Minister with special jurisdic tion over Issues of particular concern to women has been strongly favoured by tbe Ontario Liberal Parly for some time interested in substance than symbolism We have therefore called upon the new Minister to take early and decisive action on number of Issues Equal Pay Legislation Three decades after the adoption of the Female Employees Fair Remuneration Act in 1951 bow much progress has been made Full time working women eam on average per cent of a mans wage Average Income of families headed by women is about a year compared to a man Wage gap between men and women workers is almost as great as at the height of the depression years ago Our Party has been on record in favour of equal pay for work of equal value since Affirmative Action The governments threeyearold Affirmative Action Program in the Ontario public service is a bitter joke for women Its total lack of effectiveness is abund antly clear from statistics In the executive ranks there are men and only 1 women Of public earning more than a year 275 are men and only women in spite of the Tact that women make up per cent of the total public service Our party Is definitely in favour of mandatory Affir mative Action of equal for women Family violence When is the government going to take action on the serious and widespread problem of family violence including funding for transition houses When will the Select Committees Report on Wife Battering be brought before the Legislature When will the government make some serious and sincere attempt to bring hope and assistance to battered wives and their children accept tokenism stalling or empty gestures There is a cry ing need for effective and far reaching legislation They want action and so do we Womens Perspective S3 On the ltth May the Ontario Libera Womens Perspective Advisory Committee sponsored a highly successful all day Womens Per spectives 83 in Toronto at which David Peterson urged women to become political

for Hamilton Centre in positions of power Enquiry Rejected Conservative members of a legislative committee have rejected an attempt by the opposition to instigate an in vestigatlon into the provinces million refurbishing of Lodge They maintained that nothing new would be learned by such an investigat ion In the Public Accounts Committee they strongly defended the million total expense including the million spent to improve roads and the airport saying it will help tourism and create jobs in the North Our Party has been con and actively concerned with this problem since 1977 and three years ago David Peterson tabled a Private Members Bill proposing a charge on every marriage licence for the purpose of creat ing a fund to establish and support transition houses Pornography The Govern ment must make a real attempt to come to grips with the issue of the new pornography filled with violence cruelty and hatred This is a social Issue which requires a swift response by Government Liberal James Bradley St Catharines said the opposition is not North or tourism However he said the committee should investigate to see if the provinces money could have been better spent elsewhere Diploma Mills According to a spokesman Tor the Federal Bureau of Invest In the United States three mailorder universities in Ontario have issued diplomas and medical degrees for a fee without requiring their graduates to do any school work or even attend classes Legislation is being intro duced by the Minister of Colleges and Universities which will spell out clearly who can award university degrees In this province The Minister told the Legislature that Ontarios degrees arc recognized world wide but that fly by night operations which work out of post office boxes have recently sullied the provinces tion Until the legislation becomes law this province will remain one of the few which doesnt require regulation of degree- granting organizations Region briefs Welfare cases up 35 Despite talk of a growing economic improvement the regions welfare case load increased per cent March compared to the same month last year The report presented to tbe regions social service committee attributed tbe growth to the poor jobs market and the fact that employable Hal ton residents now make up the majority of the case load For the first time in at least five years more em pi able than nonemployable Hal ton residents are receiving benefits according to acting Income maintenance manager David Siwarc The social services department stated that there were people collecting welfare benefits in March this year up from people receiving the benefits last year at the same time Double payment Visitors to the Halton Region Museum con be faced with paying an entrance fee to it as well as another fee to get Inside Kelso Conservation Area a problem curator of the Museum Ernie Buchner Is hoping to rectify The problem of the double fee was brought up at the Wednesday regional administration and finance committee meeting It quite right that the double gated fee docs cause problems because the public doesn realize the one and the conservation authority runs the other explained the administrator All they is that they are paying about to get Into the gate and then they re hit with another fee he added He lotd committee members that a joint admission fee is being considered as a solution to the problem Day care problems Two representatives from day care centres warned the regions social ser vices committee last Tuesday afternoon that the quality of day care services could suffer in the long run if the region docs not increase its subsidies to centres Eastwood and Peter Brant from two Burlington day care centres both pleaded their cases to the comm ittee claiming they could not continue
