Durham Bd. Of Education Notes
Success at skill olymr'ies
Harwood S.S. teacher
Karl Neuman reminded
trustees that the Durham
Skills Challenge was begun
in 1999. Students from
Durham have expen - - r P
great success in the com-
petition. This year, 21
Durham students went to
Hamilton for the Ontario
Skill Olympics. Scott Ben-
nett. Bobbi Reid, Scott Pat-
terson and Mike McGee
returned with gold medals
and the right to compete in
the national Skill Olympics
in Kentucky. There. Bobbi
Reed was the only Cana-
dian in the competition to
earn a medal, a bronze
which she von in the bak-
ing contest.
Student Mike McGee was
present to accept the con-
gratulations of trustees.
Karl Neuman reminded the
board that the 1992 Durham
Skills Challenge would be
held Wednesday, April 15
at Harwood S.S., Ajax. He
thanked trustees for their
continued support of
Durham students entering
these competitions.
Interim Progress Report
Received
Trustees received an in-
terim oral report on the
Program Services Special
Education audit from Beth
Cassels of Peat Marwick
Stevenson & Kellogg.
Donald King of the. same
firm and Mary Stager of
the Faculty of Education of
the University of Toronto
also were present. Beth
outlined the process the
team has taken in inter-
viewing staff. focus groups
and trustees to gather in-
0
formation about the
Organizational structure of
and the services offered by
the Program and Special
Education Departments.
The findings to date in-
dicate that the team likely
will recommend some com-
bination of a central, area
and school based model in
order for the board to best
meet the needs of Durham
staff and students. The
team will continue its inter-
viewing process for
another six weeks before
brims its final report to
the board in late January.
Sinclair Scboel No Laager
Required
Trustees officially
declared that the Sinclair
Public School, Whitby, is
no longer required for
school accommodation
purposes. The board cur-
rently is investigating with
Whitby and Durham
Regional Councils their
participation in the costs of
the future use of the school
and a report will be made
to the December meeting
of the Property, Planning
and Transportation Com-
mittee. The Sinclair Public
School currently is used to
accommodate many of the
board's Special Education
Services staff. Among the
options for the future of
Sinclair Public School is
that it will be relocated
prior oo the start of con-
struction on the new
Education Centre and
Whitby secondary school to
be built on the same site on
the north side of Taunton
Road. near Highway 12,
Whitby.
Values Policy Approved
The board adopted the
new Values Policy which
was developed by a sub-
committee of the Family
Life Advisory Committee.
The rationale behind the
new policy is that teaching
communicates values af-
fecting physical, intellec-
tual, emotional, social and
spiritual growth. The
Values Policy states that
Ube values outlined in the
board's System Plan will
be enacted in school en-
vironments and will focus
on the appreciation of and
commitment to developing
a positive sense of self, car-
ing and respect for others,
demonstrating a concern
for the environment and
building social visions com-
patible with a democratic
society.
The board hopes the
policy will provide all
employees and members of
the public with the
message that we have a
clear and concise sense of
what values precede and
inform our actions.
Community Use of Schools
Policy set
The board's revised
Community Use of Schools
Policy, which was approv-
ed in late September for
circulation on the Con-
sultative Process, was
returned to trustees for
final approval. The policy

now requires that
reciprocal agreements be
reached in order for groups
to receive free use of
Durham Board facilities.
As well, special fees will be
set for groups which
generate large amounts of
garbage in order that the
board may cover its in-
creasing costs for garbage
disposal. All groups will
now be
to cover
the costs of Ming and
lighting if the buildings are
kept open for use outside
school hours.
Trustees Bid Farewell
Trustees bade farewell to
their colleagues who will
not be returning to the
board and thanked them
for their assistance and
guidance over the past
Years. The nine retiring
trustees represent about
120 years' service and their
experience and expertise
will be greatly missed.
Trustees Gary Kitchen,
George Miksh, Lyn Craig,
Ruth Lafarga and Stephen
Saywell and Chairperson
Ian Brown expressed their
mixed emotions about leav-
ing the Durham Board.
They thanked the board for
allowing them the oppor-
tunity to serve the students
Of Durham and for the
many rewards experienced
during their terms of of-
fice.

To decide the issue, a
special meeting of Picker-
ing Council was called last
Monday night, resulting in
the co-op being approved
an a 41 vote.
Ward One Regional
Councillor, Maurice Bren-
ner, whose ward it will be
built in, declared a conflict

from voting on the issue.
However, the Ward One
Local Councillor.

great on Kingston Road".
"Pickering needs to give

added.

Remember The Children
With Arthritis
The holiday season for most children is a magic time. But
for children with arthritis, and their families, the holiday
reason can be a hectic, exhausting and often difficult time,
reports The Arthritis Society.
"Having a child with arthritis has certainly altered our
family's approach to day-to-day life, and especially the
holidays," says Laurie MacAllister, president of The On-
tario Juvenile Arthritis Association (O.J.A.A. ). "There
were times my daughter Sarah Ann couldn't open her own
presents or even help decorate the tree. When her neck was
involved we couldn't take her in the car - holiday visitors
had to come to us. „
Juvenile arthritis (JA) is a painful, sometimes disabling
collection of childhood conditions that can involve a few or
many joints. And for the 74,000 children 15 and under who
have it, climbing steps, throwing a snowball, opening gifts.
oreven walking can be difficult.
"People are most surprised to learn that arthritis affects
children," says Dr. Earl Silverman. rheumatologist and
medical advisor to the O.J.A.A. "Arthritis can affect
anyone from infancy through adulthood."
Before being diagnosed with arthritis, a child may be ill
for months with unexplained fever, swollen glands, muscle
weakness - with or without pain in joints. Arthritis in
children can be serious because the disease can affect not
only the joint function but also the bones' growth centres,
and may. in some cases. inmpair the child's general
growth -
What About The Children?
Dear Sir:
We read with great interest your coverage of the
Sagamihara Scarborough Kite Event. We were disap-
pointed. however, in the lack of coverage of the involve -
matt of cnldren from Scarborough at the event.
We gathered together 26 students from Scarborough
schools on Thursday. November ?nth at the Civic Centre to
construct 14 "Rokkaku" kites. The colleen decorated the
kites with Ontario motifs. Representing the West Hill com-
munity at the event were the following students:
Chief Dan George: Clair Egan, Lisa Chu mbiy. Adrean
Smith . Joseph How Sr : Nick Brach, Jeff Peck. Jimmy Sur-
ty: Su Oliver Mowat: Neils Jensen. Ran Hart: William G.
Miller: Sam Hamilton, Jonathan Ng.
On the Fri. Nov. 29th, at the formal ceremony, Dianne
Williams, Chairman for the Scarborough Board of Educa-
tion, introduced me as the children's kite instructor. I• in
turn. introduced the students who carne forward and
presented their kites as gifts to the Japanese delegation.
The Japanese were very touched by the students' actions,
and, in exchange• they formally presented each student
with a handcrafted replica of the Sagami kite now on
display above the rotunda at the Scarborough Civic Centre.
In addition each student received a wide brimmed straw
"Kite" hat which is popularly worn at Japanese kite
festivals. The children also wore headbands ( which my hus-
band. Seth. and I made for the occasion) with the Japanese
writing Tako Kichi meaning "kite crazy". We were all ask-
ed to join the Mayor and the delegation for the formal 'laun-
cung' of the Sagami kite.
The photo taken on page 3 of the Dec. 4th issue of The
Mews shows the students in the foreground just after this
launching. During this same ceremony, after the students
had presented their kites. I introduced Seth, who was also a
kite instructor for the event. He then called forward Mr.
Katsuyuki Tanaka. Consul of Japan, to receive a miniature
indoor kite on a flying stick. This kite is very special to us. It
was designed by Seth for the occasion and is in the shape of

Promises, promises:
made to be broken
By A4ichael Wvcks
No politician likes to be
faced with a tough political
decision. The odds are, once the
decision is made, a significant
number of people won't like it;
that's a political reality. So
when the rare situation arises
where there is unanimous agree-
ment amongst all concerned
citizens, politicians have the
easy task of simply following
through on their wishes. It's a
shame our federal government
can't even get that right.
In its backhanded form of
consultation, the government
asked for and ignored the opin-
ions of business and labour
groups, as well as its own Unem-
ployment Insurance Commis-
sion, and recently levied a 6 per
cent hike in U.1 C. psertaiums,
effective January 1. 1992. This,
on top of a 24 per cent jump in
premiums on July 1 of this year.
That makes for a punishing hike
of 30 per oar, all within a span
of six months, and will bring an
employee's contribution to S3
for every 5100 of insatrable earn-
ings with employias paying out
about $4.15 for every S100.
Criticism to the proposed
premium hikewas fast and furi-
ous. For example, in a Inter to
federal minister of employment
and immigration, Bernard Val -
court, the Canadian Federation
of Independent Businessalied
the government's approval of
the premium increase- "in the
face of unanimous advice from
business and labor, a mockery
of the consultation process."
!tore importantly, says CFIB
vice president and general man-
ager, Jim Bennett, this move
will cost jobs.
This government obviously
has no sense of what their mis-
guided policies are costing the
business community," Bennett
says. "The U.I. increase proves
that if the government is looking
for ways to prolong the reces-
sion and drive more people onto
the unemployment lines, their
strategy is working. But if emer-
gence from this recession and a
healthy economy is their goal,
they're way off base."
The facts, Bennett says,
speak for themselves. "The
government transferred all
responsibility for funding U.I.
to employers and employees
back in October, 1990. Since
then, it has effectively acted as
banker, collecting premiums
through taxes and distributing
those monies to unemployed
Canadians. In 1990, Ottawa
promised to freeze premium
incenses for three years, and
now. with two premium hikes
since then, it's apparent the fed-
eral government 's promises arc
made to be broken."
Bennett acknowledges that
drone unempk mwm above
10 per cem across the country
has drained the U.J. hand. But.
he adds, the government's deri-
sion to ignore the best advice of
all ivaerested parties indicates a
strategy aimed at pushing two
premium hikes through in 1991
to put themselves in better
shape for a 1993 election. "So
the U.J. deficit may be kept at
a reasonahle level in 1992- but
at what cost?" asks Bennett.
"No firm could have planned
for such a huge hike in fixed
costs in one year. Tax increases
during a recession act only to
damage, not stimulate a strug-
gling economy, and unemploy-
ment numbers, ironically, could
easily swell now as business
owners buckle under the strain
of excessive taxation."

We were very heartened to see your coverage of the
history of kites in Japan. We hope that this event will be the
beginning of a renewed interest in kite flying in the com-
munity, and serve to enlighten people on the significance of
kites around the world.

$100,000 Grant For Recreation
The Parks and Recreation Federation of Ontario (PRFO)
will receive a $100,000 grant to help recreation leaders res-
pond to the social, economic and environmental issues of
the 1990's, Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation
Peter North has announced.
"Phase 1 of 'Recreation: An Essential Service' produced
a catalogue outlining the benefits and priorities of recrea-
tion," Mr. North said. "Phase 11 will allow recreation pro-
viders to respond to those priorities and market their pro-
grams to involve more people. This complements our
governments' goal of giving Ontarians a greater opporturd-
ty to improve their quality of life."
Project Based Training
A $1,194,534 federal contribution under the Project Based
Training, a component of the Employability Improvement
Program will fund a project in Toronto to help 200 people
learn both the personal and technical skills they will need to
secure and retain employment.
This project was announced by the Hon. Pauline Browes,
Minister of State (Environment) and M.P. for Scarborough
Centre, on behalf of Employment and Immigration
Minister Bernard Valcourt.
The sponsor, Centennial College of Applied Arts and
Technology, will provide classroom and on-the-job training
to the participants. In addition. the students will receive
counselling in appropriate work habits.
The training provided will assist the students presently
on unemployment insurance benefits, to increase their
employability by offering them comprehensive training
and employment services. They will be givers vocational
assessment, group sessions. skills training and appropriate
referrals in various social and vocational resources within
the community.
"We must train people in the technical components of a
job as well as teaching them the personal skills that are
part of working." said Mrs. Browes. "This project will give
the participants the abilities necessary to find and keep
School Achievement Indicators Program
Ontario Education Minister Tory Sihpo has announced
that Ontario will take part in the national School Ach eve-
merd Indicators Program, now that the Caincil of
Ministers of Education. Canada (CMEC) has agreed to
significant changes in the program's goals and design.
"Ontario is pleased to participate in a renewed School
Achievement Indicators Program," said Mr. Sihpo. "We
have always set our sights on two goals: accountability and
program improvement." The announcement followed
discussions at a two-day meeting in Toronto of the educa-
tion ministers of Canada's provinces and territories.
Mr. Sihpo said that changes to the program reflect On-
tano's position an three major issues. The program will be
bused on each province's curriculum requirements; it will
allow provinces to choose samples that reflect each pro-
vince's demographic make-up; and provinces will be able
to consult with educators, school boards, and parents about
the content of the tests.
'Ibis educational indicators program can help us find
ways to improve the education we give our children," said
Mr. Silipo. "We can now look forward to building a better,
more accountable education system."
Social Assistance Rate Increases
Manon Boyd, Ontario's Minister of Community and
Social Services, has announced rate increases for Ontario's
two social assistance programs, Family Benefits
Allowance ( FBA) and General Welfare Assistance (GWA).
Mrs. Boyd said there will be a two per cent increase in
basic allowance for individuals receiving assistance. and a
six per cent increase in the maximum shelter allowance.
This six per cent increase in the shelter component will be
implemented in two stages with the fust three per cent ire
crease in January 199¢, and the second three per cent in Jw
ly 1992.
$1 Million Culture and Communications Grant
Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation, Peter
North, on behalf of Karen Haslam. Minister of Culture and
Communications, has announced a $1 million grant award-
ed to the Alexander Street Theatre Project of Toronto to

Bill Watt's Worlds
AT THE OPERA:
After a banquet, the
dessert. After Phantom of
the Opera, Andrew Lloyd
Webber brings us "Aspects
of Love" currently in for a
limited engagement at The
Elgin.
"Aspects of Love"
premiered in London in the
Spring of 1989. In conjunc-
tion with the event,
Hogarth Press reissued a
special edition of the
novella by David Garnett
upon which Mr. Lloyd Web-
ber's work is based. We
were sent a reviewer's
copy and here is what we
said about "Aspects of
Love".
"It's a silly little confec-
tion about a young man los-
ing his mistress to his uncle
and then being attracted
years later to the daughter
of the union of the uncle
and the mistress." (We
should have added that the
uncle's mistress. a sultry
sculptress also undulates
through the plot.)
It .. was first published
in 1955. Reading it. it's dif-
ficult to determine whether
Garnett influenced 1'enfant
terrible Francoise Sagan
or vice versa but it's not
really important. Neither
is the book except possibly
as a last flickering ember
from a member of the
much over rated
Bloomsbury set...
'.And, should Mr. Loyd
Webber be able to turn it in-
to a good musical -we said
good; it's almost a given
that it will be successful -
one will be able to achieve
some minor cachet for hav-
ing read the source."
Well, "Aspects of Love"
is not a good musical but it
is a fine opera. Make no
mistake and do not be misl-
ed into thinking that you're
going to experience a lush
musical of the kind done so
well on the Broadway and
London stage. This is
opera -all dialogue is
spoken -and is the case with
most operas, far more
powerful than its source.
The characters are bet-
ter delineated and their
passions leap across the
footlights far more effec-
tively than was the case
with the pseudo -
sophisticated scribblings of
Mr. Garnett. In print,
"Aspects of Love" is
pallid; in music and
dramatization it is vital
and alive. Larger than life
it might be but it's alive,
gloriously alive!
The music' Well, Mr.
Lloyd Webber is stingy. as
always. with melody but
even so there are at least
two arias that are true
scenery chewers. And yes,
another• two songs are in-
cluded that we suspect the
composer intended as
throwaways but which
linger most pleasantly in
the memory. They are

The First Man You
Remember. Remember,
however, that's the opinion
of this reviewer, the one
who still believes the best
song from Evita is the
seldom heard Night of a
Thousand Stars.
Keith Mitchell is the
nominal star in the role of
the uncle. This is the role
refused by Roger Moore
and one can see wiry. No
matter how well the role is
played, it will always be
subsidiary to the impact of
the first two lovers. Even
so, Mr. Mitchell acquits
himself right nobly. He
sings well, if lightly, and
his presence is never that
of a debauch6e but rather
that of a man who enjoys
life. So much so, that death
holds no fear for him; his
heaven is alreadv here on
earth with his wife and his
beloved daughter. Well
done Mr. Mitchell!
Ron Bohmer is the young
lover. Without, we hope.
being too overblown. he
looks like an Apollo and
sings like, well a young
Jack Cassidy. His acting is
more than good but
perhaps less than ex-
cellent. Yet. surely acting
in an opera is one of the
more ddfwWt feats of the
theatre and to do it well is
to deserve praise.
Linda Balgord is the
"lady.. with whom uncle
and nehew have and have
had the sublime act of
physical unm. We have
put 'lady" in quotation
marks because the role is
really that of a trollop. or
something just short of it.
Oh. one can rationalize that
she is simply a woman who
craves love but there are
many such who do not have
lovers while being -truly -in
love with a husband. Miss
Balgord manages the dif-
ficult task of making her
role almost sympathetic
and she does so in large
measure with the powerful
intensity and emotionalism
of her singing voice. Oh
yes, she also has great legs.
Kehl James is effective
as the enigmatic -and
sexy! -sculptress while Lori
Alter is poignant as the
daughter of 15 years who in
her form of innocence can
see no harm in a carnal
yearning for her father's
nephew.
Mee contributions too by
Judith Theirgaard as the
uncle's housekeeper,
Stephen Foster as a lover
of the uncle's wife and
David Chaney as a sincere
old friend.
Astute readers will have
noted that we have not
given the names of the
characters. They're not im-
portant. What is important
is the aspects of love as
seen through something
more than a m6nage a trois
and perhaps less than an
exhaltation.
Please see "Aspects of
Love" but carry this
caveat. Do not even at-
tempt to compare it with
Phantom of the Opera. The
two works stand alone and
it would be specious to at-
tempt to say which is the
better. The only criterion
must be whether or not one
is more enjoyable than the
other. That's for the in-
dividual to decide.

We can say that we are

We have yet to see one of

Aspects of Love remind-
ed us to go to our review
shelf for Courts of Love by
Jean Plaidy (Fon-
tana ; Collins) .
It's the story, written in
the first person, of Eleanor
of Aquitaine. What a
remarkable woman she
was! Married twice,
mother of eight, including
Richard Couer de Iron and
John, survivor of all but
two, she was a most pas-
sionate woman and had an
affair with her uncle.
That's not to suggest that
Courts of Love is a glorified
Harlequin Romance but
rather that most people of
significant achievement
have strong sex lives.
Miss Plaidy has done her
research well and the book
is as historically accurate
Any poet, whether
previously published or
not, can be a winner. Every
poem entered also has a
chance to be published in a
deluxe, hardbound an-
thology-
To enter• send one
original poem, any subject
and any style, to the Na-
as is possible.
It's a good book and one
that can be read with a feel-
ing of accomplishment.
Kate Pullinger is a Cana-
dian who moved to Britain
in 1982. When the Monster
Dies ( Random House) is
her first novel and is said to
be "a marvellous realiza-
tion of her promise as a ac-
complished young writer".
Yes! Well, she might be
an accomplished writer
(thanks, we believe, to a
sympathetic editor) but the
young lady really doesn't
have much to say.
Monster is about squat-
ters living in modern day
London and railing against
the System and the
Establishment. Fair
enough; youth always
rebels. These youths,
however, are of today's
breed who seem to have no
moral ethic.

If You Quit
Will You Gain?
•'Sure. I'd love to quit smoking. but I'm really afraid of
gaining weight. ' ( Anonym outs Smoker) .
Today many people are glvulg up smoking. Many more
would like to but are afraid of gaining weight. Is weight
gain unavoidable?
Wright gain when you quit smoking 1s possible but not in-
evitable. Studies have shown that while around two-thirds
of quitters gain weight, around one-third stay the same and
some even late. For those who do gain, the average is only
around 4 to 13 pounds t 2 to 6 kilos).
flu it passible to gain weight when you quit. even if yea don't
eat more'
Yes, it is possible. The research suggests - although it is
too early to be sure - that smoking alters metabolic pro-
cesses. This right explain why snorers tend to weigh less
than non-smokers. Once you quit, your metabolism
changes. So some ex-smokers gain, even when their diet re -
maims the same. A regular cardiovascular -based akercise

calories, relieve stress and give you a sense of well -being -
You can breathe easily.
- Some quit-smnokirig programs recoaunetnd increasing your
fluid intake. Make sure these extra drinks are caffeine -free.
Coffee, tea, chocolate and colas all contain caffeine and
they may increase the "jitters" - a common side effect of
nicotine withdrawal. Since you also want to keep your sweet
tooth under control try mineral or soda water, tomato juice,
diet drinks or evert plain water.
- Get others to help you. Ask your family, friends and col-
leagues for support. Be direct. Tell them you would like low
calorie snacks at get-togethevs. Let them know you would
appreciate tactful reminders when your srtacking gets out
of hand. Involve them in your food monitoring. Ex-smokers
may be particularly reassuring so ask for their advice.
- Reward yourself for not smoking. Don't use food as the
grand prize! Put your ..cigarette money.. aside and spend it
on a special treat or save it for a holiday. Spoil yourself.
Celebrate each non-smnoking anniversary: the first day,
week, month and year.
A special note on stress:
Quitting smoking does not necessarily create stress. But
it does remove your usual method of dealing with it - which
was to reach for a cigarette. If you know this ahead of time
you will be able to find new and better coping mechanisms.
Nutrition and stress interact. Stress affects your nutritional
status and your nutritional status affects how well you cope
with stress.
Current research shows that one of the most effective
ways of dealing with stress is to maintain a well-balanced
diet.
You'll feel so proud of yourself once you've kicked the
habit.

The holiday celebrations
continue as Spadina,
Mackenzie House and Col-
borne present Twelfth
Night. Enjoy a tour which
focuses on this important
19th century holiday tradi-
tion.
Twelfth Night or
Epiphany marked the end
of the Twelve Days of
Christmas. One Twelfth
Night tradition observed in
England was the wassail-
ing of apple trees in which
cider was thrown on an old
apple tree, cider -soaked
toast placed in its branches
and shots fired through the
leaves while the wassail
song or invocation to the
tree was sung.
The celebration also in-
cluded a special Twelfth
Night cake which contain-
ed a hidden bean and a pea.
The person who found the
bean was crowned the King
and the Queen's crown
went to the person with the
pea in their piece of cake.
The crowned royalty earn-
ed the right to demand
entertainment from the
others seated at the dining
room table.
Since Christmas decora-
tions were taken down on
the Twelfth Night, another
common activity included
making scrapbooks from
the Christmas wrapping
paper and cards.
Spadina
In keeping with tradition,
Spadina will remain
decorated until the twelfth
day of Christmas when the
ornaments are carefully
packaged for the next year.

Safety Tips For Winter Road Travel
Thousands of Ontario
motorists will be travelling
greater distances during
the Christmas -New Year's
period, as they visit family
and friends. To ensure a
safe trip, the Ontario Pro-
vincial Police is recom-
mending motorists carry
several important items
with them.
To prevent a rear -wheel -
drive car from beconung
stuck in the snow, a bag of
sand could be placed in the
trunk to improve traction.
To help free a stuck vehi-
cle. sand, rock -salt, kitty
litter or ashes, from a con-
tainer in the trunk, could be
sprinkled in front of the
drive wheels to allow the
tires to grip the surface. A
piece of carpet or a car
floor mat could also be us-
ed to keep the tires from
spinning in the snow or on
ice.
Other cold weather
travel aids can be found
around the home. They in-
clude: a blanket, an old
jacket, gloves, boots, mat-
ches and an empty coffee
can to bold a candle for
warmth.
A pencil and paper. coins
for a pay phone, and a
..Call Police" sign can be
used to alert others that
you need gyp•
In addition, a driver
should carry a snow bash,
an ice scraper, extra wind-
shield washer fluid, battery
boaster cables, a fust aid
kit, and emergency warn-
ing triangles, flares or
lights.
In the days prior to a trip,
the OPP recommends that
a car be checked for max-
imurn operating efficiency
to reduce the risk of the
driver being stranded_
And while travelling. the
gas tank should be kept at
least half -full to limit con-
densation in the gas line
and to provide reserve fuel
to keep the engine running
in an emergency. A driver
may find fewer service sta-
tions open during certain
days and nights of the holi-
day period, so should plan
fuel purchases according-
ly.

We have all heard of the unfavourable media attention
concerning the recent Auditor General's report for 1991.
What I have found to be almost totally lacking in these ac-
counts is any mention of positive items culled from the
report -
expect the Auditor General to find problems with the
way money is spent. That, after all, is his job. Otis job is to
fix those problems. We want to make sure that tax dollars
are spent wisely.
Contrary to popular belief, not everything in his report is
negative. He comments positively about the way we have
acted on past recommendations and recent measures. He
also supports the aims and principles of PS 2000, the
government's civil service revitalization effort. Since you'll
probably be hard-pressed to find these positive statements
in the media, I'd like to include a few of them in this week's
column. Regarding follow-up of past recommendations:
".Overall. progress is being made in taking corrective ac-
tion in response to deficiencies noted in previous Reports...
(paragraph 3.1)
The departments in our 1967 study on microcomputers
have made considerable progress in implementing our 1987
recotrlmleildations. " (3.29)
..We recommended that several changes be made in
presenting information to Parliament .. with respect to the
Borrowing Authority Act. Considerable improvement has
subsequently been made .. ' (3.64)
.the Government Telecommunications Agency
(GTA's) new data communications bulk purchases .. are
beginning to provide savings to government while expan-
ding these services to 1 F A new needs. GTA estimates a
savirnga of =13415 million in 1991-92." (3.96-3.97)
.. the ( Canada Employment and Immigration) Coax
mission has taken several measures that satisfactorily res-
pond to otr observations and recommendations. :dation. For in-
stance. it has developed new preventive measures to
discourage abuse of the Unemployment Insurance (UI)
system .. " (3.179)
Regarding Financial Management and Control of Non -
Tax Revenue:
• be results of this review are encouraging. They in-
dicate that steps are being taken by central agencies and
departments to improve the financial management and
control of non -tax revenue. " (9.1)
I believe that this illustrates that the government can be
entrusted to properly allocate the tax doAars of Canadians.
While then is certainly roan for improvement, signifiram
advancements have been made in many areas and
depart-
Ments. and further advancements will be forthcoming.
