George Ashe, MPP (PC - Durham West) Ontario Minister of Revenue Defending the budget, On Thursday, May 13, 1982, Ontarlo'Treasurer Frank Miller brought down the provincial budget. I believe this document provides a responsible and yet compassionate response to the economic r ealities w e face as a province today. An important priority is job creation, and this budget will create about 31,000 new jobs. A total of $171 million bas been allocated to job-creation pro-, grams, including capital funding for approximately 14,500 jobs in road work and water and sewage projects. Forest, fisheries and land management projects will create an additional 6,000 jobs. ' One of the capital projeets accelerated under this program is the long-awaited construction of the* White's Road interchange in Pickering. I arn pleased to announce that tenders for this construc- tion project wil be cailed on May 26 and will close on June 23, 1982. Construction is expected to com- mence on the White's Road interchange shortly, thereafter. Another accelerated project is the improvement of the Thickson Road interchange witb tenders being called on July 14, 1982 (eight montbs earlier than originally anticipated), closing in August and construction commencing in the* late summer of 1982. Another consideration in the preparation of this budget was the small business community. In recent years, small businesses have accounted for. approximately fifty per cent of ail the new jobs created in this province. To renew the confidence a nd vigour of the smail business community, the. Provincial corporate income tax on small businesses will beeliminated for a two-year period. Qualified companies which have already paid. tax' this ,business year will have their money refunded, with more than $250 million going to approximately 60,000 small businesses this fiscal year alone. The treasurer also unveiled a $75 million Ontario Rent-Buy Program to assist first-timne homeowners with the purchase of a new home. This program will- stimulate the construction industry and ease pressure on the rental accommodation market across Ontario. The impact of inflation and federal cutbacks of almost $300 million this year to our province was also addressed in the provincial budget. The treasurer decided to increase revenues rather than cut back important programa, sulch as health or education. Among the budget's money-raising provisions are: increased taxes on cigarettes, cut tobacco, beer, and imported' and domestlc spirits. OHIP premlums wil increase moderately, and the retail sales tax base bas been broadened. to include such items as restaurant meals under;'$6, household cleaning products, and plants. Exemptions on food, children's clothlng, ,fuel for heatlng an 'd lghtlng,' and-preripti 'on drugàs'wil stii apply. To provide effective 'leadershipi the area o 'f government restraint, the budget Includes a~ measure to limit 1982 salary increases for senior civil servants to, six per cent.. In addition,- the treasurer bas urged MUPP's to- accept salary in- creases of six per cent lnstead of the nine per cent recommended by the Legislaturels Election Ex- penses Commission. Overail, then, without raisingý personal income tax levels or increasing the retail sales tax, the tre 'asurer presented a budget which wiIl create jobs, assist homeowners, encourage smail business and farming communities, and provide the kind of economic leadership that is so, badly needed today.
