of a motorized vehicle, or participation in any sort of activity in which the participants' safety is dependent upon normal levels of alertness, physical coordin- ation or speed of response,' except in authorized messages of 'moderation. Nor should any advertisement depict or suggest any activity which is a breach of the Liquor Licence Actor any other Provincial Statute. Frequency of broadcast advertising has been reduced, and the' new Directives specify that no company may advertise more than 75 minutes a week in any calendar year, and that the weekly _average is not to exceed 55 minutes. For TV, the weekly J.E.

Messages suggesting under- age drinking will not 'be permitted, not will advertising in publications having a readership predominantly under the drinking age, or during broadcast time with a predominantly under age audience. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith has confronted the Provincia: Treasurer with his own words from the 1976 Provincial Budget in connection with the Province's OHIP premiums. At that time the Treasurer said that the 1976 proposed premium increases would mean that about 28% of OHIP costs would be met ,by premiums Hemaintained that this percentage would be a more appropriate level than the 23% raised in 1975-76 and was a suitable "long-run norm to maintain as health care costs increase in future years." Stuart Smith has poiiited out that the 37.5% increase in premiums proposed in the 1978 Provincial Budget will, in fact, raise $199 million more than the Treasurer claimed in 1976 was an appropriate percentage of health costs. It would seem that the Treasurer's "long-run norm" was only aplicabfe until this March 7. The currently proposed increases mean that premiums would cover 34% of health care costs.' Had the Treasurer maintained his own percentage *figure of ;28% he would have needed $199 million less. The Treasurer said he had changed his mind since.1976. The Liberal Leader chatged that the Treasurer was simply looking for a place to raise about $200 million mere in revenue "and picked on the OHIP premiums to do it, because he knows that people are worried about health, and because it is a high-profile ministry behind which he can hide the fiscal irresponsibility which put him in this box in the first place." This week the Ministry of the Environment Estimates came befcrethe Resources Development Committee for consideration. In leading off for the Liberal Party, I stated that in my view the Ministry of theEnvironment was indeed a very important Ministry, in that it could set new directions for the province in the next few years with respect to how we handle our garbage and whether cr not we make some major thrusts into the areas of recycling of waste and the whole field of resource recovery. I pointed out that something will have to be done, because we cannot continue to use landfill sites indefinitely 'to dspose of municipal garbage and waste, as well as industrial waste, simply, because of the volumes involved. Metropolitan Toronto produces 1.7 million tons of rbage every year, and at current trends will 'likely double hi the next ten to twelve years. Re cycling has major implications in terms of conserving resources, saving money as well as energy. For instance, the recycling of paper alone can save substantial natural resources. Recycling eleven million tons of paper could ".4 VVingham Memorial Shop QUALITY SERVICE CRAFTSMANSHIP Open Every Weekday Your Guarantee for Over 35 Years of CEMETERY LETTERING Box 158, WINGHAM ..JOHN MALLICK
