SAMATOUEEN'S PARK from Queen's Park Sam Cureatz, M.P.P., Durham East What to watch for in THE LEGISLATURE THIS FALL Several bills are coming up in the' fall sitting of the Ontario Legislature which will be of interest to residents of Durham East. Many of you will recall that in the spring, the Ministry of Housing released a White Paper containing several proposed proposed reforms to the Planning Act, What these proposed changes intend to do is to hopefully streamline the planning planning process as well as cut much of the needless red tape to which, I confess, my own government has contributed. A Bill encompassing the White Paper's suggestions, and public reaction to them, should be introduced some time in the fall or be ready for the new Session in January . " Farmers will be interested in the new quotas on dairy products that are currently being worked out by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Agriculture and Food. These new quotas will help protect our local producers from the recent dumping of milk products on the Ontario market.
