Report from Queen 's Park By THE HON. GEORGE ASilE, MPP <PC - Durham West) Minister of Government Services F >MMOntario The Spring Session of the Ontario Legislature is now over, and I would like to take this opportuniity to discuss some of the initiatives that were taken by the Goverrnment over the past few months. One of the highlights of the Spring Session was the treasurer's budget, presented on May 15. The On- tario Budget was an innovative and positive document, offering something for all Ontarians. The budget's emphasis was on training and job ex- perience for the youth, and on the creation of new job opportunities for older workers and women. In addition, the budget cont.ained the "good news" that there would be no tax increases this year. Another important announcement in the Spring Session was the extension of funding for the Roman Catholie school system throughout the province. Our government took a careful look at the issue of public support for the Roman Catholic school system, and then on June 12, Premier Davis an- nounced that full funding would be extended to Catholic elementary and secondary schools. This system will be introduced gradually, at the rate of one year of secondary education for each sehool year, beginning in September of 1985. The session 'also generated a great deal of discussion and action affecting the justice field. The new Young Offenders Act was passed, to deal with offences committed by young people between the ages of 12 and 17. Federal law formerly dealt with these young people, but now Federal legislation deals only with young offenders who break Federal laws. The new Ontario law follows the same general guidelines which are applied to those 16 years of age and older, with special provisions to recognize the age of young offenders. The Courts of Justice Act, will assist in the streamlining the rules governing courts in Ontario, as well as making the courts more efficient. Ontario workers will also be assisted by legisiation introduced by the Ministry of Labor, which increases Workers' Compensation benefits by five per cent for pensioners, surviving spouses and dependents. These are only some of the initiatives taken during the previous session of the Legislature rein- forcing the Ontario Government's commitment to providing "the good life", right here in Ontario.
