, 'ftff; ; I fi ! 6 : , 8^-Ofono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 30th, 1976 Queen's Park Report DOUG MOFFATT, I want this week to deal with - surroundings. MPP, DURHAM EAST. From where does your milk really come? In a number of things,' none of which would make a full ■ column. With your indulgence I'll try to make.it interesting. First, the Provincial New Democratic Party held its convention in Kingston lqst weekend. I was honoured by being asked to be one of the chairman of the convention; I have a good deal more sympathy now with the Speaker Speaker of the House! Seriously, keeping order and making procedural decisions in front of 1200 delegates is an onerous task, but I enjoyed the challenge. The convention was one which dealt, almost exclusively with policy resolutions.- resolutions.- Areas covered included: included: nuclear energy , préserva- " tion of farmland, farm income insurance, assistance to smalt business and many others. In my party these policy resolutions resolutions guide the Caucus in general terms on legislative matters. Turning to other events, you have probably seen that the public health nurses of the province are on strike. There is a difference of about $4,000 between the top salaries of registered nurses in hospitals and in public health units. We feel that nurses whose role is crucial in preventive medicine medicine must not suffer financially. financially. On many occasions, by home visits to provide treat- -ment, public health ' nurses prevent patients from having to be hospitalised and help to keep patients close to those they love in their own terms of health planning, the NDP feels that emphasis must be on community clinics, with treatment close to home whereever possible, saving the most specialized facilities for those who truly need them, for the sake of justice in a financial sense for the nurses, and for the sake of the future of. health care in Ontario, we totally support the striking public health nurses. Then, look at the celebrated near confrontation on the farm income stabilization bill. As predicted, the Liberal Members voted against this bill, joining with us to have it defeated. The following day, June 17, the government introduced a Confidence Motion Motion to, as Mr! Welch put it, "allow all parties in the Hoùse to pronounce themselves clearly on whether or not the government should be allowed allowed to continue." In the minority government situation a great deal of constructive emotional effort has gone into reducing the potential for crisis and creating creating an atmosphere of co-operation co-operation between the parties. Despite this goodwill, however, however, broader considerations cannot be abandoned. The Confidence Motion provided us all with an opportunity for re-evaluation. The liberals felt able to suport the government. government. Our Caucus could not do so. We have been and remain bitterly opposed to the ceilings on local government spending. Also, we really do regard the preservation of ORONO NURSERY SCHOOL Register Now . for September 1976 WE OFFER A HALF-DAY ENRICHMENT PROGRAM FOR 3 - 5 YEAR OLD CHILDREN Qualifiecl Staff - Licensed Premises For Information call - 987-5402 A.M. 987-4012 P.M.
