Doug Moffatt, MPP for Durham East riding told an audience of some twenty-four at Durham College on Tuesday Tuesday of last week that the Region of Durham is too large and now inwieldy with no relationship between the far northern areas with that of Oshawa and Bowmanville. Mr. Moffatt pointed out that he along with Mike Breaugh and Dr. Charles Godfrey, ' representing Oshawa and Durham West respectively will table a private member's bill in the legislature in the near future. The three members conducted conducted their own enquiry into regional government, recently, recently, and found "a common concern"' among Durham residents for "expensive duplications" duplications" in services, among other things, he said. According to Mr. Moffatt, many of the problems facing regional government today have been caused by the method the province originally originally chose to introduce the concept. "The government walked right in and said, 'Here it is. Take it,' " he explained. "As a result, people have a mental block and no real commitment commitment to make it work." JUST AS HAPPY Some of the arëas chosen to make up Durham would be "just as happy not be a part at all," he added. Mr, Moffatt noted plans by two mayors in the region, Jim Potticary of Oshawa and Clark Mason of Ajax, to recommend regional council ask the province for changes in Bill 162. Hp said he suspects many of the changes they're seeking are similar to those contained in the amendment legislation being prepared by the three MPPs. , According to Mr. Moffatt, a rough draft of the bill was completed and taken to the Queen's Park legislation drafting drafting department March 25. He said the formal paper should be returned some time this week, when it will be placed on the legislature's .agenda.

Citing a recent questionnaire questionnaire sent out to his riding, Mr. Moffatt said a surprising 95 per cent of the 700 replies he has received-favor legislation legislation to preserve prime agricultural agricultural land. Mr. Moffatt explained his role in the legislature as the NDPs critic for the ministry of consumer and commercial relations. . He said the ministry has grown in. 10 - years from "nothing to a dumping ground for all sorts of legislation." According to Mr. Moffatt, the ministry "includes so many things that it; can't do any of them well". "It doesn't have the staff commitment to do what it's set up to do," he explained. "Peoplé are going crazy trying to enforce all. the rules". RENT CONTROL / The ministry oversees such diverse areas as car insurance, insurance, rent control, land registration, registration, business practices and consumer warranties. Ontario Hydro and its* development of nuclear gen 1 era ting stations also drew a blast from Mr. Moffatt, He said Hydro has gone so far in debt that it is causing problem's for the province's borrowing on the American money market. • Nuclear stations are being built, he said, to feed the "North American .power gri- d", so Americans can buy cheap, clean energy, while Ontario pays the environmental environmental costs and takes the risks. : "What happens when solar energy development allows the U.S. to become self-sufficient," self-sufficient," he asked. "Then, we'll be over supplied and have to give our hydro away." , Mr. Moffatt says he thinks Hydro's dedication to nuclear power will result in the Darlington station eventually being built, but the provincial corporation "needs a management management 'clean-up and complete complete investigation.
