George Ashe MPP defends regional governînent EDITOR'S NOTE Durhanm We3t MPP George Ashe, as a former nîayor of Pickering and mnember of thc Durhiamr Regional Council from Jaîîuary 1 974 until his election to the Legisiature in lune 1977, is well qualified to speak on the subject of regional government. The following are remnarks on regfional government, police services, and grom. th areas voiced by Mr. Aslie in a debate on an act to amend the Ontario Uncondi- tional Grants Act of 1975. Mr. Ashe's words are taken as reported in Hansard, the daily record of speeches in the legislature, for' June 2l9. This was his first major speech in the legisiature ... REGIONAL GOVERNMENT The thing that amnazes me is how we have many experts who have really not been involved in that particularlevel of governiînent and don't really know what is going on. In actual fact they are one of the reasons there have been sonie problems with it. The attitude of some niembers in that corner of the House, out in the huntings, and out out in the areas, has been very negative. lnstead of beinig positive to hielp impie- nment it îindniake it werk, they have donc everythiing te make il difficiîlt for t he cominiit ments ofrthait level eof goevernnient. As the mcmhber 1-0r Wela n d-T or old iniiîcaited, there is ne doubt at ail that cesi s in t he regienlalized areas are semewliat ighcr thianii i the iinregieiializcd a rea s. île did indicate . an d it is fact the main reason for tl, aind 1 fiLTHIS WEEk'SL USED CAR SPECIALSI1 1977 CHEVELLE MALIBU 2 door, V-8, auto., pis, p/b, radio.

That, of course, is one cf thie reasons why regional governerit is generally dcingîg ts task and doing its job; albeit on the shor t terni at somnewhat higlier costs, because in equalizing the level of service tlîroughout a wide area;, expanding tlie level cf service over a wide regionalized area, there is ne doubt that there are substantial capital costs in the earlier years. Thiis is what lias been seen in most regienal areas, and 1 would suggest te you, Mr. Speaker, and te members cf the House that this is levelling eut and will level out in inost areas when it lias had tirne te operate. CONDITIONAL GRANTS Getting more specifically te Bill 6, 1 think it is an area cf course that is appreciated by ail municipalities, thids is net the greatest area cf con- cern te municipal goverrnnîent, aind I have been a party te tuai system for srnie seven and a hiaîf years up until about a couple of weeks ago.

He ist quite aware of that, and made1 reference to that fact yester-1 day. That really doesn't comneî to a great deal in Bill 6.1 Municipalities this. year1 generally were quite in faveurj cf the increases that are pro-1 posed by tlîis bill and, cfi course, their budgets were set with the particular figures inîdcated in this bill iii mmnd. POLICE GRANTS One cf the concerns-and this. also was expressed yesterday; l'm net sure whether it was by tlieprevieus speaker or by a former speaker-is the unconditional grant for police purpeses. There is ne doubt in my experience, and from hearing the experiences cf ether peo pIe who have been involved in the municipal level cf government forthe last num¶îber cf years, that the police commrissiens generally seeni te have taken upon tliemselves that when there was an increase in thie police grant in any forni, whether it be in the regionalized areas or non-regionalized areas, that thut this really was a licence to spend these extra dollars witlîin the police function. 1 would recommnîd te tlîe Treasurer and suggest that in a future year-l'mn not sug- gesting il is in tlîis particular Bill 6 at ah -pessibly the uinconditiouîal graîîts should actually 1be a total dollar grant and net specifically ideîîtified for police purposes, and possibly sornie of the areas that the police ccrnissions have been taking untc their ewn te spend these source et' fuuids iniglît be seinewhat îlot as identîifiable for the ni.

Possibly consideration cani be given in a future amendment te this bill to recognize municipalities in growth areas so that they can get an advantage of a mnore up to date, probably average figure of what the population they serve and offer their services to might be from one year to the other. In closing, 1 think Bill 6 before us should be expedi- tiously handled by the House so that the moneys that have been indicated and programn- med and used in the budgets of the various respective municipalities, whether they be local or whether they be regional, can be implemented. Let's get on with the job. Thank you.
