I hope that what I'm
about to tell you, you are
not hearing for the first
time or you could be in
serious trouble. Yes it's
true; it is exam week at
Pickering High School. Ex-
aminations started Jan. 22
and riot until Jan. 26. But
don't come to school for the
29, 30 and 31 becatse those
are credit completion days,
or should I say, a meat
period after those ex-
bausting exams,

will be going on sale in the
cafeteria corridor as well
as rugby sweaters for the
rugby team trip to

The senior drama

week and the actors receiv-

mail came from Lincoln

performed some children's
stories such as "Ibe little
Turnip', 'Pigs' and 'Tbe
Paper Bag Princess' for
them. The narrator was
Kerry Ann Grant and a
favourite of the audience
was Stephen Burke. I give
it a two thumbs up.

Site
An Open How for an in-

sion will take place on
Thurs. Jan. 25th from 4:30
to 9:30 p. in. at the Kahn
Auction Barn on Brock Rd.,
Pickering, three miles
north of Hwy. 401, to
discuss the Region of
Durham's contingency
landfill site.
There will be displays on
waste reduction and
recycling initiatives, on
site assessment procedures
and an opportunity to talk
to the technical con-
sultants.
Durham's contingency
landfill site is part of the
Greater Toronto Area's
GTA) proposal to develop
a long-term waste manage-
ment system as early as
1992 but no later than 1996.
The GTA is comprised of
the five regional
Feel, Yot'k�Dxrfiamand

Together, the regional
municipalities are looking
at ways of diverting from
landfill and incineration
25% of solid waste by 1992
and 50% by the year 2000
through reduction, reuse
and recycling.
In the event that the new
long-term waste manage-
ment system IS not ready
by 1992, the GTA has pro-
posed a contingency plan
that will identify landfill
sites for short-term use bet-
ween 1992 and the start-up
of the new system.
Durham has nominated
what is known as the
Durham Contingency
Landfill Site to be owned

Let's Demonstrate!
by Bob Watson
There seems to be no listening at Ottawa to the massive
voice of Canadians who are against the proposed GST
(Goods and Services Tax). It will be the most inefficient
collection of taxes in our history, especially when each little
newspaper, squirt of electricity or purchase of a postage
stamp will require mobs of paper work by small business -
and thousands more civil servants at the Ottawa end!
Perhaps the arrogant, deaf politicians at Ottawa might
listen if 10.000 cars full of people invaded the capital city
and plugged up the streets around the Parliament Buildings
so the non -listening politicians could get the message about
the GST.
We need demonstrations apparently - and if the
Hungarians can do it why can't we? Lets demonstrate - and
let's get rid of the Mulroney government!
Male Preserves Crumble
by Tom Mitchell
And what do you want to be when you grow up, little girl?
When that question was asked 25 years ago. most of the
replies probably would have been encompassed by the
following: housewife, nurse, teacher, sales clerk or
secretary or other office worker. Ask the same question to-
day and the responses could include lawyer or lumberjack.
doctor or detective. physicist or pilot. And probably
housewife and mother, along with the career.
More than half of Canadian women 15 years and over are
in the labour force. As they have expanded their participa-
tion in the work force. women have also been breaking
down the barriers that starautded the traditionally "male..
occupations.
A special Statistics Canada study looked at "professional
occupations" requiring a bachelor degree or above, con-
sidered
oo-sidered as well paid and with a high level of social status -
and the changes in mak-female employment in than.
Maks dominated overwhelmingly (899 male to 11%
female) in 34 of the 46 specific occupations in 1971 at the
start of the study period. By 1981, the proportion of females
m the 34 categories had grown to almost 19% and it was 23%
by 1986.
Some specific examples: lawyers, from about 5% female
in 1971 to 22% by 1986: physicians. from less than 11% m
1971 to more than 2196 in 1986: pharmacists. from 25% in
1971 to just over 50% in 1986.
The study gave a strong ux ication that the old barriers
have been knocked down for good. Women in the 15-24 age
grog, who could act as trailbianers for today's youngsters,
led the assault on the "male" occupations. They accounted
for a full 60% of the increase in female representation in the
34 male -dominated professions from 1971 to 1961.
The professions studied are demanding, requiring
achievement of certain education levels, a strong commit-
ment to the work force and a work environment that draws
heavily am the energy and time of those who choose them.
For women with a life career path that may include mar-
riage and childbearing. these burdens are multiplied.
Among worsen over 25 in husband -wife families and in
the male -dominated professions, just over 40% had no
children at home in 1981. This compared to only 31% of
similar women in the non-professional work force. A full
22% of females 45 and over in the male -dominated profes-
sions had never married. This compared to Im than 8% of
never -married females of similar age in nor -professional
occupations. And all married females in the male -
dominated professions tended to have a higher age at first
marriage than worsen oultside these occupations.
While the trend in the studied professions was clearly
toward more equal male-female representation. one factor
continued to show a major difference. Males in these pro-
fessions "consistently made more than females in the same
occupational group and the same age range." the study
reported. The average annual income for females in these
professions was just over 70% of the average for males in
the same category in both 1961 and 1996.
But there was some evidence that this, too, was changing.
By 1981, women in the 25 to 34 age bracket, which would
include those who had recently moved into the male -
dominated fields and whose salaries would set standards
for the years to follow, earned 77% of the income of males in
the same occupation. And by 1985, they had bumped this
average up to 81%.

in northern Manitoba I north of Riding Mountain National
Park) and east -central Saskatchewan ( including Yorkton ),
both at 23.3% of the area population
The Calgary economic region had the highest proportion
of husband -wife families where both were in the labour
force (more than 0%) . The lowest proportion (40%, was in
the Saguenay -lac St. Jean area of central Quebec.
The highest average household income ($42,884) was in
the Toronto area ( including the regional mu nicipahties of
Durham, York, Toronto. Peel and Halton). The Calgary
region was second ($40,588). Regions with the lowest
average household incomes were on each side of the
Manitoba -Saskatchewan border, the Manitoba area cen-
tred at Dauphin ($71.4441 and the Saskatchewan area cen-
tred on Yorkton ( $24.507 ) .
Only in 15 of the 71 economic areas did household incomes
exceed the national average of $34.315.
Canada's disabled population has many special needs

Mike the knife
By Terry O'Shaughnessy
The federal government's
proposed Goods and Services
Tax—recently slashed to 7 per
cent by federal Finance
:Minister Michael Wilson—will
certainly provide different
headaches for different people.
From a small business
point -of -view, the pain -keel
reaches migraine proportions
at the prospect of a federal tax
plan which will force them to
shoulder much higher admin-
istration costs simply in order
to cope with the many com-
pleyities of the GST.
In 1989, the Canadian
Federation of Independent
Business conducted a survey
of 3,725 of its retail members
on provincial sales tax col-
lection. And the results.
compiled in a study entitled
"Retail Saks Tax Compliance
Costs in Canada", provide
further insight as to how
the GST will worsen an al-
ready serious tax collection
burden.
The study found, for ex-
ample, that "in most small
or young firms the owner of
the business is responsible
for the retail sales tax work
and does it either manually
or with a cash register" as op-
posed to larger firms which
can justify the use of sophis-
ticated computerized cash reg-
ister systems. CFIB concludes,
therefore, that the GST hit of
Jan. 1, 1991 (the proposed date
of implementation) will be
much harder once again on
smaller firms than on larger
companies.
The survey results also
showed that while sales tax
colkction is one of a number
of routine administrative tasks
for larger retailers, it is an
enormous headache for
smaller firms.
The study says that
–proportionally, smaller firms
shoulder higher costs for
remitting provincial retail sales
tax than larger firkins" and
points out that the cost of col-
lecting one dollar of retail sales
tax is 10 cents for these firms
as compared to just less than
one cent for a larger firm usirhg
a computerized system.
According to CFIB Presi-
dent John Bulloch, the com-
plex compliance issue is
paramount to the small retail-
ing community.
"The federal government
has taken the original 9 per
cent proposed GST rate and
repackaged the tax down to 7
per cent," Bulloch says, "but
this change does not solve the
enormous complexity that will
hit all small mailers.
"There are still nine differ-
ent provincial sales tax systems
in addition to the federal sales
tar system. There is simply no
way that the government can,
under the GST, simplify the
collection of these different
taues. The government must
find a way of unifying the fed-
eral and provincial sales tax
systems to make it more
workable".
Otherwise, Bulloch adds, it
is small business and con-
sumers who will suffer.

Owario Governmew Fstablisbes Priority Framework to
Rdwm Healtt, care system
Health Minister Elinor Caplan recently outlined a four -
point priority framework upon which decisions on hospital
capital planning will be based. It is a thoughtful and far-
. course of action shaped by our changing society
and the chane ing concepts of health and health care.
Supporting the framework is a new approach to hospital
planning which includes the participation of district health
councils, hospitals and other health care providers
throughout Ontario in a planning partnership -
"Hospitals remain an essential part of our health care
system, but the way in which we look at capital projects has
changed," said Mrs. Caplan. "When my ministry now con-
siders any hospital planning, we also took at the hospitals'
role within the full range of health services provided in a
community. "
Responding to a recommendation from the Premier's
Council on Health Strategy that provincial priorities be
established for capital planning. the ministry developed a
four -point priority framework which consists of:
1. establishing innovative and alternative directions in ser-
vice delivery such as strong regional services which em-
phasize day treatment, outpatient and community support
terms:
2. improving province wide specialty care program such
as cancer, cardiovascular, critical care, emergency ser-
vices, maternal and newborn care, dialysis, and AIDS:
3. enabling hospitals to improve the comfort and conve-
nience of both patients and staff. while maintaining stan-
dards for safety and workplace health: and
4. strengthening hospital services, including additional
beds where necessary, to meet future growth and to provide
appropriate services to meet the needs of Ontario's aging
population.
Canada now spends more per capita on health care than
any other country in the world with a national health care
system. Ontario is one of the highest per capita spenders in
Canada. Ontario's health care system is also characterized
by one of the highest institutionalization rates in the world.
Ontario simply can't afford to rely on its institutions for
all aspects of its health care needs - in terms of cost, quali-
ty, convenience and geographic location. As well, research
has shown that many seniors now living in institutions
would be better cared for in the community with ap-
propriate support services.
The Ontario government has taken action to ensure that
the province's health resources are as effective in the 21st
century as they have been in this century.
The government is committed to equal access, high quali-
ty care and fiscal responsibility in the delivery of the pro-
vince's health care services. It is developing more com-
munity care alternatives and creating tighter links between
institutional and community services. Many services tradi-
tionally provided in hospitals can now be performed in
community-based facilities. As they are developed, ap-
propriate funding and standards must be maintained.
The government's focus is on people, the services they
need and the different ways these services can be provided,
whether it's in the hospital, community or at home. Beds
will be added to the system, only if they are determined to
be the best way to meet a community's needs.
"Together with our partners. we want to ensure that the
dollars will produce the most positive results in the reshap-
ing of our provincial health care system," said Mrs.
Caplan.
Last November, the government announced that provin-
cial support for hospital capital spending will rise 30 per-
cent to $250 million in the next fiscal year.

Held at Grace Hosotal in
Toronto, the inaugural
clinic was the fust step on
the path that led to the
creation in 1947 of the na-
tional blood program under
the Canadian Red Cross
Blood Transfusion Service.
The clinic was organized
by the Toronto Branch of
the Red Cross for the pur
pose of collecting blood to
be separated into a dried
plasma that could be ship-

treat soldiers fighting in

AT THE OPERA:
Many operas are titled
after their principal
characters. When one
overhears a remark then
that Faust say, or Anna
Bolen or Hamlet "wasn't
good the other evening",
there can be puzzlement
over whether the remark
refers to the production or
the artist performing the
role.
In the main it's not really
all that important because
operas are generally struc-
tured so that even the
failure of a principal does
not usually diminish an
overall impact. There is
one notable exception,
however, and that is the

Your Dining & Entertainment Guide
opera Carmen. The
character after whom it is
titled is indeed the opera
and if she is not effective
then neither is the total
work.
With that as preamble we
must state that the Cana-
dian Opera Company pro-
duction of Carmen, or at
least, the one we viewed on
opening night is less than
completely successful. The
fault, if fault is the word we
seek, lies with the young
lady performing the title
role. As charitable as possi-
ble and with, one hopes
some chivalry it has to be
said that she is con-
siderably less than
believable.
Carmen is a fiery temp-
tress
emptress with few morals but a
great zest for life as she
perceives it to be led. She is
a rogue but a charming,
sexy one. Cynthia Clary
has not captured, or
possibly not been allowed
to capture. the personality
that captures an audience.
Instead of a Mary
Magdalene she offers Mary
of The Cross; instead of
scarlet mood, she offers
sullenness; instead of soar
ing singing, she delivers a
text book version devoid of
expression and certainly
without the passion
demanded.
In an effort to suggest
that the fault might not be
hers. we suggest that she
might even have been bet-
ter had site been dressed
for the role. She is a thin
lady and her matchstick
shanks pushed into what
appear to have been over-
sized shoes are quite frank-
ly laughable. Could not so-
meone have realized that
she should have wom sym-
metricals?
Possibly Miss Clarey was
having an off night -
performers do have them
you know -acrd will be better
in future performances but
for now, we must regret-
tably declare hers to be the
most disappointing
Carmen we have ever ex-
perienced.
Regrettably too, our
disappointment probably
coloured an appreciation of
the production as a whole
which is not to state that
there was is not much of
considerable merit.
John Dodington has
made a welcome return to
the company and is a splen-
did Zu niga; Kathleen Brett
and Gabrielle Prata are ex-
citing as Frasquita and
Mercedes, no thin shanks
here!; Gary Rideout and
Christopher Coyes excel as
the smugglers.
One of the rare moments
when the evening comes
alive occurs with the sing-
ing of the quintet with the
smugglers, Carmen, F'ras-
qu ita and Mercedes. It is a
technical tour de force
much to be admired and
performed excellently.
Barry McCauley did well
as Don Jose but one im-
agines he had difficulty
believing he was supposed
to desert family and honour
for the Carmen presented
to him. That's probably
why he seemed wooden.
Tom Fox did as well as
possible in the role of
Escamillo given that he
shoorasell didn't look like a
torero. That's not
necessarily a fault -one at-
tends opera primarily to
hear superb singing -but
couldn't the line of his
costumes have been
tailored to the vertical
rather than the horizontal?
Edward VII as a bull
fighter doesn't quite make
it.
One had to feel sympathy
for Cynthia Haymon as
Micaela. The role calls for
a woman pure in heart and
without the notable
physical attraction of
Carmen. Given that
Carmen was without any
charm, Miss Hamon was
forced to play the role as
that of a wimp -female
version -who is more annoy-
ing than compelling.
Happily she was able to
secure the audience with
her wonderfully sweet
voice. She is good, very
good, and it's just unfor-
tunate that circumstances
conspired to place her in an
unenviable task.
The chorus under Ernest
Knell was excellent and
Aidan tang brought the or-
chestra to a level that quite
thrilled.
What a pity that Carmen
didn't.
DINNER THEATRE:
Opening tomorrow in
preview at Stage West
Theatre Restaurant is the
comedy Double Act. We
are told that it cone ns a
couple who can't live with
each other but who cannot
live without each other.
It stars George Segal
who carries a well deserv-
ed reputation as a light
comedian and we look for-
ward to seeing both Mr.
Segal and the play. Must
confess. however. a slight
disappointment in seeing
him in a comedy. Mr. Segal
is an actor of considerable
substance as witness, his
performance in Ship of
Fools and it would be
pleasurable to see him in a
roast beef performance
rather than a souffle.
Still, one can always con-
sole oneself with Stage
West's lucullan roast beef
from the buffet.
SCREEN NEWS:
Much is made over the
fact that F. Scott Fit-
zgerald was reduced in his
later years to writing
screen plays in Hollywood,
most of which were not us-
ed in any case.
Well. we've just received
with thanks the 1990
release schedule from
Orion. An early release will
be Everybody wins. Brief
narrative notes tell us that
"a schizophrenic prostitute
draws a private detective
into a murder case and
together they uncover a
corrupt small town judicial
system and save an inno-
cent man's life. "
To this movie buff it
sounds rather like a
dramatic reworking of a
Lloyd Nolan comedy of the
40's titled "Buy Me That
Town". That's alright;
good movies, even B
movies can stand a rework -
What bothers is that the
screenplay is by -are ready
for this? -Arthur Miller, the
renowned author of such
works as All My Sorts,
Death of a Salesman and
The Misfits.
"How are the mighty
fallen."

Paul James is appearing
locally on Jan. 25th but if
you can't catch him in per-

Rockin' the Blues produced

7 Days In The Caribbean
by Irene & Bob Watson
Recently we took a cruise
in the Caribbean with
Regent Holidays on the
very nice ship the MTS
Pegasus. It was quite dif-
ferent than our previous six
cruises on the Bntanis.
Worldways flew us to the
Dominican Republic - and
the whole plane had
passengers for the Pegasus
because Regent Holidays
has contracted the whole
ship for its cruises. It cer-
tainly was different to have
a ship of Canadians instead
of a variety of countries
represented, especially the
United States.
The Pegasus (belonging
to the Epirotiki Line) had a
mostly Greek crew who
were cooperative and
friendly. Our cabin
steward came in and tidied
our room about five times a
day Our dining steward
wase very nice and each din-
ner. lunch and breakfast
was enjoyable, although
the food was always done in
Greek style and didn't offer
other styles of cuisine like
we used to have on the
Britanis.
This cruise stopped at a
different island each day
and ended up at Barbados
where we boarded our
Worldways flight for
Toronto.
Our first port of call was
San Juan. Puerto Rico
where we took the night
club tour to the beautiful El
San Juan Hotel & Casino to
see one solid hour of
Flamenco dancing by
Silvia Ivar's Spanish
Ballet. The dancing was
terrific'
The next stop was at St.
Thomas, U.S. Virgin
Islands where four tours
ashore were offered, in-
cluding an "Atlantis Sub-
marine Tour". We didn't
take a tour but went ashore
to wander around the
shops.
Then it was off to St.
Maarten, that island owned
half by the Dutch and half
by the French- No obvious
border exists and the two
areas seem to cooperate
easily and have done for
300 years.
We took the "Under Two
Flags" tour and visited
Philipsburg. Capital of
Dutch St. Maarten and then
went on to have a look at
Mangot, capital of French
St. Martin. Even though we
had been to this island
before it had lots to offer a
visitor.
The next stop was An-
tigua, another island we
have previously visited. We
went ashore for a while to
browse among the shops.
Two tours were offered at
this island.
Then it was on to Martini-
que where we decided to
take one of the three tours
offered. Ours was the "St.
Pierre Tour" and we

started at Fort-de-France,
capital of the island, and
ended up at St. Pierre, site
of one of the greatest
natural catastrophies of
the century. In 1902 this ci-
ty of 30,000 people was
destroyed by an enormous
eruption of the adjacent
volcano. There was only
one survivor. We had
visited this island a couple
of times before, but it
always seems interesting
to us.
St. Lucia was the next
stop on our island tour on
the MTS Pegasus. There
were two organized tours
and we chose the "Island in
the Sun" tour.
We passed through the
town of Castries, St.
Lucia's capital, and stop-
ped at Bagshaw's, home to
the most famous of island
fashions. Lots of banana
plantations were seen and
a view of Marigot Bay
where many small boats
drop anchor.
Finally our ship dropped
anchor at Barbados. There
were four tours available
but we took the island tour
which ended up at the air-
port ready for our trip back
home.
One of the features of our
cruise was the terrific
group from Regent
Holidays led by Cruise
Director :Norma Chalmers.
Norma and her assistants
worked hard to keep
Passengers enjoying the
cruise. A daily bulletin left
in our cabins kept us all in-
formed about the entertain-
ment each night, the
movies being shown and
general information -
Other activities on the
ship included a stretch
class, chuneh service on the
Sunday, treasure hunt,
shuffleboard, game of
scrabble, water balloon
toss, not so newlywed game
(how well do you really
know your spouse'), visit
to see the navigational
bridge, pool games, bingo,
euchre tournament, a mos
querade night with prises,
horseshoe toss, and of
course, a small casino
available all the time.
We were selected to dine
at the Captain's table one
evening and shared Cap-
tain Georgios Logothetis
with Patti and Dave Baker
of Mississauga. Lynn and
Ted Bird of Schomberg and
Kim Scott of Mississauga.
Patti Baker performed at
the show, too, because she
is Jannetta on stage'
We must mention four
Century 21 Real Estate
gals from :North Bay who
were great fun all week and
seemed to really enjoy the
trip. The foursome includ-
ed Shirlene Condie, Gloria
Ion, Jean Molyneaux and
Shairon Cadger.
Our dining partners at a
table for four were Ronald
and Majorie Albrecht of
Milverton, Ontario.
Another foursome of
women from Pickering and
West Hill included Carol
Hughes, Jean Boutet, Vera
MacRae and Lillian
Parlette.
Agincourt resident Mike
Trenton seemed to enjoy
his week aboard and

How Protected Are Your RRSPs?
We've all heard of them,
most of us have one, but do
we really understand all of
the ramification?
According to Information
Officers answering en-
quiries made to the toll-
free information line
operated by the Canada
Deposit Insurance Cor-
poration (CDIC) , there is
still much confusion about
registered retirement sav-
ings plans (RRSPs). -
"Many people assume
that because an RRSP is
registered with the federal
,government, that the plan
is guaranteed by the
;government," says Charles
de LAry. CDIC's President
and Chief Executive Of-
ficer.
f-
fcer. Another misconcep-
tion is that people feel
because the trustee of their
plan is a CDIC member in-
stitution, the plan is
automatically insured by
ODIC.
"The fact that the trustee
of an RRSP is a CDIC
member institution doesn't
necessarily mean that the
investments held in the
plan are insured. Monies
held in registered plans
must be invested in
deposits that are insurable
under the CDIC Act in
order to be covered," says
de Lfsry.
CDIC is a federal crown
corporation that was
established in 1967 to pro-
tect depositors making in-
surable deposits with
member institutions.
Membership is limited to
banks trust companies and
loan companies. To qualify
for CDIC's deposit in-
surance coverage, monies
held in registered plans
must be invested in in-
surable deposits.
Insurable deposits must
be payable in Canada and
in Canadian currency,
these include investments
in savings accounts and
term deposits, i.e. invest-
ment certificates,
guaranteed investment
certificates and debentures
(other than bank deben-
tures). The maximum
deposit insurance for
deposits held in individual
RRSPs is $60,000 per
member institution. These
are separately insured
from any other deposits a

New Idea In Seniors Housing
Metro Toronto Council
has launched a housing
project for "house rich,
cash poor" seniors that it
hopes will be the beginning
of other developments
around Metro.
The first condominium in
this program is being built
on Neilson Rd. right oposite
the entrance to the
Malvern Town Centre.
Under this program
seniors would sell their
homes - in the range of
$225,000 to $250,000 - and
buy a one or two bedroom
unit for up to $140,000 on
land that would remain
Metro owned.
Michael Feldman, presi-
dent of the Metro Toronto
Housing Development
Corp. said that the excess
of $100,000 would give these
seniors about S10,000 a year
in income and together
with their Canada Pension
and Old Age Pension would
total about $20,000 annual-
ly.
When residents of this
new condonium move out
Metro would buy back the
units for the original price
plus interest on the invest-
ment.
Metro Councillor Brian
Ashton told a press con-
ference on Friday that a
survey of the 4 mile radius
of the four acres lot on
Neilson Rd. found a large
number of prospective
clients.
Idea of this project to
create good housing for
seniors would also free up
more affordable housing
for young people.
The first housing project
of this type is scheduled to
be completed in early 1992.
Metro OKs Durham Landfill Deal
In a narrow vote Metro
Council has approved of a
deal with Durham
Regional Council to par-
ticipate in the P-1 dump
site Pickering.
The agreement means
that Metro will pay
Durham $41 million in ad-
vance as well as the
disposal cost per ton for
each municipal ton dispos-
ed in the landfill site.
This provides Metro
Toronto with a capacity of
4.6 million tons to handle
the expected waste from
1990 to 1996.
From Durham Region's
point of view this agree-
ment allows it to continue
to put waste in the Brock
West landfill site until the
new Pi site in northern
Pickering is ready and
there will be a considerable
gain in capital for the
region as well.
Metro Works Commis-
sioner Ferguson told Metro
Council that he thought
that this was a good deal
for Metro.
But Pickering Mayor
Wayne Arthurs says he is
against the landfill site
deal because a closer look
at figures shows that
Durham could lose a lot of
money.

Report
from Norah Stoner
MPP Durham West
Highlighting the Last Session - Part 1
"Ontario is a prosperous society. Our Province is a safe,
clean and healthy place to live. We must make sure that it
remains that way."
Speech from The Throne, April 25, 1999
The Third Session of the Thirty -Fourth Parliament came
to a close on Dec. 20, 1909. The Liberal Government has con-
tinued to chart a carie that secures a better future for the
people of Ontario. The Government's priorities, as set out in
the April Throne Speech, have been effective in implemen-
ting a reform agenda on a number of fronts.
Count reform initiatives are ensuring a fairer, more effi-
cient and accessible system of justice for all Ontarians.
Continued economic growth and development through our
commitment to equal opportunity is being ensured by strik-
ing down unwarranted barriers and creating and maintain-
ing standards of fairness in the labour force. Access to
French language services in Ontario government offices
located in or serving a designated area of the province has
been guaranteed through implementation of the French
Language Services Act.
Building a better future for our children has remained a
broad objective for this government. To this end a new and
innovative prevention model will support children at risk.
Greater enforcement measures ensure continued high
quality licensed child care throughout Ontario. Ensuring
accessible postsecondary education remains a high priori-
ty. As well, the implementation of sweeping reforms to On-
tario's social assistance system is reducing complexity and
building greater fairness. Significant strengthening of the
community care system will support seniors. disabled per-
sons and other vulnerable members of our society.
The government is continuing to work toward a greater
sense of safety and security in our communities as is
critical to our province's future well-being and develop-
ment. An anti-drug strategy has been implemented which
focuses on prevention and education through community
.action and law enforcement. The first comprehensive
reform of the Police Act in over four decades will ensure
representative and responsible law enforcement in our pro-
vince.
The emphasis in this session, has again, been on reform-
ing an existing system and its structures. This change can-
not happen overnight. My government has shown clear
