Two bills have been introduced by the Attomey-General which will amend the Judicature Act and the Juries Act, respectively. The amendment to the Judicature Act provides for bilingual trials in courts in designated counties and districts of Ontario. and would L358“ 5-7 lb. 5le L398" Our Reg. Price $1.18 enable these courts to receive evidence and conduct proceedings in the French language in appropriate cases. The Juries Amendment Act is complementary to the Judicature Act and provides for the sheriff to identify the persons on the jury roll who are bilingual English. In the opinion of the Attorney General, these amendments represent a major step towards laying the “foundation for the further development and expansion of French language services in Ontario courts". Albert Roy. Liberal MPP (Ottawa East), who has â€" since 1973 â€" introduced Private Members‘ bills which would amend this legislation in a similar fashion, congratulated the Attomey-General on the bills, which he conâ€" sidered “an important step”. According to Ministry of Education statistics, only 43.5 per cent of the 6,279 people who graduated from the 13 provincial teacher education institutions last year found work with public or separate schools. Elementary teachers were more fortunate than their high school counterparts: some 55 per cent of them are employed, compared with only 33 per cent of secondary graduates. A report prepared by the Council of Ontario Universities states that twice as many teachers graduated in 1977 than were required by provincial schools and the market is expected to deteriorate before it begins to irr_1pro_ve._ At the high school level, according to the report, the supply of teachers is three times the demand. More than 3,000 high school teachers graduated in 1977 and only slightly more than 1,000 were required. Projections outlined in the report indicate that the demand for high school teachers will fall to near zero by 1981 or 1982 and then increase slightly. A _ _ The demand for elementary teachers will, apparently, remain constant until early in the next decade, when it will begin to increase a little. Maj.
