Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. Feb. 25, 1987 Opinion a page for expression for you and us The Death Penalty Great emotion will be seen as Parliament gets down to discussing whether to re -instate the death penalty in Canada. Of course, the fact that 85% of Canadians - by a number of polls. including ones done by Liberal MPs when Trudeau was in power - are in favour of the death penalty doesn't seem to bother those opposed. Justice Minister Ray Hnatyshyn has indicated that he is another cabinet minister along with Prime Minister Mulroney and External Affairs Minister Joe Clark, who doesn't know much about the world. Mr. Hnatyshyn is quoted as saying "it is largely totalitarian regimes like those in the Soviet Union, Iran and South Africa that still apply the death penalty". For the minister's information South Africa has regular elections for its voters, just like we do - and they get less than perfect governments just like we do! Another further piece of information for the justice minister is that parts of the United States have the death penalty and even Malaya. According to statistics put on the front page by the Toron- to Star the murder rate per 100.000 was 1.17 in 1962 when the last execution took place at Toronto's Don Jail. The murder rate rose to 2.81 in 1975 and it was 2.52 in 1985. It seems strange that all these cabinet ministers - the PM, Joe Clark and Ray Hnatyshyn - who have an intense dislike for South Africa and harsh sanctions on it, are against the death penalty in Canada. All three gentlemen. in our opi- nion, are very unknowledgeable about world affairs and probably about crime and executions. So we hope that Mr. and Mrs. Average Canadian gets pro- per representation down at Ottawa and we re-establish the death penalty for those crimes which deserve it. My Canada Ib)Bob Watson There is quite a shock these days for many Canadians wbo really believe that Canada is a land full of Canadians - and not a land just dedicated to receiving newcomers. However, among the recant imrnigramts to this country there appears to be somewho think that they can corse here and work and live and remain Chinese or Greek or Carib- bean etc. for all of their time here in Canada. Our govern- ments have been negligent in not pointing out that Canada is a country and no matter what we look like or come from, we should become Canadians. The children and grand- children of immigrants are going to become Canadians and give up some of the traditions of their parents and that is how it should be. Unfortunately. our federal and provincial governments for some years have been encouraging cultural activities and the keeping d one's culture and now language without the equal. and certainly not the least idea of becoming a Canadian. This, in our opinion, puts a tremendous pressure on Canadiao-born youngsters who want to be totally Cana- dian but have parents extolling and keeping then in the language and culture of their own. With the entire world represented in Metro Toronto and area it is inevitable that there will be marriages of people between the cultures and races and how do the various groups accept this idea. Most in their own lands would not accept this intermarriage. In our opinion we are not selling the idea of "Being Cana- dian" to newcomers to our land. Some of us are generations into Canada and we have fought a war or two to preserve our land from outside forces. So it is extremely disconcer- ting to have newcomers to Canada telling us that things have changed and now the newcomers' way will be the new way and we "out of date" Canadians are just "not with it". As your writer has told many newcomers, ..don't remain in your own little enclave, but join is Canadians in making the future of Canada - not your former homeland - greater and better for us all." Canada is a country. We do have traditions and we have two languages. If one million people came from Turkey to our land tomorrow, we are not going to switch to being Turks because this is Canada.

EDITORIAL - Audrey Purkiss. Gay Abbate, Diane Matheson, Bill Watt, Liz Payne. SUBSCRIPTIONS - S10 per year - 259 a copy. Letter To The Editor Luke Tao Says We're "Off -Base & III- informed" Dear Sir: Your editorial on Heritage Languages Program ( Feb. 18!87) was off -base and ill-informed. Mr. Watson is ap- parently oblivious to both the changing community in Scar- borough and the position advanced by the Multicultural and Race Relations Committee of Human Services of Scar- borough. Mr. Watson contends that Heritage Languages Programs "should not be on the agenda of a working school day", seemingly unaware that we are advocating Saturday morn-- Ing orn-Ing classes which would not affect regular school teachers or students who do not wish to enrol in the program. The editorial paid little attention to the educational and other benefits of language training. Few people ( including Mr. Watson) attack the value of teaching of German, Spanish, Latin, etc. to high school students. Why all the fuss about teaching languages to younger students? Research in Canada and other parts of the world has indicated that lear- ning another language does not have a negative effect on the learning of English, and in most cases, improves the students' academic and intellectual achievement. My ex- perience as a father reinforces these findings. My son speaks and writes English, French and Chinese. He is enrolled in the Extended French Program and also the community -run Chinese language classes on Saturday mor- ning. He is a top student in his public school and is very ac- tive in extracurricular activities. He feels confident about his cultural identity. As a result, he has a better chance of reaching his full potential and integrating into the broader society. Scarborough ratepayers would be less than $14,000 about 0.004% of the Scarborough Education budget. Far from be- ing expensive, the Heritage Languages Program represents the best bargain available to the Scarborough Board of Education. Incidently, it should be noted that, because of the way education is financed in Metro Toronto, Scarborough residents have been helping to pay for the HLP's offered by other boards in Metro. Unfortunately, Scarborough kids are denied this opportunity to benefit from our property tax contribution. In his editorial, Mr. Watson frequently referred to 'some immigrants' who should not ask for taxpayers' money for language training. He seems to have forgotten that these immigrants pay taxes too. Mr. Watson's editorial will no doubt comfort some of the Scarborough trustees who share his romantic vision of the Scarborough that once was. Their narrow, insular point of view is fading fast - the tide is turning. So far, 47 community ;groups including community associations, parent associa- tions, churches, and various etlnoc'ultural groups have Joined forces to support the Heritage Languages Program for Scarborough kids. Four (4) of the Five (5) M.P.P.'s in Scarborough have also demonstrated strong support. The ultimate irony was that Mr. Watson's ill-conceived editorial was published during 'Heritage Week' - so much for unity through diversity. Sincerely, One of Mr. Watson's major concerns is the 'high cost' of !Luke Tao Chairman implementing a board -run Heritage Languages Program.

Lily Munro, Minister of Citizen- ship and Culture. has announced that the Malaysian Government has contracted to purchase the Canada Science Circus, a travelling exhibit of 50 of the Ontario Science Centre's most successful exhibits and demonstra- tions. "Science Circus delighted 85,000 Malaysian visitors dur- ing its four-week visit to Kuala Lumpur in May 1986," ex- plained Mrs. Munro. "One of those visitors, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, was so impressed he began negotia- tions to purchase it." The agreement includes the services of Ontario Science Centre Staff who will travel to Kuala Lumpur to convert the exhibition to Malaysia's electrical standards. They will also train Malaysian staff to manage, maintain, program and host the circus "rhe federal government should immediately introduce a visitor's visa for travellers to Canada from all countries except the United States," Pauline Browes, M.P., Scar- borough Centre. announced recently. "Over 80% of the people in my riding support the in- troduction of a comprebersive visitor's visa as a means of better controlling entry into Canada and better protecting our national sovereignty," said Browes. Canada currently requires visas for visitors from some 95 countries. "It is time we went all the way and treated every country equally instead of reacting to situations, such as the Turkish incident, as they arise," added Browes. Browes noted that, given the huge flow of travellers across the Canada -U.S. border, it would be impractical to require a visa for visitors from the U.S. In making her statement, Browes released draft legisla- tion for public consideration.

Feb. 25, 1987 THE NEWS/POST Page 3 Scarborough Gets Tax Office Four Scarborough Members of Parliament have jointly announced the opening of a new income tax office in Scarborough, on behalf of Revenue Minister, Elmer MacKay. The new office is designed to make departmental ser- vices more accessible to taxpayers. In commenting on the opening, Bob Hilus (Scar- borough East), Pauline Browes (Scarborough Cen- tre), Paul McCrossan (York Scarborough) and Reg Stackhouse (Scar- borough West) said that "we are very pleased the minister has listened to our representations on this matter. We have been call- ing on the government for an office such as this and we are very happy with the response. The new office will mean even better ser- vice for taxpayers in this area, who previously dealt with the Toronto District Office, 1. The Scarborough office, located in an existing government-owned building at 200 Town Centre Court, will provide assistance to the taxpayers of the City of Scarborough, the Regional Municipality of Durham and a portion of the Regional Municipality of York consisting of the town of Markham, Whitchurch-Stouffville, East Gwillimbury and Georgina Township. Under the planned reorganiza- tion, the new office will be staffed by 425 employees from the Toronto District Office. This new office will pro• vide personal counter ser- vice to the public, collect accounts, audit tax returns and deal with notices of ob- jection from taxpayers. As well as answering general income tax questions, the staff will provide informa- tion on completing tax returns and a wide range of free tax information pam- phlets. During this filing season, however, public telephone enquires will still be answered from the Toronto District Office: general en- quiries (416) 869-1500; re- quests for forms, (416) 865-9469; refund enquiries, (416) 368-7431. Family Shelter May Be Built By Metro In Malvern by Gay Abbate Scarborough's first fami- ly shelter may be built by Metro Toronto Housing Company (MTHC) . MTHC has taken out an option on a parcel of land on the east side of Neilsen Rd. and Sewells and McLevin Rds. north of the church site and west of the Malvern Community and Recreation Centre. According to a preliminary report recent- ly circulated to the com- munity, MTHC plans to in- clude a 30 bed emergency housing facility as part of its development of the site. The shelter would be operated by Homeward Family Shelter, a non- profit group, and would provide emergency hous- ing for families who may have lost their homes due to rine or eviction. It will also take in bat- tered women who may need a safe place to stay for a while. Counselling will also be provided on site. The rest of the develop - men evelopmens includes an apart- ment building for seniors and single adults. The loo one -bedroom and 53 bachelor units will be operated by MTHC. The project also includes 84 townhouses for families. 21 of which will have sub- sidized rents. Another com- ponent will be a day care centre operated by Metro Toronto Community Ser- vices. As well, the Malvern Family Resource Centre, presently located in the church next door, will move its offices into the new building. The project has not yet gone to the city's planning committee for re -zoning approval. MTHC is a non-profit housing company which operates most of the senior buildings in Scarborough and Metro Toronto. It also operates Empringham Mews, a family housing project at the northeast corner of Sewells Rd. and Empringham Dr. CLOSET ORGANIZER custom built in your home Call Brian 293-7037 for FREE ESTIMATE S11,o3shyouroil bills viffian c plenum heater Sick and tired of high oil heating bills' By installing an add-on plenum heater in your oil furnace you can cut your oil consumption up to 750/o, and increase the efficiency of your heating system!

Around and About s (y Your Dining & Entertainment Guide Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: The National Ballet of Canada is celebrating its 35th anniversary year bet- ween November of 1986 and '87. Pray allow us to offer three tributes. The fust is for Vanessa Harwood who has now left the company. We were at her farewell performance a fortnight ago and what a bittersweet experience it was. Miss Harwood was danc- ing Swandda in Coppelia and while freely acknowledging that our love of ballet can sometimes supercede our appreciation of it we believe we might have seen her at her best. Yes, we know there are those who suggest that she is now perhaps too old for such roles - she's in her fourth decade for gawdsake! - but we say. predicated on our viewing of her final performance, that such considerations are nothing more than speciouls codswallop - Even conceding that she might have been dancing over her head on a night set aside as a tribute to her, she was still the country girl filled with spuds and determined to keep her elan. And, she did not let the emotionalism of the even- ing overlap into her tedlni- que; she did not dance with abandon but rather with conditioned discipline. Even her naughty slap on the buttocks was sug- gestive rather than ex- plicit. Gregory Osborne was her partner in this her final performance and we believe he is as close as anyone could get to her best partner, Peter Schaufuss. He is tall. lithe and incredibly strong. We still insist that his balon is not the best in the company but we also insist that given his strength and sheer / When in Toronto visit: Eastbourne, 38ibl jgapti5t (Eburd S41 DANFORTH RD. 261.7458 Standing for the NJV 1611 as God's preserved. infaddtle. axxratt Nati(. the Dei# at Christ, IisS ttlood atorlt:+r+erlt, salvation by ladh, nea testament. soul wnrtng and the return et D St DAVID BOWLER PASTOR • OPPOSING MODERNISM, WORLDLINESS AND FORMAUSM power it doesn't really mat- ter. Gizella Witkowsky was the gypsy leader and while she does not as yet ap- proach the splendid savagery of Linda Maybar- duk in the role, she imWev it with a strength and naughtiness that is hers alone. We wish also to single out Clinton Luckett as the Harlequin. Here is a young dancer to watch. Remember where you read that fust. It remains though that the evening belonged, and rightly so, to Miss Har- wood. We hugely enjoyed her performance as indeed, we have enjoyed her for some happy years and if the joy was tempered by a few tears (ours) at her departure, then c'est la vie but, oh how we wish it could be au revoir! In Its current engage- ment at The O'Keefe the company is presenting a tribute to George Balan- chine with three of his cboreographed works. It's difficult to recall now that Mr. Balanchine was once consider 1.1 -enfant terrible" in ballet circles. His works seem almost pristime compared to the excesses of some of today's so called choreographers. They are however firmly rooted in the disciplines of the classics and are therefore timeless. (We cannot resist a shaft in the direction of Danny Grossman and Robert DesRosiers in suggesting that their works will not be remembered at all let alone with the affection of such masters as Mr. Balam- The fust work of the evening was Serenade set to the music of Tchalkowsky's Serenade in C Major for strings. To be brutally hottest, even this long hamstrung former hoofer would probably look good moving to the • Fundamental • Uncompromising • Independent • "fissions • Separated -,Singing the • Sculwinning Old Time Hymms Preaching the Bible as it is to men as they are. It just migh exactly what you are looking fort measured cadences of the master musician. Given however, fine choreography and fine dancers Serenade is an almost orgasmic pleasure to watch and to hear. The bell tubo are ex- tended in an uneven line to give an even greater beauty of line to the ballerinas and the costumes of the male dancers are just spartan enough to act as counter- point. Ordinarily, one does not linger upon costum- ing in an abstract ballet but we have chosen to do so in order to make the point that all aspects of the work are rooted in Balanchine's determina- tion to make the dance supreme, not ancillary. The five principals were Evelyn Hart, Sabina Allemann, Karyn Tessmer, Anthony Ran- dazzo and Gregory Osborne. Only a churl would suggest that any one was better than the others but once again Mr. Osborne seemed to capture most eyes. The second work of the evening was The Four Temperaments to the music of Paull Hindemith who seems to have learn- ed music by studying Schoenberg's blotting paper. Still, it makes the ac- complishments of the dancers even more noteworthy (no pun intend- ed) and if the choreography fails to reflect accurately the emo- tions that are supposed to be represented well, what odds? Jeremy Ranson was much enjoyed in Melan- cholic. It's a dreadful work but be breathes some life into it and it is sheer delight to watch his balon. He quite literally seems to sink soft- ly into the stage on his lan- dings. Kim Lightheart and Ray- mond Smith danced the Sanguinic and did so beautifully but we must ad- mit to a painful distraction. Early in her career we commented on what ap- peared to be excessive blocking by Miss Lightheart. That seems to have been left behind but we now find ourself con- cerned over her tight lac - W& shoes are so tightly laced as to pinch in above the ankle and make it seem that She is wearing sym- metricals. We're sure that the good people at The Na- tional know what they are doing but we worry about Miss Lightheart lacing so Owen Montague impress- ed in Phlegmatic even though the measure of the dance was far from that and Karen Kain was similarly burdened by her choreography in Choleric. In the latter case, however, it didn't matter. We rather share the opi- nion of colleague Bob Penn- ington that Miss Klin is at the top of her form now and we offer as proof, her per- formance on this evening. More about her as we ad- dress Symphony in C. It was the final work of the evening and to the music of Bad who, con- trary to what seems to be the thought in some quarters, actually wrote more than simply Carmen. It too is made up of four movements. The first is Allegro Vivo and it was good to see Tomas Schramek again, part- nered with Karen Tessmer. He is a good workmanlike dancer but the presence of Miss Tessmer accents his efforts into near art. It's not too banal to remark that she is the mustard on his roast beef sandwich. Karen Kain returned for the Adagio second move- ment and danced superbly. We have remarked previously on her attitude, the striking and holding of a posture. In this piece her attitude is exemplary. We recall with a thrill a superb arabesque with a seeming mere fingertip support from her partner Rex Har- rington. Almost incredible. Kevin Pugh is apparently still having physical pro- blems and was replaced by Raymond Smith for the Allegro Vivace with Cyn- thia Lucas. Both imbued it with all that the name im- plies. The final movement is a second Allegro Vivace and although the nominal prin- cipals were Martine Lamy and Anthony Randazzo it was the company that en- thralled with a grand finale. Wed.

We refer specifically to the attitude of the corps in framing some measures. Remaining motionless but in attitude for such long periods of time still fills to with wonder. And, so did the evening in tribute to George Balan- Chlne. Now, we wish to offer our persomal tribute to the Na- tional. The gala 30th an- niversary celebration is be- ing held this evening and much will be written about it. We wish only to make our tribute by expressing our thanks to the company for the many hours of pleasure we have derived from it.

The weather is almost perfect with temperatw^es ranging from 75F to OW and a constant coding trade wind, there are 365 unspoiled benches and the people are friendly. The 106 -square mile island offers some d the best duty-free shopping bargains as well as water sports activities plus golf, tennis, hiking. casinos and nightly entertainment with the traditional steel ba and nk acalypso. re Accommodation is pien- tiful and varied with mo than 30 hotels ranging in price from hncurwus to moderate. The island also offers guest houses and family cottages for rent. nd My husband aIdose the Anchorage Hotel at Dickenson Bay for our two- week stay in Antigua. The Anchorage offers comfor- table air-conditioned rooms as well as rondavels, or small cottages, situated night on the beach. We stayed in one of the latter and found it just to our liking. Constructed to resemble African buts, they do not have air- conditioning but with a fan nd in the ceiling awindows on both sides the lovely sea air blowing in the evenings made sleeping very com- fortable. We enjoy a g nip in the sea before breakfast so we just had to walk a few steps from our cottage to the water's edge. Inciden- tally the Anchorage does not have a pool so if you are not a sea -lover, as we are, this hotel is not for you. Another reason we selected the Anchorage was for its beaches. We could walk for miles along the beach, except for a small del on a roadway. The Anchorage has a charming open-air dining room where enjoyed the sound of the sea while din- ing. The food is varied and good and the staff is very friendly. We took the meal plan for one week and the second week ezpicred some of the dining spots on the island. Two restaurants which we enjoyed were just a short walk slang the beach - The Lobster Pot and The Pier, the latter provided entertainment as well. Not to be missed is a restaurant called .•Cloud's" which gets its name because it is located on top of a mountain. The view is fabulous and the food was the best we had in Antigua. It is just a short walk along the beach where you climb into a van for a drive up the mountain to the restaurant, but reservations are a must. Other restaurants we en- joyed were DuBarry's and Latbefmdd both just a short taxi ride from The An- chorage Hotel. There are many places of interest on the island and getting around is easy either by taxi or renting a care. If you rent a car, remember to drive on the left. We rented a car and driver one day and toured the island with stops at some of the historical sites and buildings such as Nelson's Dockyard at English Harbour, Clarence House the former residence of the Duke of Clarence and where Wed.

Since divorce ends one in three mar- riages. there are few of us whose lives are untouched by it. Rev. Sanguin discussed frankly the admonition by Jesus, not to divorce. In Biblical times, it was easy for men to divorce their wives, and women were possessions to be discarded when outgrown. It was Jesus' compassion for women, as people, that led to his words. Do couples think about the vows they make to each other? Should husbands and wives pull out those vows, once a year and dust tbem off, in a form of rela- tionship spring -cleaning' - Sometimes, in compas- sion for all, a marriage should be ended.

He Informed the House that, along with his provincial counter- parts across Canada, he was successful in reaching a con- sensus about the provision of genuine choice for families to select the form of child care best suited to their needs. The ministers responsible agreed that each province must have as much flexibility as possible to shape their child care systems to meet their different needs. "We af- firmed that provinces retained full responsibility for the design and delivery of child care services with the federal government as an equal funding partner," Mr. Sweeney said. In addition, Ontario will continue to press the federal government, through a series of bilateral meetings, to develop and confirm a national strategy for child care. Tak- ing the initiative, Mr. Sweeney said he is committed to pro- viding an early indication of Ontario's program plans. "This government has inherited a child care system in which half of the licensed spaces are in the commercial sec- tor. We want to ensure that families using those existing spaces receive the same quality of care as that offered in the non-profit sector, while at the same time encouraging the growth of non-profit child care.- said Mr. Sweeney. RESULTS FROM WASHINGTON Premier David Peterson returned from Washington after taking Ontario's concerns directly to the protectionist legislators on Capitol Hill. Tough talk on the steel industry with Senator Heinz of Pennsylvannia resulted in the senator's admission that the efficient production of Cana- dian steel is not part of the problem faced by U.S. steel pro- ducers. As Premier Peterson said in the legislature, "Senator Heinz said to us that he does not believe that the Canadian industry is subsidized .. and he thinks Canada is trading in a fair-minded way." "What we are saying to him is that Canada is a free trader. We are not the problem, therefore, we are not part of the solution. The problem is the lack of competitiveness of the U.S. industry."

The report, released last week, urges the councils of North York and Scar- borough to lobby the pro- vmce to fund the first phase of the Sheppard subway. The cost of extending the Slate subway to Shep- pard aPpard and tiling it east to Victoria Park is about $500 Finishing the line to the Scarborough City Centre is riot planned until the end of the decade. The report was written jointly by Scarborough and North York transportation staff and is to be presented to the two cities' transpor- tation committees at a joint meeting on March 10 in North York. This will be the third such meeting held to discuss mutual concerns re the Sheppard line. The population boors in Metro's outlying areas wW increase instead of reduc- ing the pressure on Metro's transportation system says the report. It also points out that 2S% of Metro's employment growth is go - mg to take place in the North York and Scar- borough city centres.

The Sheppard subway will upgrade service in the most heavily travelled cor- ridor -100,000 persons cross the North York/Scar- borough and dailay Shep- pard� The report is critical of those municipalities which have objected to the Shep- pard subway. To date, Durham, Peel and Mississauga have filed of- ficial objections to the Minister of Municipal Af- fairs asking him not to ap- prove an amendment to in- clude the Sheppard subway in Metro's Official Plan. $83,140 Grant To Francophones The Francophone Com- mittee of the Ontario Social Development Council OSDC ) will receive an $83,140 citizenship develop- ment grant to help develop a training program for Francophone volunteers across Ontaio. Lily Munro, Minister of Citizenship and Culture said this grant is breaking new ground by making government a catalyst, en- couraging partnerships between government and social, cultural and com- munity organizations across the province. "By implementing volunteer training and development programs, we can heighten community awareness and ensure the continued delivery of essential services and pro- grams to the francophone community," Mrs. Munro said. The OSDC has delivered successful volunteer leadership training pro- grams since 1982. Workshops included such topics as Board IStaff rela- tions, time management, program planning and evaluation, networking and fundraising. The three are afraid that if the province funds the Sheppard subway it will not have the funds to build lines within their borders. Peel and Mississauga want a bus right-of-way on Eglinton through their municipalities while Durham wants Highway 407 built rust. new drop-in centre. Boundless Adventures is a group which offers wilderness outings for clients from various com- munity programs. The funding will be used to provide five-day winter outings such as cross- country skiing, ice fishing, and snowshoeing for about 40 clients at a camp in the Ottawa Valley, and five- day summer outings at the same camp, which will in- clude whitewater canoeing, rock climbing and horseback riding for about 100 clients. The community Rehabilitation Services Metro East program• operated by a non-profit group. Community Resources Consultants of Toronto, will receive addi- tional annual funding of $275,000 and one-time capital funding of $14,178. The funding will be used to hire six additional com- munity rehabilitation workers who will provide assessment, counselling and referral services to psychiatric patients from Whitby Psychiatric Hospital, Scarborough Centenary Hospital, Scar- borough General Hospital. North York General Hospital and Scarborough Grace Hospital. One additional secretary will also be hired for the program. There are cur- rently seven full-time and two part-time staff in the program commissioner who increas- ed rents in a 49 -unit building at 833 Kennedy Rd. by 30%. The rent increase is retroactive to Jan. 1, 1986 and will mean an average of about $1,000 per unit. The landlord, Joel Vale, has ap- plied for an additional 14% increase for 1967. The 30% rent increase sought by Vale was to pay for a security system for the building. The tenants were not consulted about whether the system was needed or whether there were other priorities. David Warner, M.P.P. for the area, said that Fhapis there were some mprov ementss to the building for which the tenants would willingly pay additional rent but they were not given the oppor- tunity. "What they got for their 30% increase is the gmn- diose security system they did not want in the fust place." The Appeal Board deci- sion is a signal to landlords that they can do anything they want and get away with it," Warner said in an interview. In awarding the 30% rent increase to Vale in September, rent review commissioner Karol Wr onecki told the tenants that they could move out if they were not pkesed with the way the building was run. There is nothing in the recently passed Bill 51 to force lanmords to discuss with tenants possible renovations. "It's a real weakness in the law," said Warner of the new kgisla- tion.

The redevelopment plant also includes the expansion of community mental health programs and psychiatric beds and pro- grams to general hospitals. "This type of integrated. area -wide mental health system has never before been attempted on such a large scale in Ontario... Mr. Elston said. "This unique plan reflects state-of-the-art concepts put forth by leading experts in psychiatric care. I am con- fident it will signal the direction Ontario's mental bealth policy will take in other regions." he added. The redevelopment plan will be phased in over the next seven to 10 years. Plan; include the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital being completely rebuilt as a 3M43ed regional res--wCe centre for those who cannot be treated in the local com- munity, and the psychiatric unit at Sun- nybrook Medical Centre upgraded at an estimated capital cost of $5.4 million. Markham-Stouffville Hospital will get 35 psychiatric beds at an estimated cost of $4.7 million and general hospitals in the Durham Region will get an addi- tional 35 psychiatric beds at an estimated cost of $4.7 million Community-based men- tal health programs in the provincial hospital's catch- ment area will be enhanced and expanded. Speaking To You rt .r Stott Fennel M.P. Ontario Riding Last weer I had the opportunity to speak in the House of Commons on a topic that I consider to be most important. The debate was on the request for concurrence by Parlia- ment of the first Report of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts. I was appointed Vice -Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee in 1984, but I had to resign this position once I was appointed Chief Government Wbip. However, I had been a member of this committee since I was sworn in as a Member of Parliament, seven years ago. I obviously have a very keen interest in this committee and therefore, I was very pleased to be able to give my views. The Public Accounts committee reviews the Auditor General's report which is published yearly; this depart- ment is often called the "watchdog„ of Government expen- diture. This Government has received very positive reports from the Auditor General, however, there is always room for review and improvement, particularly as we have to correct the excessive spending of the previous administra- tion. This debate centered around tax remission orders, in par- ticular, the $400 million dollar tax remission granted to the Hudson's Bay Oil and Gas Company; a subsidiary of Dom Petroleum Limited. In this case, the problem had been created by the invention of the National Energy Program by the Liberal Government. I was a member of the Energy ....................::vim:: -- '�:;:• Report from Queen's Park By George Ashe, MPP Durham West AUTO INSURANCE - SMALL STEP! The Minister of Financial Instiftibons has finally ordered the Facility Association to reduce costs for the province's drivers who are charged extra high car insurance rates. The Facility Association was established by the Com- pulsory Automobile Insurance Act to provide coverage for those consumers whom insurance companies have tradi- tionally regarded as uninsurable risks. Because drivers receiving coverage usually have a record of significant Highway Traffic Act or driving - related Criminal Code Convictions, the insurance rates Charged by the association are high. But the current in- surance crisis has resulted in many drivers being referred to the Facility Association when they should have been in- sured by the private market. In many cases, these drivers were not aware they were being charged the higher rates. To reduce costs to consumers, insurance brokers have agreed to cap their commissions at $150. Previously, brokers' commissions were based on a flat percentage, sometimes as much as $1,000. Some drivers have been in- advertestly referred to the Facility Association by their in- surance broker. To prevent this, an insurance agent must represent at least one insurance company and not just the Facility Association. Also, all drivers must be informed when they are covered by the association. Levies will be increased for insurance companies that re- ly on the association to handle hard -to insure drivers. The association has agreed to withdraw+ its application for premium rate increases and will continue to operate at a loss, with subsidies by participating iosui ance - . . In my capacity as critic for financial institutwas, I ques- tioned whether only 1.3% of private drivers are insured by the Facility Association as indicated by the Minister. From the calls received at my constituency office, l believe more than 1.3% of Ontario drives are now paying higher rates to the association. Most Ontario drives need a well deserved break on in- su sane fee:. It bas taken over a year for the Minister to make this small step. We urge the Minister to take further action to bring insurance rates under control. What about a rate approval tribunal where companies would justify pro- pos F I ro- posed rate increases' Legislation committee which reviewed all of this legisla- tion, and saw the damage that it would do to oil companies. Dare was one of the many companies which suffered as a result of the National Energy Program. by encouraging the company to buy something it could not afford Now, all Canadians have to pay for this. The Auditor General's report stated that there should be more Parliamentary control over tax renisswms of this type. and I support this view. In effect, we were discussing the necessity of tax reform. I have always been a strong supporter of tax reform; I feel that it has been needed for many years. The previous administration manipulated the- tax hetax laws to suit its political needs, but this Government is bringing in tax reform. We are doing it with thorough thought and by looking at the consequences of all the past tax legislation. We do not want to make the same mistakes that have been made in the past. Tax reform for the sake of tax reform is not enough. Tax reform is only suitable when it is successful, and it suits the needs of all Canadians. On Thurs. Feb. 12th, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Hon. Don Mazankowski, tabled a motion in the House of Com- mons on the subject of capital punishment. Since I have been in Parliament I have received many letters and telephone calls from constituents requesting the reinstate- ment of capital punishment. I wasn't the only Member of Parliament who received representation of this type; many of my colleagues on both sides of the House of Commons did as well. Because of the ove Mielming concern raised by many Canadians, this Government has listened and, as pro- mised, introduced this motion in Parliament. This is a very difficult and emotional topic and should be approached in a very thoughtful and reasonable manner. The Government is giving the public ample time to write to their Members of Parliament and advise them of their views. A special committee of 15 members will be formed and hearings will be held to receive opinions from in- terested parties. The committee will then be required to present its report in Parliament, providing recornme nda- tiors on the following: a) which offence or offences should carry the death penalty, and in what circumstances; b) which method or methods should be used to carry out the Penalty of death, and in what circumstances; Debate on this motion will follow the presentation of the committee report in the House of Commons, and thereafter a free vote will be held allowing Members of Parliament to vote as their constituents have indicated. I have given my commitment to the people I represent who, through three surveys, have indicated to me very strongly their desire for the restoration of capital punishment. One case in particular, is the major reason for my stance on capital punishment, and that is I had a meeting with a Young policeman in 1979, and he explained to me the reasons why he was frightened to go to work. Two months later, I went to his funeral. His fears had come true, as he had died for the same reasons which he had explained to me. I have heard the arguments both for and against capital punishment, and as the majority of people who elected me are in favour of capital punishment, I will support your views at that time. I
