In his report to the Legislature this week, on the flood crisis in Southwestern Ontario over the past weekend, the Minister of Natural Resources, Leo Bernier said the intense storm that moved across southern Ontario, poured down from 1 to 1.5 inches of rain in most areas with a few locations getting as much as 2 inches. This rainfall combined with the melting of heavy snow packs in the snowbelt area in Grey, Dufferin •and Wellington counties made for some very high levels on the rivers. On some rivers the flows were the highest • recorded in more than 20 years. The Minister said that the co- ordinated effect of preplanning for flood control, awareness of flood prone areas, the alerting of conservation authority staff and municipal officials involved. as well as the co-operation of the general public and ensuring the availability of equipment, all played a major part in keeping flood damage to the minimum. Bernier stated that the flood damage was relatively light but that he fully appreciated the difficulties some residents had suffered especially those living close to the flood plain areas. The major damage problem seemed to be the flooding of house basements and the first floor level of factories built on the flood plain. The Minister reported that more severe damage was prevented because of steps taken in advance. His Ministry warned all conservation authorities earlier this year about the im- pending seasonal crisis situation. When the storm struck Friday afternoon the Ministry alerted conservation authorities and municipal officials, therefore, the flood danger was well anticiapted by all responsible parties. As for the outlook for the im- mediate future. Mr. Bernier said, according to the conservation authorities branch experts, in Southwestern Ontario the flood water has reached the Great Lakes or is approaching them. or has subsided throughout the area and because no precipitation was expected, flows on all rivers were expected to return to normal quite soon,and no problems were anticipated in the near future. Robert Nixon, Leader of the Opposition, asked the Minister of Natural Resources whether he could assure the residents of those communities that suffered flood damage that the assistance programme approved a year ago t will be in force this year. at least that level of assistance, so they can be assured they were going to have the same kind assistance for home damage and business damage. Bernier replied that when a full report from all those areas where flooding did occur was received, then he will take it to the government for that decision. In a statement made in the Legislature by the Provincial Secretary of Resources Development. Allan Grossman said that a new approach to protect Ontario workers and residents from occupational and environmental health hazards caused by industrial activities is being initiated by the Govern- ment. Recognizing that em- ployers, workers, unions, com- munity groups and government are all responsible in achieving Flood crisis successful protective and preventative measures, an ad- visory council on occupational and environmental health matters will be established. This body will provide the formal mechanism for industry, labour and other interested parties to advise government on health hazards as well as to recommend new policies and programmes. It will assist the government in defining how health safeguards can be engineered into plants at the design state and it will be a central reference source for public information about all aspects of occupational and environmental health. The Minister of Health, Mr. Miller, to whom the advisory council will report, will be an- nouncing further details on the structure, membership and responsibilities of the advisor council on occupational and environmental health, to ensure that it is a strong voice in future programmes. Grossman stated that the Government is moving to strengthen its own activities in occupational and environmental health. Greater emphasis will be placed on the prevention of known health hazards through the setting of guidelines and the search for unknown health hazards in industrial processes. The ;Ministry of Health will have clearly delineated responsibilities to assure that standards are properly applied. The decision to assign standard setting and applied research to the Ministry of Health clarified which ministry is primarily responsible for determining the effects of industrial emissions on human physiology although the Ministry of Health will consult with other agencies. The Ministry of Health will publish every year its guidelines on in -plant emissions and out-of- door ambient conditions. This annual disclosure of information will mean that industry and labour are fully aware of ap- plicable standards. Ministries and government agencies will incorporate these official stan- dards in appropriate legislation and regulations. The responsibility of in- specting, monitoring and en- forcing health standards outside the plant Mr. Grossman said, remained with the Ministry of Environment. Because health hazards from industrial processes in some cases take as long as 20 to 30 years to show up in humans, ways are being examined of requiring the employers in specified industries, including mining, chemicals. and other companies currently using known hazardous substances, to keep records on employees. Such records will include, the type of work performed, the em- ployment location in the plant and the equipment used. The Legislature has been debating the bills concerning the changes in the provincial tax structure announced in the recent budget, such as the reduction of he Retail Sales Tax from 7 percent to 5 percent which is only applicable until the 31st December, 1975. Removal of the sales tax on production machinery and equipment was discussed at some length and Liberal M.P.P. Ray Haggerty proposed an amend- ment to the effect that machinery and equipment imported into Canada should be subject to taxation. if similar machinery and equipment. to be used for the , same purposes, can be manufactured in this country. This amendment was not ac- cepted. although the Minister indicated that it had considerable merit. There were considerable discussions on the subject of the part-time Justices of the Peace. Ontario Attorney General, John Cement told the Legislature,that there are some 648 qualified part- time JPs in the Province, paid on . a fee basis for their services. Ile said that 394 filed claims for payment in 1973-74 and five were paid more than $20,000. One JP in the Brampton area was paid $30.000. and Mr. Clement said that he will consider appointing a full-time official, which would probably be cheaper than paying a part-time justice who works long hours. ' • Albert Roy, Liberal Member for Ottawa East, pointed out that in the view of the former Ontario Chief Justice, James McRuer, expressed in his 1968 report on civil rights,' Justices of the Peace paid by fees must remain on good terms with police to"promote and maintain business: and that Mr. McRuer had recommended that all Justices of the Peace be paid by salary so that they could not make more money by swearing more information on minor of- fences. The Ontario Lottery is proving very popular. Of the 2360,000 tickets printed for the first draw on May 15. 1,620,000 have already been sold out. It is hoped the Lottery will raise $100 million in three years. It was pointed out by the Opposition Members, however, that the real winners of the Ontario lottery will be the official distributors of the tickets. Mr. Richard Smith. Liberal Member for Nipissing, told the Legislature of a distributor in Northern Ontario, who stands to realize a profit of $3,500 every two weeks or about $85,000 per year. Liberal Member Albert Roy objected to a distributor in his area who is not even an Ontario resident who stands to make about $100,000 a year from distributing tickets.
