Times-Advocate, 1978-11-09, Page 34 (2)Page 34 Times-44vocate, November 9, 1978 By JACK RIDDELL MPP Huron -Middlesex Legislation introduced by the Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations. Mr. Frank Drea. proposes retention of -rent controls, at the present 6 ceiling, until the end of 1980. although it has been indicated that Cabinet could decide at the end of 1979' wheth'er- economic conditions justifiea a change in the ceil- ing. .Under the proposed legislation. units renting for 1500 o: -more a month would be exempt from controls after the end of 1979,. In buildings with six or fewer units, landlords and tenants could agree to an increase of more than 6`, with the ap- proval of a provincial com- mission. • Opposition- parties have been critical of the exemp- tions. suggesting that the position of tenants would be weakened. In an interview. Liberal Leader Stuart S:nith said that he supported the principal of extending rent control and likes the simple wording of the bill. the provision for standard leases and the residential tenancies commission which would amalgamate the powers and responsibilities of. rent review officers. landlord -tenant advisory bureaus and small claims and county courts. However. he expressed concern about the special provision for apartments of six.units or less and is skep- tical 4bout exempting Rent controls tenants in "so-called luxury units". • The legislatiop foes not apply to housing owned or managed by government. buildings not occupied before January 1976 or mobile homes not in ex- istence before that date. There has been con- siderable debate on. the sub- ject of a•bill which would restrict Quebec employees from working in Ontario. Speaking in that debate, Albert Roy 1 Ottawa East) pointed out that a Quebec regulation restricting On- tario . construction employees from holding _ jobs in Quebec is creating a border along the Ottawa River where none used to exist, and "It is with sadness in fact that we have to support this legislation in principle" - He condemned the Quebec government for creating. by the legislation. a barrier to free access to employment. opportunities for Ontario citizens. The Minister of Labour. Dr. Robert Elgie, in the debate stated "'It is no secret that Ontario's con- cern has been prompted by what this government regards as unfair and dis- criminatry features ..of Quebec's regulation This legislation was originally introduced last June. and at that time. On- tario urged the federal government to challenge the constitutionality of the Quebec rule in the Supreme Court. No such action has been taken by the federal government and negotiations bet'veen On- tario add Quebec have prov- ed in.vain. "Accordingly. we have no alternative but to proceed with the legislation".. said the Minister The bill emoowers the IN EXETER C•1•1. 11 Eal) • 4 tenor Paint is., FLAT ENAMEL.

Possibly Ottawa coulll be designated as an area where construction workers must be Ontario residents. You will recall that last November a counsellor at an institution for the mentally retarded was fired and sub- sequently convicted of assaulting a 29 -year old woman while she was kneel- ing in a punishment position for allegedly stealing food. However, a grievance settlement board ordered that he be reinstated, saying that the a'sault was the result of '•hdrseplav". In the Legislature/ the Minister said the counsellor would go back to his job at the Huronia institution, but he vowed he would be "under constant and direct supervi- sion of a superior residential counsellor until such time as a more satisfactory solution can be found". Instead of returning the counsellor.to his counselling job. the ministry had' put him to work at the same salary leve] in the in- stitution's laundry room. The union challenged that Move: asking that ministry officials be jailed for con- tempt. A union spokesman also said in an interview that the union would 'be "monitoring the monitors" to see whether such direct supervision constitutes harrassment or persecution. The Minister. Keith Nor- ton. has introduced a bill which would rescind the grievance board's decision and order a new hearing. If passed. this bill would set -a precedent iri Canadian labour law because it would invalidate the grievance board's decision. Pending consultation with union officials is another bill - which would give ,the government power to fire without recourse any employee convicted of using force on residents of a provincially run institution This legislation could be retroactive. The Deputy Minister of Community and Social Ser- vices, Mr. Robert Carman, has been found guilty of coh- tempt of court for refusing to reinstate the counsellor.
