These includéçl the Drug Addiction Research Foundation, the Crop In- surance Commission of On- taro, the Ontario Board of Parole and the Social Assistance Review Board.

In addition, it was suggested that the Ministry assume gireater responsibility for providing the public with information on alcoholism and drug abuse. The Social Assistance Review Board ensures that in- dividuals who receive social assistance benefits are treated fairly and equitably under the administration process. In reviewing the Board, the Commnittee focussed on ways to improve its efficiency and productivity. A number of recommendations deait with speeding up the Board's decision-making pÎôess. The Committee recommended that the possibility of creating- regional boards, which would be in close touch with the communities they serve, be examined.
