"As a former coun- cillor I sympathized with the municipalities' wish to lighten the burden of the local taxpayer. " Although municipalities will no longer be reqwired to make a financial con- tribution towards assisted housing losses, there will be no change in municipal in- volvement in housing studies and policy develop- ment. Further, munîipalities will continue to be involved in the management of OHC rentai units through their participation in the appoin- tment of members to the boards on Ontario's 59 local housing authorities, Bennett said. Mumicipalities will be responsible for their ful share of the 1979 losses but only one quarter of the an- ticipated 1980 losses, and none thereafter. Under this plan, the cost presently borne by t.he Town of Whitby of $39,400 will be absorbed by the Ontario government.
