Amendments to the High-
way Traffic Act have been
announced in the Legislature
this week. Speed limits will be
reduced on the Province's
Highways, from 70 miles per
hour to 60 miles per .hour on
the expressways andirom 60
miles to 50 miles on other
highways: Legislation is not
necessary for the reduction of
speed limits, and the new
limits will be lin effect as soon
as the view signs can be
erected, which officials
estimate will be within a
month.
The Premier, in an-
nouncing these amendments,.
said they were proposed'
because of the two majOr
problems facing Canadians
today. They are the energy
crisis and the soaring number
of dea,ths and injuries
resulting from traffic • ac-
cidents. The Premier said
that our • consumption, of
motor, fuels has reached a
staggering 3.8 billion gallons
annually, while over 1200
people die 'in motor vehicle
accidents every 12 months. It
also costs an estimated $90
million annually in direct
OHIP charges alone for
medical treatment for the
in Jured.
The minister of trans
sportation and com-
munications introduced
further amendment to the
Highway Traffic,AAct, which
will require the mandatory
use of seat belts in all motor
vehicles. Exemptions will be
provided, for' such situations
as children under 2 years of
age, persons holding a
physician's certificate stating
• the reason they are unable to
wear,a seat belt and persons
required by the nature of
their work to enter and.leave
their vehicles frequently.
People convicted of breaking
the law will be liable,to a fine
of from $20 to $100.
Ottawa -Liberal MPP Albert
Roy has twice introduced,,,a
Private Member's Bill to
provide mandatory seat belt
use, . and the Government's
legislation is very similar to
his ;proposed amendment, to
the Highway Traffic Act.
Metropolitan Toronto high
school teachers are still on'
strike, in spite of attempts*
parents and students to
persuade them to return to
the , classrooms. There is
V , some speculation that the
Education Relations Com-
mission will intervene. This
"three member Commission,
appointed less than . four
° months . ago under the new
teacher collective bargaining
'legislation, is expected to be
under increasing prtslt11e
from parents : who fear
children will become victims
of a bitter labour dispute.
The legislation also
provides' two other options -
• binding arbitration and final
offer selection, in which an
independent third party
selects the final contract.
position of either the'board or
the teachers. The striking
teachers maintain that they
are frustrated, confused and
unhappy because they lack
the respect of the public, the
media and their employers -
the city and five borough
school boards.
Their frustration has been
mounting for five years . -

since the introduction of
provincial spending limits on
education, which led to larger
classes and heavier • work
loads.
Sources of energy have
been very much in the news
recently. All home heating
bills - for oil, gas or electricity
- are expected to increase
quite considerably this
winter, by ;� etween 13 percent
and 29 :percent. Also, the
provinci energy minister
has w . ned that natural gas
to heap swimming pools, run
air conditioning or gas
lighting may have to be
rationed if shortages occur,
although he stressed that
domestic consumers will be
given priority.
He has,•.however, indicated
that any shortages will not
last very long providing new
supplies from the North
become ' available. The
minister has resisted op-
position calls for new Ontario
controls on • gasoline prices,
whilst not entirely ruling out
the possibility of r a further
price freeze, with penalties, if
"too many" operators raise
prices 'by more than 5.4 cents
a gallon 'recommended by
Government:
In > esponse to a question by
Ian Deans, NFP Member for
Wentworth, the Premier`
outlined the Ontario Careers
Action , . Program. This
program will provide 1050
jobs for unemployment
persons between the ages of
16 and 24,• who can be high
school drop -outs, or persons
from high schools as well as
university . graduates. They,
must register with Canada
Manpower centres. These
trainees will be paid $100. a
week to a maximilm of 52
weeks and will work under
special contracts. ,They will.
not have the status as, civil
servants and will not be
eligible for employee
benefits.
, It is hoped that the first
,pilot group of trainees will.be
encouraged to seek outside
employment and to this..end
there - has been close co-
operation between the
ministry of colleges , and
universities + which is in
charge of the , program and
Canada Manpower.
During the second 'reading
.debate on the government's
rent control legislation,
Opposition memrbers
maintained. that the proposed
controls are, unlikely to be
lifted as scheduled -on August
1, 1977. Liberal Leader
Robert Nixon said he would
have liked the legislation to
contain a'provision removing
controls in communities
where the apartment
vacancy rate reached 3
percent. "But it seems that
with the growth of com-
munities, particularly urban
communities, ,this rent
control is a responsibility
which the House must ac-
cept."
In his opinion "Anybody
who thinks this sort of
legislation is going to be
sloughed off with the
resurgence .of ,the free en-
terprise system is, of course,
in error." He also predicted
that the government will have
to accept an increasing role in
providing funds for housing
because existing government
•
programs have failed to
persuade enough private
sector builders to meet
housing needs.
