I i 10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 30,1983 Section Two Queen's Park Report By Sam Cureatz M.P.P. C.S.S. Students Raise Funds for United Way Last week, my colleague, Provincial Treasurer Larry Grossman outlined details details of our government's government's new public sector wage and price restraint program. In this column, I would like to explain some of the highlights, and how it will contribute to our continuing fight against inflation. It has been decided not to legislate rigid wage controls this year because in the long term, relying on government government legislation is not the answer. Real restraint can only be achieved through the commitment of all those involved in the bargaining bargaining process. To provide fairness and flexibility for both employers and employees in the public sector, there will be full collective bargaining. In order to contain inflation, inflation, the government will provide for average compensation increases of up to 5 per cent. This will be done by placing limits on our grants and transfers to municipalities, municipalities, public agencies and school boards, as well as limits on the money set aside for the government's own civil servants. The principle of limit ing funding increases in transfers will also be applied to the OHIP fee schedule which determines determines payments to physicians. The schedule of benefits was to have been increased by 7 per cent on April 1, 1984. Instead it will be adjusted to 5 per cent. It is important to point out that the 5 per cent guideline on compensation compensation increases applies to groups of employees, not individuals. With the return to collective bargaining, it will be up to the parties to decide how wages should be distributed in a settlement. In any bargaining unit, some employees might receive larger percentage increases than others. The point is: the average group increase must remain at or below the accepted limit. The 5 per cent figure we have chosen is not tied to any current or anticipated rate of inflation. inflation. Rather, our government believes it is a fair, reasonable and responsible amount, given current economic conditions and the need for continued restraint.

We believe that last year's system of restraining those prices was very fair, and an administered price program will be continued this year.

Public sector wages in Ontario increased increased by 5.9 per cent in the second quarter of this year - down from 12.7 per cent the year before.

If rapid inflation inflation occurs, the jobs which have been created and many more, could be lost. We would be risking all we have regained. However, the burden of restraint cannot be shouldered by public sector employees alone. Business and labour leaders too must set and make realistic wage agreements which reflect reflect their own commitment to restraint. restraint. In the final analysis, we must all work together to create a more secure economic environment - one which contains inflation, encourages new job creation and anchors recovery in our province.
