Jottings from Queen's Park
BY JACK RIDDELL,
M.P.P.
The heated debate on in-
creased OHIP premiums
continues. Both Opposition
Parties have approved a
motion demanding that the
government drop its planned
37.5 percent increase for the
rest of the year and come up
with an alternative method of
raising the necessary
revenue. The Treasurer
refused to back away from
his Budget increase, only
making a small concession
with respect to people at the
"notch", with incomes a little
above the level where they
would qualify for premium
assistance. Unless a com-
promise can be reached
between the Opposition
demands and the Govern-
ment's stand, a non-
confidence motion will be
moved.
Liberal Leader Stuart
Smith has proposed a plan to
draw the $271 million the
Government needs from six
areas: limiting the OHIP
increase to six percent ($51
million); using provincial
lottery funds ($38 million);
cutting the fat in this year's
Wsinistry of Health budget
timates ($50 million)
forcing the Government to
implement its four percent
limit for salaries and wage
settlements ($67 million) ;
cutting Government spending
on services such as public
relations, consultants and
printing ($24 million) ; in-
creasing the corporate in-
come tax by 0.5 percent to
12.5 • percent for most
businesses ($41 million).
A six percent increase will
mean a monthly premium of
$17 instead of $16 for single
subscribers and $34 instead of
$32 for family subscribers.
The Treasurer's budget plan
would mean premiums of $22
and $44 respectively.
PROPERTY TAX REFORM
The Provincial -Local
Government Committee on
Property Tax Reform has
submitted its recom-
mendations on the
Treasurer's "Alternative
System" to Cabinet. We have
some reservations about the
committee's recom-
mendations. Small
businesses throughout the
province will be especially
hard hit. There is a danger
that small retail merchants
will be driven out of business.
The committee's proposal for
a business tax credit or
rebate, based on need, might
lessen the blow - if im-
plemented. While we are
pleased that the committee
has recognized the problem,
its solution is vague.
It seems illogical to treat
farm residences separately
from farmland and farm
buildings. This is also in-
consistent with the Gover-
nment's policy of limiting
severances to safeguard
prime agricultural land. A
farmer's control of his land
would be undercut if the
Province pays 100 percent of
taxes on farmland and farm
buildings. In addition, market
value will mean highly in-
flated assessment on urban
fringe agricultural land.
HOME BUYERS
GRANT SCHEME
The Minister of Revenue, in
response to a Question in the
House, has stated that under
the Government's first home
buyers grant scheme,
brought in prior to the 1975
election, some 3.5 million in
public funds was given out to
people who did not really
qualify for the $1,500 subsidy.
All applications have now
been audited, and ap-
proximately three percent of
almost 100,000 applicants
receive grants to which they
were not entitled. As of
March 31, 1978, some of this
money had been collected,
some was in the process of
being collected. The Minister
anticipated that the recovery
phase will continue for some
time before all collections are
finalized.
You will recall that under
the program, people who had
never owned a home qualified
for a $1,000 grant, followed by
$250 grants on the first and
second anniversaries of the
day they bought their home.
The program was in effect
until December 31, 1975, but
some of the $250 payments
were still going out at the end
of 1977.

HYDRO PROPOSAL
The Provincial Govern-
ment has accepted a proposal
from Ontario Hydro to scrap
two of four planned
generating units at the oil-
fired Wesleyville Generating
Station near Port Hope. In the
short run, this proposal in-
volves raising power rates
slightly to save $400 million in
capital costs, and trim back
Hydro's long term system
expansion program. The
Minister of Energy, an-
nouncing the decision, stated
that even without the two 550
megawatt units, Hydro will
have nearly 1,000 megawatts
more generating capacity
than it needs between 1981
and 1985 and will be asked to
negotiate sale of the surplus
to other utilities.
Questioned in the House by
Liberal Leader Stuart Smith,
who said current Hydro load
forecasts indicate an "excess
reserve" of 3,000 megawatts
by 1986, the Minister main-
tained that a cut that large
"at this particular stage in
our history would result in the
loss of thousands and
thousands of jobs in this
province." Dr. Smith asked
why the Minister was
"creating capacity we may
well not need instead of using.,
that money now to recreate
high technology industry in
this province and using that
money in the private sector
where it can create jobs."
WANT SUBJECTS
MADE MANDATORY
The Ministries of Education
and Colleges and Universities
have submitted a working
paper to educational in-
stitutions in Ontario, which
includes proposals affecting
the preparation and tran-
sition of students from high
schools to post -secondary
institutions. The two
Ministries want certain
subjects made mandatory in
Grade 13 as necessary
preparation for university.
They include a choice of one
of three pairs: English or
French and another
language, math and science
pr math combined with
English or French. The
Ministry of Education wants
to establish achievement
tests in English or French for
all Grade 13 students and an
exam for those enrolled in one
or more math courses.

Hear Gospel in music
A very dedicated family
will soon be appearing in
Bethel Pentecostal Taber-
nacle, Goderich. The Singing
Deweys, from Nashville,
Tennessee will be
ministering the Gospel in
music and sharing personal
testimonies of God's ongoing
work around the world at 7:30
p.m. Wednesday, May, 3, at
Bethel.
The Dewey family, con-
sisting of Levoy and Cleon
and their two daughters,
Cindy and Susie, has
travelled for many years to
churches across the United
States, Canada, and Panama,
Central America. They travel
over three hundred days a
year, and in the past several
years have tithed their time
on the mission field, working
either with the American
Indians or on the foreign
field.
Audiences have been
moved by their singing, God
has blessed greatly in the
form of healings, • and over
10,000 people have dedicated
their lives to Christ as a result
of the Deweys' ministry.
The Deweys feel definitely
called of God to minister
through song and testimony
and base this sharing on the
Scriptures of Revelation
12:11, " ... and they were
overcomers by the blood of
the Lamb, and the word of
their testimony."
The personal testimonies
are numerous; God has
worked many miracles in
their lives in the form of
physical healings and the
meeting of financial needs.
In 1967, when they first
started travelling and
ministering with Tim and
Sheryl Dewey, they were
trus'ticig solely in God for His
strength. Just before they left
Springfield, Missouri, the
doctors had told Cleon that
she had grand mal epilepsy.
That meant no stress, no
strain, and no travellinp
