Wednesday, March 11, 1987 To skip for Heart and Stroke Foundation Atlantic salmon may return to Lake Ontario Atlantic Salmon may some day return to Lake Ontario which in 1865 was a dream of Samuel Wilmot of Newcastle Village who at that time established a fish hatchery to augment the depleting Atlantic Salmon. Wilmot never won his battle battle and Atlantic Salmon disap- Deared from the Lake and the Wilmot. But plans today have the Ministry, of Natural Resources planning to , hatch fry from 85,000 Atlantic Salmon eggs in 1987 and releasing the fry into one of the streams flowing flowing .into Lake Ontario as yearlings. The Credit, Ganaraska, Wilmot and Shelter Valley creeks are being considered as possible release areas. The Credit however is_stated to have an advantage that the yearlings yearlings could be released above a dam where they would service for a year o,r two before making their way to Lake Ontario. It appears the population Rainbow Rainbow trout has exploded over the past five years and with other plants ■ in the lake of Pacific salmon, coho and chinook salmon some concern is now being expressed as to food supply in the lake for the great numbers of fish.

From Queen's Park by Sain Legislature Leaves Many Issues Unresolved The 33rd Parliament of Ontario has completed its second session with many promises unfulfilled. Ninety-three government bills were introduced by the Liberals and 73 passed during the session. But only 15 received royal assent and are now law. Despite the cooperation' cooperation' of both Progressive Conservatives Conservatives and New Democrats, the Liberals were unable to meet their own legislative agenda. For most people the procedural difficulties of a government are of little concern. What is of concern is what the government is actually doing doing to improve their lives. * One of the 15 new laws passed by the Legislature is Bill 51, . I lie Residential Rent Regulation Act. This Bill .ties rent increases to building operating costs and inflation. inflation. Under a complex formula,'annual formula,'annual rent increases are expected to average 5.2Vo this year. while I am pleased with many provisions of the bill, such as the elimination of key money and the creation of a rent registry that lets new tenants know their rent has not been inflated by their landlords, I am concerned that the bill does not address the problems of affordability affordability and supply of rental units., Since assuming government the Liberals have increased Provincial revenues by $4 billion, mainly through increased taxes. But this increase increase has not been reflected in Provincial Provincial support for importapt social institutions such as health and' education. Commitments to our farmers, the elderly, the disabled and the taxpayers taxpayers of this province have been forgotten by the Liberals' despite real needs that exist. I would like to see a lot more done for the farmers of this province. province. Ontario's current agricultural programs were designed designed by the former administration with the conditions of the early 1980's in mind. We have been pressing the government to update these programs programs and deal with, the mounting crisis caused by over-production and off-shore subsidies. The Treasurer's budget had promised promised Him the province's agricultural spending would double Cureatz during the fiscal year, but in fact the increase given to farmers was smaller than was budgeted back in 1984. The Progressive Conservatives have been leading the attack against the Liberal Government's failure to pass on millions of dollars in Federal money to the disabled in Ontario. The Liberal Government is depriving thousands of disabled pensioners of an additional $140.(X) a month increase in their benefits. The Liberals appear to be trying to wash their hands of responsibility for the disabled rather than keeping Ontario's progafhs in step with those provided by the Federal Government. While the Government has built up a $1 billion dollar windfall over the last year, the people of Ontario are still paying record high taxes. We are challenging the Liberal Government to cut the personal income income tax rate by 10%, along with a reduction of the Provincial sales tax to 6% from 7%. Reducing the personal income tax rate and lowering provincial sales tax would put $1:5 billion back into the hands of the taxpayers. Within two years of these steps being implemented, over and above the current growth projections; our gross provincial product would increase increase by a further $1.3 billion; unemployment cut by an additional half a percent; 5,000 more new housing starts would be generated; about 23,000 new cars would-be built and the average workers would have an extra $500 left in his pocket. While the Legislature recesses until until April 28, there is still a lot of committee work being dime. At the same time, the Government is preparing a throne speech that will be read when the House returns. We can also expect a budget from the Treasurer in mid-May. The office of the Registrar General is to be moved to Thunder Bay within the next two to three years. A walk-in office will be retained retained at Queen's Park and computer computer connections will be con- . sidered in key cities.

Delay opening Tritium refinery at Darlington Test runs of a trucking system for heavy water containing tritium through Durham Region have been postponed, Ontario Hydro spokesmen say.

According to reports the tritium removal plant at Darlington completion completion has been delayed and its operation will not start up until late summer or in the fall.
