The Provincial Treasurer is to be chairman of a special board of Ministers to decide which companies qualify for assistance. and how much money is to be involved in each case. New measures are to be taken to encourage the flow of risk capital into new and expanding small businesses. and the speech indicated that programs to encourage investment in en» trepreneurial business ventures have failed in .recent years.

The government has maintained that spending on social services will not be reduced in favor of grants to industry. and “after careful review” it has withdrawn a suggestion mentioned by the Premier in a reCent speech. that some drugs might no longer be available under the drug benefit program for the elderly. The Throne Speech stated that “some may wish to argue as to whether the primary emphasis of this session should be directed to improving the economic climate of Ontario or to improving the social services available to our people.
