Speaker John Melville Turner, Member for the Electoral District of Peterborough,
which motion was seconded by Mr. Smith, and it was,
21st April 1981
Resolved, That John Melville Turner, Esquire, do take the Chair of this House
as Speaker.
The Clerk having declared the Honourable John Melville Turner duly elected,
he was conducted by the Premier and Mr. Smith to the Dais, where standing on the
upper step, he returned his humble acknowledgment to the House for the great
honour they had been pleased to confer upon him by choosing him to be their
Speaker.
And thereupon he sat down in the Chair and the Mace was laid upon the Table.
The House then adjourned during pleasure.
The Honourable the Lieutenant Governor then entered the House and took his
seat on the Throne.
Mr. Speaker then addressed His Honour to the following effect:
May it please Your Honour,
The Legislative Assembly have elected me as their Speaker, though I am but
little able to fulfil the important duties thus assigned to me.
If, in the performance of those duties, I should at any time fall into error, I pray
that the fault may be imputed to me and not to the Assembly whose servant I am,
and who, through me, the better to enable them to discharge their duty to their
Queen and Country, hereby claim all their undoubted rights and privileges, espe-
cially that they may have freedom of speech in their debates, access to your person at
all seasonable times, and that their proceedings may receive from you the most
favourable consideration.
The Government House Leader then said:
Mr. Speaker,
I am commanded by the Honourable the Lieutenant Governor to declare to you
that he freely confides in the duty and attachment of the Assembly to Her Majesty's
person and Government, and not doubting that the proceedings will be conducted
with wisdom, temperance and prudence, he grants and upon all occasions will
recognize and allow the constitutional privileges.
I am commanded also to assure you that the Assembly shall have ready access to
His Honour upon all suitable occasions, and that their proceedings, as well as your
words and actions, will constantly receive from him the most favourable construc-
tion.
The Honourable the Lieutenant Governor was then pleased to open the Session
with the following gracious speech:
Elizabeth II 21st April
Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly:
I extend greetings to you all, on behalf of our Sovereign, on this, the opening of
the First Session of the Thirty-second Parliament of Ontario. I welcome to this
Parliament those Honourable Members who will be serving their fellow citizens in
this capacity for the first time, as well as those who have been returned to office. May
I express the wish that your hopes and objectives and those of your constituents will
be fulfilled through the opportunities for service afforded you as individual members
and, together, as the Legislature of this great and historic Province.
Mon gouvernement prend acte de la responsabilite que lui a confiee la popula-
tion de l'Ontario et il accepte cette responsabilite. II s'engage, dans l'administration
de ses affaires, a servir loyalement les interets de la province at du pays tout entier.
We wish to record the pleasure we share, along with all Canadians, in the
upcoming marriage of His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales. As well, Ontario
will be honoured with visits by Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and by Her Royal
Highness, the Princess Margaret, later this summer. These events afford an oppor-
tunity for an expression of the pride we feel in the heritage that has been ours as a
constitutional monarchy.
In the business of our nation, the tensions and stresses of the sustained constitu-
tional debate continue to dominate Canadian public affairs.
The Government and people of this Province are resolute in their desire for
patriation of the Canadian Constitution, while preserving our existing constitutional
monarchy, in both form and substance. We seek to protect human and democratic
rights, and to assure freedom of movement for all Canadians in the final step to
constitutional maturity for this nation.
While my Government regrets the lack of accord between several of our sister
provinces and the central government, we continue to hold a positive perspective on
the outcome. For its part, this Province will continue to strive for patriation of the
Canadian Constitution, with a fair amending formula, and with an entrenched
Charter of Rights. This has been our position since the Federal-Provincial Confer-
ence on the Constitution in February 1969.
But the Constitution, despite its great importance, must not be allowed to
distort the public agenda of Canada. Inflation, economic growth, Federal-Provincial
fiscal and tax-sharing arrangements, social policy and stability, energy pricing and
supply, all constitute matters which must be urgently addressed, so that our nation
does not falter for want of the critical decisions necessary to sustain our economic
prosperity and security.
The problem of inflation, in particular, must be faced in a comprehensive way,
on a national front and without delay. Major opportunities for action lie in the key
Federal areas of monetary and fiscal policy-planning. The question of energy pricing
and supply remains unresolved and, in the absence of a fair distribution of resource
benefits among all provinces, unnecessary damage is caused to the economy of the
nation as a whole. Decisive and reasonable actions are essential if this problem is to
be overcome. My Government will continue to press for cohesive national leadership
8 21st April 1981
in these crucial areas, and repeats the call for a Conference of First Ministers, at an
early date, as the forum for such action.
Existing Federal-Provincial fiscal arrangements, which are due to expire at the
end of this fiscal year, are being reviewed between Ottawa and the Provinces. While
Ontario welcomes the opportunity to participate in these important discussions, we
will oppose any attempts to reduce a fair Federal contribution to major programs in
health, education and social services.
In the particular interests of the Province of Ontario, economic leadership and
policies aimed at promoting the well-being of our people are vital elements of the
framework of freedom and opportunity that must serve us in the years ahead.
We are a strong and vigorous Province. Our continuing vitality, despite the
pressures of the times, owes no little credit to the foresight and planning of past
years, which have provided the firm economic and social foundation of the Ontario
of today. Reinforcing this foundation to ensure future growth and development is
crucial to the strength of the Ontario of tomorrow.
The new Industrial Leadership and Development program, an explicit program
for economic expansion and growth, will be the basic industrial development blue-
print of this Government. This 5-year program, as earlier announced, comprises a
re-ordering of priorities and the commitment of a $1.5 billion development plan for
specific projects. This program will be directed by a Board of Ministers whose
responsibilities are key to the creation of the wealth on which a secure future will
depend.
The BILD program, as it is called, is a coherent and prudent plan for Ontario,
and one which is in accordance with the objectives and scope of the Government's
ongoing fiscal strategy. It is the aim of the Government, during this Session, to make
substantial progress along this course.
A major instrument in the program will be the newly established Office of
Procurement Policy, which will play a role in mobilizing public sector purchasing
power to foster Canadian manufacturing and technology.
Greater use of electricity, increased commitments for skills training and man-
power retraining, concentrated development of high technology industry, specific
programs for resource development, programs for community economic develop-
ment, and expansion of our transportation systems, will be critical components of an
industrial expansion plan for all regions and economic sectors in Ontario.
Legislation will be presented to amend the Power Corporation Act to enable
Ontario Hydro to sell industrial steam to the Ontario Energy Corporation, as a major
step forward in the establishment of the Bruce Energy Centre. Construction of a
steam pipeline will begin this year.
Ontario's wide-ranging energy conservation and oil substitution programs will
be reinforced by a new Residential Electrical Services program. Legislation will be
enacted to enable Ontario Hydro and the municipal electric utilities to carry out
home energy audits and to provide homeowner loans for energy conservation, elec-
tric wiring upgrading and conversion to electric heating.
Elizabeth II 21st April
Further initiatives will be taken by the Ministry of Energy in such areas as
hydrogen, fusion, solar energy, alternative transportation fuels and small hydraulic
development.
Ontario has a unique opportunity to use its world leadership in electrical gener-
ation technology to produce hydrogen. We stand to gain enormous long-term benefits
from early entry into the hydrogen age. Approaches have been made to the Federal
Government suggesting a joint funding program. In the meantime, the Province will
undertake major initiatives to support existing centres of recognized leadership in
this field, and will proceed with its previously announced commitment to establish
an Institute for Hydrogen Systems.
High priority is placed on industrial and technological development, from the
viewpoint of the potential for job creation, as well as for the advancement of industry
itself.
The deployment of our human resources is a vital and integral part of the BILD
program. Without question, Government has a role to play — to assist in opening the
door to employment opportunities. But it is the role of private enterprise to provide
the wide range of choices which our society requires. At the same time, our society
must be able to rely on the resourcefulness and will of its members.
It is a right in a democratic society that we are free to fulfill our potential as
individuals in the vocation of our choosing. Still, in practical terms, there is a
continuing need for a better balance between work opportunities and skills, partic-
ularly in the growing high technology field.
The Government will expand the Training in Business and Industry initiatives
of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities and provide a major funding allocation
for technical and technological equipment for the Province's Colleges of Applied Arts
and Technology. A Community Counselling program will be developed to tap the
resources of our young people and guide them toward worthwhile and productive
jobs. Efforts are being made to co-ordinate and share the costs of some of these
initiatives with the new Federal labour adjustment program.
A new International Intern program will aim to add more international mar-
keting specialists to the Ontario business community over the next two years. In this
proposed joint venture with Ontario business companies, the Ministry of Industry
and Tourism will share the salary costs of posting marketing and sales representa-
tives for training and experience in important foreign markets.
In step with these training initiatives, a Biotechnology Company, a joint ven-
ture already announced, will be the base of a methodical and solid advance toward
high-level industrial growth, job creation and world-scale competitive* leadership in
vital areas of economic activity.
The Province will proceed to develop specific research innovation centres in
autoparts technology, computer-assisted manufacturing and robotics, and micro-
electronics. A special multi-million dollar fund to finance new high technology firms
will be established through the Ontario Development Corporations.
10 21st April 1981
You will be asked to enact legislation to establish the IDEA Corporation. The
purpose of this agency will be to promote and finance the development of new
technologies and facilitate their industrial application. The Corporation will also
have a key role to play in integrating and linking the research and development
resources of government, the university community and industry.
In the area of resource development, the Province will proceed with the BILD
Forest Management program, construction of forest seedling cultivation centres in
Northern Ontario, and a major gold sampling and custom milling program. Discus-
sions will be pursued with private mining and forestry companies and with machin-
ery producers for a joint resource-machinery initiative in the Sudbury area.
Existing Provincial farm support programs will be supplemented by specific
measures to assist the food processing and tender fruit growing industries. A major
objective is to expand and improve processing capability for crops produced in
Ontario.
A full-scale fruit and vegetable storage program will be introduced to upgrade
and expand present storage, grading and packing capacity. The target over the next
five years is to reduce imports by at least one-third, and substantially increase farm
incomes.
Ontario is determined to ensure that its agricultural sector remains among the
most modern in the world. This will require careful and constant attention to forces
outside the industry, among which the current impact of high interest rates is a
matter of great concern.
The Ontario Government's commitment to public transportation is a matter of
record. In particular, over the last decade, Provincial policies and financing have
been the mainspring of local public transit systems in urban centres throughout the
province, and of a successful and growing transportation technology industry.
Legislation will be amended to allow for additional subsidies for the purchase of
electrified trolley bus equipment by local municipalities. A long-term schedule of
radial road improvements will be undertaken to accommodate the movement of
people and of increasingly heavy commercial traffic in the Toronto-Niagara corridor.
The Government will extend the municipal airport program of the Ministry of
Transportation and Communications to all of Ontario.
My Government has every confidence that the development of an Intermediate
Capacity Transit System by the Urban Transportation Development Corporation is
but the beginning of an auspicious future for the industry. Additional investments in
UTDC will allow for production facilities in Ontario. A feasibility study for an ICTS
system for the City of Hamilton is expected to be ready by this fall, and negotiations
will begin with Metropolitan Toronto for an ICTS line in this Area. Design work for
electrification of the GO commuter rail system from Oakville to Pickering is under
way.
The final report of the Task Force on Provincial Rail Policy, which will be
published shortly, will provide further direction for the Province's expanded role in
rail transportation. As well, the Province is committed to significant upgrading of
our harbours and marine transportation capability. It is anticipated that the report of
the Great Lakes/Seaway Task Force will also identify further areas for Provincial
involvement.
Elizabeth II 21st April 1_1
Economic growth and technological progress and innovation are not sufficient
goals in and of themselves. They are, more importantly, instruments for financing
social progress, and improving quality of life, and public safety and security that are
so fundamental to Ontario's society.
Ontario is well served by the wide range and strength of the established institu-
tions in our society. The task before us — an enviable one, compared with many
jurisdictions — is to ensure, with continued foresight and planning, that we are able
to adapt to the demands of the future, and so continue to enhance and enrich life in
this Province.
Efforts toward improved high standards of environmental protection will be
intensified. We stand to lose much if we do not pursue and make use of the advan-
tages of modern science and technology. With these concerns in mind, the Govern-
ment proposes to introduce legislation charging the Ontario Waste Management
Corporation with the responsibility for establishing a world-class facility for the
treatment and safe disposal of liquid industrial waste.
Potential health hazards from the manufacture, use and disposal of chemical
products will be the primary interest of the new Ontario Centre for Toxicology. A
major government role is envisaged in this venture, which will result from joint
efforts of the Universities of Toronto and Guelph. The Centre will be a co-operative
undertaking with the private sector and the university community and will serve as a
board-based training, research and assessment institution.
The Government will continue an aggressive campaign to counter the threat
posed by acid rain and to have controls applied against sources contributing to the
problem, both in Ontario and from beyond the Province's borders.
My Government is committed to providing continued strong support for health
care, education, day care, and those in need, as well as for the vast number of
services that are an integral part of social policy development and the mainstay of our
social well-being. The Provincial pattern has been to decentralize much of the opera-
tional responsibility for these services, to achieve greater flexibility in their delivery.
The Government reaffirms this policy as a means of recognizing and, to the greatest
possible extent, meeting the individual needs of all members of the community.
Continuing emphasis will be placed on community living for elderly and dis-
abled persons, enabling them to live in their own homes. At the same time, accom-
modation needs and care of others who are unable to be relatively independent must
be assured. To this end, a 5-year provincial program will be started this spring to
increase the capacity and improve the standards of homes for the aged throughout
the province. This will be carried out in co-operation with municipalities and charit-
able organizations.
Pensions have become an increasingly important issue for larger numbers of our
people. The recently released Report of the Royal Commission of Pensions is a most
extensive study of this matter. In order that its recommendations may be widely
understood and carefully reviewed, this House will be asked to appoint a Select
Committee to examine the Report.
The importance of the role of the family in our society cannot be too strongly
emphasized. This has been a consistent view of the Government, and one which it
12 21st April 1981
upholds in a range of accepted Provincial policies and programs, Government's
activities, therefore, will continue to reflect and respond to the nature of our people
and to their desire that family life and other traditional values remain an influence
and force in the Ontario way of life.
There are a multitude of recreational and cultural activities that do so much for
the enjoyment of leisure time in this Province. Among the particular events that
deserve special attention in the coming year will be the 1981 Canada Games,
scheduled to be held in Thunder Bay in August. This will be the first time the
Canada Games will be staged in Ontario.
Ontario has endorsed the United Nations designation of 1981 as the Internation-
al Year of Disabled Persons. Budgetary increases have been provided for existing
provincially funded services for the disabled, including transportation programs and
the provision of physical amenities in public buildings and community facilities. In
addition, the Province has earmarked a special $12 million fund to initiate new
programs, and a $5.5 million Wintario capital grant allocation to make cultural and
recreational facilities more accessible to disabled people. A special public awareness
program will be launched later this spring.
With these and other initiatives, there is every indication that the attention
being paid to this special event will produce many programs of lasting benefit, both
within government and throughout the community at large.
The Government affirms a commitment to meet the needs of developmentally
handicapped children. Through a new program to encourage parental involvement
and responsibility, families will participate in working out programs for their own
children. Special Needs Agreements with parents will provide the vehicle for this
initiative, and will also make increased funding available for the additional special
services often required by these children.
The policies and programs of the Ministry of Health will continue to emphasize
preventive care and public health. You will be asked to consider a new Health
Protection Act to provide for a core package of public health services that will be
common to all health units across Ontario.
A Mental Health Co-ordinator will be appointed to formulate new policies and
plans relating to the development and delivery of Ontario's mental health services.
The extension of tele-medicine links between small and large hospitals, and of
regional perinatal services throughout the province will ensure that the most up-to-
date methods of care are readily available to the people of Ontario.
Le gouvernement adoptera des politiques et des programmes speciaux visant a
ameliorer la prestation de ses services en frangais, a faire connaitre ces services et a
encourager la population francophone a les utiliser. C'est le ministere des Affaires
intergouvernementales qui coordonnera ces efforts, et des fonds speciaux seront
affectes pour faciliter la creation de nouveaux services en frangais, au sein du
gouvernement et dans toute la collectivite franco-ontarienne.
New government policies on Native Affairs include a career development plan
for Native people in Northern Ontario to provide opportunities for training and
Elizabeth II 21st April 13
permanent employment in the private sector, as well as in the field operations of the
Ministry of Natural Resources.
Last November, the Minister of Labour tabled a comprehensive report on the
Province's workmen's compensation laws. The recommendations have received wide
public approval. The Government will introduce legislation, early in the Session,
reflecting the major proposals in the report relating to benefit calculations and level - ,
and the structure and adjudication procedures of the Workmen's Compensation
Board.
Major revisions to the Ontario Human Rights Code will be reintroduced for
enactment. Among the measures are protections for the handicapped and for persons
subject to harassment in a variety of situations. Existing protections against dis-
crimination on grounds of marital status and age will be expanded.
The Children's Law Reform Act amendments, concerning child custody and
access proceedings, which were given second reading at the last Session, will proceed
to enactment. Complementary legislation will be presented to implement the Hague
Convention regarding child kidnapping. As well, amendments will be made to the
Reciprocal Enforcement of Maintenance Orders Act to provide more effective
enforcement of orders throughout Canada, as recommended by the Uniform Law
Conference of Canada.
A special bill will be introduced providing for civilian review and appeal proce-
dures with respect to investigation of complaints against the police in Metro Toronto.
My Government will present a number of measures to improve the adminis-
tration of its affairs. Legislation will be presented to integrate more closely the
policies and programs of the Ministry of Housing with those operations of the Minis-
try of Intergovernmental Affairs that relate to municipal matters. This consolidation
will also pave the way for introduction of a revised Planning Act. This important
legislation, the product of an extensive consultation process, has already had
thorough public review as the subject of a White Paper.
Proposals for the implementation of a policy on freedom of information and
individual privacy will also be provided for consideration by this Assembly and by
the general public. These will be in the form of a draft Freedom of Information bill,
to be included in a government discussion paper. A response will be made to the
Krever Commission report on the confidentiality of health information.
It is the Government's wish that the overall legislative program for the Session
proceed efficiently and effectively, and that ample consideration be afforded items of
due significance. In addition to those items already mentioned in this address, other
important measures will include amendments to the Education Act and the Munici-
pal Conflict of Interest Act.
Three major bills which did not proceed to enactment last year will be rein-
troduced, namely a revised Business Corporations Act, the Municipal Boundaries
Negotiations Act and the Dangerous Goods Transportation Act. A Toronto Islands
Act will pass into law certain recommendations of the Swadron Report received
earlier this year. Essential changes will be brought forward with regard to the
Election Act and the Election Finances Reform Act.
14 2 1st April 1981
Honourable Members, this Assembly begins an important and demanding Ses-
sion. I pray that in the discharge of your duties, in the months ahead, you remain
mindful of the effect of your decisions on the future course of Ontario and Canada.
The difficulties we face at home, while legitimate causes for concern, need not and
must not obscure the fundamental strength of our economy, the tremendous potential
of our human and natural resources, the exiciting and overwhelming hope for our
future.
Through the leadership and efforts of my Ministers, and through the work of
this Legislature, we must seek to build new national understanding. Through the
will and spirit of the people of Ontario, we must help to achieve the growth and
advancement that will sustain our province and our nation. This is the challenge we
collectively face.
May Divine Providence attend your deliberations.
In our Sovereign's name, I thank you.
God bless the Queen and Canada.
His Honour was then pleased to retire.

mercial Relations for the year ending March 31, 1980, be referred to the Standing

The following Bills were introduced and read the first time: —
Bill 8, An Act to amend The Labour Relations Act. Mr. Mackenzie.
22 2 7th April 1981

Bill 17, An Act to amend The Employment Standards Act, 1974. Mr. M artel.
Mr. Cassidy moved, seconded by Mr. MacDonald,
That, pursuant to Standing Order 34, I move that the ordinary business of the
House be set aside to discuss a matter of urgent public importance; namely, that
there is a crisis in housing because home prices are rising to such levels that it is
becoming impossible for most families to purchase homes; furthermore, the crisis
results from the inaction of the government to control speculation and profiteering in
the housing market and the refusal of the government to monitor and control the
inflationary influx of foreign capital into Ontario's housing markets.
After hearing the arguments of the mover and the representatives of the other
parties,
Mr. Speaker ruled that the matter is one which would be more properly dis-
cussed during the Throne Debate, particularly when he took note of the fact that Mr.
Cassidy, the Leader of the Third Party, who filed this Notice of Motion, is scheduled
to speak on the Throne Debate tomorrow or even today and will then have ample
opportunity to deal with any subject he chooses in detail and at whatever length he
finds necessary, rather than being limited to the 10 minutes provided by Standing
Order 34.
He said he had listened very carefully to the presentations made this afternoon,
and was not persuaded that he should change this opinion. He therefore declared
the motion out of order.
The Order of the Day for resuming the Adjourned Debate on the Motion for an
Address in Reply to the Speech of the Honourable the Lieutenant Governor at the
opening of the Session, having been read,
The debate was resumed and, after some time,
Elizabeth II 2 7th April n
Mr. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Nixon,
That the motion be amended by adding the following thereto:
This House, however, regrets that the Speech from the Throne fails to recognize
the most serious and fundamental problems facing Ontario today, and condemns the
Government for:
— refusing to recognize Ontario's industrial decline, and the need for a defini-
tive industrial strategy, as well as massive retraining programmes for
Ontario workers.
— having no policies to help low and middle-income earners avoid further
hardship from the effects of rapidly rising prices.
— presenting no specific programmes to help small businesses, farmers, and
homeowners to deal with record-high interest rates.
— failing to address or act upon the crisis of escalating housing costs, which
are making the dream of owning a home an impossibility to average
Ontarians.
— proposing no legislation — despite a previous commitment — to provide
adequate and definitive levels of severance pay for Ontario workers who
are laid off their jobs.
— making no new or increased financial commitment toward the development
of Ontario's health, social, and education sectors — specifically, toward
hospitals, day care, services for the elderly, and post-secondary institutions.
— pursuing a shameful policy of harassment with regard to victims of the
Government's mistake on ReMor Investments, instead of accepting proper
responsibility for ensuring adequate and equitable compensation for these
people.
— failing to protect against the sale of large amounts of Ontario's most valu-
able farmland to foreign buyers.
— undermining the provincial rent review programme by threatening to alter
the present guidelines.
— placing excessive and unwise emphasis on the development of electricity to
meet Ontario's future energy requirements, instead of utilizing abundant
and indigenous renewable and alternative sources.
And therefore, this Assembly declares its total lack of confidence in the Gov-
ernment.
On motion by Mr. Cassidy,
Ordered, That the debate be adjourned.

Elizabeth II 28th April 25
The debate was resumed and, after some time,
Mr. Cassidy moved, seconded by Mr. Martel,
That the amendment to the Motion for an address in reply to the Speech from
the Throne be amended by adding thereto the following:
And this House condemns the government:
1 . For its failure to introduce a housing and land speculation tax and intro-
duce other measures to curb the speculative profiteering and inflow of
speculative funds from outside of Ontario which makes it impossible for
average Ontario families to own a home of their own;
2 . For its failure to provide universal access to health care and its absolute
refusal to prohibit extra-billing by doctors above the OHIP rate;
3. For its failure to extend rent review to tenants in buildings built since
1975 and its obvious efforts to weaken or eliminate rent review protection
for tenants;
4. For its failure to exercise its stewardship over the natural resources of
Ontario through a policy of public ownership and development of our
resources which would finance a Northern Ontario Tomorrow Fund and
ensure the maximum return to the people of Ontario;
5 . For its failure to provide for a meaningful reform of the pension system
that will put needs of Ontario's citizens ahead of the profits of the insur-
ance industry;
6. For its failure to undertake a comprehensive reform of social security and
of workmen's compensation in Ontario that will provide rehabilitation
and income protection for every citizen;
and for all these reasons that this House has no confidence in the gov-
ernment.

NINTH DAY
FRIDAY, MAY 1st, 1981
Prayers 10.00 O'Clock A.M.
Mr. Speaker and the House paid tribute to Mr. Yaakov Suslensky, one the the
most prominent Jewish dissidents and human rights activists in the Soviet Union, a
close friend and former fellow prisoner of the famed Mr. Sharansky.
Mr. Suslensky has spent seven years in Soviet prisons, four of which were spent
in the dreadful high security prison of Vladimir. Mr. Suslensky was a Jewish activist
in Ukraine. He has been recently released and is living in Jerusalem, Israel. He is
presently making a speaking tour of North America to promote brotherhood. He is
also Secretary Chairman for Jewish/Ukranian Relations.
He has recently met with such organizations as the Canadian/Jewish Congress
and the Ukranian/Canadian Committee among other organizations to promote
harmony and tolerance among communities and peoples.
30 1st May 1981
Mr. Speaker addressed the House as follows: —
On Tuesday last, Mr. Mancini raised a point of order concerning supplementary
questions being redirected to another minister. I have had an opportunity to review
the comments of the members participating in the discussion on the point of order
and I have also reviewed and weighed carefully the remarks of my predecessor on
this matter.
A minister to whom a question is put is given a wide latitude of discretion. He
may answer a question, defer a question for further consideration or take it as notice,
or he may decline to answer the question without stating a reason for the refusal. A
minister may also refer a question not within his administrative responsibility to
another minister.
The Chair enjoys discretion is allowing a question and certainly in allowing a
supplementary question. It seems to me that if and when supplementaries are
allowed, they should be a follow-up device flowing from the response of a particular
minister. They should not be redirected to a different minister. Members who have
questions for other ministers should seek to be recognized on a new question. I
suggest that otherwise they are merely trying to get their questions in out of turn.
I ask for the co-operation of all members in this matter to ensure that the
question period runs smoothly and with maximum participation from all members.
Yesterday, Mr. Roy, the Member for Ottawa East, on point of order, asked me
to look into the question of whether or not the raising of matters of privilege during
the Question Period should be included in the 60 minutes allowed for that period.
It is obvious, I suggest, that when the alleged breach of privilege relates to the
question just asked, then, in accordance with Standing Order 18, it must be taken up
immediately and must consequently be included within the 60 minutes. If the matter
refers to something completely unrelated to the current questions, such as something
said yesterday or something in a newspaper report, it should be taken up either
before the Question Period or after.
The following Bills were introduced and read the first time: —
Bill 32, An Act to amend The Employment Standards Act, 1974. Mr. Mac-

3. The application for Private Legislation by Stanley Stacey, Audrey Stacey

That the fees paid by the applicants with respect to the said applications in the

Roderick Lewis, Esq., Q.C. Januarv 26, 1981
Clerk
Legislative Assembly
Parliament Buildings
Queen's Park
Toronto, Ontario
Dear Mr. Lewis
Re: Bill Pr47 of 1980, now Bill Pr3 of 1981, An Act to revive Sioux
Petroleums, Limited
The undersigned, as Commissioners of Estate Bills as provided by The Legisla-
tive Assembly Act, R.S.O. 1970, c. 240, having had the above-noted Bill referred to
us as Commissioners now beg to report thereon.
We have investigated the desirability of the proposed legislation. We are of the
opinion that the provisions of the Bill are proper for carrying into effect its purpose
and it is reasonable that the said Bill should pass into law. We are of that opinion
notwithstanding that a parcel of land in Alberta, title to which is registered in the
name of the corporation, may have become escheated, under the law of Alberta, to
the Crown in the right of that province. We think the revival of the corporation is
desirable so that it will have status to assert the title it will claim to the Alberta
property.
We enclose a copy of the Bill which we have duly signed.
Yours very truly
A. R. Jessup, J. A.
Bertha Wilson, J. A.

And this House condemns the government:
1. For its failure to introduce a housing and land speculation tax and intro-
duce other measures to curb the speculative profiteering and inflow of
speculative funds from outside of Ontario which makes it impossible for
average Ontario families to own a home of their own;
2. For its failure to provide universal access to health care and its absolute
refusal to prohibit extra-billing by doctors above the OHIP rate;
3. For its failure to extend rent review to tenants in buildings built since
1975 and its obvious efforts to weaken or eliminate rent review protection
for tenants;
4. For its failure to exercise its stewardship over the natural resources of
Ontario through a policy of public ownership and development of our
resources which would finance a Northern Ontario Tomorrow Fund and
ensure the maximum return to the people of Ontario;
5. For its failure to provide for a meaningful reform of the pension system
that will put needs of Ontario's citizens ahead of the profits of the insur-
ance industry;
6. For its failure to undertake a comprehensive reform of social security and
of workmen's compensation in Ontario that will provide rehabilitation
and income protection for every citizen;
and for all these reasons that this House has no confidence in the gov-
ernment.

The amendment to the motion as follows:-
Elizabeth II 12th May 43
That the motion be amended by adding the following thereto:
This House, however, regrets that the Speech from the Throne fails to recognize
the most serious and fundamental problems facing Ontario today, and condemns the
Government for:
— refusing to recognize Ontario's industrial decline, and the need for a defini-
tive industrial strategy, as well as massive retraining programmes for
Ontario workers.
— having no policies to help low and middle-income earners avoid further
hardship from the effects of rapidly rising prices.
— presenting no specific programmes to help small businesses, farmers, and
homeowners to deal with record-high interest rates.
— failing to address or act upon the crisis of escalating housing costs, which
are making the dream of owning a home an impossibility to average
Ontarians.
— proposing no legislation — despite a previous commitment — to provide
adequate and definitive levels of severance pay for Ontario workers who
are laid off their jobs.
— making no new or increased financial commitment toward the development
of Ontario's health, social, and education sectors — specifically, toward
hospitals, day care, services for the elderly, and post-secondary institutions.
— pursuing a shameful policy of harassment with regard to victims of the
Government's mistake on ReMor Investments, instead of accepting proper
responsibility for ensuring adequate and equitable compensation for these
people.
— failing to protect against the sale of large amounts of Ontario's most valu-
able farmland to foreign buyers.
— undermining the provincial rent review programme by threatening to alter
the present guidelines.
— placing excessive and unwise emphasis on the development of electricity to
meet Ontario's future energy requirements, instead of utilizing abundant
and indigenous renewable and alternative sources.
And therefore, this Assembly declares its total lack of confidence in the Gov-
ernment.

TWENTY-FOURTH DAY
MONDAY, MAY 25th, 1981
Prayers 2.00 O'Clock P.M.
The leaders of the three parties represented in the House paid tribute to the late
David Lewis, former national leader of the New Democratic Party, who passed away
on Saturday, May 23rd, 1981.
Mr. Speaker addressed the House as follows: —
On Thursday and Friday of last week, several matters were raised which I
agreed to take under consideration: —
First, there was the point raised by Mr. Reid, Member for Rainy River, who
raised what he considered to be a matter of privilege, perhaps more properly a
contempt of the House, relating to the non-appearance of two public servants whose
appearance was requested by the Public Accounts Committee. I was asked to look
into this and report back to the House.
I must point out again, as previous Speakers have, that it is this House which
must deal with such questions, not the Speaker.
The problem of what constitutes a valid matter of privilege or a valid point of
order seems to still cause confusion. Many Members feel that if they are aggrieved by
another Member in the House, they should rise on a matter of privilege. While this
may constitute a point of order, it is certainly not a matter of privilege. If the word-
complained of offend any of the rules or precedents relating to order, then it is a valid
point of order which must be raised immediately, not at a later date. It must be
something that is genuinely out of order according to the rules of the House and not
simply used as a method of gaining the floor. Standing Order 19 (d) contains a list of
actions which have been held to be out of order in debate. This list is not all inclusive
but does set out the most glaring breaches of order, such as making allegations
66 25th May 1981
against another Member; imputing false or unavowed motives to another Member;
charging another Member with uttering a deliberate falsehood, or using abusive or
insulting language of a nature likely to create disorder.
Privilege is entirely different as a breach must affect one of the privileges of
Parliament and its Members. I direct the attention of the Members to definitions of
privilege in Standing Order 18 (a) and in the Nineteenth Edition of May's Par-
liamentary Practice:
Standing Order 18 (a) defines privilege as follows: —
"Privileges are the rights enjoyed by the House collectively and by the
Members of the House individually conferred by the Legislative Assem-
bly Act and other Statutes, or by practice, precedent, usage and custom".
May's Parliamentary Practice, Nineteenth Edition, reads in part as follows: —
"Parliamentary privilege is the sum of the peculiar rights enjoyed by each
House, collectively as a constituent part of the High Court of Parliament,
and by members of each House individually, without which they could
not discharge their functions, and which exceed those possessed by other
bodies or individuals. Thus privilege, though part of the law of the land,
is to a certain extent an exemption from the ordinary law. The particular
privileges of the Commons have been defined as— "The sum of the fun-
damental rights of the House and of its individual Members as against
the prerogatives of the Crown, the authority of the ordinary courts of law
and the special rights of the House of Lords.".
Examples of breaches of privileges are:
(i) If an action for slander were brought against a Member for remarks
made by him in the House, or
(ii) When a Member raises a matter of privilege to correct a newspaper
report in which he claims to have been misquoted.
In the latter case, he really seeks to set the matter straight and has no intention
of moving a motion with respect thereto. The procedure of moving a motion to bring
a newspaper writer or editor before the bar of the House is one which has not been
made use of in any jurisdictions in the Commonwealth for many years.
The second matter was raised by the Leader of the New Democratic Party
who suggested that in blocking the first reading of Mr. Philip's bill on Thurs-
day, the party supporting the government was blocking a private member from
bringing an item of business before the House and of participating in the Private
Members' Afternoon. The vote on Thursday only decided that the bill would not be
given introduction and first reading at that time and, in fact, it was introduced
without objection on Friday. It is therefore obvious that the Member is not blocked
from bringing his business before the House and he is certainly not prevented from
participating in the consideration of the Private Members' Business as he may not
only use the bill in question if and when his turn is reached on the ballot, if he so
wishes, or any one of the numerous bills which he already has on the Order Paper.
Elizabeth II 25th May 67
Finally, I was asked to rule on whether or not Mr. Philip's bill constitutes a
money bill. I have examined it carefully and taken legal opinion and have come to
the conclusion that as the bill attempts to confer no power on the government which
it did not already have and merely requests the government to exercise that power, it
cannot be considered to direct an expenditure. In fact, it appears to me that as it has
no operational effect it is of no more force than a Resolution and might be more
properly introduced as such, requesting the government to take the necessary action.
The following Bill was introduced and read the first time: —
Bill 83, An Act to amend The Landlord and Tenant Act. Mr. Boudria.
The Answer was tabled to Question No. 90 (See Hansard).
A Return was tabled to Question No. 91 (Sessional Paper No. 86).
On motion by Mr. Wells, seconded by Mr. McMurtry,
Ordered, That, notwithstanding any Standing Order of the House, Estimates
for the Provincial Secretariat for Social Development be referred to the Standing
Committee on Social Development, and be taken into consideration for up to five
hours, following the Estimates of the Ministry of Culture and Recreation.
The Order of the Day for resuming the Adjourned Debate on the motion That
this House approves in general the Budgetary policy of the Government, having been
read,
The debate was resumed, and, after some time,
Mr. Peterson moved, seconded by Mr. Sweeney, that the motion be amended by
deleting all the words following "that", and adding thereto the following:
This House regrets that the 1981 Budget fails to recognize the most serious and
fundamental problems facing Ontario today, and condemns the Government for:
— profiteering from increases in the price of gasoline by the imposition of an ad
valorem gasoline tax which compounds the effect of rising energy prices on
Ontario's consumers.
— its deliberate betrayal of the Premier's commitment of February 2, 1981 "to
combat inflation, through . . . avoiding tax increases", by adding a significant
burden to Ontario's taxpayers through a major increase in the personal income
tax.
68 25th May 1981
— further increasing OHIP premiums, so that this regressive form of taxation has
now risen 109 per cent in five years or at an annual rate of 2 1.8 per cent, placing
an especially unfair burden on low-income earners.
— jeopardizing the quality of Ontario's universities and colleges by continuing to
fund inadequately even the basic requirements of the post-secondary system.
— refusing to recognize Ontario's industrial decline, and the need for a definitive
industrial strategy, as well as massive retraining programmes for Ontario work-
ers.
— having no policies to help low and middle-income earners avoid further
hardship from the effects of rapidly rising prices.
— presenting no specific programmes to help small businesses, farmers and
homeowners to deal with record-high interest rates.
— failing to cut wasteful expenditures, while increasing the deficit by almost 25 per
cent.
and therefore this Government lacks the confidence of the House.
On motion,
Ordered, That, the debate be adjourned.
Debate on the motion for Second Reading of Bill 7, An Act to revise and extend
Protection of Human Rights in Ontario was resumed,
And after some time the motion having been put was declared carried and the
Bill was accordingly read the second time and,
Ordered referred to the Standing Committee on Resources Development.
A debate arose on the motion for Second Reading of Bill 48, An Act respecting
Massey-Ferguson Limited, and after some time was adjourned.
The House then adjourned at 6.00 p.m.

70
26th May
1981
The debate was resumed and, after some time,
Mr. Wildman moved, seconded by Mr. Grande,
That the amendment to the motion be amended by striking out all the words
after ''That" and substituting the following therefore: —
This House rejects the increase in personal income taxes, OHIP premiums and
regressive taxes and the refusal to increase taxes on private corporations and to end
corporate tax concessions; deplores the failure to provide relief from high interest
rates and to institute a housing speculation tax; condemns the lack of commitment to
rebuilding our manufacturing sector and to creating employment opportunities; cen-
sures the continuing giveaway and mismanagement of our natural resources; and
finally, disapproves of the underfunding of health and social services and the
increasing dependence on user fees, and for these reasons, the government no longer
enjoys the confidence of this House.
The debate continued and after some time was adjourned.

With reference to the matter raised by Mr. Peterson, the Member for London
Centre, I must advise the House that as it is a matter for legal or judicial interpreta-

of privilege. Assuming, however, that it does, I again point out to the House, as
previous Speakers have on a number of occasions, it is no part of the responsibility of
the Speaker to investigate and report back on matters of privilege. It is the House
that must deal with such matters when the proper procedure is taken, not the
Speaker.

retrofit;

On Thursday last the Member for London North asked me to consider a petition
relating to urea formaldehyde foam insulation.
While it appears on the face of it to require the expenditure of public funds the
Member did make the point that it is possible to interpret it as asking the Govern-
ment to assist in some way which would not entail the expenditure of money. While I
find this rather difficult to imagine, the Member did raise an interesting point and so
the petition has been given the benefit of the doubt and will be entered as received
today. (Sessional Paper No. 253) (Tabled November 2, 1981).

SEVENTY-FIFTH DAY
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13th, 1981
Prayers 10.00 O'Clock A.M.
Mr. Speaker addressed the House as follows: —
On Thursday, November 5th, the Member for Ottawa Centre and the Member
for Sudbury East asked for direction with respect to occurrences on Tuesday even-
ing, November 3rd. I was asked to say whether I considered an attempt to raise a
point of order constitutes debate, the implication being that if not, the words in
Standing Order 36, "the original question shall be put forthwith and decided without
amendment or debate" would not exclude such action. The answer, of course, is
"no". However, when I declined to hear from the Member for Brant-Oxford-Norfolk
and the Member of Ottawa Centre on Tuesday night, I felt so strongly that the
wording of Standing Order 36 is so very clear that there could be nothing out of
order, and the House is aware that many times my predecessors have declined to
hear points of order when they were convinced that nothing was in fact out of order.
I felt and still feel that it was analogous to a Member who has attained the floor in a
proper way moving the adjournment of the House for the purpose of putting the
question under debate out of consideration completely. I submit that on such a
motion there can be nothing out of order and the Speaker would be correct in ruling,
as many have done, that he will not hear a point of order at that time. On Tuesday
night I sensed the mood of the House was fast reaching the point of grave disorder
and I decided it best to recess for a cooling-off period and also to have the opportun-
ity of consulting with the House Leaders. During this recess I received submissions
from them, and although still convinced that my interpretation of Standing Order 36
was correct, and in order to facilitate the business of the House, I agreed to proceed,
by agreement with the House Leaders, to hear the two alleged points of order and
deal with them in the House.
186 13th November 1981
Apparently this willingness on my part to consult and to co-operate is seen by
some as a sign of indecision. I truly regret this. I respectfully submit that surely it is
the duty and responsibility of the Speaker to ensure the business of the House is
carried on with dignity in a spirit of co-operation and in an expeditious manner. I
submit this was not the case on Tuesday evening November 3rd. The Speaker can
only preserve decorum and order by having the co-operation of all Honourable
Members. I further submit that had I not recessed the House at the time, and sought
consultation and advice, there would indeed have been a complete breakdown and
the business of the House would have ground to halt.
The Member for Ottawa Centre made reference to the fact that he had been
re-admitted after having been asked to withdraw from the service of the House. I
would remind the Member that there is no lack of precedent for this action as he may
well remember, having been re-admitted to the House by Speaker Reuter on June
22nd, 1972 after representations had been made on his behalf by his former Leader.
The following Bill was introduced and read the first time: —
Bill 167, An Act to Validate certain Road Closings and Conveyances in the City
of Ottawa. Mr. Bennett.
The Answers were tabled to Questions Nos. 176, 180 and 183 (See Hansard).
Returns to Questions were tabled as follows: —
No. 181 (Sessional Paper 267).
No. 182 (Sessional Paper 268).
No. 184 (Sessional Paper 269).
The House, according to Order, resolved itself into the Committee of Supply, to
consider Estimates of the Ministry of Northern Affairs,
and after some time,
Mr. Speaker resumed the Chair, and the Chairman reported progress, also,
That the Committee had directed him to ask for leave to sit again.
Ordered, That the report be received.
Resolved, That the Committee have leave to sit again.
Elizabeth II 13th and 16th November 187

The Interim Answers were tabled to Questions Nos. 186 and 192 to 220 inclu-

Mr. MacDonald moved, seconded by Mr. Mackenzie,
That this House has lost confidence in the Speaker's capacity to exercise the
responsibilities of the chair with adequate competence and impartiality, thereby
resulting in frequent infringement of the privileges of individual members and
jeopardizing the orderly conduct of the legislative business. Therefore this House: 1.
urges the Speaker to resign; and 2. establishes a committee made up of the House
leaders of each party which would report back an acceptable list of nominee(s) for
election by Members of the Legislature of a new Presiding Officer.

NINETY-FOURTH DAY
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10th, 1981
Prayers 10.00 O'Clock A.M.
Mr. Speaker addressed the House as follows: —
I would like to address all honourable Members on the matter raised yesterday
with respect to the release of information on Wintario Grants.
Members were rising on what they considered to be matters of privilege. I must
say that I find some difficulty in recognizing what privileges of the Members have been
abused. At best, there may be some disagreement with the method of distributing the
information on these grants by the Minister and his staff. I was asked to refer the
matter to the Procedural Affairs Committee. At the time I had some reservations as to
my authority to do so. However, after reviewing the terms of reference of that
Committee I find that I do indeed have that authority.
In my opinion I must inform the Members that I do not consider this to be a proper
matter to be referred to the Committee. As I stated earlier there seems to be a
disagreement with the way the Minister and his staff have handled the distribution of
the information on Wintario Grants. I believe this matter should properly be brought
before the Committee considering the Minister's estimates. Since they have completed
their work I suggest to the Members that there is still the concurrence Debate on the
Minister's estimates now on the Order Paper. However, I think the Minister is now
well aware of the dissatisfaction of the House.
The following Bills were read the third time and were passed: —
Bill 104, An Act to amend the Highway Traffic Act.
Bill 107, An Act to amend the Police Act.

That, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, recognizing that Canadians greatly
deplore the serious situation in Poland today, the imposition of martial law, involving

accords and the struggle of the Polish nation to secure these basic freedoms through
their rights which have been won by workers of Poland in the last 16 months through
their free trade union, Solidarity;
That, therefore, this House communicate through the Government of Canada to

Poland through Solidarity, our grave concern that there be no political or military
intervention by the Soviet Union;
And that this House urge the Government of Canada, and people everywhere, to
do everything in their power, while respecting the principle of non-intervention, to
support the solution of Poland's internal difficulties by means of the peaceful negotia-
tion between the Polish Government and the Polish people, and to support, as well, the
creation of a new form of society that will meet the needs of the people and respect the
rights of workers; and further to urge the Government of Poland to release those trade
union leaders who have been arrested.

Elizabeth II 15th December 239
NINETY-SEVENTH DAY
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15th, 1981
Prayers 2.00 O'Clock P.M.
Mr. Speaker addressed the House as follows:
I would like to address all Honourable Members on the alleged matter of privilege
brought before the House by the Member for Rainy River (Mr. Reid) with respect to
the newspaper article in the Globe and Mail of December 12th, 1981 relating to the
remarks made outside the House by the Attorney General.
After carefully reviewing the article I find the remarks by the Attorney General,
while perhaps unfortunate, hardly constitute a breach of privilege. I might say to the
Members of the House that, had the remarks been made in the House during the debate
on the Highway Traffic Act it is likely that I would have called on the Minister to
withdraw the allegations against the official Opposition as being out of order in
accordance with Standing Order No. 19 (d). Since these statements were made outside
the House I can hardly be expected to rule them out of order as the very fact that they
were made outside the House takes them outside my jurisdiction. I find that I am
reinforced in this opinion by Beauchesne's Parliamentary Rules and Forms, Fifth
Edition at page 12, paragraph 19 (3) "Statements made outside the House by a
Member may not be used as the base for a question of privilege."
The Member made reference to the fact that the former Member for High
Park-Swansea, Mr. Ziemba, made comments in a similar vein directed at the Premier
and the Government. After reviewing the records of Debates- 1975 at Page 747, 1 find
that even in that situation the Speaker of the day stated that the matter happened
outside the House and, therefore, he had no control over it. However, at Page 768, Mr.
Ziemba rose on a point of privilege and apologized to the Premier for his statements
made outside the House. He was not ordered by the Speaker at the time to withdraw
the comments.
I might also add that on three separate occasions that I have been able to discover,
Ontario Speakers have ruled that statements made by Members outside the House are
not subject to the rules respecting unparliamentary language (which would include
imputing motives):
On March 9th, 1965, Mr. Speaker Morrow ruled that "if it (accusation by one
Member that another is a liar) is made outside of the House there does not have to
be a retraction in the House. If the statement was made in the House, then I would
ask the Member to withdraw it in the House."
On October 9th, 1969, Mr. Speaker Cass ruled as follows: "Yesterday, the
Member for Sudbury East raised what he deemed to be a matter of privilege,
concerning statements made by the Member for Nickel Belt outside the House. I
pointed out to him at the time that I knew of no privilege of the House or of the
Members that is offended by remarks made by a Member outside the House."
On October 6th, 1980, Mr. Speaker Stokes ruled: "I am sure it is regrettable
any time any Member of the House accuses another Member of telling a false-
240 15th December 1981
hood. However, it was something that was said outside the House. The Member
is responsible for what he says out there and that is something over which we have
no control here in the House. If he does not choose to withdraw the remark or
apologize for it, there is nothing I can do. It was done outside the House."
Mr. Eves from the Standing Committee on Regulations and Other Statutory
Instruments presented the Committee's Second Report 1981. (Sessional Paper
No. 119 Part 2).
Mr. Breithaupt from the Select Committee on Company Law presented the

some time therein, Mr. Speaker resumed the Chair, and the Chairman reported
progress on Bill 15 1, An Act to amend the Credit Unions and Caisses Populaires Act.
Ordered, That the Report be now received and adopted.

The amendment to the motion as follows: —
That, the motion be amended by deleting all the words following "that", and
adding thereto the following:
This House regrets that the 1981 Budget fails to recognize the most serious and
fundamental problems facing Ontario today, and condemns the Government for:
— profiteering from increases in the price of gasoline by the imposition of an ad
valorem gasoline tax which compounds the effect of rising energy prices on
Ontario's consumers.
— its deliberate betrayal of the Premier's commitment of February 2, 1981 "to
combat inflation, through . . . avoiding tax increases", by adding a significant
burden to Ontario's taxpayers through a major increase in the personal income
tax.
— further increasing OHIP premiums, so that this regressive form of taxation has
now risen 109 per cent in five years or at an annual rate of 2 1.8 per cent, placing
an especially unfair burden on low-income earners.
-jeopardizing the quality of Ontario's universities and colleges by continuing to
fund inadequately even the basic requirements of the post-secondary system.
-refusing to recognize Ontario's industrial decline, and the need for a definitive
industrial strategy, as well as massive retraining programmes for Ontario
workers.
260 18th December 1981
— having no policies to help low and middle-income earners avoid further
hardship from the effects of rapidly rising prices.
— presenting no specific programmes to help small businesses, farmers and
homeowners to deal with record-high interest rates.
— failing to cut wasteful expenditures, while increasing the deficit by almost 25 per
cent.
and therefore this Government lacks the confidence of the House,
having been put, was lost on the same division.
The main motion having been put, was carried on the same vote reversed.

Assembly, I respectfully request Your Honour's Assent."
The Assistant Clerk then read the titles of the Bills that had passed as follows: —
"The following are the titles of the Bills to which Your Honour's Assent is

Mr. Speaker then said: —
"May it Please Your Honour:
We, Her Majesty's most dutiful and faithful subjects, the Legislative Assembly
of the Province of Ontario, in Session assembled, approach Your Honour with
sentiments of unfeigned devotion and loyalty to Her Majesty's person and Govern-
ment, and humbly beg to present for Your Honour's acceptance a Bill intituled, 'An
Act for granting to Her Majesty certain sums of money for the Public Service for the
fiscal year ending the 31st day of March, 1982'."
To this Act the Royal Assent was announced by the Clerk of the Legislative
Assembly in the following words: —
"The Honourable the Lieutenant Governor doth thank Her Majesty's dutiful
and loyal subjects, accept their benevolence and assent to this Bill in Her Majesty's
name".
The Honourable the Lieutenant Governor was then pleased to deliver the fol-
lowing gracious speech: —
Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly:
I am pleased to address you on this occasion, and to review some of the activities
of this First Session of the Thirty-Second Parliament of Ontario.
262 18th December 1981
In the past year and more, the major issues for Ontario, as for other Provinces,
have been matters of wide national significance, and the strength of our nation has
been tested on several fronts.
The tensions of the Constitutional Debate, which had dominated the affairs of
the nation, seemed to increase rather than diminish in the eyes of Canadians follow-
ing the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada on September 28th. In light of the
accord of November 5th, signed by nine of the Provinces and the Federal Govern-
ment, the long-standing support of all sides of this Legislature for Ontario's basic
position may be proudly placed on the record.
Ontarians rejoice with the rest of the nation on the passage of the Constitutional
resolution by the Federal Parliament. We look forward to the historic day of patria-
tion.
La joie eprouvee par la population de L'Ontario au moment ou le Canada est a
la veille de se doter d'une nouvelle constitution est teintee de regrets car le gouverne-
ment du Quebec est en disaccord avec le reste du pays. Nous esperons sincerement et
ardemment que Ton trouvera bientot un terrain d'entente qui assurera, a cet egard,
l'unite de l'ensemble du Canada et de l'ensemble des Canadiens.
Financial matters and the economy in general have been of primary concern
throughout the year. Ontario shares, with the other nine Provinces, concern about
large-scale reductions in Federal transfer payments, as proposed in current negotia-
tions and in the recent Federal budget. Ontario has, moreover, expressed strong
views on the negative aspects of the budget itself, in relation to providing needed
stimulus for investment and economic development, and has urged that specific
measures be reviewed.
Within its capacity to do so, the Province has adopted a number of measures to
maintain economic stability and encourage growth. These activities have been
largely consolidated in the new BILD program, which was established at the begin-
ning of the year. The Board of Industrial Leadership and Development is responsible
for designating specific projects within a total amount of $1.5 billion over 5 years, to
be spent by government and the private sector, to give increasing vitality and neces-
sary redirection to the Ontario economy.
After the first nine months, the record of the BILD program stood at $614
million in committed funds for projects over the 5-year period, of which $145 million
will go to approved projects in the current fiscal year. BILD funding has stimulated
private sector and other government investments to the extent of a further $275
million.
Within the BILD program, the Government has embarked on a wide range of
projects, in such areas as communications technology (including Telidon), forestry,
agricultural education, industrial and agricultural storage and packing, community
development corporations, youth employment counselling, mineral research and
development, tourism marketing, alternative transportation fuels, and development
of a world-scale biotechnology company.
The Government has every confidence in the contribution of these initiatives,
and of the BILD program as a whole, toward increasing the long-term productive
potential of the Province's economy.
Elizabeth II 18th December 263
The economic pressures during the course of the year have been hard on all
sides. Sustained high interest rates, which have only recently eased downwards,
dealt a particularly harsh blow to farmers and homeowners, prompting a need for
supportive measures.
Low prices exacerbated the credit problems faced by livestock producers, whose
income accounts for more than one-third of farm gate receipts. Under an emergency
plan announced in June, the Province allocated $37 million for cash payments to see
beef producers through this hardship. As of December 1st, an additional $20 million
is being made available to cow-calf producers, to help maintain the stability of the
beef industry, in the absence of an adequate national program.
Among measures taken during the year to meet needs in the housing field were:
the Ontario Neighbourhood Improvement Program, the Ontario Rental Construc-
tion Loan Program, and the Residential Energy Advisory Program. Reductions in
the differential between rural and urban hydro rates have been authorized under
amendments to the Power Corporation Act.
Legislation was passed to enlarge the mandate of the former Ministry of Hous-
ing to incorporate municipal affairs. A new approach to amalgamation or boundary
disputes between municipalities is now law. The new Planning Act has had second
reading and will receive Committee consideration over the winter.
In order to ensure greater participation by Ontario in the Canadian petroleum
industry, and as an investment in the Province's future, the Government has entered
into arrangements for the purchase of 25 per cent of the shares of the Sun Company
Incorporated, Pennsylvania. Under the proposal, as announced, other Canadian
investment will be sought to bring the level of Canadian ownership of shares in
Suncor to 51 per cent in the near future.
The shift from more traditional industries to new technologies is making itself
felt. In certain sectors of the economy, the impact of these changes has resulted in
harmful employee lay-offs. At the same time, the demand in newer areas, and
particularly in advanced technology skills, is rapidly increasing.
Our educational institutions have a crucial role to play in helping society to meet
these changes. Two studies, commissioned by the Government last year, were pub-
lished this fall, namely the report of the Secondary Education Review Project and the
final report of the Committee on the Future Role of Universities in Ontario.
Various programs are in place to forge stronger links between the educational
and industrial sectors. Over $3 million in BILD funds have been allocated to the
colleges of applied arts and technology to support 320 training programs. More than
12,250 training positions have been created.
As well, $8 million in BILD funds have been used to provide technology equip-
ment in the colleges, including items for electronics engineering technology pro-
grams, a robotics and fluid power laboratory, computer-controlled metal turning
and milling machines and equipment for a videotex training centre.
Tourism in Ontario had the best year ever in 1981, with especially high gains in
visits from the United States. Apart from the favourable exchange rate on U.S.
264 18th December 1981
funds, we can point to the appeal of the "Ontario . . . yours to discover" emblem
and campaign as having a lot to do with this success.
The report of the Royal Commission on Pensions, published early this year, has
received wide attention. A first response has since been prepared by a Select Com-
mittee of the Legislature, with recommendations for implementation proposals.
Pensioners, lower-income earners and persons on fixed incomes have been
granted a new home heating tax credit to protect against cost increases, through
amendments to the Ontario Pensioners Property Tax Assistance Act and the Income
Tax Act. About 1.4 million households will benefit from these measures.
Standing Committees of the House have given thorough consideration to the
Human Rights Code 1981, and to new legislation for civilian review of complaints
against the police, the latter being a pilot project specifically for Metropolitan
Toronto.
The revisions to the Human Rights Code are among the most extensive in its
19-year history, and now include handicap, marital and family status, as prohibited
grounds of discrimination, among other provisions. In passing this legislation, this
House can feel justifiably proud of a statute which reflects the high public conscience
of Ontario's citizens.
Services for Francophone citizens have been markedly improved. An advertis-
ing campaign and the new "Renseignements Ontario" program have served an
extremely useful purpose in promoting services available in French throughout the
government. The right to use French in civil trials, to come into effect next April 1st,
will cover 80 per cent of Ontario's Francophone population. Access to bilingual
criminal trials is already available to 100 per cent of the French-speaking population.
Administration of the government-wide customer service program is now con-
centrated in a new Service Development Division of the Ministry of Government
Services, reinforcing the continuing high priority of this aspect of government opera-
tions.
The International Year of Disabled Persons received widespread recognition
throughout the community. A government-sponsored advertising campaign to
heighten public awareness and participation met with tremendous success. New
initiatives affecting several existing government programs for disabled persons
included the extension of basic eligibility for family benefits, additional attendant
care services, improved access to provincial parks and revised rules for sales tax
rebates on vehicles for use by the disabled.
Long-lasting benefits to the disabled will also derive from amendments to regu-
lations under the Building Code for better access to newly constructed buildings, and
from a Wintario capital grant for improvements to public cultural and recreational
facilities.
Honourable Members, these and other matters have provided a full agenda for
this Legislature throughout the Session. They are indicative of the wide concerns that
prevail in our large and complex society. The demands on government, and the
Elizabeth II 18th December 265
responsibilities you bear in responding to them, have been considerable and, at
times, onerous. I commend your sense of duty and the progress you have achieved.
In closing, may I take this opportunity to wish you a safe and pleasant holiday
season.
In our Sovereign's name, I thank you.
I now declare this Session prorogued.
The Government House Leader then said: —
Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly:
It is the will and pleasure of the Honourable the Lieutenant Governor that this
Legislative Assembly be prorogued and this Legislative Assembly is accordingly
prorogued.
