Rental housing initiatives.
Municipal Affairs and
Housing Minister Claude Ben-
nett, announced that $25
million will go towards rental
housing initiatives to en-
courage development of new
housing and the preservation
of existing accommodation.
The $18.2 million Convert -
to -Rent Program is for the
conversion of non-residential
properties to rental
apartments.
The Minister also announc-
ed two demonstration pro-
grams. The first, a $5.5
million program will help
landlords upgrade major
systems, such as plumbing or
electrical in older apartment
buildings.
The other program with the.
amount of $1.2 million is ear-
marked to show the advan-
tages of duplexing, creating
about 150 new rental units in
existing single-family
housing.
The Convert -to -Rent pro-
gram is being launched in-
itially in Metro Toronto and
Ottawa. It offers 15 -year, in-
terest free loans of $7,000 per
unit to assist in the conversion
of non-residential buildings
such as warehouses, second -
floor space above stores and
vacant school property, to
moderate rent housing.
If the program is successful
in Toronto the Ministry will be
considering other
municipalities with a vacan-
cy rate of less than two
percent.
Municipal support is vital to
the success of the program
particularly with regards to
zoning flexibility.
Under the -first demonstra-
tion program, interest-free
loans of up to $7,000 per unit
will be available to assist in
the upgrading of major
systems in properties built
prior to 1955 in Toronto, Ot-
tawa, Hamilton and Thunder
Bay.
The other demonstration
program, dealing with hous-
ing congersions to produce
new rental units, will Involve
15 -year, interest-free loans to
qualified home owners in
Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton
and Thunder Bay. The
average loan will be $7,000 per
unit.
One and a half years after
the Ontario Government
made a $650 million "invest-
ment" in Suncor, the cost to
the Ontario taxpayer has in-
creased by almost $119
million. Each and every day
the Government continues to
hold its 25 percent share in the
company the loss rises.
Since the beginning of 1981,
interest costs on the purchase
price have totalled $139
million, while Ontario's one-
fourth share of earnings, in
the form of dividends paid
and increased equity, equals
$25 million.
The net loss through the se-
cond quarter of 1982 reached
$113,994,880 - more than the
Ontario Government will
spend on the entire COED job
creation program.
Sunc.or's recent press
release boasts earnings are
up over the first six months of
1982 - it lumps the first two
quarters together to try to
disguise a second quarter
drop in performance. Second
quarter earnings were $18.3
million, a 19 percent decline
from the previous quarter.
The Minister of Agriculture
and Food Dennis Timbr Il an-
nounced that $83,329 in grants
t+ire awarded to 17 Ontario
Fruit and vegetable growers
and packers. The Minister
said the grants are incentives
to help the growers and
packers expand and improve
their operations. The reci-
pients have personally in-
vested another $166,658 in the
various projects.
The grants cover one-third
of the cost of new or
