Real Estate
Statistics released by the
Oshawa dr District Real
Estate Board for the month
of May show that there are
many people continuing to
take advantage of the
lower prices and interest
rates.
"544 homes changed
hands in May, up by 79%
this May over last," says
Anne Briscoe, ODREB
President. "Once again,
our board's sales were
higher than previous years
- except for 1988."
The average price for a
home this month was
$158,102; close to last
month's average of
$158,202, and down from
last year's price of $172,238.
Affordability has in-
creased since April with a
further slight reduction of
almost 1% in short term
(under 1 year) interest
rates. However, long term
interest rates have remain-
ed virtually constant. In-
terest rates may have
reached bottom.

George
Martin
Voted I n
by Brenda Birinyi
George Martin, past
president of the Greenwood
Ratepayers' Association
was acclaimed last week
by Pickering Council to fill
the ward three regional
vacancy.
The seat became vacant
when Regional Councillor
Beverely Morgan passed
away in May.
The councillors listened
to 30 delegates, endorsing
their choice of candidates.
Aside from Martin, Ward 3
Local Councillor Rick
Johnson and past Ward 3
Regional candidate, Enrico
Pistntto were also vying
for the position.
If the vacancy went to
the candidate who had the
greatest support at the
nomination meeting, Rick
Johnson would have won
hands down.
Obviously aware of his
support in the council
chamber, Johnson passed a
note on to Councillor
Dickerson, asking him to
ask the people in the
gallery to raise their hands
to show their support for
Johnson.
However, before Mayor
Arthurs could Cute the mo-
tion out of order, when
Dickerson asked the ques-
txxk over half of the people
had their hands up.
Even though Johnson
and Pistritto had the most
support by the motes,
Martin had the overall sup-
port of ratepayers associa-
tions. Ian McCully retina --
ed early from a vacation in
the U.K. to show his sup-
port for Martin.
Dickerson speaking on
behalf of Councillor
Johnson, declared his can-
didate was the best
qualified.
Councillor Brenner
speaking on behalf of his
choice, Pistritto, claimed
be was not going to vote
tonight, but changed his
mind and supported
PMntto biased on his com-
mitment to the community.
When it was Councillor
Van Kempen's turn to ad-
vocate his support for Mar-
tin, he began by remarking
that Martin was not in at-

Board Staff to be Honoured
Two of the board's educa-

been designated by the
Durham Chapter of the

Children to receive awards
of recognition for their con-

addition, Superintendent of

Bill Fairbum is to receive
the Barbara Phair Award,
the council's highest

justments as a volunteer.
Van Kempen said that in
his opinion, this committee

portant committee, in
terms of decision making.
next to Pickering Council.
He continued to say that
Martin had served as a
Reeve for Pickering,
before it became a town
and served as a volunteer
for more than 2D years.
Van Kempen
underscored the fact that
Martin had put in writing
that he would not be a can-
didate in the November
municipal election and
therefore, if he did receive
the appointment this would
not give him an unfair ad-
vantage at election time.
Councillor Dickerson
nominated Rick Johnson,
Councillor Brenner
nominated Pistritto and
Councillor Van Kempen
nominated Martin.
Brenner's candidate lost
the first road of voting
and was dropped from the
ballot. The final vote was
taken and the appointment
went to George Martin,
with Mayor Arthuas, Kit-
chell, Brenner and Van
Kempen voting in favour of
Martin.
George Martin will be
sworn into office on Mon.

Sharing The Wealth
by Tom Mitchell
Redistribution of personal income is one of the aims of the
federal government system of taxation and transfer
payments to people.
Statistics Canada recently released figures on 1989 in-
come before and after tax and transfers. They can provide
a measure of the system's efficiency in this regard.
The income study divided the population into quintiles,
five sections ranging from the lowest one-fifth of all in-
comes to the highest one-fifth. Then it looked at how taxes
and transfer payments - programs such as family
allowance, old age pensions and unemployment insurance -
shifted the shares of income among these quintiles.
The study showed that, before any tax was assessed or
any transfer payments were made, the lowest one-fifth of
the population had just 1.2% of all the income and the
highest had 47.2%. After the transfer payments were added
in and taxation was taken into account, the lowest quintile's
share of the total income pie moved up to 5.6% and the top
quintile's share was trimmed to 40.7%. The second lowest
quintile moved from 8.7% before any tax -or -transfer ad-
justment to 11.6% afterward.
Since the tendency is toward equality when incomes at
the low end are increased and those at the high end are
reduced, the figures show that the system moved things in
the direction of income equality.
The changes made through taxes and transfers were
naturally largest at the upper and lower income extremes,
where the differences were greatest. At the exact middle
quintile, for example, the change was quite small, from
16.9% of the income pie before any taxes or transfers to
17.6% afterward.
Both the money transfers and taxation played their part
in the equalization process. In that lowest quintile where
the income share was just 1.2% based on income alone, ad-
ding in the transfers raised this share to 4.8%. After taxa-
tion was taken into account, it moved up another notch to
the 5.6% level mentioned earlier. Similarly, the top
quintile's share went from 47.2% down to 43.2% with
transfer payments in the picture and dropped the next step
down to 40.7% after income tax was applied.
Which of the two, income taxes and transfers, was more
important in terms of equalization'
The study. "Income after tax. distribntios by size in
Canada" (Catalogue 13210), looked at the tax-and4ransfer
record from 1971 to 19®. Over those 18 years, government
transfer payments played an increasingly more important
role in equalization, it said, and there was "little change in
the impact of income taxes in reducing income inepuality.'.
Another Example
Convicted paroled murderer Robert Collin has now been
accused in the murder of 47 year cid Francine Turcotte-
Bernard after she was held hostage in her apartment in
Laval. Quebec for 90 hours.
Chalk up another homicide that might have been
prevented if convicted murderers were kept behicd bars
with true life sentences without parole.
Convicted murderers sentenced to life imprisonment in
Australia's New South Wales state now stay in jail until
they die due to recent legislative changes there. In the
absence of Capital Punishment these true life sentences
need to be passed here also. Such true life sentences would
more adquately protect society from convicted murderers
and would more effectively deter others from committing
murder.

Criminal Sentences.
STATFACTS
Real property taxes are the single biggest source of
revenue that municipalities collect on their own, Statistics
Canada figures show. These taxes generated more than $17
billion for local government coffers across the country in
1990.
Men proved more likely than women to be cannabis

67th. Annual Meeting
Members of the 67th annual meeting of the United Church
of Canada's Toronto Conference, have criticized the federal
government's decision to sell automatic weapons abroad,
urged the provincial government to consolidate its various
farm stabilization programs and recommended that a pro-
gram of multi -faith education be included in the Ontario
public school curriculums.
The 600 delegates meeting in Markham's Centennial
Arena May 24 to 26, with the thneme, "I Call You Friends",
affumed their support for Canada's aboriginal peoples in
their struggle for land rights and self-government. Con-
ference members urged the federal government to include
members of the aboriginal communities in the proposed
royal commission on aboriginal issues. and the Conference
created a new task group on multiculturalism to raise the
profile of the ethnic arngregati tis within its membership
amongst the wider church.
Closer to home, Cahference members expressed concern
for aging church populations and dwindling financial
resources. The meeting asked that congregations make a
serious attempt to include teens and young adults in their
committees and on their church boards. For its part. the
Conference. agreed to reserve two spaces on each of its 22
standing committees and Conference executive for young
people under 25.
In recent years, the Conference's budget has been in-
creasing as its membership declines, causing an increase
in the per member assessment each congregation is re-
quired to pay to the Conference for its operation. In April
church members for Grey Presbytery. many of whose
members are fighting to save their farms, argued that they
cannot afford further increases. The Conference pared
$28,000 from the 1992 proposed budget, but still had to in-
crease the assessment rate by 26 cents per member over
1991 `s level.
The Conference also ordained 16 people as new United
Church ministers.
Concerned Citizens

We as concerned citizens attended the Re -Opening of

given to our Councillor Ron Moeser of Ward 9, who along
with Ken Morrish of Metro Council were the only two Scar-
boro elected officials who consistently wonted toward the
re -opening of No. 43 Police Station.

Standards For Calculus Exams
Ontario high schools are meeting provincial standards
for examinations in Calculus at the Ontario Academic
Course I OAC I level, Education Minister Marion Boyd has
announced.
"Teachers, principals, and school boards have worked
closely with my ministry to improve examinations in the
Calculus course,.. said Mrs. Boyd. 'Consistent standards of
evaluation across the province will assist universities in
selecting applicants from Ontario schools...
Mrs. Boyd released the document, Provincial Report
OAC Calculis Examination Review, which found that 91
percent of the 833 secondary schools surveyed in the 19WW
school year had designed OAC Calculus exams that
satisfied provincial criteria for examination format to a
high (41 percent) or moderate (50 percent) degree.
Resale Markets Up In April
Twenty-two out of twenty-five major resale markets en-
joyed buoyed home sales in April compared to the same
time frame a year earlier, says The Canadian Real Estate
Association (CREA ).
Residential MLS home sales climbed an average of 66.2
percent in the 25 metropolitan centres covered by CREA's
monthly survey based on sales processed through the Multi-
ple listing Service (MLS). This large percentage increase
was inflated by exceptional performances reported in the
Toronto and Vancouver markets.

Bill Watt's Worlds
AT THE OPERA:ONE
Though he lived his per-
sonal life as a small B.
bohemian, W.A. Mozart
was an undoubted Teuton.
His feelings! beliefs of
Teutonic superiority over
the Latinate are manifest
in all of his operas but
never more so than in Cosi
Fan Tutte a bounteous bon
bon about Latin emotions
and the testing of them.
Cosi Fan Tutte is the first
salvo in the Canadian
Opera Company's salute to
the Glory of Mozart being
observed this year. (How
we wish the media would
refer to it as an observation
instead of a celebration!
How can a death be
celebrated?)
It is being presented at
The Elgin and friends, this
is how an opera should be
seen and heard; in the in-
timate surroundings of
such a theatre. The sight
lines are excellent -even for
the surtitles except for a
few and identified
exceptions -and the
acoustics are joyful. Even
one of the master's
perceived lesser works
such as Cosi blossoms into
deserved majority here.
We make so bold as to
suggest that if all operas
were presented in such sur-
roundings. more people
would come to love this
wonderful art form.
The story line of Cosi Fan
Tutte ( All Women Are Like
That) is well known and
soon told. Two young
Spanish soldiers hectored
b5' an older cynic test the
affections of their fiaocbes
( two sisters) by disguising
themselves and courting
then. The cynic is aided in
his scheme by the maid of
the two sisters.
The plot is an obvious
pastille used many times
before and since. (Mdnar's
The Guardman and
Strauss' The Chocolate
Soldier) but it doesn't mat-
ter. It's all great fun
musically and, one sup-
poses• psychologically as
Mozart. the Teutm poises
musical fun at the intea+e
yet shallow emotions of the
Latins including those of
his librettist Lorenzo da
Ponte.
To be fair to the latter,
however, it should be
pointed out that, like those
of his 20th century counter-
part Lorenz Hart (a Ger-
man), his lyrics are more
cerebral than sentimental.
All the more to regale the
audience.
The two sisters are
played by soprano Joanne
Kolomyjec and mezzo-
soprano Louise Winter.
Physically, it should be the
former as the more aban-
doned of the two. She is
dark. almost vulpine in ap-
pearance .. the stereotype
Latin. Her voice however is
soprano and so she has
been assigned the songs of
repressed passion which
should be more properly
essaved by a mezzo.
Miss Kolomyjec does ex-
cellently well but her im-
pact is ever so slightly
diminished. Miss Winter,
on the other hand, looks
almost Scandinavian, sings
mezzo and is given the
songs delighting in the
freedom of love at what
ever cost. It's an in-
teresting cross over of
roles and Miss Winter is
most enjoyable. Still. one
can't help wonder what
might have been the im-
pact had the roles been
reversed.
Anthony Michaels -Moore
and Richard Craft are the
soldiers. Both are capable
of comedy -particularly in
their disguises as "Alba-
nians" but never lel their
senses of humour interfere
with the discipline of their
roles. They are more than
just. foils.
Mimi Lerner as the maid
Despina has the plum role
as she abets Den Alfonso in
has scheme by showing her
charges bow to be .. ah,
sexy. She strutsshe rolls
her eyes ( great audience
eye contact in The Elgin)
and makes each man in the
audience wonder why the
soldiers don't go after her.
Nice, nice performance.
As the cynic Doe Alfonso,
Federico Davia has the
kind of role every actor
dreams of having at some
time in his career. The role
calls for one to revel in the
follies of youth and the
weakness of the human
condition. And, it can be
served best only by a bass.
Mr. Davia is an excellent
bass but even were be not,

he would still triumph in
the role by his very
presence. It's not evil, not
wicked, just gleefully
cynical. One wishes it could
be captured on film.
Yakov Kreizberg coo -
ducted with obvious en-
thusiasm and director
Nikolaus Lehnhoff kept the
action moving with relative
briskness.
Cosi Fan Tutte-all
women are like that. But,
not all operas are as en-
joyable as Cosi Fan Tutte.
See it at The Elgin for max-
imum enjoyment.
AT THE OPERA: TWO
The Canadian Children's
Opera Chorus will present
Bastien and Bastienne this
Saturday and Sunday at the
Tanenbaum Opera Centre.
Another part of the Glory
of Mozart Festival, it is a
one act opera composed by
Mozart at the age of
twelve.
It seems to us that the
Sunday matinee perfor-
mance would be a nice
Father's Day gift. Better
burry for tickets however;
seating is limited.
DINNER THEATRE:
Father Francis Duffy.
chaplain of New York
City's famous Fighting 69th
was a worldly man and
quite a theatregoer- In tact.
it was he who enoolaaged
playwright Marc Connelly
with his then controversial
play Green Pastures.
One wonders, however,
what he might have
thought of Nunsense, the
new musical just arrived at
the Limelight Dinner
Theatre. We think he might
well have suggested retitl-
ing it with Cole Porter's
Anything Goes.
Here's the premise. Five
nuns are going to put on a
show to raise funds for the
decent burial of four nuns
presently being stored in a
freezer. They are the only
ones left unburied after a
disaster of some years
before in which 48 or so
others perished. ( Don't ask
in too many details.)
It's the thinnest of all
premises and yet, it works.
Nunsense is unques-
tionably irreverent, decide-
ly raunchy, determinedly -
well almost -frenetic and . .
funny as hell. Or, heaven as
the case might be.
You'll laugh at the funny
lines in spite of yourself
and even the most jaded of
entertainment seekers will
spark up at the awesome
talent of the five ladies on
stage -
They perform with ob-
vious pleasure. After years
of attending theatre and
having been a performer
ourself, we know that it's
easy to "put on a happy
face"; it's part of a per-
formers over all skill. But,
we can tell when per-
formers are genuinely en-
joying themselves and
these five most certainly
are.
They sing, dance and
crack wise in a manner so
infectious that one has to
overlook the possibly in-
herent tastelessness of
Nunsense.
The book, music and
lyrics of Dan Goggin are
gifts to any performer and
they are nicely wrapped up
by the orchestra under the
direction of Bruce Harvey,
one of the three best
musical directors in Toron-
to.
Direction and
choreography is by Dianne
Nyland Proctor and she
Dora Mavor Moore Awards June 17
The 1991 Dora Mavor
Moore Awards will be held
on Mon. June 17th at 8 p.m.
at the historic and roman-
tic Winter Garden Theatre,
directed by the award-
winning Kelly Robinson.
The Dora Awards are held
annually in honour of
outstanding achievement
during the previous Toron-
to theatre season.
Produced for the second
year in a row by Catherine
McKeehan, the Dora
Awards will celebrate the
artistic excellence of the
producers, director, ac-
tors, playwrights,
choreographers, musicians
and designers who con-
tributed to the 1990-91
season. In the past year
alone, Toronto Theatre
Alliance member com-
panies produced over 20
dramas, musicals, com-
edies and dance events
has well served the relative
confinement of the
Limelight stage. Dance
movements on it must be
quite precise -
Now, what about the
cast? Fact is, this is such
an ensemble production
that it's difficult if not im-
possible to single out any in
particular. Each and all
are bloody good.
Valerie Boyle as the
Mother Superior is cons-
tant with her brogue and
just as constant with her
restrained clowning. Her
bit with the supposed
amytol will have the tears
of laughter almost
reaching your knees. Think
about that one!
Then, there's Deanne
deGruijter, she of the sexy
eyebrows; Melissa
Graham with the sexiest
eyes this side of Glean
Close; Deborah Joy, all
wide eyed innocence and
Kim Scarrella of seeming
unlimited talent like her
fellow performers.
Nunsense features the
talented quintet in a
number of comedy sket-
ches with music and
damme if we can tell you
the best. We suggest,
though, that one of them is
Baking With The B.V.M.
(you figure what the in-
itials mean) as performed
by Sister Julie, Child of
God.
Only one number is
reprised and it beautifully
sums up Nuclease, the first
production of new Artistic
Director of The Limelight,
David Warrack.
The song is Nunsense is
Habit Forming. It most
certainly is. We intend to
return several times. You
will, too, believe us.

POP MUSIC:ONE
Still at Ontario Place,
here's something that
should interest many.
Every Thursday rsday from now
through July 25th there will
be afternoon tea dances for
seniors featuring Bobby
Herriot and the Imperial
Room Orchestra.
The dances will take
place in the Trillium Roan
from 12:30 till 2 p.m. and . .
admission is free.
The Trillium will serve a
special three carie lu n-
1. . to seniors for a most
reasonable cost which we
cannot quote here. Ta and
pastries will also be
available for those preferr-
ing Lighter fare. There is a
cash bar in the Trillium
Froom.
Sounds good to us. Danc-
ing in the afternoon,
champers, smoked salmon,
a few cocktails and then a
stroll through the grand
after.
POP MUSIC TWO:
We read that CHUM -FM
is Toronto's most listened
to radio statim ( doesn't
anyone say most beard
rather than listened to
anymore?). Most of our
radio listening is done in
the car and we tend to
listen to those stations
featuring classical music.
Lately, however, we've
got into the pleasant habit
of listening to the Sunday
Morning Oldies Show with
Roger Ashby. It is, for us,
an opportunity to catch up
with much of the music we
mussed when hell bent on
making a career in the
wrong profession.
It's a good show and we
recommend it to anyone
who hasn't beard it before.
Now, if only we could ask
Mr. Ashby to play Nelson
Riddle's Usbon Antigua . .
MUSIC AL FRESCO:
Nice to read about the
series of free lunch time
concerts in Nathan Phillips
square every Wednesday
through Oct. 9th. ( Keeping
or to fill in as umpires for

Members of the Scar-
borough con mumity are in-
vited to come out to cheer

nament will go to

Community Sports Notes
Badminton At Riverdale C. I.
All the results are now in
and Riverdale has proved
once again that it is the top
badminton school in the
province. Our teams have
had a remarkably suc-
cessful season against
local, provincial and inter-
national competition.
Last fall a visiting all-
star high school team from
Russia played some friend-
ly matches against some of
our top players and Jen-
nifer Yan, Lisa Chang, Chi -
Kien Ngo, Tommy Liu,
Jason Lin, Vince Jung,
Dennis Ng and Phillip
Cheung did not look out of
place against this top com-
petition.
Due to the popularity of
badminton at Riverdale,
we entered teams in three
separate leagues against
Toronto and East York
competition. The mixed
team under coach Bruce
Porter had a very suc-
cessful season against top
competition reaching the
semi finals.
Well done Ken Lem, Joe
Wong, Willy Cheung. Jim
Tran, Evan Diep, Ming
Chu, Albert Quan, Mei-
Ling Hung, Lily Ha. Sieu
Ling Kue, Cindy Lum,
Marilyn Su, Mary Vong,
Bob Wong and Genny Yip.
Our girl's team was in a
year of transition having
lost many top players to
graduation. Coach Shelly
Quin was able to inspire
our girls all season long
and after a single loss dur-
ing league play, they
achieved a remarkable se-
cond place finish at the
year end tournament at
Centennial College.
The team included Jen-
nifer Yan, Jessica Chan,
Helen Ha, Lisa Lei, Julia
Wong, Jie-Jing Huang,
Mae Tang, Rita Liang,
Shelley Chan, Lisa Chang,
Anna Liu, Thi Ho, Sonia
Wong, Judy Wong, Connie
Chow, Tina Yu and Shabob
Boparia.
The boy's team swept
through the season
undefeated and presented
manager June Ng and
Coach Doug Mabee with a
fourth consecutive City
Championship.
This convincing win was
achieved with only three
senior team members.
What a powerhouse!
The team included Jason
Liu, Oscar Chow, Phillip
Cheung, Tommy Lin, Long
Quan, Jimmy Chu, Van
Sayavong, Vince Jung,
Dennis Ng, Chi-Kein Ngo,
Nhian Phong Tnen, David
Wakayama and Thanh
Lam.
OFFSA, the All Ontario
Individual Championships
were held this year in Sault
St. Marie and once again
Riverdale displayed its
talent.
Jason Lin, Men's Singles
quarter finals 'A' flight.
Chi -Kien Ngo and Jessica
Chan, mixed doubles
quarter finals 'A' flight.
Phillip Cheung and Den-
nis Ng, men's doubles
fourth 'B' flight
A special congratulations
to Jennifer Yan and Lisa
Chang who reached the
semi-finals 'A' flight in
Ladies' Doubles.
The highlight of the 1991
season occurred in North
Bay on May 10, 11 at the
Ontario High School Team
Championships.
The Silver medal in the
`A' category was won by
our very powerful under 16
team made up of Tommy
Lin, Phillip Cheung, Nhan
Phong Trieu, Long Quan,
Judy Wong, Sieu Ling Kue,
Lilly Ha and Thi Ho.
This fine achievement
was only exceeded by our
under 20 team which swept
through undefeated to br-
ing home the Gold medal in
the 'B' category. The team
included Jason Liu, Dennis
Ng, Ken Lem, Vince Jung,
Lisa Chang, Anna Liu,
Jessica Chau, Cindy Lum
and Helen Ha,

The World According To Polls
Who do you vote for?
Where do you stand on
Meech Lake? What are
your feelings on pro -
choice? The answers are
sometimes predictable, oc-
casionally provocative, but
always revealing. And rest
assured, political parties,
government departments
and the advertising agency
nearest you are all anxious
to discover your answers.
Whether we like it or not,
polls have become an in-
tegral part of the Canadian
political landscape. Every-
day, thousands upon
thousands of Canadians are
asked where they stand on
current issues. However,
for many the process of
polling is still surrounded
n mystery.
Jordan A. Levitin would
like to change all that.
Mr. Levitin will speak at
the Ontario Science Centre
as part of a lecture series
associated with Mind -
works, a special exhibition
on the sciene of human
nature that runs until Feb.
2, 1992.
On Sun. June 15 at 2 p.m.,
"What Polls Tell Us About
People" - a talk given by
Mr. Levitin - will answer
questions and challenge
current myths by explain-
ing the realities of polling.
Among the topics to be
covered in this entertaining
and informative lecture:
the strengths and the
weaknesses of polling; its
uses and abuses; sampling
(why have I never been
polled?); bias (can
answers be
manipulated?) : and the
impact of published polls
during election campaigns.

Ontario's Waterways
Open To Navigation
The 1991 navigation
season is now open on the
Rideau Canal and the
Trent -Severn Waterway,
historic waterways
operated by the Canadian
Parks Service. The season
will end on Oct. 16th.
The two systems allow
boaters to travel from Ot-
tawa to Kingston and from
Trenton to Port Severn on
the shores of Georgian
Bay. The lakes and rivers
in between offer some of
the best vacation havens in
Central and Eastern On-
tario.
The Trent -Severn Water-
way connects the Severn
River, Lake Simcoe, the
Kawartha Lakes and the
Trent River. A through trip
covering the 386 km length
of the waterway takes
about a week.
Construction of the
Trent -Severn Waterway
began in 1833, although the
system was not open to
through navigation until
1920. It boasts several
engineering marvels in-
cluding a marine railway
at Big Chute and the
historic Peterborough Lift
Lock, the world's highest
hydraulic lift lock now
operating for its 86th
navigation season.
The year 1991 marks the
159th consecutive naviga-
tion season for the Rideau
Canal. Originally built by
British military engineers,
it now serves as a recrea-
tional waterway. At
several locations, the
history of the region is
brought alive by canal in-
terpreters and Canadian
Parks Service staff who
still operate the locks by
hand.
Overnight mooring and
lockage permits are
available on a daily or
seasonal basis for boaters
staying at lockstations
along the Rideau and
Trent -Severn canals.
The Sault Ste. Marie
Canal will not re -open to
navigation for the season
due to structural damage
that occurred in July 1987.
However, seasonal and dai-
ly rnooring permits are still
available and the historic
site is open to visitors.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The recent Speech from the Throne officially marked the
beginning of the third session of Canada's thirty-fourth
Parliament. Traditionally, any bills which have not receiv-
ed royal assent at the time of prorogation, or end of a ses-
sion of Parliament, means that those bills are considered
obsolete. However, the government recently reinstated five
bills which Parliament had already begun debate upon, but
not yet passed into law.
The second session was very active, with close to one -
hundred bills introduced and almost eighty passed into law.
By reinstating these bills, both time and money will be sav-
ed and repetitive debate on bills already introduced into the
House will be avoided.
One of the bills reinstated was Bill C-78, An Act to
establish a federal environmental assessment process. En-
vironmental assessment is a systematic method of identify-
ing potential environmental consequences and their impact
on people, their livelihood and way of life. By identifying
adverse environmental affects before they occur, plans can
be altered so that unwanted environmental impacts are
minimized, or ideally, eliminated.
Government accountability to the public will be increas-
ed and public participation improved, by clarifying the
legal process and procedures. Clear responsibilities will be
assigned to participants and resources focused on projects
requiring the most attention. This isn't just talk! To support
our initiatives, more funds and staff will be allocated to en-
vironmental assessment. In fact, approximately $100
million per year will be added to the current $50 million
spent annually on environmental assessment.
This bull will entrench into legislation an environmental
assessrrnexht process that is more powerful in its impact than
any other in the worid. By reinstating this bill, the govern-
ment can ensure that environmental assessment will
become a reality and not jurat a long term goal.
DID YOU KNOW ...?
While they may look good on paper, simple solutions to
eonVlek problems can be disastrous. While I have been a
long time supporter of cutting government spending, cer-
tain groups have recently called for across the board 15%
cuts. Where do these cuts fall? Federal transfers for health
and education? Pensions? U.I. premiums? Family
allowance? Who exactly will go without government ser-
vices? We should make sure we have answers to all these
questions before endorsing any such plans.
