WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. IULY 29. 1981. PAGE 9 Report from Q ueen 9's Park By THE HON. GEORGE ASilE, NIPP (PC - Durham West) Ontario Minister of Revenue Groundbrea king next week On January 27 of this year, Premier Bihl Davis made an ambitions promise to the people of On- tario. He established the Board of Industrial Leadership and Development to pioneer economic expansion throughout the province. Since that time major projects have been initiated, some of which, I think, will be of particular interest to you. A $1.5 million boan guarantee has been approved for a company to operate a ferry service across Lake Ontario. The ferry is oeprating a "roll-on, roll-off " service for truck trailer traffic between Oshawa and Oswego, New York. This service pro- vides an alternate route for container traffic bet- ween Ontario and our neighbours to the south, and will relieve some of the congestion on Ontario's highways. This project is opening up a lot of opportunities in Durham. In addition to providing employment for some 60 people, it adds to the appeal of our region, and provides another incentive for industry to locate east of Metropolitan Toronto. The project is successfully in place, and the ferry is operating one round trip every 24 hours. To develop this and other services, Oshawa Har-bour is undergoing substantial development under the supervision of the nçwly established *Ontario Harbour and Small Ports Commission'. Another very exciting project is being launched in Durham. Next week the Premier and I wilI be taking part in the ground breaking ceremony for the approximately $80 million new L.C.B.O. warehouse facility in Whitby. This project will feature the most advanced design and technology to be developed by Canadians and will service the entire Metropolitan Toronto area. The project is being directed by the new Office of Procurement Policy. Whenever possible, the Government of Ontario will use its purchasing power and its funding support for local govern- ments, boards and agencies to promote the develop- ment of manufacturing in Canada and to stimulate technological innovation. This new office will be an important instrument in Ontario's long run strategy to broaden markets for Canadian manufacturers. The highly automated L.C.B.O. facility is expec- ted to open in the faîl of 1984. I strongly support this project, and look forward to its development. A little further from home, the Government of On- tario has designed a FUTUREDOME exhibit for this year's CNE which will provide Ontarians with an illustration of "Building Ontario in the 80's. " Housed in a futuristic geodesic dome, the display will lead visitors into the future and outline sonie of the highlights of the provincial government's economic plan for Ontario. Seven thousand feet of display space has been built around a large screen OHIP a TF cheques AI A spokesman for the district office of the On- tario Health Insurance Plan said that those people expecting to receive a medical claims payment cheque can pick them Up at their office. A medical dlaims payment cheque is for those people who have had to seek the services of a physician who has opted out of . H.1. P. HoweIL"vr, a befo ýMre teledon demon.-tration where visitors can ask questions of an electronfic wizard. This display will feature a working demonstration of the transportation initiatives which form a major component of BILD's plans. A car powered by natural gas, a tractor by alcohol, an extra long bus that bends to go around difficuit corners, and a display of rapid transit vehicles produced by On- tario's Urban Transportations Development Corp- oration illustrate future means of transportation. Trees that grow extremely fast - hybrid poplars - wilI help meet our needs for puip and fuel, and will b>e displayed with nuclear generations and hydro in- stallation displays. Teledon terminais have been set up to show how children. will learn in the future, and a word processor will give career information for retraining and apprenticeship programs. The display centre is sponsored by the Board of In- dustrial Leadership and Development. It is clear that Premier Davis and this govern- ment is keeping the promise. Opportunities are opening up which wilI give Ontarians a chance to further develop our skills and talents, and ensure Ontario a prominant position in tomorrow's market- place. The BILD initiatives are just the beginning. Deadline Friday In honor of the Civic Holiday, the offices of the Whitby Free Press wiIl be closed next Monday, August 3.
