Bailie Chief Election Officer And the House having met. The Honourable the Lieutenant Governor, having entered the House, took his seat on the Throne. Mr. Grossman, the Government House Leader then said: "I am commanded by the Honourable the Lieutenant Governor to state that he does not see fit to declare the causes of the summoning of the present Legisla- ture of this Province until a Speaker of this House shall have been chosen accord- ing to law, but today at a subsequent hour His Honour will declare the causes o( the calling of this Legislature." His Honour was then pleased to retire. And the Clerk having called for nominations for the office of the Speaker, the Premier, Mr. Miller, addressing himself to the Clerk, proposed to the House for 6 June 4 1985 their Speaker Hugh Alden Edighoffer, Member for the Electoral District of Perth, which motion was seconded by Mr. Peterson, and it was, Resolved, That Hugh Alden Edighoffer, Esquire, do take the Chair of this House as Speaker. The Clerk having declared the Honourable Hugh Alden Edighoffer duly elec- ted, he was conducted by the Premier and Mr. Peterson to the Dais, where stand- ing on the upper step, he returned his humble acknowledgment to the House for the great honour they had been pleased to confer upon him by choosing him to be their Speaker. And thereupon he sat down in the Chair and the Mace was laid upon the Table. The House then adjourned during pleasure. The Honourable the Lieutenant Governor then entered the House and took his seat on the Throne. Mr. Speaker then addressed His Honour to the following effect: "May it please Your Honour, The Legislative Assembly has elected me as their Speaker, though I am but little able to fulful the important duties thus assigned to me. If, in the performance of those duties, I should at any time fall into error, I pray that the fault may be imputed to me and not to the Assembly whose servant I am, and who, through me, the better to enable them to discharge their duty to their Queen and Country, hereby claim all their undoubted rights and privileges, especially that they may have freedom of speech in their debates, access to your person at all seasonable times, and that their proceedings may receive from you the most favourable consideration. ,, The Government House Leader then said: "Mr. Speaker, I am commanded by the Honourable the Lieutenant Governor to declare to you that he freely confides in the duty and attachment of the Assembly to Her Majesty's person and Government, and not doubting that the proceedings will be conducted with wisdom, temperance and prudence, he grants and upon all occa- sions will recognize and allow the constitutional privileges. I am commanded also to assure you that the Assembly shall have ready access to His Honour upon all suitable occasions, and that their proceedings, as well as your words and actions, will constantly receive from him the most favourable con- 1 struction.' Elizabeth II June 4 The Honourable the Lieutenant Governor was then pleased to open the Ses- sion with the following gracious speech: MR. SPEAKER AND MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY: I am pleased to welcome you to the First Session of the Thirty-third Parlia- ment of Ontario, and especially so, to those Honourable Members who will be serving their fellow citizens in this Assembly for the first time. Before proceeding I want to express on behalf of all Honourable Members, this Assembly's sincere condolences to those families who have lost loved ones and friends in last Friday's devasting storm. In co-operation with municipalities and the Federal Government, my Government wants to assure you that a comprehensive program is being implemented to help all those who have been adversely affected, and to rebuild those industries and communities that have been so severely dam- aged. In the agenda my ministers will place before you, my Government is deter- mined to express and honour the mandate for renewal and social progress this assembly has been assigned by the people of Ontario. This is an ambitious assign- ment and that is appropriate: our economy is blessed with great potential and our citizens are industrious and have generous aspirations for themselves and for their communities. Through the co-operation and mutual respect of all Honourable Members of this Assembly, this Session can make a lasting contribution. Since Government's overriding responsibility is to help individuals achieve a better quality of life for themselves, it is not Government's role to make choices for people or try to build Ontario on its own. My Government, however, will assume its responsibilities for leadership on those concerns that require effective action in our public institutions. In this address, and in the Budget of the Treasurer on June 25th, my Govern- ment will place before you, for the people of Ontario, new initiatives and direc- tions: To strengthen the climate for private sector employment and economic growth across our province; To eliminate barriers and assist all individuals, particularly women, young people, visible minorities, native people and the disabled, who seek employ- ment and who pursue excellence; To protect our environment and enhance our diverse regional economies; To maintain and expand our investment in essential social services; To introduce and amend laws which serve our community values; and, To encourage co-operation and trust by improving the openness and ac- countability of all our public institutions. Honourable Members, in this address, my government will pursue these objectives with more than 90 initiatives ranging from new laws for your considera- tion to wide ranging measures affecting all aspects of our vibrant province. Many 8 June 4 1985 will require a significant investment of public resources and wise deliberation by this assembly. They will be responsible, as well as responsive, because they will be undertaken within a fiscal policy of rigorous spending control and steady reduction in our deficit. SECURING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY: Ten years ago, Ontario recognized the need to restrain untenable growth in the public sector in order to protect resources for economic and personal initiative. Consequently, the burden of government spending and our deficit is the lowest per capita in Canada. This has been and is essential, but it is not an end in itself. Higher employment growth must remain as the unifying objective of economic pol- icy. Our programs and our partnership with the private sector insured that Ontario led the rest of Canada in job creation. With real growth of 6 per cent in 1984, our economy created 147,000 new jobs. With the positive measures my government will propose in this address and in the budget, my government believes, with a confident private sector, where the entrepreneur knows where government is going and the stable principles it serves, Ontario can and should create 200,000 new jobs this year. There is no Reason to neglect or set aside our responsibilities in encouraging significant and more equitable employment growth. While the unemployment rate declined by more than 1 percentage point last year, it is still too high, particularly for women and young people. If we agree that we can do better this year, we must intensify our own efforts and represent vigor- ously legitimate Ontario interests regarding basic policy choices by the Govern- ment of Canada. In meeting its responsibilities, my government will work to ensure that national trade and fiscal policies intelligently and pragmatically serve the nation- wide employment goals shared in this assembly. It must be clearly understood that social programs cannot substitute for eco- nomic policies that pursue sustainable, competitive growth. Social advance without a strong economy would be a cruel illusion. Canadians see it as our duty to improve the environment for growth in the economy, not growth in our governments, and also to borrow only for capital investments necessary for our future, not for day-to-day operations. Thus, my min- isters remain determined not to take up the new growth in the economy with major tax increases. Ontario's leadership as a trading economy in sophisticated manufacturing, ser- vices and resources belies the stubborn myth of Ontario protectionism. In fact, on a per capita basis, Ontarians earn more from and depend more on exports than do the people of Japan. A million jobs in Ontario depend on trade. Nevertheless, Ontarians share the common sense view of their trading partners: Trade policy ultimately must serve the national interest, not abstract theory. Elizabeth II June 4 Our automotive industry is playing a major role in driving Ontario's employ- ment expansion. Our automotive parts investment fund, in its first year, has been energetically and responsibly employed by our private firms. The original and essential intent of placing voluntary quotas on Japanese vehicle imports was to encourage adequate investment in the Canadian automotive industry. This has not yet been effectively accomplished. While the United States Government may be satisfied with the response of Japanese firms in the United States, we have much further to go. Thus, there does not exist a parallel case in Canada for removing this critical incentive at this time. Our government will insist that the government of Canada not back off these quotas before the Japanese auto firms demonstrate sig- nificantly more willingness to invest in Canada. My Government strongly supports the priority the Government of Canada has placed on improving trade relations with the United States. However, our people know we cannot rely on the United States alone and realize that multilateral trade expansion is equally critical to our prosperity. My Goverment and this assembly are increasingly concerned about the proposition that there is now a "window of opportunity" to negotiate bilateral "free trade" with the United States. Well before we consider timing and tactics, it is Canada's obligation to research and explore publicly the fundamentals: what both sides of the negotiation would require, the problems which might ensue for working people and many of our industries, as well as the opportunities that might be made available. The Canadian national interest must be defined in public, in Canada, and not at the negotiating table. My Government will propose to the Legislature the establishment of a Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs. Consistent with our long-standing commitment to perform a constructive role in Canada, and because of the impor- tance of an informed consensus on national trade, as a first order of business, we will request that this committee address the issue, trade objectives for our economy. In addition, as suggested at a recent conference by the Ontario economic council, my government will appoint a distinguished and experienced trade advisor to assist both the legislature and the government define our strategic and negotiat- ing interests in this vital national debate. PARTNERSHIP FOR EMPLOYMENT DEVELOPMENT: Hard experience teaches that modern economies do not and will not grow nat- urally to acceptable levels of employment. Purposeful government action is required. Furthermore, it is well appreciated across our society that governments must undertake this task in partnership with ambitious individuals and enterprises. Good and sensitive government means serving, not substituting for the creative energies of the private sector. Also, there is general agreement that our efforts should be directed primarily towards progressive small and medium-sized Canadian enterprises. Not only do they generate the lion's share of new jobs, there is a social reality that should not be overlooked. We want economic growth because we want to improve the quality of life in Ontario. These enterprises are making that contribution by building self- reliance in our communities and providing the individual with a unique opportu- nity for self-expression and accomplishment. 10 June 4 1985 Consequently, along with new measures in this address to stimulate training and job creation, the budget will propose to the Legislature further employment incentives by reducing the tax burden on growing small enterprises. My govern- ment believes that the most effective way to create genuine new jobs is to allow successful small companies to put their earnings back to work. Our interest is not to stimulate the bottom line, or dividends, but to strengthen the collective well-be- ing of the firm and its employees. If industries are to secure greater resources for modernization from govern- ment, then they in turn must accept public interest in whether their employees are provided with reasonable opportunity for secure employment. Consequently, a major feature of my government's enterprise technology fund, which will be intro- duced in the budget, will be the advance requirement that firms which seek its assistance present appropriate training and retraining plans for their employees along with their proposals to upgrade technologies and equipment. Last year my government introduced a three-year, $600 million employment, experience and training commitment to enrich opportunities throughout our socie- ty, particularly for young people, women, the disadvantaged and older workers. These programs contributed directly and significantly to last year's substantially improved job creation performance. Also they made it possible for 108,000 Ontari- ans to participate in training and upgrading, so critical to their development and our collective well-being. My government is gratified by the growing number of firms and individuals making use of these programs and will carry forward its funding commitment to the Ontario skills fund and Ontario youth opportunities. These initiatives have been consolidated in the new ministry of skills development. In light of strong growth in the economy, my government has the capacity to build on the success of these programs. Since the need is great and the private sec- tor has demonstrated it will provide greater opportunities, it is our intention to include in the budget an additional $100 million employment and training supplement that will permit the new ministry of skills development to take further action in four key areas: First, a further 75,000 training and upgrading opportunities will be provided in our public institutions and in industry; Second, a further 30,000 work experience opportunities will be secured pri- marily for high school graduates; Third, co-operative education and links to the private sector will be ex- panded in our secondary schools; and Fourth, a $10 million training access fund will be set up to meet both the ur- gent need to create more extensive training programs in industry and to re- duce those practical barriers such as child care, transportation and accommo- dation costs which discourage many energetic people from improving their work skills. To assure more equitable access to training, this financial assistance will be provided according to the circumstances of the individual. This last initiative is in Elizabeth II June 4 1] addition to the 7,500 subsidized child care spaces, and other child care programs recently announced by my government. JUSTICE AND EQUALITY IN THE WORKPLACE: The people of Ontario look to us to ensure that economic benefits are shared fairly and that our laws keep up with changing realities in the workplace. My Gov- ernment will re-affirm its commitment to working people by introducing 1 1 major reforms to enhance security and justice at work. Lack of equality for women in the workplace, caused by institutional barriers or outdated attitudes, makes no sense and is not fair. My Government, in its own activities and in its relationship with the private sector, will take further action nec- essary for our economic and social advancement. Employment equity programs will be extended in our public sector to crown agencies and transfer payment recipients including hospitals, municipalities, school boards, and post secondary institutions. Employment and training services for spe- cial needs groups including women, minorities and the disabled will be consoli- dated in the new ministry of skills development. Compensation equity for women in the work-force will be pursued on several fronts. First, my government proposes to appoint a compensation equity commission representing business, labour and government to address the elimina- tion of pay inequities for women. Immediately, the commission will assist my gov- ernment to implement equal pay for work of equal value in the Ontario Public Ser- vice and in Crown Corporations and the broader public sector, commencing March 31, 1986. Also, my government will adopt a policy of contract preference for con- tractors of goods and services of over $200,000 per year who already have, or undertake to implement, an effective employment equity program for women, visi- ble minorities, native people and the disadvantaged. My Government made a historic contribution in securing the Charter of Rights for Canadians. It will act vigorously to enforce and extend accepted and concrete principles of equality across our jurisdiction. Anything less than equal pay for equal work constitutes clear discrimination and is already illegal. My Govern- ment believes that it would be premature for the state and its officials to define "value" in the workplace, particularly of small and medium-sized firms, without far more information and broader public understanding. Consequently, the com- pensation equity commission will also be asked to encourage wide public discus- sion and to advise my government on the appropriate application of the concept of equal pay for work of equal value in the private sector. Amendments will be introduced to enhance collective bargaining rights. A procedure will be proposed to enable first agreement arbitration to be requested when the normal processes of negotiation, conciliation, and mediation have failed to produce a collective agreement following the acquisition of bargaining rights. To protect unorganized workers, my government proposes to amend the Employment Standards Act to give all employees with three or more years of ser- vice the right to contest an unjust dismissal before an impartial tribunal. As is now 12 June 4 1985 the case in our public service, an amendment will be introduced to enable part- time workers to elect to receive employment benefits on a pro-rated basis. Furthermore, greater protection and participation for workers affected by sig- nificant technological change will be assured by amending the Labour Relations Act to require advance notice and consultation. To address health hazards posed by toxic substances in the workplace, "right to know" legislation will be prepared to require employers to identify toxic sub- stances in the workplace and to explain their potential hazard. My Government will continue to protect workers against dismissal for reporting occupational haz- ards in the workplace. In the second phase of its comprehensive review of the Workers' Compensa- tion Act, my government will bring forward recommendations to provide compen- sation for permanent disabilities, pensions, adjustment and reinstatement rights for injured workers. Based upon a consensus with other senior governments, a Pension Benefits Act will be introduced in this session. Reforms will include vesting of pensions, assured pension portability, minimum employer contributions, improved survivor benefits both before and after retirement, the extension of private pension cover- age to part-time workers, and the removal of sex discrimination in the calculation of pension benefits. Also, Ontario will initiate further discussions with other gover- nments and the private sector on fair and acceptable methods to ensure that retired members of pension plans receive regular inflation protection. BUILDING ON OUR HERITAGE: The diversity and abundance of our natural resources are vital to our commu- nities, our economic security and our future quality of life. The responsible man- agement of our natural environment and the development of our regions, farm- lands, forests, mines, tourist and recreation resources is a public trust for our immediate well-being and for future generations. Across these responsibilities, my government proposes over 25 initiatives for this session of the legislature. Our Province has in place the most extensive and rigorous environmental laws of all the industrial jurisdictions in North America. This has been accomplished because this assembly represents a community that cares deeply about its natural environment. To honour this obligation to our province and our children, my gov- ernment will propose to this assembly a series of initiatives that will extend Ontari- o's leadership. My Government proposes to have the draft regulations, particularly regarding certain absolute liability features, of the Part IX amendment of the Environmental Protection Act sent immediately to the Standing Committee on Resources Devel- opment with a view to proclaiming the amendment on January 1, 1986. This will ensure vigorous public protection for spills of dangerous substances and compensa- tion to those affected by those responsible. Also, to protect the public interest in the transportation of dangerous materi- als, my government will immediately proclaim amendments to the Environmental Elizabeth II June 4 13 Protection Act which will impose stricter conditions on industry to ensure the safe storage, transportation and disposal of dangerous industrial wastes. In co-ordina- tion with the Federal Government initiative, my government will proclaim the Ontario Dangerous Goods Transportation Act. To strengthen the effectiveness of Ontario environmental regulations, a new investigations and enforcement branch will be set up and maximum and minimum fines for environmental offences will be increased. Our efforts to reduce acid rain will be intensified both in co-operation with other governments and where we have direct responsibility. While we all recognize that most acidic precipitation is generated from beyond our borders and that we must be forceful with our neighbours to reduce this menace to Ontario, my govern- ment is determined to extend its leadership in addressing this problem in our own jurisdiction. My Government proposes to amend control orders to ensure that Ontario Hydro and Inco accelerate their emission reduction programs and install modern acid reduction technology. In addition, the Ministry of the Environment will introduce a lake restoration program to rehabilitate seriously acid-damaged lakes. In order to accelerate the clean-up of Ontario beaches and tributaries, the Ministry of the Environment will set up a $20 million beach protection fund. Also, a shoreline protection task force will be created. My Government will continue to impress upon appropriate American Governments their responsibilities regarding potentially unacceptable pollution levels in the Niagara River. My Government is already committed to take further action before the courts, if necessary. After completing a comprehensive review of waste management practices ini- tiated in 1982, my government has decided to establish a $100 million environmental protection fund to clean-up waste sites and provide stronger enforcement of our environmental regulations. In order to finance equitably this expensive and essential undertaking, The Ministry of Treasury and Economics is designing for introduction at the federal and provincial level a special tax on dan- gerous toxic substances. This also would help discourage needless and excessive use of these commodities. I am pleased to advise this Legislature that my government will soon formally proclaim the Niagara Escarpment Plan. This undertaking will be of immense value to the province and provides a world-wide example of co-operative and responsible management of our environmental heritage. My Government will undertake innovative forestry initiatives under our tending Ontario's forests program. This $10 million program will enhance the $150 million commitment already in place for our forest management programs. It will benefit our communities and, equally important, will generate substantial job opportunities for students and young people in areas of high unemployment. To protect the resources and environment which are necessary to the develop- ment of Ontario's tourism industry, my government will create a $10 million special resource fund to support fish re-stocking, community programs, research into improved fish and wildlife habitat and management techniques for lakes and 14 June 4 1985 forests. In addition, a new tourism development board will be established to focus more aggressively my government's assistance to our vital tourist industry. The Ministry of Tourism and Recreation will also intensify its efforts to attract tourists from Quebec and the United States which will have immediate benefits for employment growth and development, particularly in eastern Ontario. Recogniz- access to recreation facili- ing the increasing value and need for wider public public the cre- ties, our existing public investment in such facilities will be enhanced by ation of a $15 million recreational capital construction program. Lottery revenues will be used to fund this program. My Government is committed to remain an active partner in securing greater Ontario. prosperity and economic diversity for northern and eastern To that end, we propose to improve the very successful Nor-Dev Program in northern Ontario, and double its funding to $20 million. We invite the federal gov- ernment, which shares with us the responsibility for regional economic develop- ment, to cost-share this initiative as they have with previous initiatives in northern Ontario and elsewhere in Canada. In addition to the increased funding, and sub- will to include assis- ject to negotiations with Ottawa, the program be broadened service sector tance to small capital projects in the tourism industry and other industries. Many small enterprises would then be better able to expand their employment and facilities. The Government will also renew its commitment to economic development in eastern Ontario by entering negotiations with the federal government for a pro- in of gram to replace the successful EOSA program which will expire September to extend this year. Ontario proposes a $40 million, five-year, cost-shared program the many successful components of EOSA. The new program will provide assis- tance for agricultural development, small business, tourism and forestry. To enhance development in regions which are experiencing high unemploy- ment, my government will accelerate northern and rural road construction and maintenance, and will carry forward, in the budget, last year's successful community economic transformation agreement program. if eco- Improved access to venture capital in all our regions must be a priority the nomic opportunity is to be shared fairly across Ontario. In this regard, budget will increase the regional funds of the small business development corporations in northern Ontar- program and will broaden eligibility for S.B.D.C. investments io. As we have recommended, my government is pleased that the government of Canada has decided to permit R.R.S.P. and private pension funds to invest in small and medium-sized, Canadian-controlled firms. In addition to these mea- sures, our task force review of financial institutions in Ontario will be directed, on institutions can better serve a priority basis, to consider how our private lending growing enterprises in all of our regions. In order to assist our vital agriculture industries face their immediate difficul- ties and seize new opportunities, all governments have a responsibility to improve access to credit and to better stabilize farm incomes. Elizabeth II June 4 15 Assistance For its part, my government is setting up a Farm Operating Credit Program. A fund of $40 million over three years, will reduce the cost of credit and provide necessary loan guarantees. Ontario has played a vigorous role in attempt- believe ing to design a tripartite stabilization program for the red meat sector. We the federal government should also be able to contribute this year. However, my government has allocated $15 million for a bipartite program with the industry if we must proceed on our own. Furthermore, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food will carry forward with its new crop development fund to encourage our farmers to take advantage of emerging market opportunities. Building on our efforts to conserve vital agricultural lands, the soil conserva- tion and erosion program will be extended to assist municipalities in constructing and repairing agricultural outlet drains. To assist women and young people in rural areas find training and employment opportunities in their own communities, new resources will be dedicated to a rural employment assistance program. IMPROVING ESSENTIAL PUBLIC SERVICES: Our ability, along with our obligation, to set new directions and serve funda- mental community values requires steady attention to the basic essentials people pay for through modern government. In this session, my government will propose a wide-ranging and historically significant program of more than 25 reforms and initiatives in education, in health, in support for the elderly, in the protection of tenants and in building our transportation system. You will have the opportunity to advance and represent our society's commitment to fairness, compassion and excellence. My Government will introduce for debate, open public discussion and resolu- tion, legislation necessary to extend public funding for secondary Roman Catholic schools beyond grade 10. We are not proposing to create a new public institution, but to support equitably a school system which has been an integral component of public education in Ontario ever since Canada was founded. This is a major and complex undertaking. Therefore, my government is com- mitted to provide full public participation, without arbitrary time constraint, for all those who wish to express their views on this legislation. My Government remains confident that the first phase of this reform can pro- ceed this September and is gratified by the progress of the planning and implemen- tation commission. The commissioners have already forwarded to my government 30 implementation plans for Roman Catholic school boards, according to the prin- uncer- ciples outlined by premier William G. Davis on June 12th. 1984. Despite tainties which accompany any significant reform, this assembly can be assured, in legislation and in administration, that capital facilities will be responsibly man- aged; that non-Roman Catholic teachers will have fair access to employment and tenure in Roman Catholic schools; and that this extension of funding will not. in any way, be financed by undermining our commitment to public schools generally. My government guarantees that adequate funding of our excellent public school system will be maintained. With the assistance of its commission of inquiry into the financing of elementary and secondary education in Ontario, my govern- ment will take all necessary new measures to assure excellent curriculum and 16 June 4 1985 teaching in this basic system. This will not be borne by the property tax. Indeed, my government will gradually increase, through general legislative grants, the province's share of public school financing. While my government does not accept the recommendation of the bovey report regarding tuition fees, it recognizes that additional resources are required to enhance the quality and vitality of post-secondary education. Accordingly, my gov- ernment will establish a $100 million quality education fund. Working with our col- leges and universities, it will be used to stimulate research, renew capital and equipment, upgrade critical programs, and improve staff and academic develop- ment. Mon Gouvernment continue de croire qu'un accroissement et un elargisse- ment soutenus des droits linguistiques et des services en francais sont preferables a toute mesure qui ferait de TOntario une province officiellement bilingue. Au cours de cette session, nous deposerons de nouveau des amendments a la Loi sur ieducation en ce qui a trait a la gestion des ecoles de langue minoritaire. Ces amendments determineront les conditions dans lesquelles les conseils scolaires pourront compter des conseillers de langue minoritaire elus par des electeurs de langue minoritaire. Les services de sante offerts en frangais seront elargis. L'Office des Affaires Francophones fera partie integrante du Bureau du Conseil des Minis- tres. My Government continues to believe that a steady upgrading and expansion of french language rights and services is preferable to any move which would make Ontario officially bilingual. In this session, we will reintroduce amendments to the Education Act dealing with the governance of minority language schools. This will determine the conditions under which school boards can set up minority language trustees elected by the minority language voters. Health services available in the french language will be extended. The office of francophone affairs will be made an integral part of our cabinet office. This Parliament has inherited the responsibility to sustain what is widely regarded as the finest health care system in the world. It is my government's obli- gation to maintain health care quality and universality by continuing review and new initiatives. Extensive changes are called for during this session. First, as part of tax reform, to ensure more equitable health care financing, my government will freeze O.H.I. P. premiums and steadily raise premium assis- tance. My Government will progressively employ tax sources less onerous to low income families in order to finance this essential service. In order to make sure residents in northern Ontario receive equal health care benefits, my Government will provide incentives to increase specialist services in the north and will proceed with its program to subsidize significant transportation costs for those requiring hospital care. Further, air ambulance services will be extended. Our after-care program, addiction services, and public health programs will also be extended. Our assistive devices program will be expanded to help adults also enjoy better access to these supportive devices. Bearing in mind the unique and extensive health care needs of women, my Government will establish a distin- Elizabeth II June 4 17 guished advisory task force to review health care services for women in Ontario. Along with other specific initiatives, my government will provide an additional $73 million for hospital capital projects. Also, we will establish additional beds in chronic care hospitals, homes for the aged, and nursing homes in order to provide services for those requiring extended and long-term care. The growth in our aged population and their changing needs for services pres- ent new challenges for my government. We will develop a far-reaching com- munity-based care system that will expand community programs and limit the growth of unnecessary institutional services so that our senior citizens can remain in their communities, in a manner that respects their dignity and their life-long contribution to society. The development of an overall plan and a comprehensive network of com- munity and health services for elderly persons living in their homes is essential. To meet this task, a Minister for the elderly will be appointed to supervise the consoli- dation of the full range of elderly services now undertaken by my Government. Consistent with my Government's emphasis on community-based care, signifi- cant new funds will be provided for our homemakers program to increase services available at home for the elderly and disabled adults. My Government is concerned about the impact of the federal budget on the incomes of the elderly. My Government will increase its tax grant program for seniors to help compensate them for inflation-related losses in income. In addition, we will make strong recommendations urging the Government of Canada to com- pensate fully for inflation those pensioners receiving the guaranteed income sup- plement. In facing the challenges of high inflation and population growth during the last decade. Ontario earned an enviable record of both public and private sector achievement in providing fair access to rental accommodation. As Ontario keeps growing, new challenges must be addressed. My Government's commitment to rent review and adequate rental supply will be reinforced in this Session. For deliberation this month, you will be asked to consider basic reforms to the Residential Tenancies Act to reduce to 4 per cent the maximum rent increase per- mitted without review and the establishment of a workable rent registry, along with other important measures of benefit both to tenants and responsible land- lords. Because of its tremendous social importance, ongoing regulation of the rental market must remain in the public domain. Through wise and responsible consider- ation, regulations can be designed to the mutual benefit of all concerned. This is a grave responsibility for this Assembly. Along with the interests of tenants, we must be mindful of the circumstances of small landlords and the vital contribution of the private sector generally. Excessive or irresponsible regulations would drive out the private sector and, thereby, harm both tenants and taxpayers. Bearing in mind our concern for the supply of rental accommodation as well as its cost, my Government has decided that it must introduce a major new pro- gram to ameliorate, substantially, unacceptable shortages of rental accommoda- .18 June 4 1985 tion, particularly in our urban areas. Accordingly, a five-year, $400 million rental supply fund will be initiated to stimulate private, co-operative, non-profit and con- vert-to-rent projects. The popular Ontario Housing Rehabilitation Program will be re-introduced and assistance will be provided to help tenants purchase their first home. Not only will these programs create significant employment, they are essen- tial to avoid rental shortages, particularly for those with modest incomes. From both perspectives, we look to the Government of Canada to participate responsi- bly, as it has in the past. To enhance the growth and integration of this great province, my Government will be undertaking new initiatives over the next five years to improve major trans- portation systems in Ontario. Commuter rail services, using the most beneficial technology, will be put in place from Oshawa to Burlington, and after consulta- tion, ultimately to the City of Hamilton. Work will commence on extending High- way 400 north, Highway 416 from Ottawa south to Highway 401, and on the new Highway 407 north of Toronto. Recognizing the importance of public transit to the urban environment and working people of Ontario, my Government will maintain its strong support for municipal public transit improvements. RESPECTING THE INDIVIDUAL IN OUR SOCIETY: In representing what is most decent and civilized in the character of our prov- ince, this Assembly will have an opportunity in this Session to consider and amend fundamental laws regarding our respect for the individual. With the proclamation this year of the equal rights provision of the charter of rights and freedoms, an omnibus bill will be introduced shortly to bring Ontario's statutes into closer conformity with the letter and spirit of the Charter and the Ontario Human Rights Code. Just as my Government dedicated itself to help secure an entrenched Charter for all Canadians, we are equally resolved to ensure that it is applied effectively. As well, the Attorney General will introduce today, substantial amendments to the Family Law Reform Act to ensure that partners in a marriage are treated as equals in the event of divorce and that enforcement of subsequent support obliga- tions are more effective and efficient. They will provide for a new, more equitable and more certain method of dividing assets at the termination of a marriage. Also, my Government will establish a special office to ensure effective enforcement of maintenance and custody orders. My Government remains concerned that the Child And Family Services Act sensitively addresses the important subject of adoption information respecting the needs and rights of both individuals and families. Therefore, my Government has initiated a review of these provisions that affect the disclosure of adoption informa- tion. A commissioner has been appointed and recommendations should be avail- able for the consideration of this Assembly by the fall. My Government proposes to increase awards available through the criminal injuries compensation board to victims and witnesses. Also, to aid those innocent citizens drawn into the criminal justice system, victim assistance projects under the supervision of the crown attorney in every county and district in Ontario will be established. Elizabeth II June 4 19 To improve the usefulness of the small claims court, my Government proposes Ontario. to raise the jurisdiction of its cases from $1,000 to $3,000 throughout in our Bearing in mind our shared concern to reduce drinking and driving high- will be intensified in the ways, our highly successful public education programs summer months. Accompanying those initiatives recently announced by my gov- ernment, expanded public education activities will be initiated to fight the intolera- ble crime of family violence in the home. During this Session, my Government will introduce a new Loans And Trust laws and Corporations Act which will establish a more contemporary framework of It will all loan and trust cor- regulations for this growing Ontario industry. require of Ontario cor- porations to maintain the same high standards as will be required as porations generally, including tighter controls on such practices self-dealing.

For the benefits of equality to be fully realized by all our citizens. Govern- Canadians ment, recognizing the pluralist reality of our society, must help new become full members of the community. Along with equality before the law, pro- grams and institutions in Ontario should respect our diverse cultures. This year, my Government will expand our welcome house program for immigrants and broa- den multi-lingual services in our Ministries. My Government believes that the quality of our society and, indeed, its econ- arts. Conse- omy will be shaped directly by our commitment to culture and the to modernize and quently, my Government is establishing a $30 million fund extend our community and cultural facilities. In co-operation with the Government of Canada, it will also invest in our vibrant film and entertainment industry. STRENGTHENING OUR DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS: The challenge for leadership is to meet vigorously the changing needs and cir- cumstances of Ontario while maintaining the confidence and trust of the people. Better ideas will be found and partnership and co-operation will be enhanced if we further open up decision-making and public accountability. To improve our capacity to lead responsibly, my government proposes a series of reforms for consideration early in this Session. A Government order will be sub- mitted embracing most of the proposals of the Standing Committee on Procedural Affairs from the last parliament. Further, a new and expanded approach to the structure, operation and powers of committees of the legislature will be brought forward. The powers and scope of the Public Accounts Committee and the Provincial Auditor will be expanded. As well, the resources of individual members to fulfill their responsibilities will be enhanced. Also, appropriate committees of the Legis- lature will be requested to review appointments to the chairmanships of major public boards and commissions. To enhance their relevance and sensitivity, my Government will intensify its determination to assure greater representation of minority groups and women in these important public institutions. 20 June 4 1985 Legislation will be introduced shortly to enhance the rights to privacy of the individual. Better access to information about Government activities will be secured by introduction of Freedom of Information legislation, which will provide for independent review. Government must not be hardened to the diverse claims of society, but must be hard on itself in the management of public resources. My Government will pro- ceed with a series of changes to strengthen accountability and efficiency in public spending. In keeping with my Government's commitment to open government, the man- agement of our various agencies and boards will be available to appear before those committees of this Legislature which may wish to review their activities. The entire public sector must be accountable to its constituencies. My Gov- ernment publishes senior civil service salaries in the public accounts. We now pro- pose to introduce legislation requiring publication of salaries of senior staff in crown agencies, municipalities, school boards, colleges, universities, hospitals and all those agencies funded principally from taxes. Electrical generation has been an essential public utility for most of this centu- ry. My Government, therefore, proposes to the Legislature the establishment of a Select Committee on Ontario Hydro. Also, my Government will introduce Legisla- tion in this Session to empower the Ontario Energy Board to set, as well as review, electrical power rates in Ontario. My Government reasserts that our continuing ability to meet new opportuni- ties will not be borne by new taxes but primarily by careful management of our resources and significant productivity gains in our services. While the provision of essential public services by our Government does not and cannot in the future permit our public servants the right to strike, their sense of public duty and their competence has been central to Ontario's public sector productivity gains. This should be well appreciated by this Assembly. While out growing population has increased the need for our services, public sector employ- ment has steadily declined. My Government intends to make further progress. As part of our fiscal plan for the next five years, my Government is committed to achieve a 5 per cent reduction in the Civil Service by 1990. This reduction of 4,000 positions will be accomplished by normal attrition and early retirement. Fur- ther, my Government is convinced that substantial savings can be gained by trim- ming the management hierarchy of our Ministries and by ongoing program review. Honorables membres de TAssemblee legislative, je tiens a repeter que la gamme d'initiatives que mon gouvernement propose dans le present discours et qu'il entend prendre cette annee fournit a cette Assemblee Toccasion unique et la responsabilite d'accelerer le developpement de Temploi, a titre de priorite abso- lue, d'ameliorer les conditions de travail des Ontariens, de proteger Tenvironne- ment, et egalement de preserver la dignite des personnes moins favorisees, la vital- ity de nos nombreuses collectivites et la qualite de la vie democratique en Ontario. Elizabeth II June 4 2\ Honourable members, I want to reiterate that in the range of initiatives my Government proposes in this address, to act on this year, this Assembly has a unique opportunity and responsibility to expand employment growth, as our first natural priority; to improve the working conditions of our people; to protect their environment; and as well, serve the dignity of the less advantaged; the vitality of our many communities; and the calibre of democratic life in Ontario. Compassionate and lasting reform in Ontario has been won by building con- sensus and the patient consideration of diverse interests. This is particularly rele- vant now regarding the regulation of small businesses, the application of wage compensation and new environment laws. My Government believes this Assembly will best represent the people through moderate and balanced deliberation. It is my Government's expectation that the directions we will now undertake will be judged on their merits by this Assembly and in the future as worthy of the spirit of our times and the opportunity for progress inherent in this good society. May Divine Providence attend your deliberations. In our Sovereign's name, I thank you. God Bless the Queen and Canada. Prayers 4.05 O'Clock P.M. Mr. Speaker then reported.

SEVENTEENTH DAY TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1985 Prayers 2.00 O'Clock P.M. Mr. Speaker addressed the House as follows: Yesterday the Member for St. Andrew-St. Patrick asked me to rule as to whether the Premier was in breach of Standing Order 26(a) in making a statement to the media after having declined to make a statement to the House on the same subject. Standing Order 26(a) says "Statements may be made by Ministers relating to Government policy, ministry action and other similar matters of which the House should be informed." It says nothing about the Minister informing the House first and an examination of the precedents indicates that previous Speakers have ruled on several occasions that, while it is a courtesy for a Minister to inform the House before making a statement outside the House it is not a breach of privilege or the rules of the Assembly if he does not do so. I refer you especially to the last para- graph of a ruling by Mr. Speaker Turner on May 9, 1983 on page 39 of the Journals of that year: "Finally, the member for Renfrew North, joined by the member for Riverdale and the member for Essex South, claimed that it was a breach of parlia- mentary privilege for the minister to have spoken to the press about the alleged disclosure of information relating to the Budget before first making a statement to I 1 . it the House. As stated in my ruling of February , 1983,". .although is a cour- tesy to the Assembly for a Minister to release information in the Assembly before releasing it to the press or the public, it is not a breach of the privilege or rules of 50 July 9 1985 the Assembly if this does not happen." It should be noted that similar rulings have been made by other jurisdictions most notably in the House of Commons of Cana- da. On motion by Mr. Nixon, 1 Ordered, That the Standing Committee on Members Services be authorized to meet in the morning and afternoon of Wednesday, July 10, 1985.

The following Bill was introduced and read the first time: Bill 33, An Act to amend the Planning Act, 1983. Mr. Swart. On motion by Mr. Nixon, seconded by Mr. Conway, Ordered, That, due to the interruption of the consideration of Private Bill leg- islation as a result of the dissolution of the Thirty-second Parliament, an appli- cation for private legislation relating to Bill Pr47, An Act respecting the City of Etobicoke, be considered during the present Session without the payment of a fur- ther application fee, without publishing further notices of application, and without lodging further declarations proving publication.

Mr. Speaker addressed the House as follows: On Thursday last, Mr. Runciman, the Member for Leeds, raised as a point of order the suggestion that a remark made by Mr. Rae, the Leader of the New Dem- ocratic Party, had been made in respect to an interjection by the Premier and not to the Minister Responsible for Women's Issues as Hansard appeared to indicate, and questioned the accuracy of the Hansard report. The tape has been consulted and the interjectionist's notes have also been examined. While there is some difficulty following what was said in view of the noise level it appears that while the Premier did make an interjection there was no break in Mr. Rae's placing of his question which would indicate that he was responding to the Premier's interjection. As the Members are aware, interjections, being out of order, are not recorded unless they elicit a response, and it does not appear that the Premier's interjection elicit such a response. I find therefore, that the final printing of the Hansard report is accurate in accordance with our guidelines. 84 October 21 1985 On motion by Mr. Nixon, Ordered, That the Standing Committee on Resources Development be authorized to meet on Tuesday, October 22, and Wednesday, October 23, 1985, to finalize its recommendations concerning the 1984 Annual Report of the Workers' Compensation Board.

(No. 275) (Tabled December 9, 1985) FIFTY-SIXTH DAY TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1985 Prayers 2.00 O'Clock P.M. Mr. Speaker addressed the House as follows: 146 December 10 1985 Referring to the matter raised by the Member from Don Mills, I have received the report from the Hansard editor which confirms the Member's statement. He reports with regret that an error was made and the sentence referred to by the Member was inadvertently omitted in the copy transmitted to the printer. The editor has apologized for this omission and has assured that an erratum notice will appear in the next House Hansard. Mr. Speaker addressed the House as follows: With reference to the matter raised by the Member from Brantford, he rose to submit that his remarks had been misconstrued by the Minister of Health. The precedents are ample that a Member may rise to explain a material part of his speech which is misunderstood, but in such a case he may not introduce new mat- ter. I refer you to Standing Order 19 (d). But again, it does not refer to any of the recognized privileges of Parliament. Mr. Speaker addressed the House as follows: Yesterday, the Honourable Member for York South raised a matter of privi- lege with respect to comments made by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Tech- nology last Friday concerning the possible sale of the Urban Transportation Devel- opment Corporation. The Member for York South stated that the Minister had made one statement to the House during oral question period and later qualified and changed the statement outside the House in remarks made to the press. As a consequence of these statements, the Member for York South argued that he had been misinformed by the answer given by the Minister with respect to the policy of the government on the sale of the Corporation. In response the Minister acknowledged that outside the House he had stated that he should not have told the House that he could make the guarantee of no loss of jobs as he has ascertained since making his statement in the House. It may be useful to stress the very nature of parliamentary privilege. Standing Order 18 (a) defines privilege as "the rights enjoyed by the House collectively and by the Members of the House individually conferred by the Legislative Assembly Act and other Statutes, or by practice, precedent, usage and custom". Erskine May's Parliamentary Practices defines privilege as "the sum of the peculiar rights enjoyed by each House collectively as a constituent part of the High Court of Parli- ament, and by Members of each House individually, without which they could not discharge their functions, and which exceed those possessed by other bodies or individuals". The privileges of the House or of its Members include the right of free speech in Parliament, immunity from arrest, detention or molestation for civil causes during defined periods, immunity of Members from the obligation to serve on juries, the right of the House to set up its own rules, the power to expel Mem- bers, and the power to order the arrest and imprisonment of persons guilty of con- tempt or breach of privilege. Elizabeth II December 10 147 I stress the essence of the definition of privilege itself so that Honourable Members will realize that it is only in very extreme circumstances that there can come to the House a legitimate case of privilege on the basis of the real and accepted and traditional definition of parliamentary privilege. Both Beauchesne and May make it clear that the Speaker's role is to decide whether or not the Member has an arguable point on which a motion may be based. Until he has decided this point no motion is in order. Further, Beauchesne's fifth edition states that "statements made outside the House by a Member may not be used as the base for a question of privilege". In the present case, there is no breach of privilege of any recognized privileges of Parliament which as illustrated by the foregoing examples are those privileges that Members have that persons or bodies do not, so that no motion is in order in this instance. Disorder having arisen in the Galleries Mr. Speaker suspended the sitting for five minutes. Mr. Andrewes from the Select Committee on Energy presented the Commit- tee's Report on Darlington Nuclear Generating Station and moved the adoption of its recommendations. (Sessional Paper No. 279) (Tabled December 10, 1985) On motion by Mr. Andrewes, Ordered, That the debate be adjourned.

The Honourable the Lieutenant Governor was then pleased to deliver the following gracious speech: Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly: I am pleased to address you for the first time and take this opportunity to look back on some of the work completed during the First Session of the Thirty-third Parliament of Ontario. My Government has given priority to the objective of setting this Province on a course aimed at achieving the aspirations of its people the goals of a strength- ened economy, open Government, clean environment, and creation of opportuni- ties for all. The co-operation and participation of all Members have contributed to the effort to achieve these objectives. For that dedication to duty, you are to be com- mended. The Treasurer's 1985 budget dealt with the need to encourage increased economic activity and improve services essential to the health and well-being of the people of Ontario, in a framework of fiscal responsibility. Elizabeth II February 12 235 The financial statement brought greater clarity to the Province's accounting and budgeting procedures, and eliminated some outstanding financial obligations, including the note on the Province's interest in Suncor Oil. Ontario's 8 per cent unemployment rate in 1985 was the lowest in four years, and the 7.3 per cent adjusted rate last month was the lowest in 50 months. The Government has set the stage for long-term development through the budget and other measures, including: the futures program, to provide meaningful jobs and training oppor- tunities for hard-to-employ young people; the establishment of funds totalling $80-million to promote excellence in colleges and universities; a $50-million program to help farmers cope with high interest rates; a $20-million allocation for Ontario red-meat producers through the tripartite stabilization plan; a $6-million transition fund for Tobacco growers and other farmers leaving agriculture; and a policy to pre- serve needed farmland; the creation of a $100-million Northern Development Fund; and expansion of the roles of the Small Business Development Corpora- tions in the north and the east. During this session, a concerted drive was launched to improve Government efforts to meet the basic needs of the people of this Province, including: introduction of the comprehensive "Assured Housing for Ontario Program"; expansion of rent review; and funding to aid the construc- tion of at least 10,000 additional non-profit housing units; the initiation of a process to create 10,000 additional spaces in child- care facilities over three years, and preparations to open a daycare center at Queen's park; introduction of legislation to eliminate extra-billing by doctors; allo- cation of an 8.3 per cent increase in Provincial funding for Ontario hospitals; subsidies to northern residents who have to travel more than 300 kilometres to receive necessary medical care; and introduc- tion of legislation to ensure realistic drug prices, protect consumers and bring sound management to the Government's Drug Benefit Plan: initiation of studies to improve our ability to provide services to senior citizens in their homes; and allocation of an additional SI 1 mil- lion for services to senior citizens; introduction of legislation to tie workers' compensation benefits to inflation; 236 February 12 1986 increased family benefits, and additional assistance to provide winter clothing for children; and introduction of legislation to provide for arbitration of first- contract disputes. This session also saw determined efforts to protect and preserve our environ- ment and natural resources, including: proclamation of an amendment to the Environmental Protection Act to ensure that those responsible for chemical spills are also respon- sible for cleaning them up; a new program "'Countdown Acid Rain" requiring Ontario's four major producers of sulphur dioxide to sharply reduce emissions; release of an independent audit of the Province's forests and their management; an agreement with the state of Michigan to help combat trans-bound- ary air pollution, and prevent chemical spills in boundary waters; and a policy to regulate the production of soft drink containers to stimulate a province-wide recycling program while protecting the interests of the steel industry and its workers. During this session, considerable activity was devoted to achieving equal rights for all, including; a $l-million grant to the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund, to support cases brought by Ontario women based on women's rights guarantees in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; tabling of a Green Paper on Pay Equity, and introduction of legisla- tion to provide for that principle in the public sector; and proclamation of a Family Law Reform Act, bringing our statutes into line with principles of fairness and equity. We have also seen considerable progress in opening the process of Govern- ment to the people it serves, including: introduction of Freedom of Information and Privacy Legislation; the release of 30 public opinion surveys conducted over the past three years and paid for by public funds; and introduction of television in the legislature for a trial period to set the basis for full-time broadcast. At the same time, the goal of encouraging and promoting the province's cul- tural development has been furthered, through such measures as: Elizabeth II February 12 237 the creation of the Ontario Film Development Corporation; allocation of an additional $2 million to the Ontario Arts Council to fund small and middle-sized arts agencies and organizations; and initiation of a "Dialogue on Multiculturalis!!)" with representa- tives of 21 communities across the province. Honourable Members, your efforts to improve the quality of life in this Prov- ince have been admirable, and your achievements have been considerable. Au nom de notre Souveraine, Je vous Remercie. In our Sovereign's name, I thank you. Je declare cette session prorogee. I now declare this session prorogued. The Government House Leader then said: Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly: It is the will and pleasure of the Honourable the Lieutenant Governor that this Legislative Assembly be prorogued and this Legislative Assembly is accord- ingly prorogued. 6.00 p.m. The following documents having been deposited with the Clerk of the House were laid upon the Table pursuant to Standing Order 33 (d): Sessional Papers: Ministry of Correctional Services Annual Report 1984/85.
