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. Years pass by

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

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.
The Minister of Health's

Where are
they now?
He thought he had it all. 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.
