Times-Advocate, 1982-06-30, Page 5cettatch =PING CENTRE 370 Main St., Exeter 235-2162 11 Sy Jock 1141.1.11 MPP 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 4 -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 "FRESH Bread, Rolls, Pastries, and Donuts Over 60 Kinds of Canadian & Imported Cheese T NU BAKERY &CHEESE HOUSE Exeter 235-0332 Zurich 236-4912 Seaforth 527-1803 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.
