Before I leave the topic of my Private Member's Bill, The Innocent Per- sons Protection Act, I would like to acknowledge and express my appreciation of the editorial support which the media in York Centre gave to the principle of that Bill. As I reported last week, the Bill was defeated in a free vote of the members by only 15 votes, and I believe that the real reason for this lay in the fact that there is insufâ€" ficient time allocated for debate of Private Member’s Bills. Nevertheless I am heartened exceedingly by the attitude generally displayed which would hold from publication the names of those in~ dividuals charged with offences prior to the commencement of their trial. FOREIGN ADS The Opposition has strongly condemned the Government for spon~ soring advertisements in British newspapers for skilled workers while there are 319,000 people unemployed in Ontario. Apparently. London Sun called for e tradesmen to General Mc smission plan 3-12 â€" THE LIBERAL. Wednesday, May 2, 1979 soring advertisements in British newspapers for skilled workers while there are 319,000 people unemployed in Ontario. Apparently, an ad in the London Sun in March called for experienced tradesmen to work in the General Motors tran- smission plant in Wind- sor. Although the ad was paid for by the automotive company, it was placed and sponsored by the Ontario Govern- ment's selective placement service in London. When asked why Ontario residents are not being trained to fill such positions, the Minister of Education replied that she was not aware of the advertisement, and that while adequate training exists in Ontario, the Government can‘t “go out and coerce people into training programs". When a North Bay man approached the Ministry of Education‘s industrial training branch in North Bay about becoming an apprentice, he was told by them to look in the yellow pages to find a possible employer. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith raised this matter in the Legislature, and also reported that Ministry officials told the man it was not their job to find such positions. When he telephoned Ministry offices in Toronto he was told some firms were placing advertisements in the Saturday edition of a Toronto newspaper, and were interested in hiring apprentices. Last Monday night. Richmond Hill town council passed a bylaw expropriating lands for an outlet channel to be constructed from the west end of Lake Wilcox to Yonge Street. The Minister of Education said she was not aware of this situation, and that it is, in fact. the role of the in- dustrial training branch to assist young people to become involved in ap- prenticeship. MINI-SKOOLS The Minister of Com- munity and Social Ser- vices has announced that new channel Town passes bylaw for A Hearing Officer had been appointed by the province to hear ob- jections from land owners as well as reasons why the town considered the Channel necessary. Seventyâ€"seven homes are in the area designated “flood plain”, meaning in a severe storm these homes would be flooded out without an outlet channel to control the level of the lake. There were four ob- jections from land owners not living in Richmond Hill, that the hearing officers did not consider valid. The land expropriated is “very marshy" with no homes built on the property, said Mayor Dave Schiller. Mayor Schiller said the town hopes to begin Work this summer on the outlet channel, but under ex- propriation procedure the first possible date con- tractors could enter the lands Would be June 11.
