Citizens News, January 12, 1977 Page 13 Lieutenant Governor sums up session The Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Ontario prorogued the Third Session of the Thirtieth, Parliament, and the following are some excerpts from the speech of The Honourable Pauline McGibbon at that time. "More than 80 bills have been granted Royal Assent during this period. Among them, the new Employees' Health and Safety Act has brought into force key recommendations of the Royal Commission on the Health and Safety of Workers in Mines. The provisions enacted so far include establishment within a single ministry — the Ministry of Labour — of all responsibility for occupational health and safety legislation. "Further plans are in progress to extend the application of the proposals at the core of the report to include industrial safety and construction safety, and to produce in a comprehensive omnibus bill an occupational health code for working men and women throughout Ontario." "New legislation was in- troduced in the fall to establish a fairer and firmer structure of law in dealing with matrimonial property and in providing for support in cases of marriage breakdown. These family law reforms are the culmination of years of study and consultation based on recommendations of the Ontario Law Reform Com- mission. These family law reforms are the culmination of years of study and consultation based on recommendations of the Ontario Law Reform Com- mission. Passage of the legislation has been postponed to allow more time for responses from interested parties and for further review." "New Select Committees of the Legislature have been appointed to investigate highway .safety, transportation of goods and corporation law, and to review reports of the Ombudsman." "The House also received the final report of the Select Com- mittee on Ontario Hydro's proposed bulk power rates." "At the Federal -Provincial energy price negotiations, Ontario put forward the position that any price increase be related to production costs and to in- creasing the incentive to develop and expand energy production. It was, and remains, the Govern- ment's stand that energy cost increases should not be used as a means of providing additional revenues for governments at the consumer's expense." "At the same time, the Government of Ontario is aware of its responsibility in ensuring that, throughout the province, efforts be made to conserve all forms of energy in everyday use.. Ontario's energy management program to achieve savings in all sectors of the economy is well under way." "Over the past year, potential industrial energysavings of more than $15.6 million have been identified by the Ministry of Industry and Tourism's "Energy Bus" in its province -wide travels. Insulation requirements for housing to help conserve energy have been defined in the new Ontario Building Code which came into effect on April 1st, Energy Conservation Week, observed from October 31 to November 6, had appreciable results in schools, businesses and municipalities throughout the province." "A new 5 -year agreement between Ontario and the Federal Government, signed March 12, ensures fulfillment of continuing obligations on Canada and the United States to improve the quality of the Great Lakes. The agreement includes provision for prior consultation between Canada and Ontario on all proposals for discussion with the United States, and places greater emphasis than before on en- vironmental assessment and protection." "Within the province, it has been the expressed policy of the Ontario Government to ensure thorough consultation with the public in issues of major long- term significance. The Provin- ce's economic priorities and their protection to the end of the anti- inflation program and beyond are among several such questions now facing all Ontarians." "As announced recently, the Government will be inviting representatives of Ontario's labour, business, consumer, agricultural and social organizations to participate in a conference, next February 10 and 11, to be entitled "Partnership for Prosperity". The conference will provide a forum for discussion on the future direction of the provincial economy and the post - controls period." "Ontario's first Environmental Assessment Board was appointed in April to perform the essential function of reviewing assessments of major public development projects that may have significant effects on the environment. The new Board also assumed the activities of the Environmental Hearing Board • Bantams play Dublin, Brussels, defeat both The Zurich Bantams played two games last week and defeated Brussels 12-1 and defeated Dublin 9 to 3.

"In October, terms and con- ditions for the proposed development of a new integrated forest industry complex in North- western Ontario created a framework for the most intensive environmental evaluation of this kind for any undertaking by the private sector. This review, under the provisions of the Environmental Assessment Act, 1975, will be undertaken by Mr, Justice Patrick Hartt. "The scope of the inquiry will encompass the social, cultural and economic interests of Nor- thern residents. Ultimate ap- proval of the projected enterprise will depend on proposals for a comprehensive forest management program, satisfactory environmental safeguards and the protection of native rights. If approved, the project anticipates an investment of $400 million and the creation of some 1,200 new jobs."
