attacks certain prob lems it does so in a piecemeal fashion it is not an imaginative nor a tar sighted approach to ontarios taxation problems the government has selected two of these points as election bait the total cost is likely to be in a neighbourhood of 120 million dollars per year but to pay for this the government says there will be no increased taxa tion in 19681 when win we pay tor this and how ifautbepoints in the smith report for 1968 and 1969 are adopted by the govern- jnent it win mean programs to talling 3901 mluion dollars per year is the government going to implement such costly rec ommendations if so when and how does it propose to pay for them does this government not have the responslbiuty now oaring this election campaign to indicate just what they intend to
