Answers From The Library
Question:
Did Cupid shoot more than one type of arrow? J. W.
Answer:
Cupid had two types of arrows. The first were golden. Ac-
cording to legend, someone shot with one of these arrows
would fall in love. The other set of arrows were lead and
caused fear and repulsion.
Cupid is the god of love in Roman mythology. His greek
counterpart is Eros. Although early works of art show him
as a young boy or a youth, Cupid is often depicted as a
cherubic baby boy with an innocent face. His wings repre-
sent love's fleeting nature.
The rose is an appropriate symbol of the mischievous
nature of Cupid Eros. The sweet-smelling rose has sharp
thorns just as Cupid's ability to inspire love is offset by his
use of lead arrows. The poet Ovid gives an example of this
in his work Metamorphoses. Apollo, the Greek god of ar-
chery among other things, had teased Cupid about carrying
a weapon more suitable for a man. Cupid wounded his
tormentor with a gold arrow, causing him to fall in love
with the nymph Daphne. Cupid then shot Daphne with a
leaden arrow, and she refused her suitor's affections.
Apollo would not relent. Daphne finally asked her father for
help, and he transformed her into a laurel tree. Apollo
declared that the tree should always be green and took
laurel leaves as a sacred symbol.

Freedom Of Expression
by Bob Watson
Freedom of expression and freedom of the press are be-
ing put on the chopping block by Finance Minister Michael
Wilson with his Goods and Services Tax (GST), and we
believe it is time for all Canadians to rise up in anger and
fight for freedom from oppression by our ridiculous federal
government.
Can you imagine a 9% GST tax on every newspaper sold?
Think of the bookkeeping for just 30 cents for this
newspaper! Every classified ad worth $7 will result in
another tax bite - and all of this means massive bookkeep-
ing for each and every newspaper in the country.
Not every Canadian realizes that since Canada was form-
ed in 1867 newspapers have been exempt from sales taxes
because of the principle of "freedom of the press". No
government is supposed to have any control over the press
in order to preserve - freedom of expression via the press!
But Michael Wilson and his irresponsible bass, Brian
Mulroney, have decided to suppress the press - and the book
publishing business and all will get the outrageously high
cost of collecting this ridiculous GST tax.
It wouldn't be too bad if the PC government had moved
the 13.5% manufacturing sales tax to the retail level and
still only taxed items which were manufactured in this
country. But this expensive tax will be applied to
everything - health bills. your electric uses, your bank ac-
counts - in fact. everything that moves!
The cost of collecting this GST tax and remitting it to the
government will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to
private enterprise, which will have to put that cost on the
price of products or services. This ends up adding to infla-
tion'
Mr. Wilson and his Brian Mulroney buddy are also to be
nice to the poor ( under $40.000 a year families) . They are
going to hire thousands more civil servants so that cheques
can be written out and sent out to counteract the cost to the
poor' Another big and inefficient cost to running our federal
government! And this finance minister, Michael Wilson.
has been giving us budgets for some time now which spend
some SM billion more each year than what the government
takes in.
.No. the answer is that we must all pay more in taxes to
reduce the national debt - and we don't mean just the cur-
rent yearly debt - we mean the over $300 billion owing from
previous administrations!
So let us collect taxes which are fau to all and have the
least impact an the market place. We are talking about in-
come taxes. Toronto Liberal MP Dennis Mills is advocating
a 25% income tax with no exemptions which will handle the
deficit each year and begin the bag job of wiping off the
debt of the past. The 25% income tax would require no more
private enterprise costs and would not need any more civil
servants at Ottawa. The secondary line of attack is to
reduce all government serines which are unnecessary
such as multicultural grants by the millions to orgamza-
tions which are quite capable of funding their own projects.
We all know we must pay more to wipe out the deficit at
Ottawa but for goodness sake let's be sensible about how we
do it. And remember freedom of the press is essential if we
don't want to join the communist world'

Hvdro's Purchases Of Materials and Services
Major contracts awarded by Ontario Hydro for the month
of July totalled over $15 million. The largest contract, worth
almost $4 million, went to Microtel limited in Markham for
the purchase of a microwave radio system. The network
will be used to incorporate the new Clarkson System Con-
trol Centre in Mississauga into Hydro's southern Ontario
microwave system. The station to station microwave com-
munication system is needed for the daily operation of the
power system.
The second largest purchase was for aluminum conduc-
tor, to be used in the transmission of power throughout the
province. The conductor, worth $3.7 million, will be provid-
ed by Willowdale's Alcan Wire & Cable.
On The Road
Have you ever noticed other drivers and how they react to
driving? Recently we noticed a woman driving a nice new
car with a little blonde child in the front right sat and a red
haired youngster in the back. The mother didn't take off
right away at intersections with the light because she was
fussing with the blonde child. She didn't put her indicator on
for a left turn because of her concentration on this same
child. We know that many mothers who are working and
handling a couple of children have many things on their
minds, but when driving a car concentration on the road is
very important - both to them as well as others!

Attention Mulroney
Earlier this fall, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney made na-
tional headlines with a comment that Canadian education
was failing to keep pace with technological needs. That pro-
mpted Jim Head, president of the 40,000 member Ontario
Secondary School Teachers' Federation, to respond on
behalf of teachers across the country.
These were his comments to the prime minister.
Dear Prime Minister:
Your recent condemnation of Canadian education, widely
quoted in the media, both hurt and confused many of our
members at a time of year when they would like to re-enter
the classroom with a sense of purpose and renewed en-
thusiasm.
As the president of the Ontario Secondary School
Teachers' Federation, which represents 40,000 members, I
also found your remarks confusing.
1. Your government fervently supports increased immigra-
tion. Yet, by reducing transfer payments to the provinces,
you make it more difficult to provide extra funding for bad-
ly needed English -as -a -second -language resources and
teachers.
2. You speak of the need to encourage technology in
Canada. Yet it was an earlier Conservative government
which axed the Avro-Arrow space program 30 years ago
and made this country a bystander in electronics.
3. You speak of the need for more research in this country.
Yet I note that Northern Telecom is moving to Texas
because of your government's free trade policies.
4. You speak about the importance of education. Yet the
proposed 9% national sales tax will have a significant
negative effect upon education through extra hidden costs
which parents and students will have to bear. Hardest hit
will be single parents and their children.
5. A federal government which seriously believed in en-
couraging the highest possible standards would help
establish a Canadian equivalent of the Massachusetts In-
stitute of Technology ( MIT) in each province.
6. How often have you taken the time to visit schools like
Marc Garneau Secondary School in Metropolitan Toronto
( East York) which is named for our well-known Canadian
astronaut and which encourages student interest in space
technology? I could point out scores of similar examples of
excellence throughout this entire province.
Your remarks, sir, sound like a smoke screen for a move
to cut back on public funding for education while moving
towards privatization of the education system, following
Margaret Thatcher's lead.
Surely, students and parents across this country deserve
better than that.
Yours truly.
Jim Bead, President,
Ontario Secondary• School
Teachers' Federation

Wounded In Action
A special study by Statistics Canada in cooperation with
worker compensation boards across Canada looked at on
the job injuries which were serious enough to involve com-
pensation and time off. Here are some highlights from the
study. covering the years 1982 to 1986.
Highest rates of serious wort injuries occurred in the
forestry, construction and manufacturing industries.
Forestry and logging caused the most injuries for male
workers: machining and processing operations caused the
most injuries for females.
For men in forestry and logging operations, the rate of in-
jury was 198 for each 1,000 male workers. For women, there
was an injury rate of 113 per 1,000 females in machining and
107 per 1,000 in processing operations.
The back and the hands were the most frequently injured
parts of the body in all the accidents studied.
On average, 54 workers out of every 1,000 were injured
each year. Men were more than three times as likely as
women to be injured on the job (77 males per 1,000 workers
against 23 females per 1,000) .
Highest rate of these work injuries occurred among
young males age 20 to 24, at an average of 102 injuries per
1,000 workers each year.
Work injuries among male workers declined substantial-
ly with age. 'here was no similar decline for female
workers.
The single most frequent source of injury in all incidents
studied involved the working surface - floors, steps, ramps,
sidewalks, the ground or a roof.

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON STAGE:
Ever since we began this
column of review of the
leisure arts, we have in-
sisted that we are a
reviewer, not a critic. Our
function is to report on arts
and entertainment in such
a way that our readers
might more easily and ac-
curately determine the
disposition of their leisure
time and disposable
dollars. With that as
preamble, let us address
The Phantom of the Opera.
Through the considera-
tion of the Cineplex Odeon
:live Entertainment Divi-
sion, we were able to delay
our attendance at the
Toronto production in the
splendidly restored Pan-
tages Theatre until last
Saturday evening after
much of the initial hoopla,
for want of a better term,
had diminished.
What will you see, hear
and experience with The
Phantom? Quite simply. an
evening of theatre that you
will recall and treasure for
the rest of your life: the
kind of theatre not really
seen since the glory days at
the turn of the century.
You will see a scene from
a full scale opera presented
as comic value in the plot
development. you will see
a boat being propelled
across a mist enshrouded
lake below the opera
house: you will see a
magnificent shattered
chandelier reassembled on
stage and flown to the roof
of The Pantages only to fall
and shatter again: you will
see The Phantom appear-
ing out of seeming nowhere
over the proscenium arch,
from behind a roof top
statue, from a graveyard
wall .. You'll see all of that
and a score more of special
effects.
You will hear fine singing
by the entire cast but par-
ticularly Byron Nease as
the romantic lead, Rhonda
Liss as an enigmatic ballet
mistress, Donna Rubin as
her spritely daughter and
Paul Massel in his role of
impressario.
You'll hear superb sing-
ing by Rebecca Caine, the
ingenue and Lyse Gu6rin
as a comic diva.
You will hear magnifi-
cent singing by Colm
Wilkinson as The Phantom.
The gentleman can hit
and sustain high notes that
recall those of Gigli and
present them with the in-
tensity of a Leonard War-
ren. It would probably be
overblown to suggest that
his singing voice is the best
legitimate theatre one of
the century but we suggest
it is the best to come along
since that of the much
under rated Harve
Presnell.
The score while. in the
manner of Andrew Lloyd
Webber• not notably filled
with melody is lush and the
orchestra does full justice
to the orchestrations of Mr.
Webber and David Cullen.
The always reliable
direction of Harold Prince
is in abundant evidence
and we can thirds of no
higher praise.
�i
�# Around and About
Your Dining &Entertainment Guide
As always, we rail
against the constraint of
available space and our in-
ability to mention each
;member of the cast and
production crew; perhaps
it will suffice that we could
not see anywhere that im-
provement is necessary or
even possible.
How can we conclude?
How can we best sum up
the power of this produc-
tion: a production that can,
should, must be seen again
and yet again?
Well, we ask you to hum
in your mind's ear, the
opening phrases of Music
of the Night. Do you feel
that it is more familiar
than would seem to be the
case for a show written just
a few years ago' Hum it
again. Now hum it just a bit
faster. Now, you've got it!
You've realized that Mr.
Webber has borrowed, pro-
bably unconsciously, the
melody of Gus Edwards'
School Days. Now, recall
one of the phrases: Dear
Old Golden Rule Days.
Mr. Webber has now
firmly established himself
as the Golden Ruler of
Theatre.
The Pantages which
houses this Phantom of the
Opera is a golden theatre.
AT THE OPERA:
It seemed all of a piece
that we should see the
Canadian Opera
Company's production of
Verdi's Un Ballo in
Maschera at The O'Keefe
in the same week as The
Phantom even though the
only obvious comparison
between the two works is
the importance of masks to
the plot development.
We're glad that we saw it
before Mons. P. rather
than after because truly,
anything else pales, much
in the manner of coming in-
to daylight after a matin6e
performance.
That's unfortunate
because the C.O.C.'s Un
Ballo is quite a lavish pro-
duction itself though admit-
tedly, that should not be
one's only criterion of
worth. The singing and ac-
ting are what carats and
using them as bench
marks. Un Ballo is suc-
cessful with this lesser of
Verdi's works.
Allow us a slight digres-
sion in pointing out that the
casting of this production is
another example of the fact
that tradition over talent
has always been traditional
in the world of opera.
Gustavus, the King of
Sweden, is played by the
Japanese tenor Taro
Ichihara making his com-
pany debut. We hope he
will return many times. His
voice is best described as
rich and mellow. One sup-
poses it is capable of
sweetness but the king's
role does not demand it. It
demands authority and
gets it from Mr. Ishihara.
Black soprano Leona
Mitchell returns after her
triumphant Aida in 1996 to
play his amour. Her's is a
majestic presence that
none the less can bespeak
the confusion of a woman
torn between love and
loyalty. Even so, her voice
is such that she could lend
authority to the role were
she merely to sing it in
recital.
Hungarian baritone La -
jos Miller (we suspect
Miller is Melanchuk) plays
the role of Anckarstroem,
the king's confidante and
husband of the king's illicit
love. An on stage an-
nouncement before the
third act advised that Mr.
Miller was suffering a
throat problem but it was
undetectable to our ear. We
thought his singing and ac-
ting just fine. The
gentleman must set
himself a high standard in-
deed.
The role of Oscar. the
page is played by Black
soprano Harolyn Blackwell
who is quite a scene stealer

and audience winner with
her air of cheeky insou-
ciance. She is a dainty little
thing with a voice of
authority and a presence
that attracts.
Now then, the role of
Madame Arvidson, ]a
negresse, is played by the
English contralto Muala
Willis. Regular readers
will be aware of our love of
contraltos and the love af-
fair continues after hearing
Miss Willis.
Among the many com-
pany debuts in this produc-
tion were those of John
Greer as chorus master
and John More as conduc-
tor. Both were successful in
_their tasks.
And, Un Ballo in
Maschera is also suc-
cessful, even in tandem
with The Phantom.
DINNER THEATRE:
Meanwhile, the reliable
Limelight Dinner Theatre
is celebrating the silver
jubilee of Hello Dolly with a
solid gold production.
The sets are truly elegant
and Director Adolf Toman
has had the lap stage ex-
tended to surround the "or-
chestra seating". The
result is that the per-
formers strut right out into
the audience during the
production numbers.
And yes, Dolly makes her
famous second act en-
trance down a staircase -
the same one that the au-
dience uses -and through a
line of uniformed waiters.
Stunningly simplistic and
simply stuaning.
None Griffin is Dolly
and she plays her with
rather more class than the
role usually receives.
There's even a touch of an
English accent. Her voice
is not strong but it's true
and in the dance numbers
she swings -as P.G.
Wodebouse might have
said -a dashed efficient foot.
William Lyn plays
Vandergelder (one
wonders how many
recogtn.ze the humour in
the name), the reluctant
target of Dolly's marital
manipulation with suitable
bluster. If one has a dinscer-
ning ear, his rine singing
voice stands out in the
choral numbers.
Debora Joy is enchanting
as Mrs. Molloy, the
milliner though her singing
voice is frequently so sharp
as to be almost off key.
Jonathan Whittaker is
Hackl, her beau and sings
even better than he acts.
That's not damning with
faint praise.
Young Mark Bellamy,
five o'clock shadow and all,
dances well as the juvenile
lead and is nicely counter-
pointed by the gamin, Liz
Gilroy.
The orchestra under the
direction of Robert Ashley
is just right and is well
served by Sound Techni-
cian Rob St. Germain.
Being so close to the au-
dience, the costumes have
to be more than simply pro-
ducts of stage craft and in-
deed they are. The
materials in the gowns are
sumptuous, the styling im-
peccable and the over all -
poor choice of words -effect,
stunning.
We most certainly
recommend this
pleasurable production of
Hello Dolly!

all begins for a promising
swimming hopeful.

the competitive skills, in-
crease the stamina of all
swimmers and prepare

this group eager to pro-
mote the top talent to the

Barbados Arts Scene
Has Plenty To Offer
Much more than a Carib-
bean get -away, Barbados
is the centre of a
flourishing arts scene
which offers visitors a
cultural escape.
Many local dance perfor-
mances, plays, concerts
and annual festivals aren't
traditional stops along the
sightseeing trail, but
travellers who do venture
along these paths are cer-
tain to gain an insightful
loot into Bajan culture.
For its size, Barbados hosts
a surprising number of ar-
tists, and avenues for Ba-
jan artistic expression are
even more numerous. And
in fact, music, drama and
dance events, and cultural
festivals are plentiful
throughout the island's
yearly calendar of events.
The National In-
dependence Festival of
Creative Arts ( ti IFCA) . a
month-long celebration in
November. marks the
country's independence.
Bajans of all ages match
talents in music, drama,
dance and literary com-
petition A visual arts and
handicraft exhibition is
also featured. The festival
culminates on In-
dependence :dight with a
gala night at Flank Col-
lymore Hall, the main cen-
tre for organized entertain-
ment on the island.
City bights offers a
series of performances by
local artists in the areas of
classical, jazz, calypso,
gospel and folk music,
drama and dance. The
series, now in its fourth
year, mris from Nov. 23-26
and Dec. 1-3 and provides
first class entertainment
for the whole family.
Folk and popular theatre
using Bajan material has
become quite popular with
both locals and visitors,
while the dinner theatre
scene is more appealing to
travellers who thoroughly
enjoy the unique combina-
tion of culture, comedy and
exceptional cuisine these
venues offer.
The colourful folk dance
drama "1627 and all that"
presents an entertaining
look at Bajan history,
costume and tradition
while the equally popular
"Barbados. Barbados" ex-
plores the customs and
habits of the Barbadian
people through a hilarious
"audience participation"
twist.
Barbados is an ideal
place to collect unique
crafts and wares. hand
designed by the island's
talented artisans. In Tem-
ple Yard in Bridgetown a
wide variety of gifts made
frombamboo, wire,
coconut husks. shells, clay
and leather can be found.
The nearby Pelican village
features exquisite bouti-
ques. galleries and curio
shops while Chalky Mount
in St. Andrew is home to
the island's renowned clay
potters.
And any traveller to the
island cannot miss
"Walker's World" when
Jill Walker's famous land-
scape prints are displayed.
Casa Loma Celebrates Its 75th. Anniversary
One of Toronto's most
visually spectacular tourist
attractions is celebrating
its 75th anniversary this
year. Quite a milestone for
Canada's only authentic
castle.
Seventy-five years ago.
Canadian financier and
Royalist, Sir Henry Mill
Pellatt, dreamed of •
building a home that would
combine tradition,
grandeur. romance. and
technology on a totally
lavish scale. He realized
his dream in the construc-
tion of Casa Loma - "the
castle on the hill".
Construction on Casa
Loma began in 1911, and by
the time the castle was
completed in 1914. Pellatt's
lavish home had cost him
well over $4 million.
One architectural critic
of that time described it as
a mixture of "17th century
Scotch baronial and 20th
Century Fox". Pellatt liked
to thunk that his 96 room
dwelling embodied the best
of a magnificent castle on
the Rhine and a
millionaire's home in

Casa Loma contained 96
[rooms, 3 bowling alleys, 30
bathrooms ( some with
gold-plated fixtures),
telephones, a kitchen stove
large enough to cook a
whole steer and 3,000 elec-
tric lights. It was then the
only castle in the world that
could boast an electrically
operated elevator and an
indoor swimming pool -
Not long after the Pellatt
family moved into their
palatial surroundings, Sir
Henry was confronted with
major financial dif-
ficulties. Despite all of his
accumulated wealth, Casa
Loma's creator could not
prevent his empire's finan-
cial demise. This was to
cause him forfeiture of his
million dollar home to the
City of Toronto in 19¢4.
In 1936, the Kiwanis Club
of West Toronto began
renovating Casa Loma in
order to operate it as a
tourist attraction. Since
that time, it has remained
the flagship fundraising
enterprise of this social
service advocacy group,
with proceeds from the
public use of Casa Iona
going to a multitude of
charitable organizations in
Toronto.
Casa Loma is currently
undergoing a multimillion
dollar renovation program.
The renovations are part of
a comprehensive plan to
restore the 86,500 square
foot castle to its former
glory -
Scheduled to be com-
pleted in 1998, the ten year
pian includes maintenance
and upgrading in the areas
of roofing, electrical,
mechanical, exterior stone
and brick work, the kit-
chen, fin safety system,
the swimming pool, the
stables and the castle's pot-
ting
armed.
To complement these
renovations, the Garden
Club of Toronto undertook
a similarily challenging
project. In 1987, at a cost in
excess of $1 million, this
Toronto charitable
organization initiated a
plan aimed at redeveloping
the six acres of grounds
surrounding Casa Loma.
Since then, significant
improvements have been
made. Visitors will ap-
preciate the beautification
and landscape artistry
which have noticeably
enhanced the castle's up-
per and lower terrace and
all of its surrounding
gra.
Four hundred thousand
tourists now pass through
Casa Loma annually. Many
formal weddings, recep-
tions and dances are held
at the castle, and in recent
years, it has been used as a
location for many Toronto
film shoots.
It costs over $60,000 to
operate Casa Loma. Casa
Loma employs a staff of 50
who assist in its daily ac-
tivities and operations
under the watchful eye of
Howard Muchnick, the cas-
tle's general manager.
Casa Loma is open seven
days a week from 10 a.m. to
4 p.m. It is situated at
Davenport and Spadina
and is accessible by the Du-
pont subway station. Ad-
mission to the castle is $6
for adults. $3 for children
and seniors; children
soder 7 years old are ad-
mitted free.

Accounting Profession Needs Change
The accounting profes-
sion is in need of an
overhaul.
That was the thrust of a
news item announcing the
release of a discussion
paper by the Certified
General Accountants'
Association of Canada on
the future Canadian ac-
counting profession in a
globalized economy.
For many readers and
listeners of this news story,
the impact of the statement
probably didn't warrant a
second thought. After all an
accountant is an accoun-
tant is an accountant.
Right? Well not quite.
There are three different
types of accountants in
Canada: Chartered Ac-
countants (CAs ), Certified
General Accountants
4 CGAs) and Certified
Management Accountants
( CMAs) . Restrictions in
some provinces prevent all
accountants from being
equal even though all ac-
countants receive their
designations from self-
regulating professional
bodies with equal and very
high standards of educa-
tion.
And this is where the
CGA -Canada task force
report comes in. It is exact-
ly these restrictions - or in-
terprovincial barriers to
mobility - that hamper
Canadian business from
being competitive in a
world economy that is in-
creasingly dependent upon
the free flow of goods and
services.
These internal barriers
are just the least bit ironic
in the age of Canada's free
trade with the United
States and the creation of a
single European market by
the end of 1992.
In some provinces -
namely Ontario and
Quebec - restrictions re-
main that prevent all ac-
countants from providing
full auditing services. Com-
petition between accoun-
ting services is in the
public's long term interest.
Another area that goes
against the public's in-
terest is the setting of ac-
counting standards - the bi-
ble by which accountants
operate.
These are set by one
group, the Canadian In-
stitute of Chartered Ac-
countants. In other parts of
the world - even in nations
with more than one accoun-
ting body - accounting stan-
dards are set by a combina-
tion of accountants, people
outside of the accounting
profession as well as users
of financial services.

Burnett, President of Bur-

sumac utilized the basic
skeletal structure of the
warehouse and added on to
it to accommodate the
specific needs of its major
retail tenants.
"The advantage of
recycling the existing
structure was most
noticeable in the huge floor
area that was available for
office tenants." says Mr.
Burnett. "We were able to
offer prospective tenants
up to 150,000 square feet of
space on one floor if they
wanted it."
While no single tenant
has committed to a whole
floor, Bur nac Leaseholds
has leased -out over 95 per-
cent of the office space
available a year ahead of
schedule. Office tenants in-

Pepsi Cola and other na-

The office space environ-
ment is enhanced through
the view into the atrium
and the natural light that
floods down the four
storeys to the shopping cen-

Mr. Burnett says that of-

Gras season. Our Garde Group practices from September
until May and performs throughout the year at Pickeuicng's
four German Club dances, visits various other Gennari
Clubs in Southern Ontario and performs locally, for in-
stance at Canada Day Celebration, etc.
At the end of the season, in April, the Garden take part in
a dance competition, usually held in Toronto, competing in
two main categories - the Garde Dance and a show dance of
the group's choice. The Garde Dance is a line formation
dance with high kicking, marching and precision
manoeuvring in typical garde costumes - high white boots,
short circular skirt, jacket and hat. Pickering's group has
done well in the competition in the past few years, and it is
the highlight of the year's hard work.
There are three Gardex decided by age. Ages range from
5 years to early 20's and are divided into Kinder, Junior and
Senior. Practices are on Monday evenings at Dunbarton
High School. The yearly cost is $30 per girl and this covers
all instruction, costumes and most travelling costs. If you
are interested in becoming a member of the dance group

Report
from Norah Stoner
MPP Durham West
Financial Institutions Minister Murray Elston recently
unveiled the new Ontario Motorist Protection Plan that will
be introduced in legislation this fall, with implementation
scheduled for 1990.
Higher insurance rates will be addressed through in-
surance product reform, and a series of initiatives dealing
with accident prevention and consumer protection that will
help stabilize the rates in years to come.
The many initiatives will involve the ministries of
Transportation, Consumer and Commercial Relations, the
Attorney General, the Solicitor General, Community and
Social Services, Health, and Financial Institutions.
Initatives will focus on safe driving and will include
greater OPP enforcement; increased fines for speeding
and other traffic offences; tough penalties for drunk
drivers; public education campaigns on seat -belt usage and
Report
from
Ottawa
from Rend Soetens
MP Ontario Riding
... ,.:�; ....
On Jan. 1st, 1991 the Goods and Services Tax is slated to
be implemented. While the government is steadfastly
prepared to keep its schedule, it is the job of the Standing
Committee on Finance to propose possible amendments to
the workings of the GST. As a member of the Finance Com-
mittee, I have the opportunity to meet with citizen groups,
organizations and individuals from across Canada who are
concerned with the impact of the GST on Canadians. Once
all the groups have been heard from, the Committee will
draft a report suggesting possible amendments to the GST,
constructed from the direct input of concerned Canadians.
After only two days of hearings, a large number of groups
have presented their recommendations to the Finance
Committee. On Sept. 19th, the committee heard from the
Canadian Federation of Independent Business, the Cana-
dian Restaurant and Foodservices Association, Conference
Board of Canada, National Council of Welfare, Peat Mar-
wick, Canadian Bar Association and the National Voluntary
Organizations. The Canadian Bankers' Association, the
Trust Companies Association of Canada, Canadian
Cooperative Credit Society, the Canadian Life and Health
Insurance Association and the Insurance Bureau of Canada
are just some of the groups who made presentations on
Sept. 20th.
Of the groups mentioned above, only the Canadian
Federation of Independent Business stood in total opposi-
tion to the GST. The remainder of the groups applauded the
government for having the fortitude to replace the outdated
Federal Sales Tax, regardless of the political conse-
quences. These groups have, however, made recommenda-
tions to the content of the GST. The suggestions have
generally been to broaden the tax base by ridding such tax
exempt items as basic groceries and eliminating the GST
credit to low and modest income Canadian. The combined
effect of these proposals would result in a lower GST
percentage rate.
Of cause the best place for me to receive input on the
GST is in Ontario Riding. On Wed. Sept. With, the Ontario
Riding Small Business Caucus held a seminar on the GST in
Ajax. Tom Hockin, Minister of State for Small &sines,
along with representatives from the Department of
Finance were on hand to answer any questions. I am confi-
dent that all those in attendance found the seminar infor-
mative and i assure them that their concern were
understood and will be brought forward at the drafting of
the Finance Committee's report.
My office has been receiving a flood of questionnaire
responses on both government spending and abortion. In
just three days I have received over 900 completed ques-
tionnaires. I am delighted by the response to what I believe
to be a valuable exercise in measuring the beliefs of the
residents of Ontario Riding.
"daytime rimming lights"; promotional efforts to en-
courage workplace driver safety.
The government's "ghost car" program to deter body
shop "ripoffs" will be expanded. The practice of "tied -
selling" ( making the sale of one insurance product can-
brigent an the sale of another) will be prohibited Monthly
billing will also be mandated as a consumer option -
insurance companies will have to give consumers a
nummu m 30 day notice of policy changes or cancellations.
Disclosure requirements will be expanded and insurers will
be required to establish anti -fraud programs.
A new Insurance Commission will be given strong in-
vestigative and enforcement powers to regulate rates,
mediate disputes and ensure that prompt and adequate
benefits are delivered
Guaranteed accident benefits will be available to all Io-
jured victims - whether "at fault" or not. ( People convicted
of drinking and driving offences, however, will not be eligi-
ble for incomue replacement.)
Compensation levels will be substantially higher, and, for
the first time, benefits will be provided to students, retirees
and the unemployed. Homemakers will receive improved
compensation in the new plan.
Insurance companies will be required to offer optional in-
surance for additional accident benefit protection. As well,
the right to sue will be maintained in cases of serious injury
where fault can be demonstrated.
Deterrence will be the key component of the new system.
Fault will continue to be used for rating purposes, and bad
driving will result in higher insurance premiums. Without
product reform, premium increases would have been 30-35
percent for most motorists when controls expire next year.
The new plan will hold premium increases to very
moderate levels in its first year of operation. The govern-
ment expects that premiums will rise by no more than eight
percent on average in urban areas, and average rates for
motorists in rural areas will not increase at all.
The Ministry of Financial Institutions has provided an in-
formation booklet on The Ontario Motorist Protection Plan
and you can pick up a copy at the Constituency Office or call

LOCAL UPDATE:
The P.A.C.T. Fashion Show that was held on Sept. 17th
was an outstanding success. It was a wonderfully entertain-
ing evening and my hearty congratulations to all the people
involved who worked so hard to make it a tremendous suc-
cess. Particularly Elaine Thiemann who did an outstanding
job. Over $13,000 was raised for P.A.C.T., indicating the
fabulous support they received. Congratulations again!
The Pickering Rotary Music Festival also held a fund
raising fashion show featuring elegant designs against a
back drop of DeBoer's beautiful new store in the -30 -

very beautiful evening!
