What A Mess!
by Bob Watson
The latest effort to produce a magical document to
resolve all of Canada's cultural and heritage problems has
bombed. Despite all the millions of words by Canadians for
man• months now, our NIPS think Quebec should get
special powers which other provinces can't have. We
believe that all Canadian citizens (including native people
should be equal - and no more!
Copps Should Apologize
Dear Editor:
Canadian politics often involves a confrontational pro-
cess between opposing MPs. which leads to bitter
arguments and name calling. One of the most cantankerous
politicians is Sheila Copps, the deputy leader of the Liberal
Party. She has been known to get under the skin of a few op-
posing MPs, causing them to say things that later required
apologies in the House of Commons.
Not its Copp's turn to apologize. In her crusade to thwart
the staging popularity of the Reform Party, she has
declared that the party is as racist as David Duke. the
defeated candidate for Louisiana governor. It is slanderous
to compare Preston Manning and his Reform Party to
Duke, a former Ku Klux loan wizard, and fan of Adolf
Hitler.
Copps should apologize, not only to Maming and the
Reform Party. but also to the Canadian public for engaging
in such mudslinging and smear tactics, which may
characterize poltics south of the border. but are not
welcome in Canada.
Sincerely Yonas.
Jonathan Wray.

Threatening Free Speech
r,
Powerful Ottawa bureaucrats are threatening our
freedoms of speech and association during elections - the
most critical time of the democrabc process.
The Royal Commission m Electoral Reform recently
urged the government to jail citizens for up to two years it
they spend mom than X1.000 to support or oppose a political
party. candidate or a policy of theirs during a federal elec-
tion.
The proposed law also prohibits citizens from freely
associating with others to spend more than 11.000 to express
a political viewpoint.
This is sheer madness'
The bureaucrats on this commission, who obviously have
no understanding or love for freedom, want to create a clos-
ed shop for professional politicians.
Citizens who independently want to exercise their
freedoms of speech or association during federal elections
are being told: "shut up and get out of the way or we may
YotL
It is shameful that a Royal Commissim could make this
recon melndatim in Canada - a country which daims to
value freedom and democracy.
We urge any of your readers who cherish oto freedoms of
speech and association to tell their N[Ps to oppose these
dangerous recommendations.
In NO. all three political parties unanimously passed a
similar law. Bill C-169, which stifled citizens' freedom of
speech. Later, then Opposition Leader Brian Mulroney
apologized for his party's support of the bill. saying "we
were asleep at the switch".
Has Mr. Mulroney. now prime minister, woken up'
In 1984 The National Citizens' Coalition successfully
challenged this law in the carts and overturned it as un-
constitutional.
We shall mount a similar challenge if Prime Minister
Mulroney's government tries to violate our fundamental
freedoms by implementing these recommendations of the
Commission.
Yours truly,
David Summerville.
President.

Browes Praises Opening
Of Baltic Embassies
The Hoa. Pauline Btu rres, ALP. for Scarborou o Centre
and the Minister of State for the Envuvament, applauded
the recent announcements by Ede nal Affairs officially
opening the offices of the Canadian Embassy in Riga, Lat-
via: Tallinn, Estonia; ad Vilnius, L itlxuania. "I am pleas-
ed that Canada now has a presence in all three Baltic
States." said Browes.
The announcement will ensure that Canada continues to
bock up its pledges of support with concrete assistance, in-
cluding: 19 projects approved or wader way in Canada's
technical assistance program for the Baltic States (in-
ducting support under the Renaissance Eastern Europe
program to Canadian companies wanting to establish a
presence in the region) ; $l million in humanitarian aid to
be delivered by the Canadian Red Crass in March; and
negotiations that are underway on the Government of
Canada's conditional offer of $10 million Export Develop-
ment Corporation lines of credit to each of the Baltic States.
"Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia can count on Canada's
continued friendship." said Browes, .'Canada continues to
actively support the Baltic States' efforts to strengthen
their democratic institutions and implement economic
reforms."
Browes is a former chairman of the Canadian Parliamen-
tary Group for the Baltic Peoples. The Parliamentary
Group for the Baltic Peoples is comprised of over 40 Cana-
dian parliamentarians and was established in May of MW
as an all -party group to support freedom in Latvia, Estonia
Labour Law Reform Is
Wrong Priority Timing
By Michael Harris, MPP, Leader, Progressive Conser-
vative Pary of Ontario
The labour law reforms introduced by the NDP will do
nothing to create jobs in Ontario... do nothing to make us
more competitive and attract investment... and do nothing
to renew or strengthen the economy.
What they will do is increase the political and economic
power of the union bosses... and cement their support of the
NDP for the future.
That's great news for union leaders and New Democrat
politicians, but more bad news for everyone else.
Do you believe that someone looking for work cares
whether a union's leadership can brag of ten new
members?
Do you believe that someone hit by the 14 tax increases in
the NDP budget cares whether Bob Rae gets a bigger ration
donation next election?
Whose interests are they representing, if not their own?
The people looking for work want jobs ... and the people
with jobs want their governments to tax fairly and spend
wisely.
Where are the government plans to accomplish those
aims?
The time for developing those plans and changing govern-
ment priorities is running out. If taxes go any higher, the
flow of employment and investment out of Ontario will turn
into a flood.
We are starting into a downward spiral where taxes and
spending continue to increase while revenue and employ-
ment continue to decrease.
We have to act now, before we are trapped in that spiral.
It will mean reducing the size of government and the
amount of money it spends... spending smarter, and using
our existing resources to stimulate the economy... reducing
the tax burden on working people and on the small
blLSlnlS9l5 that create most of Ontario's jobs ... and creating
a climate that will welcome investment and job creation.
My caucus and I have called for a moratorium on
changes to the labour laws. The business community also
tried to warn the government of the disastrous effects of
this legislation, but the government refused to listen and in-
stead will give us the most radical labour laws in Nath
America.
The wish list of the union bosses was to increase the
power and size of their groups, and that is exactly what the
NDP proposes to do.
So, the people who create the jobs, who bring the invest-
ment dollars into Ontario, will be punished again.
This goverment has to learn that its top priorities should
be the crestiaa of jobs, opportunity, and hope for the future,
and that a union leader's agenda for labor reform is the
Neog priority at the wrong time.

Report From Parliament
from Tom Wappel
M.P. Scarborough West
Tom Wappel, M.P. for Scarborough West, commented on
the Conservative Government's 1992 Budget.
There are some positive measures in this budget. Among
them are:
1. The Home Buyers' Plan will free up Registered Retire-
ment Savings Plans' funds to help homebuyers purchase or
build a principal residence. This measure was recommend-
ed to the government by the liberal Party, among others.
2. The government will wort with the provinces to upgrade
our national highway system, thus improving land links
and providing jobs. This is a positive variation of a proposal
made by the liberal Party.
3. Elimination of the excise tax on the ethanol and methanol
portions of blended fuels that are mainly gasoline, thus pro-
moting environmentally friendly fuels, as suggested for
years now by the liberal Party.
4. The tax system will be revised to treat married couples in
the same way as common law couples. wasting tax disad-
vantages to the traditional family unit will be eliminated.
"I have been calling for this restoration of tax fairness
since I was elected," said Wappel.
"However, overall, this 8th Conservative Budget must be
judged a
ailure. It does nothing to promote the strong
economic (growth that this country needs. Unemployment
will remain unacceptably high for at least two more years.
For the 1.5 million unemployed Canadians, this budget of-
fers little comfort or relief," said Wappel.
The Budget p mmises reduced income taxes for all tax-
payers. But the reality is that after increasing our taus 33
times since 1984, the so-called reduced income tax cuts are,
in reality a art in tax surtax, which translates into a total
saving of a meagre $19 for a single taxpayer earning $30,000
per year and only S15 for a one -earner taxpayer couple with
two children. earning $30,000 per year. Thus, a family will
get a yearly tax saving of four dollars less than a single tax-
payer, from a government which says it is committed to
strengthening the family," continued Wappel.
"For seven years this government has claimed to be the
champion of deficit reduction. The reality is that in the
February 1990 budget, the government predicted that the
deficit would drop to 521 billet in 199¢-1993. it was wrong.
In the February 1991 budget, it predicted that the deficit
would be $24 billion in 1992-1993. It was wrong Now it is
predicting that the deficit will be SZ7.5 billion in I=-1993.
The deficit is now sitting at $31.4 billion after seven years of
tax increases, including the GST. Ask yourself, are you bet-
ter off today than you were in IM47" concluded Mr. Wap-

ON YOUR TOES:
Here's a question. Where
can one see and enjoy a
Stan Laurel strut, a moving
Rolls Royce hood (or
should we say bonnet?) or-
nament and distinctive
John Cranko choreography
all in one work? Here's the
answer: In the National
Ballet's new production
and Canadian Premiere of
The Taming of the Shrew.
This is the final third of
The National's tryptych of
Cranko full length ballets
(the others are Romeo and
Juliet and Onegin) and it's
a certifiable triumph.
Oh, one supposes that
there might *be outcries
from extreme groups who
will complain about its
rampant chauvinism but
they're the same groups
who would bowdlerize all of
Shakespeare, most of
Chaucer and much of
Dickens. Pay them no
heed. Simply attend and
enjoy Cranko and The Na-
tional in delightful and
mutually winning combina-
tion.
Now, we should explain
that opening paragraph.
The character Petruchio
is, on the face of it, essen-
tial insouciance. That
comes across the footlights
in immediate recognition
because of a signature
walk bequeathed by
choreographer Cranko. Its
a heel and toe motion com-
bined with swinging arms
and the rolling gait of a
sailor ... Stan Laurel with
grace.
In one of his dances with
Katherine. he holds her
between the knees and the
ankles while she swings
artward from him rather
like the hood ornament on a
Rolls Royce, and with the
same speed and elan
associated with that fine
automobile.
Distinctive Cranko
movements? Well, those
who have been pleasured
by his Romeo and Juliet
will recognize the high
kneed prance with the
thigh parallel to the ground
and the head tucked down
like in the manner of a shy
Mephisto (or a horny
devil). As well, there are
the jerky hip movements
that. in our burlesque days
we knew as bumps. And. all
of them are perfectly wedd-
ed to the music of Stolz
after Scarlatti.
Choreography is en fin,
the master to the dancers.
It remains though, that
good dancers can make it
look even better and in a
few instances subdue it to
themselves. That's what
happened on the evening of

Fourposter Tells Story Of 35 Years
by Frank Knight
Stage Centre Produc-
tions are somewhat dif-
ferent from the usual com-
munity theatre groups.
They eschew the contem-
porary and experimental
theatre and stay with the
tried and true classics of
drama and musicals.
Their production and ac-
ting standards are quite
high reaching even to their
front of house management
(my bone of contention
with most community
groups). So because of
their high standard I was
somewhat disappointed
with their latest production
"The Four Poster" by Jan
De Hartog currently play-
ing at the Fairview library
Theatre.
A romantic comedy, it is
a story of the marriage bet-
ween Michael and Agnes -a
chronical of life together
over 35 years. Revolving
around the marital bed, a
Fourposter, about the birth
of their children, quarrels,
money problems and love
told in a warm sentimental
style, sometimes tongue in
cheek, sometimes brassy
and bold.
This seems to be the pro-
blem, The actors, Brian
Kipping playing Michael
and Rita Lynham as
Agnes, appeared to have
problems finding their
level of characterization
between sentimentality
and boldness.

they had a lot of dialogue to
deliver which requires
shading and light. Mr. Kip-

Heather Wins Agricultural Museum Competition
Heather Ingram of Unionville stitched her way to SLOOo.
Her quilt won the Grand Champion title at the Ontario
Association of Agricultural Societies annual convention,
Feb. 111th in Toronto.
There were 15 champions representing Ontario Fair
districts. These finalists were selected from approximately
214 winners at local Agricultural Society Fairs across On -
tar to where over 3,000 quilts were entered.
Mrs. Iogram's winning quilt "Neild Rose", impressed the
Judges with its modern pattern rising traditional tectni-
ques. "I spent two years creating this quilt and I am
honoured that it has been chosen as Grand Champion," said
Mrs. Ingram. The quilt now becomes part of the existing
enbection at the museum.
The entire collection will be on display during the
museum's 1992 season, and will be highlighted during Coun-
try Quilt Fest '92, Aug 617. The museum is open to a.m. to 5
p.m. daily May 19th to Sept. 20th.
Riverdale Hospital Hosts Long Term Care Meeting
For some time now, the
Province of Ontario has
been examining the state of
bog -term care and what its
future will be.
Long-term cm encom-
passes a wide spectrum of
balth and social services.
But this is a system that
has been fragmetW and
under duress for 20 years.
It requires reform, and the
Government of Ontario's
answer to that has been the
development of the con-
sultation paper • Redirec-
ban of Long -Term Care
and Support Services in On-
tario".
While the creation of this
document indicates a
desire on the government's
part to help develop a bet-
ter and more cooperative
long-term care system, it is
one that has also raised
many r c - r P res for both the
providers and the people
rmceivimg that care.
"The most significant
thing about the consulta-
tion paper is that it doesn't
define the place of
hospitals - chronic or acute
- in the overall provision of
service," explains Susan
Robinson, vice president,
Administration Ser-
vices/ Ombudsman, The
Riverdale Hospital.
"Our concern is that the
government not alter the
capabilities of chronic carr

before doing a thorough
analysis of what the real
needs of the individuals re-
quiring long-term care are,
not only now, but in the
next ten years," she said.
Among the proposals
suggested in the consulta-
tion paper is increased fun-
ding for community ser-
vices and the provision of
greater support to family
caregivers while freezing
the number of beds in long-
term care facilities during
the next few years.
It also recommends co-
ordinating and integrating
long-term care services.
These service co-
ordination agencies will
become the key centres for
advice, assessment and
referral to long-term carr
services. As well, the paper
suggests the introduction of
funding, service and
eligibility standards to
remove regional
disparities in bog -term
care.
"There's no question in
our minds that we can,
through a reorganization of
long-term care in Ontario,
moire some people back in-
to the community with ap-
propriate mss, " says
Robinson. "But them will
always be people who will
require the more intensive
forms of medical
treatments provided in a
chronic care facility."
For The Riverdale
Hospital. this consultation
is particularly important.
With 784 beds, it is
Canada's largest
rehabilitation and chronic
care facility. For more
than 25 years, the hospital,
at Broadview and Gerrard
Sts. in Toronto, has provid-
ed complex, specialized
rehabilitation and
individually -tailored pro-
grams of care for patients
whose needs cannot be ade-
quately met elsewhere -
But the h *ty has been

redrwdoprrhen I for some
time. During the last ten
years. the hospital has
been involved in com-
prehensive discussions
with the Mk istry of Health
regarding its future.
And the ministry appears
to have recognized the
hospital's nheeek to move
forward with its plans. ask-
ing it to play a pivotal role
in the provincial bng-term
care reform.
"The question now
becomes whether the pro-
posed reforms might not

provision of long-term
care," says Robinson.
The Riverdale Hospital
has served Toronto for

we are very concerned its
future is currently at risk. "
To address these con-

Colts Soccer Team Is
Undefeated In Tournament
The 1992 Centennial Col-
lege Colts Indoor Soccer
team went undefeated at
the O.C.A.A. Region 1
Men's Indoor Soccer Quali-
fying tournament, held on
Feb. 21-22, at Centennial
College's Progress DEL
Gym.
The six team tourna-
ment, consisting of George
Brown, Humber, St.
Lawrence (Kingston), St.
Lawrence (Cornwall),
Sheridan and Centennial,
played a round robin for-
mat with the top three
teams advancing to the
O.0 -AA. Championships,
Mar. 27-29, in Kitchener
(Conestoga College).
Centennial opened up the
tournament against
George Brown. The Colts
played well with points by
Perry Donaldson and
Audley Taffe to take the
opener 2-0. The next game
saw Centennial defeat St.
Lawrence (K) letting the
ball do the work, the Colts
made short work of
Kingston and won handily
3.0.
Last year's M. V.P.
Frank Cardona, Rob
Sainovski and Audley Taffe
hit pay dirt for the winners.
The Colts success con-
tinued on Saturday with a
supreme team effort,
soundly beating St.
Lawrence (C) 7-0. On the
score board for Centennial
were Behrot z Khabbazi (3
goals), Robert Sainovski
with 2 points, and singles
by Frank Cardona and Vito
Doria.
Centennial then proceed-
ed to face a tough Sheridan
side, and although the
score was 4-2 in favour of
the Colts, Centennial had to
be on their toes. The
marksmen for Centennial
were Rob Sainovski with 2
goals, Frank Cardona and
Vito Doria.
In the Colts grand finale
of the tournament. arch
rivals Humber took on the
:squad in a rugged game.
Craig Mclnall pat Centen-
nial ahead on a well taken
first half goal- As expected,
Humber did not quit and
fought back to be the score
midway throughout the se-
cond half.
In dramatic fashion,
Celts Jim Allan scored a
cracker jack.. of a goal to
win the game 2-1 for
Centennial. As always, the
Centennial goalkeeping
tandem of Joe Nucifora
and Rob Gold were ex-
cellent in the tournament.
The most valuable player
of the tournament (as pick-
ed by the coaches) was
Chris Sawyer (St.
Lawrence, Kin%¢ton) .

During the dark days of
February and March, Em and I
and the kids start to get cabin
fever. TDere we were the other
night, once again wrangling
over which reran to watch when
Em looked at me and shouted,
'Home show!'
I thought she'd ntally snapped
her twig this time, but then I got
it. We really like to go and poke
around home shows, and what
else is there to do in March,
anyway? For once, too, we had
something to spend, thanks to
Em's nephew Garnet. Garnet
recently won a nice chunk of
cash in a lottery and at Christ-
mas time gave us a cbeque to
spend as we liked.
Of course, before we got in the
door the money was gone. Em
wanted new bathroom fixtures.
Kyle and Belinda voted for a
jacuzzi bathtub and sauna. I
thought we should really use the
money to repave the driveway.
The kids, needless to say, were
in agony. "Bathroom fixtures???
What are bathroom fixtures???"
cried Kyle. "PAVE the DRIVE-
WAY?" yelled Belinda
Well, to make a long story
short, we ended up buying a
new range. We sent Kyle and
Belinda off to the coffee shop to
get over their grief as we sorted
out the fine details. As with our
other appliances, we checked
the Energuide label on a few
models to get an idea of how
much energy they used. We also
learned that self-cleaning ranges
may be more expensive, but
they have extra insulation,
which also makes them ten to
15 per cent more energy-effr-
aieat for be fag.
I also picked up a pamphlet
from The Hydro that had k)t,, of
energy-saving tips for range ,:_
For example. keeping the oven
clean lets it operate at maximum
efficiency, and also keeps the
temperature more accurate.
Preheating isn't necessary for
most roasts and casseroles, and
ruing the broiler to cook meals
will also save energy. Use your
microwave oven, toaster oven or
skew cooker for smaller quann-
ties of food, and when you brake
with glass or ceramic utensils,
lower the temperature by 1400
(25T). And don't forget, your
food will cook faster if you put
a lid on the pot!
When we left the home show
the kids dragged their heels
behind us and Em whispered,
"Oh, Phil, look at them! Come
on, let's tell them now!" I tossed
the car keys to Belinda and
asked her to put some packages
in the car trunk. 71bbat is," I said,
"if you can fund room beside
your new skates." Belinda pick-
er her chin up off the ground
long enough to see the brand-
new rollerblade skates we'd
bought for her and Kyle with
part of Garnet's gift.
It's true that money can't buy
the most important things in
life, but the look on the kids'
faces was worth every nickel we
spent on those darned things!
This newspaper, in conjunc-
tion with Ontario Hydro, is
bringing you Phil's Basement
to help "bring home" ideas on
how to save energy. To receive
the brochure "Choosing and
Using Appliances the Energy
Efficient Way", call Ontario
Hydro at 1-800-263-9000 and
tell thews Phil sent you.

sive and versatile. They
can be steamed, pan fried,
glazed, or added to stews.
They provide 50 calories

tain the best flavour, steam
then in their skins and
then peel.
Garlic TIPS eft Pointers
Storing fresh garlic
should be simple but often
cooks are confronted with
sprouting or moldy garlic.
Garlic keeps best stored
uncovered in a cool, dry,
well ventilated place. Hang
garlic braids in a cool place
away from bright light.
Don't refrigerate as it en-
courages sprouting. Ever
have your garlic in your
home-made pickles turn
blue or purple? Don't
worry, it's just colourless
pigments in the garlic that
become coloured when
they come in contact with
the vinegar.
FROM THE PRODUCE
HOTLINE
Think you've heard it
all? Test your fruit and
veggie IQ. See if you know
the answers to some of the
following questions the
Fresh For Flavour FouR'1-
dation has been asked an
its Produce Hotline.
Q. Why is my avocado
black inside?
A. Avocados turn black
around the seed when they
get too cold during ripen-
ing. While unattractive to
look at, they are safe to eat.
Q. Can you freeze bean
0
Ar Item's not recommended
because they will turn to
mush.
Q. Are radish tops edible?
A. yes, they can be used as
a salad green or as a cook-
ed green such as spinach.
Their flavour will be quite
Q. Which fresh fruits
should not be added to
gelatin dishes?
A. Do not add fresh pineap-
ple, papaya and kiwi fruit
to dishes that contain
gelatin. They all contain
enzymes which break down
gelatin and other proteins.
Canned pineapple can be
added to gelatin mixtures
because the enzyme is in-
activated during the cann-
ing per.
Q. I stored my acorn
squash in the basement and
it turned yellow. Why did
this happen and is it safe to
eat?
A. Your basement was too
warm to store acorn
squash. The colour change
usually occurs several
weeks after harvest if the
squash is stored at too
warm a temperature. As
long as the squash Isn't
moldy it is safe to eat,
however, the flesh may be
stringy in texture.

Garlic TIPS eft Pointers
Storing fresh garlic
should be simple but often
cooks are confronted with
sprouting or moldy garlic.
Garlic keeps best stored
uncovered in a cool, dry,
well ventilated place. Hang
garlic braids in a cool place
away from bright light.
Don't refrigerate as it en-
courages sprouting. Ever
have your garlic in your
home-made pickles turn
blue or purple? Don't
worry, it's just colourless
pigments in the garlic that
become coloured when
they come in contact with
the vinegar.

it turned yellow. Why did
this happen and is it safe to

OLIVE OIL ... A HEALTHY WAY TO
CELEBRATE HEART MONTH!
Someone once observed, that to
be more than ten minutes ahead of
one's time is to be WAY TOO
EARLY. Now• this may be true in
some cases, but there are times
when being ahead of the pack is a
very good thing.
Consider olive oil, for example.
For hundreds of generations this
noble oil was revcrcd for its taste.
versatility and restorative powers.
Kings were anointed with it while
merchants traded it as tbcy would
gold.
Fine then.... tastes great, ver-
satik,... good alternative to regular
oil or butter.... end of story, right"
Wrong! Along about the early 80's,
we started to become increasingly
more dict -conscious. Terms like
"Fat Free" and "Cholesterol
Count" became part of our every-
day vocabulary. And gucss what?
The world discovered that olive
oil, the longtime cornerstone of the
Mediterranean cuisine, was the
right choice for those concerned
with maintaining a more healthy
lifestvle.
Throe and again, studies have
shown that olive oil, high in moo-
ounsatured fats (the good kind),
not only helps to lower serum
cholesterol, but it also has a benefi-
cial effect on blood pressure and
blood sugar levels.
How's that for a little good
news... and just when you thought
you knew everything you needed
to know about olive oil!
February is Heart Month, and
what better way to honour the oc-
casion than with a heart -smart
recipe featuring health -friendly
olive oil. Now when it comes to
that precious emerald liquid. no
one is more knowledgeable than
Bertolli... the world's best selling
olive oil, and to help us out this
week they've sent along a very
special recipe indeed.
Bertolli Olive Oils are the best
selling because Bertolli takes the
with Lise O'Brien
time to p-oducc onlN the finest.
Extra % irgin, with its distinct
robust flavour. Classico, that world
famous all purpose oil. and of
course, Bertolli Extra Light, with
its subtle nature. are perfect for so
many great recipes... you'll want to
try each one. And here's a delicious
way to get started...
BERTOLLI'S ROASTED

OLIVE OIL
LEGEND AND LORE
Legend tells us that olive oil was
prized as a mystical and cosmetic
wonder. In ancient times, it was an
essential ingredient in many po-
tions and appeared in folklore
throughout the Mediterranean.
Today, many people continue the
ancient practice of using olive oil
as a conditioner for the hair, skin
and cuticles. Perhaps it's a mois-
turizing secret worth trying.
wm Rend Soetens, M.P.
The federal government has received a clear message
sent by Canadians. The message? Cut government speo-
cling!
Don Mazankowski, on behalf of the federal government,
recently addressed this demand by unveiling a bill entitled
the "Spending Control Act." This bill puts a ceiling on
government program spending for each of the next five
years. It also fulfills the government's commitment to
reduce the deficit and control taxes. For the first time in
history, we have introduced legislation that will make it il-
legal for a government to overspend on programs.
Through my own consultations with you, my constituents,
I have received a similar message. Whether during debates
,on the GST, open discussion during my Vox Pop Forums,
or other platforms where you have made your ideas clear,
the demand for controlled government spending was un-
mistakable. Clearly, high levels of government spending
leads to high levels of taxation, deficits and vast public
debts. The fact that the growth of the debt since 198445 is
entirely the result of compound interest in the original debt
- the debt that we inherited from the government before us -
matters little now. It must be paid down.
This bill will eventually be used in conjunction with the
Debt Servicing and Reduction Account - a government bill
that steers all revenue into an account to pay off the deficit.
As Canada's economy begins its upswing, as indicated by
many national economic organizations, government
revenues will continue to grow. However, government
spending will not be increased accordingly. as this bill will
be in effect for at least five years- The surplus government
revenues will be put against the deficit and. in time, against
the public debt.
This legislation is proof positive of the federal govern-
ment's commitment to spending control and debt reduc-
tion. Though we have been exercising strict spending
restraint over the past eight years, this bill will help to ac-
complish even more.
