DURHAM On March 11, 1975, the Honourable Pauline Mc- Gibbon, Ontario's Lieutenant Governor, opened the fifth and possibly the last session of the 29th Parliament of Ontario, by reading the Throne Throne Speech outlining future government policy. While few details outside of farm assistance and the appointment of an Ombudsman Ombudsman were mentioned in the speech, the present session will see a number of important important measures,, designed to combat inflation and maintain maintain Ontario's role in Confederation. Confederation. Over the past years, Ontario has enjoyed a strong and consistent economic growth and against this background the people of the province can look forward to the futur-e with confidence. In simple terms, that background can be summed up as follows : 1. A provincial economic growth rate of 3.5 percent compared with 1 percent for Germany, 2.2 percent for the U.S.A. and 3.3 percent for Japan. 2. The provincial debt has been reduced. 3. The province has attained a Triple A credit rating enabL ing it to borrow at preferred rates. A dramatic change in the economic scene has occurred, however, in recent months due in large part to the ravages of inflation which affected the pocket books of our citizens. To offset what appears to be a campaign of doom and gloom, two important factors are required. a! A well informed and decisive government leadership leadership at all levels to meet the twin challenges of inflation and recession. b) Moderation and restraint on the part of all citizens in the pricing of goods and services. The budget to be brought down on April 7th, will give a much clearer picture of provincial economic policy • but it must and will ensure protection for those whose "social benefits are most severely affected by inflation. Great care must be taken in examining the costs of all activities and programmes to get the maximum value out of each public dollar. Among the priorities for prime consideration will be the important role of agriculture agriculture in the provincial economy. As outlined in the Speech from the Throne, and in response to facts presented by the Federation ol Agriculture Agriculture and other groups, the province will introduce measures measures at this session to provide farmers with reasonable reasonable assurance of profitability in their enterprises. While the budget will indicate the details of this and other measures, the tone of the Speech appeared to be one of law and order and stability in provincial affairs Confident leadership and effective public public support are key ingredients ingredients in reversing the present disturbing social trends.
