for you and us
Dear Editor:
This is an open letter to Premier Bob Rae in reply to his.
From our perspective you are a traitor to the people of
Ontario, You blatantly promote French against the wishes
of a vast majority. You have been informed as to our
wishes. Does it matter to you? No. We need the French
language and culture in Ontario like we need communism.
Both are forceful and restrictive. A free and intelligent peo-
ple do not warrant this treatment.
You rob from the poor and sick to pay the price. You
escalate our provincial debt to kowtow to your superiors
and to comply with your seemingly distorted view of
democracy, and you smile while you are doing it. We put
you in and we will take you out!
Supporting the promoting of the City of Toronto as of-
ficially bilingual is offensive to the other minority groups
there who have English as a second language. Forcing
French on over 2.000,000 people in that city is, not only cost-
ly, it is extremely insulting and discriminating! So much
for your support of the French Language Services Act of
Ontario. We will delegislate it in time!
In an article in Chatelaine. May 1991 it says and I quote.
-Injustice ignites a moral rage in Rae". Let's see some
moral rage'.
A new Political Pam needs to be promoted that gives the
intelligent Ontarian a voice in government. We need to sup-
port a party that promotes Citizen's Referendum and the
Recall System. We need to be aware of your regressive tac-
tics by questioning the politically -supportive media and
learn to read between the lines. How is that for an answer to
your political palaver?
Yours truly.

Opinion At Council
Dear Editor:
I attended the Scarborough Council meeting last might
(July 10 ) on "second units*'. I had previously received a let-
ter inviting me to attend and express my opinion on the sub-
ject At that time I thought I would be unable to attend and I
sent in my opinion to the City Clerk's office.
Boy was I glad I wasn't the young man who was first to
speak and express an opinion. He was subjected to what I
can only call a "third degree. He was cross examined by
several Councillors as though he was a criminal in the dodo.
He was asked at least twice by Councillors as to how they
should vote.
He was asked to express an opinion of a letter from the
Province to the Council, of which he knew nothing. The
whore meeting began to show its disapproval of this conduct
by the Councillors and we were told in no uncertain terms
by the mayor that any speaker would be subjected to these
questions.
Sly letter asked me to express an opinion on "second
units" it did not say that I would be required to be question-
ed on my opinion or that I would be asked to advise Coun-
cillors as to how they should vote. In short, in my opinion
the Council is completely unaware as to where their duty
lies and they are trying to avoid making the'decisions for
which they have been elected.
Woe is me' or woe is us'

Another Tory tax
By Michael ff vcks
Like pouring salt on a
wound, so too is the federal
government's approach to
taxation—both are painful and
increasingly counterproductive
Thirty-five tax increases have
been tallied by the Tory govern-
ment since taking charge in
1964, and the latest, thrust on
employers with the proposed
amendments to Canada's
Bankruptcy Act, is simply more
of the sante
The most recent proposed
tax is a payroll tax, which will
cost employers an average of 10
cents a week for each employee
and be used to cover the cost of
paying back wages of up to
52.000 to employees of firms
that go bankrupt. While wage
protection for employees is
undeniably essential, so too is
fairness in taxation matters say-,
the Canadian Federation of
Independent Business. CEIB
argues that governments should
approach taxation matters by
spreading the tax burden more
evenly, not just on the backs of
business, specifically smaller
firms, which carry a dispropor-
tionate total of the overall load.
.According to CFIB, a fairer
approach would have been to
allow employees prior claim to
the assets of bankrupt compa-
nies over banks and other
secured creditors. In all likeli-
hood, however, the federal
government decided to bow
to pressure from the banking
community which had vehe-
mently protested any steps in
that direction.
"The insensitivity of this
tax is particularly palling con-
sidering the fact the federal
gmx-m t ent has just gobbled up
$44X) million in surplus revenues
from another infamous tax, the
Goods and Services Tax, and
is hitting businesses with a 24
per cent increase in U.I. con-
tributions as of July 1," says
Brien Gray, CFIB senior vice-
president of legislative affairs.
"Furthermore, once a pay-
roll tax is implemented, regard-
less of the amount, gavernmctus
have a tendency to broaden the
uses for which funds are raised
and increase the rate oft he tat.
Another profit insensitive pay-
roll tax on small business, for
instance, is the last thing firms
need when unemployment is so
high and they're doing all they
can to maintain current employ-
ment levels, much less create
new jobs."
Ch1 a positive nae, there was
some good news to come out of
the changes to the Bankruptcy
Act. Companies close to
bankruptcy will now have at
least 30 days and upon court
approval, as much as five
months to reorganize their busi-
nesses and negotiate with credi-
tors. There is also new
protection for unsecured credi-
tors, giving them the right to
reclaim goods from a bankrupt
firm within 30 days of delivery,
provided the goods have not
been transformed. Missing
from the proposals are much
needed rules for receivers to
ensure their accountability to all
creditors. The process for
declaring personal bankruptcy
will also be streamlined.
The Bankruptcy Act has
Here and There
:sexual Assault Prevention Month
Seventy-two community groups in 41 Ontario cities and
towns are mobilizing their resources to confront the pro-
blem of sexual assault in their home communities.
Anne Sw•arbrick, Minister Responsible for Women's
Issues, announced that the 72 organizations are receiving
grants of approximately $2.000 each. Groups use these
grants for local public education projects, as part of this
month's sexual assault public education campaign, which
is coordinated by the Ontario Women's Directorate.
..Violence against w»men is deeply entrenched in our
society, so the participation of local groups is crucial to get
the message out that sexual assault is a crime" said Ms.
Sw•ar'brick. -Different communities need different types of
public education as we all work together toward the goal of
preventing sexual assault."
Grant recipients include sexual assault centres, women's
shelters and resource centres• native women's associa-
tions. groups for women who are disabled and for im-
migrant and racial minority women.
Projects funded include billboards carrying the message
that sexual assault is a crime, pamphlets for the Cambo-
dian community, resource materials in Ojicree and
workshops for teenagers.
STATFACTS
A 1989 Statistics Canada survey on illegal drag use show-
ed that 6.5% of the population age 15 and up admitted using
cannabis (marijuana hashish, hashish oil) in the previous
year. While the trend data on illegal drags is sparse, the in-
dication was that cannabis use had declined. A 1980 survey
found about 12% of persons age 18 and over had used the
substance. Following are some other facts from the 1989
survey. conducted for Health and Welfare Canada
been ripe for revision for many
years. It's difficult to say how
many small businesses could
have been saved had the previ-
ous governments and their
ministers possessed the political
will to make the necessary
changes to the Act years ago.
The latest reforms, unveiled
by Consumer and Corporate
Affairs Minister, Pierre Blois,
are also too late to help the
many businesses which have
finally succumbed to the
ravages of this current recession.
The most recent figures show a
levelling off and even slight
decline in the number of busi-
ness bankruptcies. These may
finally have peaked but con-
sumer bankruptcies remain
high as laid -off workers remain
highly susceptible to financial
pressures.
The irony is that the govern-
ment's revisions will only begin
to take effect when the recession
is almost over, past the time
when they were needed the
most. And during these difficult
economic times, when many
small firms are barely hanging
on, another Tory tax is exactly
what isn't needed.

PARTY TIME:ONE
So there we were; drink-
ing champers with Queen
Babs, pleased with ourself
for wearing socks of the
same hue as the an-
ticipated smoked salmon
on the buffet and generally
having a helluva genteel
time.
The occasion? A fund
raising Victorian party for
the Canadian Centre for
Advanced Film Studies.
The location? On the cen-
tre's grounds on Bayview
Ave. It used to be Windfield
Farm where E.P. Taylor
bred champion race
horses.
Activities? All champion.
Lawn bowling -bit of a
stretch actually on a rough
pitch: badminton -it surely
wasn't goodnvnton: tennis,
auctions, surprise gift cer-
tificates inside balloons -we
scored for a pair of
Serengeti sunglasses: good
dining -about which. more
later -and excellent
schmoozing.
Backgrounding it all was
music, delightful music.
Voces I.unarem is a sextet
of early teeners who en-
chant with their sweet a
capella singing. Joanna
Jordan plays swing -
swing! -on a harp better
than anyone we've heard
since John Gart. And, he
didn't have great legs,
Queen Babs? Eckshully.
it was Barbara Hamilton
dressed to the nines as
Queen Victoria. In-
terestingly. her town crier
looked rather like Dr.
Henry Morgenthaler.
Curious, when one con-
siders that Queen V. had
umpteen children. We men-
tioned it to the ubiquitous
John Burgess -change the
hat John -but he didn't think
he could use it in the Finan-
cial Post.
Jolly good party. If you
mussed it again this year,
you'll just have to "give the
old earth a couple of
whirls" until the next one.
Ob yes, the food. Ex-
cellent cold roast beef and
good, solid potato salad
among other delights. No
cucumber sandwiches
however and alas, no smolt -
ed salmon. Our gloious
socks were to no avail.
Tant pis.
PARTY TIME:7WO
Foodwise it was rather
more substantial tact next
evening at Mr. Greenjeans
in the Eaton Centre
perhaps better and more
euphemistically known as
the eatin' centre.
Mr. Greenjeans has been
completely remodelled into
what can only be described
as great entertainment.
One still eats there but now
one is also surrounded by
and even part of entertain-
ment.
Each area of the multi -
tiered complex has been
given an entertainment
reference. Possibly the
most striking is the lounge
which now appears to be a
television studio, complete
with theatrical lighting, ex-
posed cables, graphics and
screen images.
In another area one can
make one's own videos,
rather like making a home
recording except that now,
you can see yourself.
Musical background is sup-
plied as are lyrics where
necessary. As well, a most
personable young man will
give you the gentlest of
directions in presenting
yourself at your best.
There is fun all around
but we suggest that it's the
food that will continue to
bring the throngs to Mr.
Greenjeans.
The wings and ribs con-
tinue to be among the best
in the city but all of items
on the generous menu are
worth custom. Even the
caesar salad, though not
made at table as is proper,
is excellent even with
seafood added. Usuallv, we
like a caesar to be just that
but Greenjeans don't
desecrate theirs with the
addition.
You'll be amused at the
salad plates themselves.
Printed on them are the
words Hail Caesar. Take a
stab at our mighty Caesar
salad'
Take a stab at Green -
jeans soon. We intend to
become a regular.
ON SCREEN:
What's interesting about
Dutch ( 20th Century Fox)
is its approach to the sub-
ject matter. At this point
and for the next three
paragraphs we're going to
quote more or less directly
from our media release.
Dutch Dooley (Ed
O'Neill I has what he thinks
will be an easy task. He's to
pick up his girl friend's son
(she's divorced) Doyle at
an Atlanta boarding school
and drive him home to
Chicago -
Dutch, a blue collar self-
made nian drive home
figures thegive long
and Doyle ( Ethan Randall)
a chance to get acquainted-
Unfortunately,
cquainted_Unfortu nately, Doyle is a
snobbish. arrogant adoles-
cent who cares nothing
about Dutch or his working
class values.
Taken from his sheltered
and privileged world,
young Doyle is going to
learn about life in the real
world whether be likes it or
not in what trans out to be
an extraordinary trip
home.
Now, if the film had been
made in the thirties it
would have been done as a
tender piece about two peo-
pie coming to recognize the
good in each. It would like-
ly have starred such as
Bruce Cabot and Dickie
Moore.
For the nineties,
however, the approach is
comedy. Incredibly
however, it works. The
movie is funny, very funny.

him that is quite winning.
Ethan Randall is virtual
essence of spoiled brat and
yet not so much so that one
wishes him harm, just a
swift kick in the butt.
The ending is a happy
one, predictably and you'll
still be chuckling as you
leave the theatre. Mind
you. it might be that you're
chuckling, as we found
ourself doing, over the
name of the executive pro-
ducer .. Tarquin Gotch.
ON RECORD:
We read recently that the
late C. M. Kornbluth, one of
the best of the science fic-
tion writers, certainly the
most literate, used to
review children's records
to supplement his income
in the early days.
That gave us heart to
listen to Bob's Favourite
Street Songs Bob McGrath
(A. & M.). We're happy
that we did. 'Ibis is a good
album and probably one of
the best children's albums
we've ever beard. Certain-
ly, we have enjoyed it more
than any of the many
others we've reviewed over
the years.
As the title implies, these
are songs from Sesame
Street newly arranged and
orchestrated for the fine
singing style of Bob
McGrath who manages to
take even the hoary Rua
he.r Duckie and make it
alive. He does it with all the
selections.
Although intended for the
young ones we suggest that
the album is almost too
good for them. Try it out at
your next rec roan party
and see if we're not cor-
rect.
Not that it should matter
but it pleasures us to point
out that it was produced
locally. The technical
quality and musicianship
are beyond any criticism.
Permit us please a few
more words about Street
Songs, words that are
singularly coincidental to
our review of Ed O'Neill in
Dutch. Bob McGrath is a
fine singer; that goes
without saying. There is,
however. something about
his vocalizing. particularly
in sentimental songs, that
we find reminiscent of so-
meone else.
Readers with long
memories will recall a
singer of some years ago
who started on a radio soap
opera called The O' Neills.
His character's name on
the show was Danny and
when the show discon-
tinued he made a new
career as a singer Danny
O'Neill. Bob McGrath
sounds very much like our
memory's recollection of
Danny O'Neill.
You can see and hear
Bob McGrath next Wednes-
day at The O'Keefe. Show
time is 2 p.m. You'll enjoy
him with children along but
we think you'll enjoy him
even without them.

IN PRINT
Readers must make in-
dividual decisions and or
verdicts on Dreams To
Keep by Nomi Berger ( Seal
Books) .
Is it an embarassmnent of
riches, is it an example of
undisciplined editing or is
it a case of a talented
writer trying to deliver too
much to too many potential
readers?
It is a strong book but
could have been powerful.
It is a ladies' book but
uneven, like an unsatisfac-
tory souffid.
Briefly, Dream To Keep
is the story of Tania
Mickiewicz who, as a little
girl loses her family in the
Warsaw massacre of World
War II. Only two things
sustain her for the rest of
her life; a determination to
preserve herself as a Jew
and to exact revenge upon
an American step uncle
who was the cause of her
family's destruction by his
refusal to send family
money that could have ef-
fected a rescue.
A good tight stay line,
almost a reverse gender
Ben Hur.
It descends into a morass
of hungry day dreams,
however, when the manner
of Tania's revenge takes
Detectives Richardson
(Mehri) and Masterson
(Rothrock) must enter the
underbelly of New York's
Chinatown in a hunt for the
killer before he strikes
again.
Richardson, a former
Tiger stylist himself must
come to grips with his past
to face the villain and in
between there are a lot of
kicks and claws.
Merhi. whose own com-
pany Film One Productions
is producing the picture in
conjunction with
cinematographer Curtis
Peterson from Vancouver,
has already gotten a
healthy U.S. Distribution
deal with Shapiro
Glickenhaus Entertain-
ment.
The stars of "Tiger
Claws" are all serious mar-
tial artists. A black belt in
several styles Merhi is a
Chinese kung fu specialist.
He won the 1980 Canada
shape. She becomes An-
tonia Michaels and sets out
to become successful
because she must have
money to seek out her uncle
and destroy him.
She becomes a successful
business woman via a
chain of superb gourmet
establishments called
Charisse after a black
woman who had helped her
and whom she had convinc-
ed to enter civil rights
movements.
So one reads long
paragraphs about the
design of the stores, the
uniforms of the personnel,
the goods being sold.
Of course, Antonia is in-
credibly beautiful. She
doesn't eat well and hardly
ever sleeps but she is
beautiful. Of course there
are at least three affairs.
She dresses like a
couturier's dream of
course and decriptions of
her outfits are usually good
for several extra
paragraphs that divert
from the main narrative
thrust.
This is all well and even
good if one is reading
Danielle Steele or Susan
Howatch or even,
Margaret Truman but
distracting at least and
vaguely annoying when
reading a writer of the
calibre of Miss Berger.
Mind you, the finest book
in the world means nothing

graphic descriptions of
love making, clothing, food
and fine restaurants are
what make people buy
books, then more power to
Miss Berger. Still, we
would have enjoyed more
power in Dreams To Keep.
Speaking of fine
restaurants one hopes that
after reading the forego-
ing, Miss Berger will keep
our dream of lunching with
her.

Natural gas has many lead-

tions, lending stability to
Canada's industry and econ-
omy. Because Canada has a se-
cure, abundant supply of natural
gas those industries, businesses
and individuals that depend on
natural gas for their energy
needs are not vulnerable to fluc-
tuating world energy supplies
and prices.
"The natural gas industry
employs thousands of Canad-
ians, and local natural gas ini-
tiatives bring employment and
permanence to many communi-
ties," says Mr. MacNabb. "The
natural gas industry continues
to research and develop
innovative and environmentally
responsible natural gas applica-
tions to help Canadian busi-

Molson Indy Weekend
by Jerry Hudson
The Molson Indy
weekend of July 19-21 at
Toronto's Exhibition Place
was extremely hot and
muggy, and Indy car quali-
fying matched the blister-
ing temperatures.
Five drivers qualified
under the magical one -
minute barrier, the fastest
being Michael Andretti of
Nazareth, Pa with a time of
59.00'7.
For the first time in the
six-year history of the 103
lap feature race, the pole -
sitter won. Not only that, he
led from start to finish in
the record-setting time of
one hour, fifty minutes and
67.274 seconds.
Andretti drove his impec-

Pro -Am
Classic
Centennial College has a
scholarship program that's
as enjoyable as a round of
golf on a summer's day.
That's because the Centen-
nial College Alumni Pro -
Am Classic is exactly that -
a fundraising golf game
and dinner.
Last year, the $12,000
raised in the annual event
put 17 deserving students
through their college pro-
grams tuition -free. This
year's sixth annual Classic
will be played on Wed. July
24, at Carrying Place Golf
and Country Club in King
Township. The 1991 goal is
to raise $20,000 - enough for
25 scholarships.
The tournament will once
again attract more than 30
Canadian professional tour
golfers, each leading one of
the 36 foursomes around
the mature course. The
pros will play for a hand-
some purse, while the other
players shoot for valuable
prizes. New this year is a
tennis tournament for the
non -golfing set.
The tournament will be
highlighted by a dinner and
awards ceremony hosted
by broadcaster and funny
guy Ted Woloshyn.
Corporate sponsors
"buy" holes, enter teams,
donate prizes, and sponsor
scholarships in return for
the opportunity to fly the

are looking for new names

His victory wasn't
without an early challenge
by 1990 defending Molson
Indy champion Al Unser.
Jr.
Unser had his Valvoline
Chevy Lola Galles-Kraco
Racing T9100 right on An-
dretti's tail for the first six
laps, and attempted to pass
his rival in turn three at the
end of Lakeshore Blvd.
But Unser had to brake
heavily to avoid hitting An-
dretti, smoking and flat -
spotting his car's Goodyear
Eagle- Locking up the
wheels when his car was so
heavy with fuel proved to
be too much for the Lola's
front suspension, and his
damaged car hit the wall in
turn four.
Little Al had to park it in
the entrance of turn five
with a totally collapsed
front suspension, his race
over far too early.
Michael Ardretti's father
Mario finally beat his
Toronto Milson Indy jinx
by finishing second to
make it a one-two Andretti
sweep -
In fact, of the top five
finishers, three were An-
drettis. Mario's nephew
John brought his Pennzoil
Special Hall VD5 Racing
Chevrolet -engined Lola in
for a well-earned fifth -
place finish.
Rounding out the top five
were Dublin, Oh's Bobby
Rahal who took third in his
STP Kraco Chevy Lola,
and Roseville, Ca's Scott
Pruett who finished fourth.
Pruett's car was the only
non -Lola, non -Chevy engin-
ed machine to place that
high. He drives a Judd -
engined, American
Truesports 91C, and his
top -five finish shows that
with proper tuning the
Judd engine can give the
Chevys a run for the
motley.
Toronto's Scott Goodyear
drove a steady race, plac-
ing his Mackenzie
Financial-UNO Doug
Sheirson Lola seventh
overall. Doubtless he would
have done even better if the
Sheirson team had their
much -coveted Chevy
engine.
The other Canadian,
Thunder Bay, Ont's John
Jones, took tenth in vet
another Judd -powered
T8900 Lola. It was the best
Indy race finish for Cana-
dians yet, with two of our
drivers finishing in the top
ten.
Jones commented, "It's

Recent Policy Submissions
Provincial Budget
In an April 29, 1991 letter
responding to the board's
Ontario Pre -Budget sub-
mission !February, 1991).
Ontario Treasurer Floyd
Laughren acknowledged
that the recent budget re-
quired ..several difficult
decisions" and ..was not an
easy one to prepare'
The letter did not mention
the $9.7 billion deficit, but
instead drew attention to
some tax adjustments,
such as the surtax on tax-
able income of corpora-
tions claiming the small
business deducation, which
were introduced in the
budget.
The Treasurer also urged
the board to participate in
the Fair Tax Commission's
review of Ontario's tax
system, particularly in the
area of corporate tax ex-
penditures.
Health Care
In an April 18, 1991 letter
responding to the board's
submission to the Premier
of Ontario, the Treasurer of
Ontario and the Ontario
Minister of Health on
health costs t March, 1991( -
outlining a proposed in-
itiative through which the
business community could
help reduce health care
costs in Ontario - Premier
Bob Rae termed the
board's proposal an "in-
teresting initiative" and
directed Treasurer Floyd
Laughren to "consider
(The board's) initiative".
The Premier also sug-
gested that the Board pre-
sent the concept to the Fair
Tax Commissions.

ter respecting automobile

Tully, Deputy Minister,

Review, thanks the board
for elaborating on some of
the issues raised at its
meeting of April 18. Mr.
Tull• noted that "Your con-
cern that the fortheormng
reforms should not place
an increased burden on On-
tario's business sector is
well -taken".
Proposals to amend the
Labour Relations Act
In March 1991, the On-
tario Ministry of Labour
identified 30 issues for con-
sideration by a Labour
Relations Act Reform
Committee. The commit-
tee, comprised of three
representatives of the
labour point of view and
three representatives of
the management point of
view, submitted its report
to the Minister of Labour in
early April.
In its June, 1991 submis-
sion to The Minister, The
Board points out that the
proposals constitute a fun-
damental restructuring of
the Labour Relations Act
and a distortion of the
historical balance in
labour -management rela-
tions.
The Board expresses its
alarm with the negative
impact the proposals could
have on Ontario's business

In Pursuit Of The Trivial
In Kissimmee St. Cloud
When you drive through
Kissimmee for the first
time, you may feel as
though you've seen it
before. Frank King,
creator of the comic strip
"Gasoline Alley", was a
citizen of Kissimmee for
nearly 25 years. Many of
his cartoon scenes were
based on Kissimmee life.
For example, the cour-
thouse where the
characters Skeezix and
Nina were married, looks
remarkably like the
Osceola County Cour-
thouse.
And the soda fountain in
Gasoline Alley had the
word "Tress" in the win-
dow, while Tress' newss-
tand in Kissimmee was the
most popular soda fountain
in town for many years.
In 1881, Hamilton
Disston, a Philadelphia
businessman, purchased 4
million acres of land from
the state's bankrupt Inter-
nal Improvement Fund, for
:.25 an acre. Part of this
land became a trading post
called Allendale. It was
later named Kissimmee -
the Indian word for
"Heaven's Place".
St. Cloud was established
at the request of thousands
of disabled Civil War
veterans who wanted a
place to go for relief from
the long northern winters.
In 1909. there were three
tents, two hales and twen-
ty people in St. Cloud. To-
day's population numbers
more than 11,000.
Makinson's Hardware,
located downtown on
Broadway. is the oldest
hardware store in the state.
It opened in 1884 as Makin -
son and Katz_ The Osceola
County Courthouse is the
oldest courthouse in the
state still in use. It was
built in 1889. The Arcade
Theatre, also located on
Broadway, is another
Kissimmee landmark. It
was built in 1925.
The alligators that lived
in the marshes. creeks and
rivers in the area were of
great use to pioneer cat-
tlemen. In dry weather,
when water was scarce,
cattlemen would steal the
water that collected in the
'gators' holes to give to the
cattle_ They would have to
lasso the gator first, and tie
it to a tree until they'd
taken all the water from its
hole.
In 1900, prices were steep
- Gator hides sold for 10
cents a foot, coon hides cost
15 cents apiece. Other furs
sold for as high as $15 each.
Of course, the average
cowboys' salary was $1 a
day.
In the 19th century, Nar-
coosee was primarily a set-
tlement for English Army
retirees and English sons
sent to earn their fortunes
in America. Narcoosee had
a Polo Club, lawn bowling,
tennis, horse racing and an
ostrich farm.

WEEK
from Ottawa
with Rene Soetens, M.P.
Many people have been commenting about the tax in-
crease on tobacco lately. Some are protesting the increase
by filling out one of the thousands of cards from cigarette
packs that have arrived in Ottawa. Others cheer the
measures discouraging tobacco use because they may have
been touched by its sometimes tragic effects.
The truth is that people die from tobacco use. It kills more
than 35,000 Canadians every year and is the major preven-
table cause of heart and lung disease. Another truth is that
most Canadians start smoking when they are teenagers. If
we can prevent young Canadians from taking up the habit,
chances are that they will never smoke.
The tax increase on tobacco, announced in the budget in
February, will reduce the number of teenage smokers by
about 100,000 and prevent 25,000 of them from dying
prematurely of tobacco -caused illnesses.
The tax increase on tobacco is a public health measure
that is one part of our national strategy to reduce tobacco
use. We are fighting the battle through a ban on tobacco
advertising, health promotion messages addressed to
young Canadians, health warnings on cigarette packages,
and help for growers to get out of tobacco farming. Each of
these parts reinforces the other.
We have received a great deal of support from Canadians
for these measures. We have also seen some very encourag-
ing signs of change. A quarter of young Canadians from 15
to 24 years of age are snaking today compared to half of
them ten years ago.
Canada was fourth in the world in cigarette consumption
in 1982 at 2,800 per person and by 1909 had dropped to seven-
teenth at 1,800. That's a drop of 1,000 cigarettes a person
each year.
We want to continue down this road. We want to give
young Canadians a chance to mature into healthy citizens.
This is a large part of what the tax increase is about.
I would like to thank all those who attended the Canada
Day celebrations at my constituency office. The unabasbed
pride for our country demonstrated during the day made it
quite clear to all in attendance that this country is far too
important to us all to let constitutional wranglings tear it
apart.
