February 10 199:; Opinion a page for expression for you and us New Gag Law Proposed Electoral (:ag law Would Stifle Media A proposed electoral gag law now before federal cabinet would prohibit most media from supporting or opposing political parties or candidates during elections, says The National Citizens' Coalition. "This gag law would prohibit newspapers• television and radio stations from incurring more than $1000 of expense during an election to directly support or oppose a political party or candidate." says NCC president David Somerville. "This gag law would effectively prohibit most of the media from exercising their freedom of speech during elec- tions by endorsing - or otherwise - political parties. No more ringing editorials or columns, no more feisty talk show hosts or commentators, fearlessly stating their views," he says. "We fully expect the media to be outraged by this attempt to muzzle ihem." Somerville says. "We fully expect them to defend not only their freedom of speech btd also the freedom of speech of Canadian citizens .across the land." he concluded. Wording Of The Electoral Gag law The proposed law defines "advertising" as "any notice, article or illustration, which may include pictures or text purb]ished or shown in any media. including but not limited to electronic media. and periodical publications and shall also include notices• articles• illustrations, newspaper and tike publications designed for mass distribution." The proposed lav►• then defuses "advertising expense" as meaning " I a I amounts paid and I b) liabilities incurred for the production. publication. broadcast. and mass distribu- tion of any advertising. for the purpose of promoting or op posing. directly and during an election. a particular registered party. or the election of a particular candidate." The proposed law further reads: "(1) Every person. other than ( a ) a candidate. official agent or any other per- son acting on behalf of a candidate with the candidate's ac- tual knowledge and consent. or I b I a registered agent of a registered party act lg within the scope of his authority or any other person acting on behalf of a registered party with the actual knowledge and consent of an officer thereof. who, between the date of the issue of the writ for an election and the day immediately following polling day, incurs advertis- ing expemec in excess of $1,000 is guilty nf an offence...

"Well - priced homes for sale in good locations are becoming scarcer and selling faster than in the past." "However•" he says.

Federal Liberals Launch Election Reform Package Liberal Leader Jean Chretien has unveiled a comprehen- sive package for reforming Canada's political institutions, including major reforms to the House of Commons and changes to the Canada Elections Act. "Canadians feel alienated from their political institu- tions." said Chretien. "and they want to restore integrity to them. They have had enough of the abuses of Parliament and the arrogance of government. That's why we are pro- posing these reforms to make individual MPs more rele- vant. the House of Commons more open and responsive• and elections more fair." Said David Dingwall. the Liberal House Leader and Chre- tien's point -man on the reform package: -We want to make the government process more transparent. Currently it's all deals and bartering made behind closed doors with bureaucrats or at the cabinet table. We want to provide a window into those backrooms - to make the government more accountable to the people of Canada. And we want the elected representatives - the men and women who sit in the Parliament of Canada - to have a greater say." The highlights of the 18 -point report "Reviving Parliamentary Democracy'% announced by Chretien. Dingwall, Liberal Whip Alfonso Gagliano• Peter Milliken and Don Boudria, the party's Assistant House Leaders: Giving backbench NIPS a greater role in shaping legisla- tion, liberals want Commons committees to help draft legislation before it is introduced in the House - currently legislation originates almost exclusively from the bureaucracy. Also in contrast to the current system, the committee process would be broadcast. with "bvists and interest groups forced to make their cases in public. More free votes in the Commons. Liberals feel that MPs should be allowed free votes on a greater number of issues. In particular. the-, want SiPs to be able to exercise this im- portant right on most opposition days.

Scarborough West I want to clear up the misunderstandings about incomne taxes reported in many media. Ninety per cent 190% I of On- tar'ians. likely including you. will pay no more combined I federal provincial) Income tax for 1993 than you did for 1991 as a result of our 1992 budget 1 1 The $53.000 surtax trigger reported for 1992 may nerd clarification. $53.mo is only the trigger for the person who cimms absolutely no deductions. other than the basic per- sonal deduction. Most people have deductions for pension plan contributions. RRSIN. child care, tax credits for dependents. etc. The real trigger is: only people who pay more than $5.500 in Ontario income tax will play any surtax - and. even then. the surtax applies only to the Ontario in- come tax above $5.500. For example, with deductions of $5.000 for company pen- sion pian or RRSP and union dues: a married couple with one earner and two children wouldn't pay Ontario surtax until $65.000 incorne: a married couple with two childrew both working with equal incomes and one claiming child care expenses. wouWb*t pray Ontario surtax tw" $120,000 income. And. even for that top 10% of income earners. even if you were a few thousand dollars above the trigger point. you would only pay about S2 per week. or $120 more per year. 21 Yes. we did increase everyone's Ontario incomre taxes by the amount that the federal governmemt decreased your income tax. We did this because the federal government has been walking away from paying its share of programs like health care, education and social assistance. This year alone they have left us to pay for $4.5 billion of their share of those pro- grams. We are introducing changes to greatly increase the efficiency of these programs, but there is no w•av to make up for $4.5 billion of federal cuts without more revenue. We felt that the fairest way to do this was by the surtax on only the top 10% of income earners - and by recapturing these federal tax decreases. Unfortunately, the federal decreases won't be fully effective until 1993. so there is a lag between our increase and their decrease. In our pre -budget consultations. Ontarians told us they are willing to pay to protect essential services. But we are determined that taxes be fair. An example of our changes is the following net impact• for this year only, for a married couple. one earner, with two children: $20.00 annual income - $25 tax reduction: Sr).0u0 annual income - $� tax reduc- tion: $30.000 annual income - approx. 60 cents week tax in- crease: 510.000 annual income - approx. $1 week tax in- crease. (Note: the increases are progressive as income rises I . Anyone interested in greater detail should call me at FW467 for a full guide to our 1992 budget. Queen's Park Report Elinor Caplan M.P.P. Oriole There are a number of disturbing developments at the Workers' Compensation Board that raise questions about the provincial government's ability to manage this large in- stitution. Question Number 1: At a time when hundreds of thousands of square feet of empty office space in downtown Toronto is renting for bargain basement prices• why is the government allowing the WCB to go ahead with plans to build a $180 -million 30 -storey office tower in the city' Question Number 2: At a time when students need train- ing, why is the government allowing the WCB to proceed with a proposal that threatens up to 70,000 student placements? WCB coverage for student placements and volunteers has been in place since last September, but employers have not been required to pay premiums - yet. The WCB is prospos- ing to require these premiums beginning July 1, 1993, which will cost employers $8 million. Many employer groups say they will not accept students in training programs beginn- ing July 1 because they won't be able to afford the premiums. The WCB proposal has hit the health care sector par- IicWariy hard. For example. Laurentian Hospital in Sud- bury trains 200 student nurses per year. Hospital officials calculate they will have to pay the WCB $900 per student per year, a total of $180,000. Hospitals can't afford it, par- ticularly since the government broke its commitment to in- crease base funding for hospitals by two per cent in 1993-94. Question Number 3: Why is the WCB charging employers up to $8 million to cover student placements . Since ther new policy took effect last September, only one student has filed a WCB claim. In other words. the system under which insurance policies cover injuries to students would appear to be working. This new WCB proposal looks sur p ewisly like a government revenue grab from employers. 7hese first three questions lead to a fourth: when is the government gang to show some common sense and tell the WCB to scrap its pians for an expensi ve new building and to cancel the proposal that threatens student job training' went expenditures. The liberals call for expenditure plans to be reviewed by Commons committees before they ae tabled, rather than at the end of the process. This would allow government to take recommendations ofMPs into ac- count and would result in Jess partisan haggling. hwolving MPs in an effective pre -Budget process. Cur- rently, the pre -Budget process is conducted behind closed - doors, with hard -picked participants. Liberals want pre - Budget process out of the backroorns. with pre -Budget hearings held by an appropriate committee of MPs. with an open, public process. Giving MPs rnorrr time to discuss Constituent grievances in the House. The current mechanism for reflecting corssti;- tuents' views in Parliament, the 15 minutes a day allotted to MPs' statements is inadequate. Liberals want to open up the process and also allow for special debates. lirniitiinug the role of special interest groups in elections. Liberals want tough spending limits on single issue or special interest groups in elections - to ensure their in- fluence is not permitted to distort the democratic electoral system. The Liberals also want fairer broadcast rules for new and smaller political parties. Closing looploles in election spending. Currently. the costs of polling and direct mail by political parties and can.. didates are not subject toetection spending limits. Liberals want to close this loophole which, Chretien says. '-makes a mockery of the law". Reforming Questions Period. Liberals want the daily question period made more effective and relevant. They recommend such changes as imposing strict time -limits on questions and answers. Encouraging women candidates. Liberals want higher reimbursement of elections expenses for parties that elect large numbers of women MPs in the next election, to en- courage the candidacies and election of women in the next election. Chretien stressed that a greater role for parliamentary committees would not lead to the legislative gridlock that has paralysed Washington. "We did not throw out the baby with the bath water," he said. "Under these proposals, the government would still be responsible for matters affecting taxation, and would still be able to initiate legislation on urgent matters." Milliken, the liberal representative on the Commons Electoral Reform Committee, said that it was high time to make Canadian elections fairer: "We've got to cut the loopholes and abuses that give politics and politicians a bad name. We want the overall system to be fairer. These pro- posals would accomplish that." 1993 Will Be A Great Year Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

February 10, 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds oN ti('REEN:ONE One has had a long and, until now, unexpressed quasi -proprietorial interest in Kiefer Sutherland. His grandfather Tommy Douglas was one of the few politicians one could find it in the heart to admire. His mother. handsome actress Shirley Douglas can still reduce us to jelly each time we meet. His father. Donald Sutherland was a school mate in the Maritimes of one of our sisters-in-law. Oh yes. %%v also envy the young man's ability to have someone like the gorgeous Julia Roberts hotting after him. Yet. one prides in sug- gesting that none of the foregoing has been influen- tial in our belief that we have vet to see him deliver an unsatisfactory perfor- mance. The opinion continues after seeing him in The Vanishing. a tight thriller from 20th Century Fox that could be the year's first sleeper due. in no small measure. to his fine perfor- mance. On a motor trip with his girl friend. he stops at a service station and the young lady absents herself to purchase some refreshments. Site doesn't cane back. she vanishes quite literally in the State of Washington's thin air. 7lte audience is aware that the disap- pearance vanishing has something to do with an enigmatic character por- trayed by Jeff Bridges but doesn't know what he has done with and or to her. Three years go by while Sutherland devote% himself to f imhng her but another love enters his life He then realizes. or purports to. that the search must end. When it does. Bridges then enters his life to taunt him with the knowledge of his existence and perhaps. end the mystery of the vanishing At that point, the film descends into straight ac- tion melodrama but even that's sustained at a legitimate level by the fine under stated acting of Kiefer Sutherland. It's even more so when com- pared with the acting of Jeff Bridges. The latter has proven himself a fine actor in the past but rmu !ha' he•s nr the threshold of middle age -and showing it' -he seems determined to make himself into a character ac- tor. He might still make it but first, he must never again attempt an accent Without a decent dialect coach and he should realize that eccentricity is not the same as incipient dotage. There's a nice perfor- mance by Nancy Travis as his feisty second love but the film belongs to young Sutherland. What happened to the young lady who vanished' You'll have to see the film to find out. ADDITIONAL ('RF:DIT*%: It seems that The Vanishing is a remake of the 1968 film by the same director. George Sluizer. The original is scheduled. as we go to press, for view- ing this Saturday on Chan- nel 19.

February 10, 1993 THE POST Page 7 from Ottawa with Rene Soetens, M.P. Last week's ruling by the United States Department of Commerce, which determined that Canada was guilty of dumping certain steel products (selling at a lower price than in their home market) was certainly a disappoint- ment. As International Trade Minister Michael Wilson stated. "trade remedy action like this makes no commer- cial sense and is an obstacle to the conclusion of a bilateral steel accord." Canada -U.S. steel trade has been and continues to be mutually beneficial to both countries. Since the Free Trade Agreement, an integrated steel market has emerged in both countries. Canadian steel exports to the U.S. were valued at S1.5 billion in 1991 (almost 60% of total Canadian steel exports. In 1992. that figure increased to 75%). And this was at a time when other countries' share of the U.S. market had dropped significantly, ice versa. U.S. steel ex- ports to Canada have grown to $$50 million a year and represent 25% of total U.S. steel exports. This generates employment in both countries. And that cs why industry and the government must pursue the objective of concluding a steel accord with the U.S. Although the recent ruiling was frustrating, the tariffs im- posed were less than expected - about 3% 1 the 69% number repeatedly quoted in the media was on one product at one company 1. This was less than the tariffs imposed on the Other 18 countries. What is disconcerting is the reaction of free trade opponents. who called for the government to retaliate and claimed that the agreement wasn't working. Retaliation would be imprudent and would just serve to hinder an agreement that clearly is woriung. The Globe and Mail spelled this out in a trcent editorial. In it. they explain how• the Free Trade Agreement eliminatednumerous barriers to trade. Just four years into its 10,year implementation phase. the Free Trade Agree- ment has already greatly increased two -way -trade. 95% of wtach is conducted with no disputes whatsoever This steel dispute represents 10% of the production of one industry. and it is from this that opponents call to scrap the deal. The deal also gives Canada an edge over other countries in deal- ing with disputes with the U.S The Dispute Settkrnent mechanism ensures a fair Fearing before a binational panel. Instead of using the reactionary and outdated method of retaliation. we can rely on a fair hearing of our case. And instead of abolition of the deal, wtuchh makes no sense. we must continue to strengthen this unique relationship by resolving this issue and fortifying the bilateral steel accord.

Ottenbreit All For New Park The newly expanded park in the Rouge Vallev shows that other people are coming to appreciate what Scarborough Fast has to of - fer, NUP candidate Doug (Xienbreitsays. "This decision proves what those of to who live here have been saying all along that the Rouge should be preserved not on- ly for Its splendid, natural beauty but because it's the right thing to do, en- vironmentally speaking. "This is a great day for the people of Scartwrol g East This new parkland will be a source of 1Ov and pleasure, and the decision leaves in place far more prime agricultural land than would have been possible under the deal struck by the previous Liberal government. "Acrd it also puts to rest, once and for all. any talk of extending Lawrence Avenue East." The provincial NDP government has announced an expansion of the park in the Rouge Valley, which borders Scarborough East. The expansion -to a total of 11,000 acres -makes the Rouge the largest provin- cially run park in Ontario. This is in addition to the protection of 8,000 acres of prime farm alnd. But Ottenbreit says the deal to increase the size of the park also points to yet another failing of the federal government. "1'm left wondering where Ottawa's commit- ment is," he says "The Tories were supposed to ante up a share of the fun- ding for this park, but the money' is nowhere to be seen.

Many parents and educators are concern- ed that this experiment is being carried out without either adequate research or consultation. To find out more infor- mation, concerned citizens are invited to attend a public community meeting, sponsored by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation of Scarborough on Tues. Feb. 16th from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Agincourt Collegiate, 2621 Midland Ave. A panel of parents and teachers will outline pro- posed changes, raise significant concerns and respond to your questions.

Foremost is thr fa -t thaf thr I►ntarin Ministry is implementing these changes without meaningful input from the Public. Many parents are concerned. Chartland Public School parent, Mrs. Wang, fears that "The quality of the en- tire education system, in- cluding the post -secondary one, will suffer, which will eventually threaten the livelihood of the people of Ontario." Doug Henry, President of District 16, thinks that more research is needed before any changes are contemplated in grade 9 or ,beyond. According to Mr. Henry. "Teachers want a thorough evaluation of the results of the changes cur- rently in progress in Scar - rough's rive pilot schools before proceeding en masse with unproven con- cepts...

According to John Pluscsauskas, Principal at Sir William Osler High School and one of the panelists on Feb. 16th, "We must carefully examine the impact of restructuring on programs for special needs students. " The major concern is why the Minister of Educa- tion is proceeding so hasti- ly with destreaming and restructuring. The NDP is now considering setting up a commission to examine the future direction for education. Why not delay destreaming and other ma- jor changes until the com- mission reports" "Students' futures are too improtant to gamble on an untried, unproven and underprepared Govern- ment initiative," says Liz Barkley, President, provin- cial OSSTF.
