later flared up to ignite the shed firemen liad little trouble in dousing the flames but had to rip some boards off the shed to get at it the small building is adjoin ed by a larger barn job makers canadian manufacturing in each month of 1958 provided employment for an overage of 1146 156 canadian men and women this represented nearly 43 per cent of all nonagricultural employment in canada trie combined income of those engaged in manufacturing in 1958 was slightly less than 5 billion or about 3l per cent of all canadian wages salaries and supplementary labor income manufacturing is- by far rh most important part of the canadian economy manufacturing provides the greatest amount of employment in canada it makes by far the largest contribution to government revenues its production enables canadians to enjoy the second highest standard of living in the world because of its contribution to our way of life canadian manufacturing deserves the sjpport of every canadian through the purchase of goods made in canada steel is the foundation of all our manufacturing and stelco is canada s largest steel producer the steel company of canada limited montreal gananoque hamilton irahtfom toronto mr speaker it is a pleasure for me to join the previous speakers in this assembly in paying my respects to you in the honourable and dignified manner in which you deliberate your responsibility as speaker of this assembly i would also like to welcome the new members that have been elected to this assembly since its last sitting and now mr speaker i would like to say a few words about the riding that it is my honor th rep resent during the course of the past few years ontario has witnessed unprecedented industrial growth and it is natural that with hal top being located so near to the present industrial area that this expansion should find reflection in the county for many years one of the most productive farm areas of the province halton county now finds its farm boun danes being pushed back by ever encroaching industry today new shopping centres stand on what was once some of the best agri cultural land within the riding coupled with the expansion of industry is a corresponding devel opment of housing this in turn has made necessary an expansion of facilities including churches schools hospitals community halls rinks and arenas 3 during the past few years we have seen a quickened tempo in our industrial and commercial life industry has attracted large influx of population repre senting practically all walks of life it is inevitable that such ex pansion has created a terrific de mand for anous services water must be supplied along with sew age disposal services and a great ly increased demand for electrical energy must be met new schools must be built and staff td all of this in turn imposes heavy munici pal responsibilities making it es sential that each municipality must reciitc all the assistance possible real estate taxes must not be burdensome to the point where thc threaten both indus tr and home ownership here is where the ontario government ficcs and i ma sa meets one its hi a itsl responsibilities i can sa with confidence that our municipalities today are for tunatt in having at the head of the gov irnment of ontario a prime minister who has full reali of the need at the munici pal level it is particular rrati i ing that he has a profound knowledge of the needs of rural ontario halton county is a progressive county blessed with many public- spirited citizens who are proud of and eager to support any project for the good of the community at large in capsule form here are some of tho accomplishments of the riding we have one of the fin est homes for the aged known as the halton manor and this year we are building a 90 000 00 addt tion to the premises in addition the department of education has purchased property in the county and will in the near future erect a 2 000 000 00 school for the deaf it is probably not so well known but halton county has some of the finest gas wells in canada and drilling is being continued with the prospects for further develop ment being reported as exceed ingly good gas produced within the county is being used for heat ing and industrial purposes in the towns of milton georgetown and acton one oil refinery in the county is in full operation while another is in the course of con struction i would indeed be remiss if 1 did not mention the extremely successful campaign put on by the communit which has for its objective the raising of 750 000 for the joseph brant memorial hospital at burlington the con struction of the hospital will re sult in increased health service to the county and coupled with the hospital at oakvillc bring modern hospital sen ice to the area in addition to these two hopi tals it is a real source of pleas ure to me that the ontario gov ernment has established a credit of 153 000 for the milton dis trlct hospital at milton the grant is calculated on the basis of 2 000 for each of 58 active treat ment beds 666 66 for each of 18 nursery bassinets with the bal ance of the credit being based on auxiliary services accommodation it has been said before but jt is well worth repeating that pro vincial grants in aid of the muni cipahties have reached an all time high making all due allow ance for inflation there is an en ormous increase from less than 20 million as of the time this government took office to about 260 million in this present fiscal year i education grants this year are totalling about 37 million they were about 8 million a year when our friends across the way were in power they were living in a different age of course some of tfeem in their thinking have dotw i look upon as a political stone age or turn to municipal road sub sidies under 4 million a year under a former government this year over 81 million the hon leader of the opposl tion mr wintermeyer in a tele vision address the other day said we have no adequate highways network there are none so blind las those who will not see let him look around today the provincial treasury turns over to the municipalities some 40 per cent of all its re venues in grants of one typeor another to each dollar raised provincially the province adds about 50 cents and as his honour the lieutenantgovernor n his address of a few daysago stated these grants these huge payments to help our local gov crnments will again and again with the consent of this house be increased to help carry the mum cipal load and to at least hold down the local taxes on our homes and our farms and our local places of commerce and indus try let me quote an instance to show how provincial aid helps one of our halton townships the rapidly developing township of trafalgar fn trafalgar the local tax levy for 1058 is reduced by these pay merits which i quote in round fig ures education grants 601 000 highway grants 285 000 welfare grants 17 000 unconditional grants 65 000 other grants 5 000 973 000 here we hae almost 1 million from the provincial treasury to aid one township and remember that aid on a proportionate scale went to every township and to our towns and villages burling ton milton georgetown oakviue acton and all the rest of the townships our population in halton was 33 272 in 1947 b the end of 1957 it has in creased to 70 006 in fact the population has increased from about 6 000 in 1948 to more than 18 000 toda the 1947 assessment upon which 1948 grants were based was about 24 million or 716 30 per capita the 1947 assessment about j125 million or 1 788 per capita an incrcase of 250 per cent in 1948 the gross grant for elementary schools was about 352 000 but in 1958 the gross grant was 2 400 000 put in another way in 1948 the gross grant per capita was 10 57 while in 1958 it was 34 47 per capita an increase of 326 per cent it follows that the legislative- grant for education has increas ed more than 1 times as much as the population and had there fore more than kept pace with the phenomenal growth of this country i spoke previously of our oopu lation increase in 1947 33 000 in 1939 according to recent fig ures about 98 000 leaving grants the money factor out of the question sure ly such growth indicates a heal thy economic climate and the promotion of a healthy invigor ating economic climate is one of the topmost duties of successful democratic government i should like to again refer briefly to the subject of educa tion it is perhaps ontatios most absorbing problem last september 1200 000 pupils were enrolled in ontario s elem entary and secondary schools this means that one in every five of our population is attending one of ontario s 7 500 schools with their 39 000 classrooms staffed by 39 500 teachers under the direction of 3900 school boards over a quarter of billion dollars is yearly spent on operating expenses while an additional 55 million of capital funds is the expenditure for new schools and other facilities in 1945 the basis of grant dis tribution was changed grants rose from 8 4 million to 23 4 million thus the grants were almost tripled bv 1950 other radical changes were introduced there were ast changes in local population and in assessments in one way ttr another the- scheduled were revised ceilings were raised on approved costs commencing in 1955 the pro vince paid a supplementary per pupil grant beginning in that year at 4 per pupil this grant was raised to 11 per pupil in 1957 as to elementary schools and 20 to 30 per pupil in continu ation schools high schools and vocational schools i a huge- task lay in the equaliz ing of assessment for grant pur poses a factor just now coming into operation a grantneed factor has been adopted this gives assistance to school boards in areas where ra pid growth baa required school ccn with the a a very few words the grantneed factor is a complete innovation its aim in principle and in prac tice is to direct additional assist ance to those rapidly expanding areas and we have many of them that are required to pay large debt charges and other extraordin ary costs the whole development of our school grant system is founded on continuing study and painstaking research extending over many years jt is part of a rational planrieiteffort to continue to main tain and to develop high stan dards of education for our people without placing upon them an un bearable load of taxation i turn very briefly to the sub ject of hydro i in 1943 our hydro plants tfiad an output of 98 billion kilowatts today the capacity 1 30 dilhon three fold expansion 9 hydro today operates 65 hydros electric and two major steam electric plants the dependable peak capacity is 5 7 million horse power we shall hear in due course about the st lawrence develop ment 1 should like however to say a word about two or three major developments located m or near the locality i have the honour to represent first construction is under way on a steamelectric installation at long branch the huge pliant wil have a capacity of about 200 000 horsepower double the capacity of the st lawrence in stallation there is projected a similar vast installation in the burling ton area in a word hydro is not only keeping pace with the onrushing demand for additional power but is also building for the future with the opening of the deep waterway with every lake port in ontario becoming an ocean port with our vast northern resources of forest and mine with our great agricultural potential who can can say what that future will be the department of highways are to be congratulated on being able to construct highways fasti enough to accommodate transpor tat ion so vital to the development of our great province the construction of the burling ton skyway over the canal at burlington on the queen elizabeth way is one of the greatest en gmecnng projects in modern times a similar structure will be constructed in the near future
