> Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvilic, Wednesday, June 2,1993 3 ( li Reooit from • - Parliament Hill by Ross Stevenson, M.R, , J Last week, the week following the Victoria Day holiday is by tradition "Constituency Week." No government government business, either in the House or in Committee, is carried out and this allows members to spend a few days in their riding. I spent time with local doctors, hearing the concerns of their profession. I spent time with members members of the Regional Social Services Committee, again listening to their concents about some programs. I was also asked to be one of the Judges for Durham Geography Teachers Association Fair at Port Perry High School. On Friday, at the Oshawa Centre, I received over 15,000 signatures on a petition from the Citizens for Cancer Centre, which is very much needed in our area. I also represented the Solicitor General at a retirement party for three retiring Scugog Fire Chiefs. Then, there was the regular Port Perry constituency clinic on Saturday, Saturday, attendance at the Courticc Carnival Carnival to help to raise money for a Community Community Centre, and finally, the Annual Bowmanvilic Sea Cadet Inspection Inspection at Newcastle Arena. Interlaced Interlaced with all those activities, I spent time in the constituency office meeting meeting with constituents, and I also found time to visit with some constituents constituents in their homes. Next week, it's back to the Legislature, Legislature, more debate on Bill 38 (Sunday (Sunday Shopping) and no doubt some real shenanigans over the budget and the Social Contract! In last week's column, I said I would make some comment this week about the "big issue" doctors. No doubt you have seen the advertisements advertisements in the newspapers which condemn the NDP for the present situation. situation. That doesn't surprise me at all, we get blamed for everything past, present and even the weather! I heard someone refer to the rain last week as being a curse of society from the NDP - hey, come on now! I don't think there is any doubt that along with the other provinces, we recognize the need to manage the supply and distribution of physicians. Ontario is, and has been for several several years (long before the NDP) over- supplied in doctors. ïn 1975, there were 14,500 licensed doctors in Ontario. Ontario. By 1990, there were 21,400 - an increase of 47.3%. The population of the province increased by only 19.4% during the same period. Other provinces have already introduced measures to restrict the numbers of practising doctors resulting in increasing increasing numbers of physicians from other provinces establishing practices here.. ' r . Using guidelines established by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Canadian Medical Association, Ontario currently has an oversupply of approximately 3,100 physicians. In spite of this, there is an Outlook From Page 2 slowly bunted to reduce its mass. There is no provision to create a recreational recreational area for local citizens after a dump is fiill. Nowhere in Fast Facts on Landfill docs the 1WA talk about money. This reporter is sure there will be questions on how much money was spent on printing "Fast Facts on Landfill." Landfill." Or how much more money the 1WA will require by giving us the short list in August instead of June? Communications co-ordinator John Steele said, everyone who lives on or near a candidate site is afraid the dump will be located next to their homes. That means people in Markham arc afraid they will get one, as arc the people in Pickering and the folks out here. Among all of the questions, there arc now rumors that have been flying that the 1WA has run into trouble -- that they have gotten in over their heads and don't know what to do. What a frightening thought for the people who are fighting in their communities! communities! Will the decision for the preferred site lake place during a game of pin-thc-dump-on-lhe-rcgion. If the IWA is having problems selecting selecting a dump site, where does that leave communities like Ncwtonville who will lx; fighting dumps for the rest of this decade, at least? It looks like a change in government government in 1994 or 1995 could come in the middle of an environmental hear- . ing for the three dumps destined for Durham, Peel and Meiro-Toronlo/ York. So, what would happen during that election? Would residents in the preferred preferred areas be told by politicians running running for office that the dump will not be built in their neighbourhood. Would that mean more money will be spent on another search? It seems the government takes away the money needed to foster growth, only to pm it into a project that does not seem to be going any where. Another thought is: What happens if the preferred sites don't gel approval approval alter the Environment Assessment •Hearing? Will the IWA be back at square one, or will it look at the other sites that were disregarded earlier? There will continue to be a lot of questions, , However, the one that seems most iifiporlimi right now is this: Which site will the IWA select as its first choice for a Dmliam imly Limit ill operation? average of 1,150 new OHIP physician physician registrants each year. Each new doctor who opens a fce-for-servicc practise in Ontario has the potential to generate $500,000 in costs to the health care system. Approximately half of this represents fees for service, service, and the balance is due to laboratory laboratory and other charges. This means that each year more and more money is needed to pay more and more doctors, doctors, mostly concentrated in the same areas of the province, while remote regions go without adequate medical care. At the present time, Ontario has over 2,000 physicians aged over 65, billing OHIP a total in excess of $200 million in professional fees. There are about 1,100 physicians aged between between 65 and 69 billing a total of $150 million in professional fees. There arc 600 physicians aged between between 70 and 74 billing $50 million in professional fees. And there are 350 physicians 75 and over billing a total of about $25 million. Rather than blame this government government for the present problems facing r~ young new doctors, shouldn't the Medical Association themselves be developing appropriate and fair "exit policies for their older physicians. Shouldn't previous governments have warned the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, and the Canadian Canadian Medical Association years ago, that their ' physician-to- population was getting out of whack? Dentists saw this potential in their profession years ago and took the necessary steps to avert the problem, why didn't the medical profession do like wise? Believe me, we can only preserve Ontario's outstanding system of public public health if,we can control costs to keep the provision of services to patients patients efficient and affordable. Main-, taining it as a guaranteed job and guaranteed high-income program for an unlimited number of doctors is not good for patients and not good for doctors, because we will simply not be able to preserve our health care system, I get really ticked off to hear people continually blame the NDP- for the present doctors' dilemma. Next week is Environment Week. When reading that, a lot of people may well think: "So what?" Sometimes, it seems that today just about every week of the year is being dedicated to some worthy cause or special interest group. (So far as I'm aware, there has never been a Be Kind To Farmers Week, though at our farm we'd consider it a great idea). However, Environment Week has to be unique among all the others. It provides the incentive for everyone to spend a few days focusing on a matter that must be of paramount importance to each of us - the need to protect and preserve not only our local environment, environment, but also the ecology of this planet, on which we depend for our very existence. Canadians have been marking Environment Environment Week since 1971. That was about the same time most of us began recognizing there was a serious down side to many of mankind's great achievements in modernizing and civilizing civilizing the world. Progress certainly •has been marvellous for those who can afford it. But, it also became apparent there are heavy extra costs involved. Often, these advances had an enormous appetite appetite for natural resources that can't be replaced, and have caused serious damage to our surroundings. Governments Governments saw this growing public concern, concern, and it was just about 25 years ago that they began establishing special special departments and ministries with responsiblility for environmental matters". matters". Preserving and restoring the evi- ronment most effectively begins at the personal level, with the things we do ourselves, in our own households, and within the local community. From my vantage point as a Member of Parliament Parliament at Ottawa, it's evident to m^that our Durham area is at least as far advanced advanced in addressing and acting on environmental concerns as any other community in Canada. No doubt this awareness is due, at least partly, to some of the pressing issues issues Durham had had to contend with, including the overflow of household wastes from Metropolitan Toronto, and low-level radioactive waste from! the old Eldorado uranium refinery. Whatever the reasons, we're fortunate fortunate to have a number of local organizations organizations and individuals who are so • deeply involved, and who have various various special events planned for their neighbourhoods in the next few days. The more people find out about the environment and about things they can do personally to help improve it, the more likely they arc to get involved. involved. Many of those things can be done easily, such as conserving water by using low-flow showerheads and repairing repairing leaky taps, turning down thermostats, thermostats, walking instead of driving, or switching off electric lights when they're not needed. In each of those cases, there's an added bonus in savings savings on utility and fuel bills. Environment Week is valuable for directing our thoughts to the importance importance of conserving and preserving. When those thoughts arc followed by positive action, everyone benefits. It's a message we have to be concerned concerned about all year long.. Area Cubs Visit Toronto Island NO DECISION ON ANNEXATION On Friday, Chairman William William Greenwood reserved judgment at the completion of the two day Ontario Municipal Municipal Board Hearing held in the Council Chamber of Bow- manville Town Hall on the appeal of the town for permission permission to annex 155 acres of Darlington Township adjacent adjacent to Bowmanvilic.
