Ch 3 10`[irL�Lt Hydro rate is concern By Jack Riddell MPP The recent announcement by Ontario Hydro of a 9.7 per- cent increase in electrical rates for 1984 raises a number of serious economic concerns and underlines the need -for a thorough examination by a Select Committee of the Legislature. Of major con- cern is Hydro's recent deci- sion to target its annual load growth to a rate over 3 per- cent, despite the fact that its latest load forecast has drop- ped to a rate of 2.1 percent through to the end of the cen- tury, and electrical energy consumption for 1982 actual- ly dropped to a negative growth rate of 0.8 percent. A major concern of the On- tario Energy Board last year was its inability to examine Ontario Hydro's capital ex- pansion program, which is the main culprit in skyrocketing electrical rates. There can be little doubt that Hydro rates must be brought into line with the govern- ment's 5 percent wage restraint program. As a first priority when this matter is referred to the. Ontario Energy Board for examina- tion by the Minister of 1 Energy, the Board should be instructed to review Ontario Hydo's proposed capital ex- pansion program. Liberal Environment Critic, Murray • Elston (Huron -Bruce) has written to the Minister of the Environ- ment on the issue of Dioxin in Ontario's Water Supply. He. pointed out that Dioxin represents a whole new generation of health con- . taminants in our drinking water,. that "it and many other harmful organic chemicals generated by our modern industries are toxic and insidious. They are often odourless and tasteless, and generally hard to detect. They can have serious effects even in ex- tremely low amounts tin the parts per trillion). And they are persistent, remaining decades in our living environ- ment, building up in strength and toxicity as more and more enter the environment. Their effects are not always immediate.

Dioxin is being discovered in increasing amounts in On- tario's environment - in herr- ing gull eggs, in trout, bass- and assand eel, in the tissue of a Kingston man, in Elmira ground water. in the raw drinking water supply of SI. Catharines and Niagara -on - the -Lake, in St. Clair River fish and in the stack emis- sions of SWARU's incinerator plant in Hamilton: Murray Elston has called upon the Ministry of the En- vironment to "take a number of steps now to head off what could become a 'Dioxin Plague". 1. Establish regular, ongo-i ing tests for harmful chemicals at the fresh water intakes of Ontario's drinking water treatment plants. 2. Carry out similar tests for trace amounts of the chemicals in the treated drinking water at each of the plants. 3. Establish a research and development program on new types of treatment systems for removing Dioxin and other chemicals. 4. Take steps to prevent Dioxin and other harmful chemicals from entering our aquatic systems. ( Millions of gallons of toxics continue to. be dumped into our land and water eco -systems with little or no remedial action being taken. ) 5. Support the legal action being taken by tv3o Canadian. groups ( Operation Clean - Niagara and Pollution Probe) in the U.S. to clean up the "S Area dumpsite in Niagara Falls, New York. which is suspected of leaking Dioxin into Lake Ontario. 6. Develop a Safe Drinking Water Act for the Province of Ontario which will determine safe levels and set standards which will protect Ontario's drinking water in the face of the growing chemical threat and the increasing "Dioxin Plague." . This week, Liberal Leader David Peterson called upon the Premier to give his per- sonal commitment once and for all to the ped of Ontario that his Gover ent will not impose user f for ward care in hospitals.

A million dollar beef operation: That was in 1978 when Ken Riddell was a guest on CBC Television's Country Canada. Today he's out of the business, selling at a four hun- dred thousand dollar loss. Then And Now, a three-part special series on Country Canada beginning Sunday, April 24 at 1:00 p.m. edt (1:30 ndt) looks back and asks the question, where are they now? Guests from the past return to bring viewers up to date, after one of the most dif- ficult economic times in Canadian history. Allen Wilford went on a starvation diet in jail to bring attention to the growing farm protest movement. Wilford, president of the Canadian Farm Survival Association, was arrested for his involve- ment in a '30s style penny auction held for a farmer threatened with foreclosure. We take a look at how the movement, created because of high interest rates, has grown over the years, and the effect of the recent publicity. In 1978, an economics pro- fessor from the University of Saskatchewan talked about the future of Canadian agriculture and what economic problems were on the horizon. That professor, Grant Devine, is now the Premier of Saskatchewan. He looks at the grain industry and how it will relate to the new Crow rate. The stories take view yrs to all regions of the country: to B.C. for a report on Prince Rupert's new grain terminal that will greatly increase Canada's capacity to export grain; to Nova Scotia to find out from Curtis Roache what it is like to be a sea captain; to the Niagara escarpment to meet Earl Muir, an indepen- dent fruitgrower competing with the multi -national fruit packers. Then And Now is a series of stories about people and their dreams. And, most important what has happened to those dreams. A secret is what you tell so- meone else not to tell because you can't keep it to yourself. does not intend "at present" to introduce fees similar to those being considered in Alberta and already in effect in British Columbia and New- foundland, combined with the Treasurer's recent musings that he personally favours such hospital fees reveal the ongoing debate within Cabinet on this method of financing our health cafe system. User fees would mean the gradual erosion of the univer- sal accessibility of health care. The sick, who in many cases are the elderly and the poor, must not undergo finan- cial hardship to receive medical attention. Ontario's record on health care financing does not com- pare well with her sister pro- vinces. This is ode of the very few provinces which charges premiums. The cost to the average family rose by $168.00 in the last two years and is the highest in Canada.
