2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, August 16tk,. 1978 CIRCLE OF DANGER Each day an ever-widening circle of danger surrounds mankind. t is a vicious circle that reaches the front pages only occasionally. t is the combination of babies and bombs. Each day, the world's nations are spending considerably more than $1 billion on their bombs and their military establishmnents. And each day, 170,000 new babies corne into a world threatened by a shortage of basic resources. In a century that is haunted by the memory of two global wars and countless lesser but nevertheless grisly confliets, the great powers and ail of the smaller nations are spending between $375 billion and $400 billion on various military expenditures each year. The $350 billion figure for the year 1976 represented more than the combined national product of South Asia, the Far East and Afrîca. The danger of proliferation of weapons is matched only by the other potential disaster, facing humanity ,- * ovrpoulaton.If present trends continue, Mexico, one century from today, will have a larger populatin than the Soviet Union and China cornbined. An unchecked population *in the poorer lands will mean that the already crowded island nation of Indonesia would have 1.78 billion people in 100 years, or almost haif the present population of the globe. The circle of danger can and must be broken. A greater awareness of the twin curses that haunt us - arrns proliferation and overpopulation - can help meet the crisis. Once people understand fully that only they thernselves can control the destiny of humanity, the solution will be at least within our grasp.

[-SAM&T QU EE1N'SPARK- Report from Queen's ParkÏ Sam Cureatz, M.P.P., 14 Durham East M I In talking with my constit- uents these past sumrner xnontbs, one of the rnost common concerns I heard was the frustration of the business comrnunity with government forms and regul- ations. I can understand their problems because I used to practice law and assist people to wade through the morass of governmnent regulations. In this respect I'd just like to say that Queen's Park has undertaken several initiativ- es to streamline the process of government. One initiative is what's called "deregulat- ion" and another is the establishment of the Agency Review Comrnittee. In Ontario, deregulation is neither political window dres- sing nor superficial jargon. It's becorne a rnatter of urgent government priority which was first ou tlined in the Speechfrorn the Throne last Felbruary. In short, the government would like to improve cust- orner service, cut red tape and elirninate unnecessary regulations. A process has been set in motion whereby ail Ministries are reviewing their regulat- ory process and making recommendations for change. I feel the governrnent's record over the last while exhibits how serious it is about deregulation, self - regulation by industry rather than government and about cuttmng red tape. Just as an example, in two major industries affecting millions of people in this province, the governrnent is moving towards seif-regulat- ion. For both insurance and real estate, rnuch of the government's role in regulat- ion is being turned over to the industry directly. The Agency Review Corn- mittee was also first announ- ced in the Speech frorn the Throne. Essentially, the Corn- mittee has two mandates. The first is to review in conjunction with the respon- sible Miisters ail agencies of the government with a vîew to streamlining where possible. There are about 300 various boards, agencies and com- missions which have an, operational or regulatory role in the government. Many of these agences were establish- ed several years ago. With -changing conditions and priorities,, it should be possible to elirninate, amal- garnate or otherwîse alter the existing arrangements, pro- ducing better or equal results with fewer resources. The second mandate is to analyze the various methods that could be ernployed to ensure that ageies are adequately controlled on an ongoing basis. I arnsure most of you are aware there, has been considerable discussion regarding the introduction of some forrn of sunset legisiat- ion for the agencies- of government. This technique will be only one of rnany explored by the Cornrittee. I arn confident that the recom- mendations of the Comrittee will ensure that the remain- ing agencies of government are controlled >n an integrat- ed and co-ordînated fashion and that- new agencies are established only wheni that particular form of organizat- ion is required. 1 had a very pleasant visit with Mr. and Mrs. Gorrie of Oshawa who celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary. I also spent a very pleasant hour at Roy Foster's annual barbecue near Kendal at which he spreads goodwill throughout the cornrnumty.
