Agriculture ministry studying hand ownership in Huron
BY MURRAY GAUNT
Opposition parties have called for a
provincial foreign investment review
agency, after Liberal MPP Jack Riddell
(Huron -Middlesex) revealed that a West
German family had enough money depos- ,
ited in Huron County banks to buy the
equivalent of two townships of farmland.
The Minister of Agriculture said be would
need facts and figures before anything
could be done, and that a study of Land
ownership in Huron County was in
progress.
Mr. Riddell noted that four other
provinces have laws, restricting foreign.
ownership of land.

half of the third heavy water plant at the
Bruce nuclear generating station, but it
won't gointo operation until the extra
power is needed, according to an an-
nouncement by Hydro chairman Robert
Taylor. He said the decision to mothball
the plantis based on lower forecasts of
electrical .demand growth; as - well as
conflated uncertainties about•the future
of heavy water ,in Canada and abroad.
During the Liberal . Party's formal
response to the new Provincial Budget,
Financial Critic David Peterson, MPP
(London Centre) referred to the Govern-
ment's lates commitment to balancing
the budget by 1984 as a "sham". He
pointed out that if the Government's own
projections are correct and if the current
rate of decline of the deficit (2.2%)
continues, it would take some forty-three
years before revenue matched expen-
ditures. In addition, this year's forecast
doesn't even include an estimate of
revenue loss from: uptake of the proposed
Small Business Development Program.
"Moreover, if we ,don't soon start
creating new wealth. in Ontario, we shall
necessarily be committing, ourselves to,
ever higher levels of taxation in the years
ahead," Mr. Peterson said. "There is no.
way around that inevitability.
`Ontario's deficits have, in some part,.
in the past been financed by loans taken
out in German Deutschemark, . These
loans were taken out, at a much lower
exchange rate, and when one of the loans
became due and payable. in 1975,it
produced an actual loss for the province
of. $9.55 million. The Province still has
outstanding two loans in DM and we face
even more severe losses due to the
continuing rise in the value of DM. For
instance, this year a portion of one of the
loans became due on February 1st. This
was equal to $4 million Canadian when
we took out the loan, and it required over
pressor, benches and apart-
ment upstairs. Located in •
busy farm area.

$9 million Canadian to make that
payment this year, showing an exchange
loss of about $5 million, with more losses
to come in the future. ;
"The fastest growing budgetry item is
the interest on,the provincial debt: the
Davis years have added '$11.1 billion to
this debt, which is now costing us $3.8
million a day in interest - and, this is
probably a low estimate. This amount to
$1.388 billion a year., 9.2.% of thecurrent
budget, and an increase of 12.6% over
last year. A decade ago, the funded debt
stood at $4.2 billion. Itis now projected to
be $15.3 billion by. the end of the fiscal
year, an increase of 263%, This repres-
ents an increase from $551 per capita in
1970-71 to a projection of $1,791 per
capita for this fiscal year,"
Mr. Peterson criticized the proposed
Employment Development Fund, de-
scribing it , as "little more than a 5200
million slush fund, with no provision for
legislative scrutiny or accountability. If
the Treasurer considered it anything
other than a political pork -barrel, lie
would be willing to introduce legislation
setting out the criteria by which loans and
grants will be considered."
The Liberal Financial Critic condemned
the Small Business Development pro-
gram as "at best a -tax dodge for the rich.
Money will not go where it is needed - to
assist new Canadian 'ventures. Like the
Employment Development Fund, ` it is a
misdirected subsidy, scheme. The Gov-
ernment has missed the mark on both
counts. We fear that the Government's
proposal is too restrictive, and will result
in a complicated, buearucraticnightmare
with no more .chance -of success than its
previous , attempt two years ago (the
•
ill-fated Venture Investment. Corpora-
tions programa) which', attracted not a
single registrant.

important part of a consideration of life as those who have a much greaterr oppor-
it is today, tunity, which brings another quotation,
In 1972-73 the cost was 51,515,409, in man is a man for all that'':
1975-76 the cost increased to 52,309,839. Also the wonderment, is not a great
deal of our heavenand hell right here on
earth, in our day to day. living?
All right, don't everybody blow their
top on that statement, because this is
"me" that is writing this.
Something I have failed to mention is,
that the .party who asked the to write
about life, is now practically unknown to
the younger generation, and yet without
any doubt someone will dig into statistics,
and it will take a very large article to
relate what they have done for the people
of Lucknow.
This is life as it appears to me, because
not asking for any payment, •they have
sacrificed their own time and expense to.
show their sincerity of purpose, their
honesty and freely giving of 'themselves
for others. What is life? It is something
that none of tis want to discard and yet
who knows anything about it.
So I find myself right back . where I
started.
From 1970 witht. a total number of
abortions in Canada of 11,152, it increas-
ed to 54,478 in 1976.,
Those are staggering figures when one
stops to think. it is the size of a rather
large city,when you include the number
of years in between.
I might as well admit, t had an off -hand
feeling, that the pro life movement was
meddling in people's private lives, and
were doing something illegal to me.
Now I can see, why they are so active.
The. poetry that I mentioned did not
know any reference to this part of life,
which is without any doubt a large factor
in life today.
I do not know the figures, but 1 doubt
very much if there were that many
Canadians killed in World War II,
After reading the pamphlet, I feel now,
thatthis is one of the most important
points. I. should have thought of in my
writing about the topic, life.
