Jack's jottings from Ottawa
BY Jack Riddell, MPP
Opposition Party Financial
Critics responded to the
Provincial Budget this week.
Both parties were highly
critical of the Government's
lack of effective initiatives to
generate employment in the
Province.
Liberal Dayid Peterson
expressed concern that "the
Government had, to a great
extent, spent itself into such a
corner that it now has no
room to manoeuvre, par-
ticularly with respect to
stimulating an increase in job
opportunities to reduce the
present very high rate of
,_unemployment.
He stressed the need to give
greater assistance to the
small business sector which
employs 60 per cent of the
labour force, is labour -
O intensive, and can create new
jobs much more quickly and
cheaply than large capital-
* intensive industries. Small
business is flexible, able to
adapt quickly to changes in
the market, and possesses
great potential for
technological and other in-
novation.
The government's job
creation program leaves
* much to be desired. At a time
when unemployment in the
A* construction industry is
running at 19.2 per cent (as of
January this year), the 3,356
jobs to be created in the
construction sector, at a cost
of $22,500 each, represents
but a drop in the bucket.
This province is suffering
from the highest unem-
ployment in decades - 312,000
people unemployed in March
(a real rate of 7.9 per cent).
We are suffering from con-
tinuing high inflation, under -
utilization of our manufac-
turing industries, stagnation
in our miningindustry and
widespread lack of con:
fidence among consumers
and businessmen alike.
Mr. Peterson felt that the
single most serious defect in
the budget is failure to come
to grips with the energy
situation in this province.
Ontario has the highest per
capita consumption of.energy
in the world, and we must
analyze consumption in all
sectors, taking effective
measures to curb our annual
growth in demand which has,
historically, been ap-
proximately 5 per cent an-
nually.
We have proposed a
comprehensive compulsory
set of insulation standards for
all new buildings, and a
thermal upgrade, retrofitting
and insulation for all existing
structures. If existing
housing stock is brought up to
1975 federal standards - at a
cost of some $860 per unit, we
could save 36 per cent of our
residential heating bill, or the
equivalent of 824 million
gallons of oil - whi h means
$412 million dollars annually.
The cost could be capitalized

Dennis Martin was recently
appointed Assistant
Agricultural Representative
for Huron County. He suc-
ceeds Bill Broadworth who
was promoted to the position
of Agricultural Represen-
4ative for the district of
Thunder Bay.
Mr. Martin graduated
January 1975 from Cornell
University in Ithaca, NeW
York where'` he received his
honours degree in Animal
Science.
Dennis is a native of Bruce
County where his family
operates a beef farm.
Dennis worked the summer
of '74 with the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food broadcasting livestock
market reports with Market
Information Branch, Toronto.
In January '75 he started as
Assistant Agricultural
Representative in York
County and was in charge of
Dairy programs, Canfarm, 4-
H and Junior Farmers.
Dennis's interests include
sports (hockey), farming and
music.
and spread over a number of
years, and even though the
homeowner was paying for
insulation, when the cost was
set against the savings in
fuel, his total bill would 'be
less.
We need to have motor
vehicles licensed on the basis
of weight or on a formula
related to energy con-
sumption, not the number of
cylinders. We need a system
of tax credits for the in-
stallation of renewable
energy equipment; efficiency
standards for all energy
consuming devices, including
houses; and a rate structure
in both electricity and natural
gas which is progressive: i.e.
the more you use the more
you pay.
A time of day pricing
structure should be in-
troduced for hydro, to
discourage use in peak
periods - to assist in better
load management, and we
need programs to stimulate
the development and
•manufacture of renewable
energy devices here in
Ontario, as well as a federal -
provincial agency whose
mandate is to guarantee
Canadian energy supplies.
These energy proposals
would, if implemented, have
a very positive effect on
Ontario's economy, as well as
ensuring, to a great extent,
our future energy supplies.
Moreover, they have an
enormous potential for the
creation of jobs.
Both parties reviewed the
Province's present financial
status.

budget. Weak markets, high
costs and general un-
certainty, which have
plagued businessmen, have
resulted in a shortfall of $95
million in Corporate Income
Tax Revenue.
The budgetary deficit is
over budget, by $302 million,
net cash requirements, by
$158 million; net debt, by $212
million, net .non-public
borrowing, by $72 million.
Government occupational
health and safety programs
have been given an 83 per
cent budget increase for 1977-
78. The programs, drawn
from two other ministries and
now consolidated in the
Labour Ministry, after years
of criticism, have been given
an extra $8 million for a total
budget of $17.7 million 'this
year. Part of the budget is
$2.5 million from the
Provincial lottery fund and
will be used for applied
research on occupational
health and safety problems
and for helping universities
and community colleges train
more specialists in the field.
On March 3lst, Richard

Rewind/fast forward lock,
plus automatic replay—
and that's just the beginning
The KP -292 offers quality sound, responsive controls
and practical design in a single package plus special
automatic features for maximum driving convenience.
For instance, if you want to listen to a program again,
one click of the lever to the rewind position is the only
move you need to make. The lever stays locked in pose
tion until the tape is fully rewound and then it unlocks
automatically and the tape is played through again. The
same lever, which is a Pioneer exclusive design, gives you
full flexibility in program choice, too; use it to move
rapidly to a chosen section of the tape and then stop it
with a touch of the release button for tape play to re
start automatically. Cassette ejection 'and initial tape
play 'are automatic too, of course. And while you're
giving your best concentration to the driving, the
KP 292's advanced integrated circuitry keeps distortion
to a minimum and renders rich and faithful reproduc
tion of the music you choose to hear. Apart from the
sensitive balance and tone controls, Pioneer has pro
vided added sound versatility by incorporating a loud-
ness contour switch as well so you can get firm but
gentle tonal emphasis when listening at low volume.
Design? The package is sturdy enough to go wherever
you want to take it, yet so compact that it can be in-
stalled in even a limited space. So when you're going
places, share the work with Pioneer, you take care of
the driving and let the KP 292 take care of the music.
