The debate is in second reading and will eventually go around the province for public input. The right to strike is not being eliminated. Furthermore, healthcare workers, police and fire fighters fighters presently do not have the right to strike. I am sure there will be valid amendments recommended and I am confident confident the government will listen listen and amend the legislation to reflect the fairness that is required to have harmony as municipalities and hospitals restructure.

The main topic is going to be the disentanglement, disentanglement, or "Who Does What" exercise. Who pays for the service we receive. This debate has been going on for several years. Briefly, (lie province is going to fund most of education and exchange a range of services to the municipalities. Tax Bill On average, 60% of your municipal tax bill goes toward education. The province is going to remove 50% of this education levy from your lax bill in exchange for other services now paid for by the province. Provincially, this amounts to some $2.5 billion dollars. The province is moving to municipalities the cost of ambulance service, public health, social housing, some of the cost of child care and GO-Transit. We have a promise from the Premier that this exchange will be revenue neutral. A permanent transition transition fund of some $550 million million is available to assist municipalities with low assessment in this transition. Over the next few weeks, there will be plenty of negative negative news on this issue and I will attempt to put forward the numbers. I must admit that some of the confusion results from the elimination of the MAP or municipal assistance grants which was announced in our first year and phased in over three years. To complicate matters, the province is in the midst of attempting to pool some of the social assistance and social housing across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). This amounts to some $270 million dollars for four Regions including Durham as well as Metro Toronto. There is a faint argument for this, but I am not convinced that Durham is in favour of litis option. I recommend that you read the article by Joan Skelton, President of the Durham Children's Aid Society, in the Toronto Star August 21, 1997. We do not now enjoy the same level of funding and service as other parts of the GTA. How is pooling going to help? Mandatory vehicle emissions emissions testing was announced last week. For Durham residents, residents, this means that in 1998, all vehicles between four years and nineteen years old will have to be tested every second year at the time of your vehicle licence renewal. The cost will be $30.00. The province will contract private sector service locations locations who will buy the equipment equipment and do the checks. The province will not fund this and will receive only sufficient sufficient revenue to pay for their cost of compliance personnel: I think this is good news for everyone's health, especially especially children and elderly people with breathing problems. problems. Other provinces have this testing and the results of a 30%+ reduction in pollution have proven that vehicle emission can be controlled. The Blackstock Fair held this past weekend was busy, despite the odd rain shower. This coming Labour Day weekend is the Port Perry Fair. In a couple of weeks, the Durham Central Fair in Orono and the Plowing Match in Simcoe will signal the end of summer. When the children and teachers return to school next Tuesday, this is just one more sign that the summer holiday is over and fall is on the way. "If you worry, will it change the future?"
