been directed to step up
enforcement of the seat belt
legislation.
Citing a decline in seat belt

indicated that a program of
public education had failed
to convince the public that
they should use seat belts. It
was indicated in the an-

legislation was passed in
1976.

' HOSPITALS
Bill 11,13` introduced by
Dennis Timbrell, the
minister of health, which is
designed to give the
governmentsweeping
powers to step in and vir-
tually take over any hospital
it wants, has been met by
strong opposition.
Originally introduced by
the minister to deal, he said,
with the' Toronto East
General hospital matter, the
bill has general application
to all hospitals in Ontario,
not just Toronto East
General.
The opposition has agreed
to pass legislation to deal
specifically with the Toronto
East General situation if the
minister wants, but have
demanded that the minister
not use the Toronto situation
to put legislation in place
that would allow government
takeoi+er of any hospital
which, in the government's
opinion, was not performing
properly.
Conceivably, the legisla-
tion could be used in the
cases like the ones which
arose at Wingham, 'Clinton,
Seaforth and elsewhere
when local board people
reacted unfavorably to the
ministry bed closure an-
nouncements. This legis-
lation cannot be supported if
one wants to protect the
rights of local people to
govern their local institu-
tions.
Even the proposed
amendments to be sponsored
by Minister Timbrell have
not gone far enough to
alleviate concerns. The
'Ontario Medical Association
has termed them "a
cosmetic gesture".
CENSORSHIP

and commercial relations
has announced censorship

ADVISORY" BOARDS
It may well be that 'about
80 provincial advisory
agencies,, such as the Ontalri0
Economic , Council,' could
soon be abolished under a
new "sunset" review policy.
The government's
agencies review committee
listed in its report some 79
agencies which could be
scrapped over a three-year
period beginning in 1982. The
object of the sunset review
"is to ensure effectiveness
and efficiency in the con-
tribution of these bodies to
the overall policy and
program formulation
process" according to the
report.
While all agencies will be
reviewed, only those "which
are no longer needed" will be
abolished, The minister
responsible for a particular
agency will be required to
review its functions at least
once every five years to
determine if it should be
abolished, then take his
decision to cabinet for ap-
proval.
In addition; a sunset clause
will be included in any
legislation or order -in -
council creating a new ad-
visory agency. .
Most, government advisory
agencies rieet only
sporadically, paying their
members on a per -diem
basis, but a few have full-
time salaried staff. The
Ontario Economic Council,
the Ontario Status of Women
Council, and the Adivisory
Committee on Con-
federation, could be phased
out next year, the• report
suggests.
The 3500• uniformed volun-
teers in the St. John Ambu-
lance Brigade in Ontario
offer invaluable service to
their communities by pro-
viding First Aid protection at
community events.
