m hodgson angry over opposition tactics toe tribune thursday pec 131973 5 the splendor of arabia the splendor of the great arabian horses s shown along with the beautiful costume of the rider during the markham santa claus parade saturday mike gerhardt by bill hodgson mpp a week or so ago the legislature was debating a bill designed to provide some much needed aid to our senior citizens the opposition members in a display that was as irresponsible as any i have seen in my time in the house seized the occasion to play petty partisan politics setting political expediency above the public interest is offensive at any time but in this case their tactics came very close to depriving needy elderly pensioners of a welcome christmas bonus let me give you some of the background back in october the govern ment decided that a good many of our oldage pensioners confined to fixed incomes were being severely squeezed by the increases in the cost of living accordingly it was determined that if the federal government wouldnt help them the province as a matter of humanity should a bill business directory farm safety certified public accountant mi bregman sharpley kusatz chartered

65 years of age or over who is presently in receipt of the federal guaranteed income supplement this involves an expenditure by the province of over 17 million and a special expenditure of this nature must be approved by the legislature that is as it should be the intention was that this money should be received by trie people in the first week or so of december so that they could have it in time for christmas shopping if they wished consequently the cheques were prepared with a date of november 28th and you can imagine it takes a while to prepare over 340000 cheques there is a legal technicality that enters at this point the govern ment must have the authority to issue these cheques on or before their date and it wouldnt have that authority until the bill passed third reading and received royal assent the lieutenant- governor was standing by ready to give royal assent by midnight that night as soon as the bill was given third reading the opposition princi pally the socialists then proceeded to do everything they could to prevent passage in time it turned out later that there was some doubt as to the validity of that legal opinion but no one knew it until it was too late to matter as far as the house was concerned that night if new cheques had to be prepared it was physically impossible to distribute them until the new year the substance of the ndp position was that old age pensions are presently inadequate and should be raised no one really disputes this but they also know full well that this is a matter of primarily federal authority and secondly that the whole subject is presently being studied at the federalprovincial ministerial level with an overhaul of the scheme expected in the not too distant future their argument as far as this bill was concerned was irrelevant even if the ontario government had the power or the money and it has neither it could hardly put it together in a couple of hours on a wednesday evening mkmbkr or dkntrrist socikty of

against anything despite all the filibustering the bill was ready for third reading at 950 pm tuesday the house by the rules sits to 1030 there was plenty of time and it was accordingly called for third reading debate on third reading is rare since everything to be said has been said before that time usually more than once the opposition however wasnt through obstructing and in a desperate attempt to stop passage they claimed that a bill cant be given third reading on the same day that it receives second reading now i have sat in this chamber for six years and i can recall any number of occasions when this has been done without any challenge nevertheless they argued up to 1030 and when the house leader moved that the house sit beyond the normal hours which he has every right to do they even called for a vote on that that vote wasnt taken until nearly midnight because the ndp members simply would not show up for it till then the whole sorry spectacle wasnt over yet various technical ploys were tried none of which had anything to do with the bill but were designed only to try to wear the government down such politically self- seeking tactics are silly and transparent at any time but when they risk harming a deserving segment of our people they are deplorable senior citizens in this province i know will be thankful that the government stuck to its resolve anniversary-
