Report from -1 Queen's Park By, GEORGE ASHE NIPP (PC)-DURHAM WEST) The opening of the Legislature this month was highlighted by the gracious delivery of the Speech from the Throne by On- tario's Lieutenant Governor, Her Honour Pauline McGibbon. While indicating the direction of the Government of Ontario proposes to take in the months ahead with regard to policies, programs and legislation, the Thron Speech also captured and relayed the optimism of this government and the confidence we share in Ontario's future. The issues we face as a province cannot be solved in a vacuum, but instead, demand a more broad-based and in- tegrated approach. The energy challenge provides a clear example. Trends in crude oil pricing continue to provide mounting evidence of the need to reduce oil consumption. Through both public programs and private enterprise initiative, we shall be continuing our exploration and development of innovative energy alternatives such as biomass, fuel alcohol and solar energy. Our efforts to conserve energy will include an indepth study of the use of electronic communications, development of bulk transportation by rail and ship, as well as car and van pooling. Legislative amendments will be introduced this session to the Charity art auction Local and regional artists are offering their works in various media at an Art Auction sponsored by Piyah Chapter of Hadassah-Wizo. The Auction will be held on Sunday, April 20,1980, at the Paul Giovis Gallery in Oshawa. The preview will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and the auctioneer, Mr. Henry Kahn, will begin the auction at 8 p.m. Henry Kahn, assisted by his wife, Gayle, began "Herongate Country Auc- tions" in Pickering area NOW IS THE TIME TO REPAIR THAT BROKEN WINDOW ::OR SCREEN FOR FAST EFFICIENT REPAIRS AT COMPET VISIT Wanda & Tony Mai E COMPLETEHARDV about nine years ago. These auctions are held weekly, and since they specialize in antique and collectible items many people attend on a regular basis. Over the years, this unique husband and wife team has developed much knowledge and exper- tise on the subject of an- tiques. Henry has lived in the Brooklin, Whitby, and Oshawa area most of his life. He, his wife Gayle, and their two daughters presently reside in Port Perry. ITIVE WHITRY FREE PRFSS. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 2, 1980, PAGE 15 Speech shows government's confidence in Ontario's future Ontario Building Code to ensure adequate insulation of in- dustrial sites. This additional activity in the field of energy should act to stimulate employment and growth of new business enter- prises. The successful employment development fund, which was created last year, will be maintained along with our widely recognized ship canadian program. Further to establishing the Ontario export development corporation, there shall be increased emphasis placed on industrial skills training programs and legislation introduced to encourage sound labour/management relations. Equality of opportunity in the workplace will continue to be a high priority of the government as we remind employers of the equal pay law. With regard to the environment, more research into the disposal of hazardous substances will be undertaken along with support of municipal environmental projects, recycling initiatives and an international strategy to coinbat acid rain. In the field of agriculture, legislation will be prepared to monitor the amount of foreign ownership of our farmlands. As well, agricultural resouce centres will be established to provide information on production technology and energy management. Beef producers can anticipate the introduction of a bill to create a financial protection fund. Health care is a concern each of us shares and the months ahead will see no wavering of our commitment to maintain and develop the high standards of excellence found throughout our health system. An additional 600 nursing beds will be ad- ded this year to our province's hospitals, small hospital operations will be enhanced and delivery systems in the north and southwest will be upgraded. In the social services, the government will make creative use of the existing resources in order to protect and upgrade standards already achieved. The core curriculum in our schools will remain, while additional effort will be made to allow the poor, the sick and the handicapped to gain greater control over the direction of their lives. The proposals developed in the Throne Speech aim to en- courage the self-rehiance, hard work,-initiative and respon- sibility of every Ontario resident and, as such, provide a sound basis for the continued prosperity of Ontario.
