Manitoba Legislature Faces Wide Bill Agenda
The legislature introduced five bills this week including the Metric Conversion Act and amendments to the Tuberculosis Act, Provincial Judges Act, Queen's Bench Act, and Electoral Divisions Act. Education minister Keith Co sens announced sixteen mentally handicapped youths will be hired through a new work and skills program, earning 128 dollars weekly while taking evening upgrading classes. Agriculture minister Downey signaled possible amendments to Bill 25 to empower cattle producers with a 25 cent per head fee to fund advertising and education programs. Flyers Industries Ltd, a Manitoba state firm, secured a 2.3 million contract to build 31 transit buses for Toronto, sustaining operations through December 1978. Farmlands Protection Board chief Frank Muirhead warned of land purchases beyond act limits as a Toronto firm seeks 1,400 acres near McCreary, with scrutiny at Land Titles. Mines minister Brian Ransom and NDP House Leader Sid Green backed Bill 27 to empower shutdowns of polluting plants for 21 days, plus cost recovery from polluters. Finance minister Don Craik said Manitoba may have a hydro surplus for years, with Jenpeg and Longspruce plants coming on stream and talks of a cross-country Northern Power grid. Premier Sterling Lyon recuperates from gallbladder surgery. Government reviews include a $653 million health spending package and a $9.5 million Consumer Affairs request, while child deathcare remains frozen and a dental care pilot using private dentists is debated.
