Allan Grossman, Provincial
Secretary for Resources Develop4
ment, announced in the Legis-
lature that stricter laws on
snowmobiling will be introduced
He said the Government will
establish an extensive network
of recreational trails throughout
the Province. In some cases
these trails will be restricted to
a specific use and in other cases
the trails will be identified for
multiple use where the enjoy-
ment of these lands by different
groups is compatible. The
Government will establish a
Trails Council. The initial task
of the council will be an inven-
tory of existing trails and rec-
ommendations on the develop-
ment of a broader trail network.
Mx. Grossman also said the
government will introduce
amendments this session to the
Motorized Snow Vehicles Act
dealing with trespass and liabil-
ity.
With respect to the issue of
trespassing, Mr. Grossman
said the Government will Duple
ment legislation which will
require the operator of a snow-
mobile to obtain written per-
mission froni the owner or occu-
pier of private property before
he enters that property . Fail-
ure to obtain written permiss-
ion will represent a provincial
offence of tresspass in the ab-
sence of any lawful excuse.
On the issue of liability, Mr.
Grossman said a property owner
should not be liable for injuries
sustained by a trespasser. There
fore, legislation will be enact-
ed which will ensure that the
property owner or occupier is
not liable for injury to a snow-
mobiler who is a trespasser,
except for wilful or malicious
injury.
In addition, legislation will
be enacted where the property
owner or occupier has given
written permission to the snow-
mobiler to be on the property,
the property owner or occupier
would only be liable if wilful
or malicious harm can be est-
ablished.
Liberal Leader Robert Nixon
asked the Minister of Agricult-
ure if, in view of the further
substantial increase in the cost
of sugar, negotiations are cont-
inuing between the Provincial
Government and Federal auth-
orities to re-establish the sugar
beet industry in the south-west-
ern part of the Province. The
Minister stated that he was
awaiting the establishment of a

national sugar policy, and Mr.
Nixon suggested an economic
competitive sugar -providing
industry could be established
in Ontario without awaiting
the finalization of a nation-
wide policy by Ottawa.
A CBC program this week
claiming that the Provincial
Government was suppressing
information on mercury poison-
ing in the Grassy Narrows White
Dog Indian Reserve areas of
Northwestern Ontario, sparked
off some hectic debate in the
House. Mr. Robert Nixon,
demanded further information
in this extremely serious matter
pertaining to the health and
livelihood of these communit-
ies. Both Mr. Nixon and NDP
Leader, Stephen Lewis accused
the Minister of health, Mr.
Miller of hiding information
from the public. The Opposit-
ion urged that Alt. Davis inter-
vene and suggested the Premier
establish a commission of enq-
uiry to look into the providing
of an alternative food source.
Mr. Murray Gaunt, Liberal
Member for Huron -Bruce, asked
the Minister of Agriculture and
Food, Mr. William Stewart,
what action has been taken in
regard to the contaminated AI
seinen that has been distributed
and sold. The Minister said he
was very concerned. When he
became aware that seinen
which had apparently been rej-
ected at the Federal lab at IJull
was being distributed through-
out Ontario, he requested a
report from all the insemination
units across Ontario, going back
as far as June 1, 1972, on every
sample which had been sent to
Hull. A report has not been
received to date. The matter
has been discussed with the
federal officials and with the
Association of Animal Breeders
and the matter will be pursued
to the full through the limitat-
ions of the Artificial Inseminat-
ion of Cattle Act, in Ontario.
During the debate on the
estimates of the Ministry of
Transportation and Communic-
ations, Mr. Richard Ruston,
Liberal Member for Essex -
Kent, asked for a review of
freight rates in the Province,
and suggested that freight rate
control should be considered to
ensure fair competition. Ile
asked that PCV licences be
used to their maximum for the
most efficient hauling of freight
such as making certain that
trucks are not running hundreds

Subscription Rates: $5.00 per year in advance in Canada;

of miles empty due to a lack
of a return licence for some
produce from the area. He said
that as far as the Class F lic-
ences for aggregate haulers of
gravel stone were concerned,
there has been some controv-
ersy of late and he felt that
this type of licence should be
reviewed and the need for more
. licences should be examined.
The condition of the trucks
hauling this material should be
c arsidered in the overall plan.
On the matter of school bus
safety, he said that the stop
lighting system leaves some-
thing to be desired. Complaints
were put forth that the lights do
not show up during the bright
sunlight hours. Mr. Ruston exp-
ressed concern that school buses
were being used to transport
children 100 miles or more on
the highways and that the gen-
eral construction of these buses
is not suitable for high speed
highway driving. Normal high-
way transport buses are much
heavier and most have an extra
axle in addition to extra padd-
ing in the interior.
Education Minister Thomas
Wells said that the Government
will introduce an amendment
to the Municipal Act to make
it absolutely clear that a teach-
er may sit on a municipal
council without having to resigt
or without having to take leave
of absence and that this will
be made retroactive to reassure
those who have already under-
taken this public responsibility.

GUARD THAT PRECIOUS
TANKFUL
To save that precious tank-
ful of gasoline from being
shiphoned off when your car
is parked in some unattended
spot, consider having a locking
gas cap installed. But make
sure you get the proper cap for
your particular car, as either
the fuel tank or gas cap must
be vented, advised Consumers'
Association of Canada. There
is a danger that a vacuum may
be created when gasoline is
pumped to the engine and the
tank could then "Implode"
or Collapse. It is also a good
idea to keep your tank as full
as possible at all times to prev-
ent water condensation which
can cause engine malfunction.
