The Ontario bill would re- quire the dealers to give pros- pective customers details of a car's history. All used car sales- men would also have to be li- censed. In British Columbia, dealers who change mileage readings can have their business licences suspended or cancelled under the proposed legislation. Legislatures also sat in New- foundland, Prince Edward Is- land, Nova Scotia, New Bruns- wick, Quebec and Saskatche- wan. The Ontario legislature also heard legislation which would require inspection of all motor vehicles at six-month intervals. In British Columbia, the leg- islature also gave first reading to a bill which explained the government's proposed regional hospital district plan. The plan will allow the cabi- net to divide British Columbia into districts for the purpose of financing hos pital programs, projects, construction and im- provement. In other legislature business: Fredericton--The New Bruns- wick government's speech from the throne forecast formation of a housing corporation that would begin programs for rural and urban housing. The speech also forecast an office of ombudsman, main pub- lic documents to be made avail- Sales Tax Rules, Regulations Broaden Articles Exemption TORONTO (CP)--New sales tax rules and regulations an- nounced in the legislature Tues- day by provincial Treasurer Charles MacNaughton will re- move the five-per-cent impost from some'farm machinery and broaden exemptions for child- ren's clothing. Mr. MacNaughton told the house the changes will also re- duce the frequency with which vendors must report to the gov- ernment. The number of re- turns filed annually would be cut to 800,000 from 1,200,000 without exposing the govern- ment to "any appreciable rev- enue loss." : A spokesman for the retail sales tax branch said later that most farm machinery and equipment already is tax ex- empt and the new regulations will amount to '"'tidying things up a bit." Among the exemptions sought in briefs from farm organiza- tions were replacement tires for tractors. The government spokesman said tires had been if they didn't mind wearing clothes designed for children. Mr. MacNaughton said one regulation has already been amended so that the sales tax won't apply to transfer of tax- able goods from one legal] en- tity to another "if they are looked upon as substantially the same person." He cited as an example the transfer of goods between a parent firm and its subsidiary, and stated that the previous re- quirement imposed a hardship on some small corporate bod- ies without access to the tech- nical advice available to large firms. The minister also outlined changes in rulings affecting sheet-metal contractors, furri- ers and upholsterers. He said that in sale of pack- aged goods containing both tax- able and tax-exempt commodi- ties the full tax will apply on packages with 75 per cent of its contents taxable. Packages with a content below 75 per cent will be tax-free. tax-exempt only when sold with the tractor. Girls' clothing will now be tax-exempt up to size 14x in- stead of 14 and boys to size 18 instead of 16. The broader ex- emption will apply to dresses, suits, blouses, trousers, slache jeans and underwear. HIGHER EXEMPTIONS The spokesman said the ex- emptions for hose, hats and other clothing will also go up "slightly." : Mr. MacNaughton said the government has been accused of discriminating against large children by making size the cri- terion in determining the cloth- ing exemption. "We have seriously studied other approaches," he said, "but invariably realize the most feasible "approach is the size factor." The minister said the broad- ening of the exemption will stay within the size range of clothing designed for children. : Under the new regulations tax on clothing worn by some large children may still occur, he said. But on the other hand some small adults would be able to get tax-exempt clothing Fast Action HOUSE SALES!

Brig. W. J. Lawson, judge ad- vocate - general, and a small battery of armed forces lawyers spent 5% hours on the commit- tee's witness stand Tuesday ex- plaining the necessary amend- ments. It didn't end there, of course. That's because the 64-clause unification bill, known officially as the Canadian Forces Reor- ganization Act, itself amends the National Defence Act. Marcel Lambert (PC -- Ed- monton West) said: "They've combed the statutes for the words navy, army and air force and spit them out like sour prunes." PARLIAMENT AT-A-GLANCE By THE CANADIAN PRESS TUESDAY, March 14, 1967 Conservatives called for withdrawal of govern- ment spending estimates be- cause the armed forces were listed in one item although PIPELINE PROPOSAL Regina --A CCF resolution asking the Saskatchewan gov- ernment to urge Ottawa to en- sure the proposed Trans-Canada pipeline be located entirely in Canada was defeated in the leg- islature on a standing vote of 26 to 19. Charlottetown --The Liberal government's proposal to lower the P.E.I. voting age to 18 at the opening of the legislature Tuesday was greeted with ap- proval by Conservative Opposi- tion Leader Walter Shaw. Among the highlights of the throne speech were several pro- posals aimed at the youth of the province including estab- lishment of a new division of youth affairs, increased grants to the province's two universi- ties and an increase in univer- unification has not yet been approved by Parliament. Speaker Lucien Lamoureux reserved decision on a motion that the defence section of the estimates be redrafted. In the defence committee, former def ini forces rank insignia are intro- duced? Gen. Jean V. chief of defence staff, has told| the committee he is partial to| naval officers' insignia. The Coastal Fisheries Protec- tion Act has to be amended be-| cause it says a naval.officer can act for the fisheries depart- ment as a protection official. But the navy will be out so out will come the reference to na- val officer. The Official Secrets Act has to be amended because it men- tions navy, army and air force munitions. The description is changed to "military"? munitions. Mr. Lambert asked whether the word "military" is defined 'in the Officials Secrets Act. No, said Brig. Lawson, but it is defined in the Interpreta- tion Act. The brigadier added that the Interpretation Act will be amended by Parliament.
