time in Ontarios history the es tablishmcnt of the first time home buyers grant The aim of this proposal was to stimulate the housing mark et throughout Ontario and has ically to help thousands of peo ple who wanted very much to move out of rental accommoda tion into their own home The first time home buyers grant was designed to encour age homeownership and in small way remove some of the pressures building up in rental property particularly in our growing cities The encouragement of home ownership among as many peo ple as possible was also consts tent with the philosophy of the Progressive Conservative party It helped those people who were closest to becoming home buy ers but needed that extra push to help them achieve their new status The then Official Opposition Liberal party regarded the measures as simply give6 wavy program which was poli tically motivated To them it was cynical move which would was te Ontarios resources By taking this position the then Official Opposition was as well condemning the $600 feder al grant to prospective house purchasers That grant applied to only one section of the hous ing market namely new homes In constnast the Ontario plan applied to singledamily dwell ings condominiums unit of caoperative housing corpora tion mobile homes new houses and old homes There were no pnice qualifications on the value of the house nor an income test to be Providi the house was hab itable by Dec 31 1975 the new owner received $1000 grant and two $250 grants over the next two years providing the porch aser remained in his new home during that time For such terrible program am happy to report that the number of home buyers exceed ed our wildest expectations As of Jan 1976 80565 ap plications were received Some 65272 were approved and 682 were rejected Another 12 CORRECTION On page 16 of our after inventory clearance flyor there is an error The Concord brick at $599 states it comes in cartons of 55 sq it It should read
