BY MU.RRA'.Y .STON, P QUl The Ontario Legislature has adjourned for the summer recess. During the 11 -week spring session, some 30 pieces of legislation re- ceived final reading. In a normal session, ap- proximately 80 bills usually are passed, but there was a late beginning to legislative business due to the March 19 provincial election. In ad- dition, opposition to the ad valorem gas tax bill further delayed business as 30 MPPs spoke against the bill, arguing that the rising tax is an undue burden on the already -high price of energy. Nevertheless, using the weight of its 70 -seat majority, the government pushed through the bill. Other legislation passed during the session included bills to: —empower the health ministry to appoint a super- visor to run any public hospital, as has been done at Toronto East General; —establish the Ontario Waste Management Cor- poration to run an industrial liquid waste facility at South Cayuga; —increase personal in- come taxes in Ontario by nine per cent ; — prevent the eviction of Toronto Island residents until at least the end of the year, or until a permanent solution can be found; — increase Workmen's Compensation benefits, retroactive to July 1, 1979, over a two-year period by nine and 10 per cent; —allow Ontario Hydro to sell steam energy. RENT REVIEW The matter of landlords of buildings exempted from Ontario's rent control legislation luring tenants with low rents and then gouging' them with big in- creases the second year has been raised in the Legislature. It has been charged that this "loss leader" method is being practiced in many apartment units built after 1976, especially in many of . the newer areas such as Scarborough, Rexdale and Mississauga. The minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations ark Contends the problelnL is even worse in the downtown areas, where demand or apartments is_greater. In an effort to clear" up -the backlog of 1,3oo cases, rent review hearing officers from other parts of the province are to be brought to Metro. The current six per cent increase level has not been changed yet, although the government has indicated changes are coming.` CULT. STUDY Liberal. MPP John Sweeney (Kitchener - Wilmot) has stated • that because the Ontario govern- ment has refused to 'act against mind development groups, the province is being deluged by such cults. The attorney general responded by saying that while no legislation has been implemented since Daniel Hill's report 'on cults was completed, the study has contributed to public awareness. Government response has been delayed by police investigation. CENSOR BOARD The Ontario government has plans to change the censor board. Civil servants currently on the board are to Re by replaced. HHwever Oree °leathers of the heard whom were crib al oL ; . ,hoard fid Policies have been the only people to We their Mebs. One other member who was no't critical of theboard policy ' remains in plade. RE -MOR INVESTM)$NTS After ,months off unrelenting oritieism over its regulation of Re -Mor Investment Management Corporation, the Ontario government is polling the public for attitudes on the licencing of financial insti- tutions. The poll result "will foun an important basis for What we will ultimately decide in terms of amendments to the Mortgage Brokers Act and the Loan and Trust . Cor- porations Act," said the minister concerned. Results of the $111,000 poli, which is midway to com- pletion, will be presented to the Legislature in October, when MPPs review the operations of the Consumer Ministry. This will be my last release until the House reconvenes in October. I wish all readers a very happy summer.
