As you know, wehave final-
ly won the fight to have the
changes in the Retail Sales
Tax sent to committee for
public hearings and detailed
discussion. The Committee
meetings will run from June
23 to July 8.
We fought hard to have the
legislation sent to committee,
debating extensively govern-
ment borrowing legislation
and a crucial supply bill
which authorizes all spending
for the next six months.
As Liberal Leader David
Peterson has pointed out,
there is a great deal of confu-
sion and unhappiness about
the provincial budget and the
government's concession to
pave the way for a newer and
more open budget process.
Post -secondary funding
The Minister of Colleges
and Universities, Dr. Bette
Stephenson has announced
that seven Ontario Univer-
sities will receive some $5
million in grants for research
equipment.
These funds will go towards
purchasing wind tunnels, of-
fice automation and com-
munications research equip-
ach 3 'otfinad

-J.' Opposition wins battle
ment, optical equipmeni for
ore deposit research, a com-
puter graphics laboratory and
other high-technology
equipment.
Ottawa's Carleton Univer-
sity will get 8270,000, Guelph
University $466,900,
McMaster 8348,000, Queen's
$462,400, the University of
Toronto $1 million, the
University of Waterloo 81.8
million, and the University of
Western Ontario in London
$620,000.
O111P - extra billing
According to the Minister of
Health, Larry Grossman,
within a few months any
physician who charges more
than the OHIP fee schedule
without notifying his patient
in advance will be liable to a
charge of professional
misconduct.
The College of Physicians,
and Surgeons has been in-
formed that a change in the
regulations of the Health
Disciplines Act can be ex-
pected, and will take effect no
later than 60 days after it's
submitted to the college.
This change will, in effect,
give legal force to a 1979
agreement between the On-
tario Medical Association and
the Ministry, which has often
been cited as a means of solv-
ing the problems of extra
billing.
Bancroft mine
According to a union
spokesman, the Provincial
Government would actually
save money if it gave part of

a uranium contract to
Madawaska Mines Ltd. in
stead of allowing the mine in
Bancroft to close, losing hun-
dreds of jobs.
He claimed that by the time
the province has paid welfare
and other benefits to men who
become unemployed when the
mine closes, it will be more
expensive than paying a little
more for uranium from the
Ontario company.
Recently, Ontario Hydro
decided to make new uranium
purchases from Northern
Saskatchewan instead of
from the Bancroft mine,
because the Madawaska con-
tract would have cost about
$50 million more than the
Saskatchewan deal... or so
stated a Hydro spokesman.
Liberal MPP John Eakins
(Victoria-Haliburton) told the
Legislature that the dif-
ference in cost between the
Madawaska and the Saskat-
chewan deal is $10.2 million,
and the cost of closing the
mine could easily amount to
$5 million in the first year.
and Food reported on the
• Farm Adjustment Assistance
Program in the Legislature
this week. The $60 million
financial Assistance program
began operating early in
January. The Minister said
that more than 1,100 Ontario
farmers are being helped by
OFAAP.
Thus far the program has
deferred interest payments
on loans totalling $267,768, has
authorized interest rebates on
eligible lines of credit totall-
ing 8226,291,384, and has
guaranteed new lines of credit
with a total of $21,872,637.
Almost half of the farmers
receiving assistance are
under 35 years of age while
more than 80 per cent are
under 45.
The Counties where the
greatest activity under
OFAAP has taken place are:
Bruce, Grey, Huron, Mid-
dlesex, Elgin, Lambton, Kent,
Wellington and Perth.
Although applicants may
qualify with farm production
value of only 812,000, in fact 85
percent have an annual farm
production value of 850,000 or
more.
The Minister said that the
program would not be possi-
ble without the full co-
operation of the lending in-
stitutions. The program will
be in full swing all year long.
More on sales tax
The Minister of Revenue,
George Ashe apparently
wants to write a regulation to
make it clear that all
prepared foods, whether they
be purchased at a fast-food
outlet or a grocery store, will
be taxed. It is his intention to
study the situation created by
sales tax changes in the May
13th budget, because of confu-
sion over what prepared foods
are subject to tax.
Defoliant spray
Liberal Environment Critic
Murray Elston (MPP Huron -
Bruce) has raised the matter
of the defoliant Tordon 101
which is being sprayed near
Sault Ste. Marie, in spite of
the fact that its safety has not
been verified.
The controversial spraying
is being done.by Great Lakes
Power Ltd. over an area of
some 40 hectares between the
communities of Echo Bay, 20
kilometres East of the Sault,
and Bruce Mines, 50
kilometres East of the city. It
seems the company also
plans to useJordon pellets to
defoliate about 400 hectares in
the Montreal River area.
The area where Torden 101
is being sprayed is a
residential -farming area,
although the federal Depart-
ment of Agriculture recom-
mends that is not be used near
agricultural lands.
