The new l+egisltitian IS hinged to tha. federal Stabilization Pia which rants fanners up to 90 percent of the average of the last five years"' prices on certain named commodities. +Ober commodities under the Federal Plan can be designated for a price guarantee of up to 90 percent in - any, one year pending thee. decision of the Federal Government after taking into consideration the existing market price and the effect that the price would have on producers and future production. Under the proposed legislation the Province will add another five per cent on to the Federal Plan guaranteeing 95 per cent on named commodities under the Federal. Plan which must be supported to a level of at lea ' 90 per cent. But for any commodity that ;.is not covered to the 90 per cent level •by Ottawa, the Ontario .Plan ,willtsimply add another ve per cent et that :last live years' average,market price of that i ommodity - to the prevailing market price. For all commodities the Ontario Plan supports the difference between 90 per cent of the five year average price and 95 per cent of the five year average price. This is satisfactory for commodities named under the Federal Stabilization es `? supl evel Must be 95 per cent of he. five year averageprice adjusted forchanges la some input coats..

When introducing the Family Law Reform Acta 1976, the Attorney General, the Honourable Rose McMurtry said that the existing common and statute law has failed to keep pace with the challenges of modern family life. He said that the new Bill sweeps away the ramshackle structures of the law governing matrimonial property and support obligations in a marriage breakdown situation. The bill contains new rights available ilyy ho �anci ke) public wet ere for cumof, law claim. support right + f do erg - only east two years bill comprises five cohabitation F ;1 rts, each dealing with Part three Of theFamily distinct though related Reform Act, 197a, provides subject rea% rules for insuring that the Part One deals with thematrimonial home is not division of family assets dealt with by one spouse so as between the spouses where to deprive they other or the the Marriage breakdown -children of a borne. This part The basic rule in that ::� rovides security for the occurs..,�,p is that family assets will be divided equally between the spouses, Family assets which comprise property owned by either or both spouses, the things that a family use together as a family, would be shared . equally by the ..uses on a marriage break- down regardless who had bought the property and irrespective of which spouse held legal title. Part two concerns the obligations of spouses to support each other and their children, whether born within or outside -of marriage, and of children to support their parents in accordance with the needs and capacity of each party. This part also creates a limited obligation of •;"one common law spouse to support the other. Where two persons lived together as if married, one person frequently becomes dep.eident on the other. especially if there is a child of the union. If one of these two people is no long r self- sufficient, it is reasonable to look to the other to assist in restoring him or her to financial independence. . Mr. McMurtry said it was more desirable to place a support obligation on corn - members at the family by requiring that both spouses join in any sale or mortgage of .the matrimonial home. The family'sright to shelter is protected against the unilateral .act of either husbandor wife. Provision i s on is also made for either spouse to obtain an order to exclusive. possession of the home and its contents, where financial support alone would be inadequate. Part Four of the Bill per- mits spouses to enter into comprehensive marriage contracts covering . their respective rights to property, support, custody . and education of children and any other matters arising during their marriage or on an eventual marriage break- ifown.. A marriage contract could prevail over any of the provisions of the Act 'except where it limited a spousO's rights in the matrimoni home or reduced a spouse io dependence ' on welfare or included provisions contrary to the best interests of the children of the marriage.
