Hooray For 2 MPs
by Bob Watson
Well we must give praise to the two Alberta MPs who
would not give their votes in Parliament to the passage of
the GST law (Goods and Service Tax) even though they
were threatened with expulsion from the Progressive Con-
servative Party if they didn't vote the way the Prime
Minister had dictated.
Our uninformed prime minister then came on television
to say that they had not voted for this money bill and so
under British parliamentary tradition they had to be expell-
ed. Well. Mr. Mulroney is not very well informed about
tradition - or about democracy. Every member of Parlia-
ment is supposed to represent his or her constituents, not
the leader of his or her party. And in the mother of
Parliaments over in Britain. members of the Prime
Minister's party often vote against the party's stand and
they are not required to leave the party because of that
stand.
In the United States congress, members of the two parties
frequently cross party lines to vote and rarely does
everyone in the same party vote the same!
Mr. Mulroney obviously doesn't believe in democracy nor
does he understand British tradition. All he seems to
believe in is his right to pass laws regardless of the public's
sentiment.
Over 80% of voters in Canada are against the GST and for
very good reasons. It would be the most expensive tax to
collect in our history and already Muroney's gang is hiring
2000 civil servants at a cost of $2 billion to handle the
rebates which are going to dribble back to Canadians for
one reason or another.
In the meantime private enterprise and especially small
business. will be paying out in man howl about $5 billion to
collect this idiotic tax. All prices and services will cost most
because of the tax and the extra costs to business to handle
it will be transferred to the cost of goods and services. If the
government had added just 5% to the current income tax.
there would have been no extra costs to the collection of
either government or private enterprise and the govern-
ment would have had the money to pay off some of the na-
tional debt.
However. the Mulroney government is still spending
money on groups to get their votes. dishing out money as if
it were easy to balance the budget at Ottawa. Then there is
the Bank of Canada leader who thinks that by increasing
the bunk rate he can solve everything' Instead he is
creating less sales for cars and houses in the marketplace
and making homes unaffordable to the average consumer.
What we need is a 6% interest rate which woWd help all con-
sumers and lower the cosi of the government's debt. The
answer is so easy to all of our problems but politicians like
Brian Mulroney and Michael Wilson just haven't got any
sensible ideas on how to do it.
It is time for all Canadians to do the un -Canadian thing
and rise up in anger and express it to these out -of -touch -
with -reality politicians. Let's rise up and fight the federal
government - NOW'

Mar. 26th for a dinner and presentation, marking the kick-
off of this new direction for the hospital's maternity ser-
vices.
"Combined Care" allows for one nurse to look after both
the mother and the baby. This is in contrast to the current
procedure at Scarborough General Hospital where dif-
ferent nurses care for the parent and her sibling. The new
method is aimed at improving the co-ardination and com-
prehensiveness of maternity care, while it also represents
an important advancement in the support of a family
centered environment.

Freedom Of Language
Dear Mr. Editor:
'English only' is the same thing as 'French only' sign
laws. Both are reactionary. It conjures up an image of two
chidlrenn, each clutching his own toy, each unwilling to
share with the other. I think Canadians are bigger than
that. The issue demands that reason prevail.
The controversy does. however, provide an opportunity to
ask our parliament - once again - to revamp our Official
Languages Act.
It should be abundantly clear to Ottawa by now (as it is
indeed to average Canadians), that language cannot be
legislated_ It should be equally clear, that they can't
legislate tolerance.
There is a third option - much better than 'only' laws - or
official bilingualism . . a third option which not only
recognizes Canada's multi-ethnic heritage, but it's also
Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms states clearly that
Canadians are guaranteed "freedom of expression". Com-
mon sense would tell us that our laws should reflect this.
Common sense should tell us what we need is a Freedom of
Language Act. (Instead, we have 'official bilingualism'
with a burgeoning bureaucracy to promote it.
Freedom is cheap. It offers recognition only, and all the
freedom necessary to use whatever language we so choose.
It does not impose. It does not hyphenate Canadians. It does
not bequeath official status. It offers equal opportunity. It is
unequivocably just and fair. It is toleant. It is easily
understood. And - it requires no bureaucracy - it casts
nothing to promote.
Governments should not try to legislate language. It is a
freedom. Canadians should demand nothing less than that
our laws reflect that.
I want to hear from Canadians who agree. Together we
can ask Ottawa to apply a little old-fashioned common
sense to a volatile issue. In the Canadian tradition, we the
people, should not expect Ottawa to come to its senses on its
own. I am willing to start the ball roUing. I want to hear
from you. My address is: "FREEDOM", Betty Maxwell,

Dear Sir
The latest budget of Prime Minister Mulroney's govern-
ment, like its five preceding budgets, is a failure.
We should not feel relief that the latest budget didn't in-
crease taxes. Mr. Mulroney's government has increased
taxes 33 times in the past five years! It's high time the line
was held on taxes.
In fact, taxes have probably been increased indirectly by
foisting part of the tax burden onto the provinces. We'rethe
people who get taxed in the end, whether the hand in our
pocket comes from the federal or provincial governments.
Mr. Mulroney's government should have led by example
by ending the unlimited indexing of pensions for MPs and
federal civil servants. It should have stopped wasting
billions of our tax dollars on foreign governments and
thousands of special interest groups.
The temporary, illusory or one-time cuts that are in the
budget will not affect the structure of government
overspending.
Privatizing Petro -Can was a welcome move but the
government should have gone even further and sold off
other Crown Corporations like the CBC and Canada Post.
Finally. the budget did not respond to the overwhelming
opposition to the Goods and Services Tax. Instead of impos-
ing this tax on Canadians, the government should hold a na-
tional referendum on the issue.
:fir. Mulroney's government had yet another opportunity
in this budget to set our country on a healthy course.
Tragically, the prime minister lacked either the vision or
the courage to do so.
We are all the losers for it.
Yours truly
David Somerville

OHIP Cards Soon
Starting this spring, new individual health numbers, on
plastic cards, will be provided to every bona fide resident of
Ontario, Health Minister Elinor Caplan has announced.
Health coverage, including Ontario Drug Benefits, will
remain the same, but everyone will eventually need the
new health card with its io-digit number, as old OHIP paper
cards and numbers are phased out.
"Ibe introduction of this new card means people's health
needs will be better served,.. Elinor Caplan said. "A per-
sonal number is the key to reliable records that no kxtger
need to be changed as people grow up, leave home, switch
jobs, marry or divorce, raise families or retire.
Individual cards also mean improved confidentiality.
Under the premium -driven, family -based system, several
people might use the same number but only persons paying
premiums could be contacted by the health ministry. This
put at risk the maintenance of confidentiality for other
family members.
The cards are part of the health ministry's modernization
and consolidation of all its information systems. The
overhaul should provide savings of more than $1.5 billion
over 10 years, with 10 percent of that amount resulting from
use of the new health cards.
Following this year's initial registration, newborns and
new residents will be added as they arrive. Each person's
health number will be assigned for life. Eventually, that
one number will provide access to all health programs and
services. Its common use by hospitals and other inssbtu-
tx s, most of which now issue their own cards and main-
tain large client registries, will reduce their administration
costs.
Since residency in Ontario must be established in order to
obtain the new health card, both fraudulent and uninten-
tional use of Ontario health benefits by non-residents will be
curtailed. Registration kits will be mailed to every
household in the province, over a two-week period beginn-
ing Apr 17.
Disagrees With Replacing GST
Dear Sir:
I read with great interest your column on the proposal by
Mr. Neil Brooks to replace the proposed G.S.T. by an in-
crease in income tax rates.
Mr. Brooks, of course, confirms that the existing Federal
Sales Tax must be eliminated.
The actual reality of Mr. Brooks' presentation to the
Finance Committee indicates that all personal income tax
payers would have to pay 15% more taxes. This includes all
low and moderate income tax payers as well. There would
be no assistance for these people like the G.S.T. credits that
will, in fact, assist low income Canadians to be better off.
Mr. Brooks study makes no mention of the reduced
economic activity because of a reduction in investment ac-
tivity because of the increase in taxes. Of course, the G.S.T.
will, in fact, encourage investment .. exactly the opposite
of the Brooks plan.
Neither the N.D.P. nor the Liberal Party were prepared
to endorse this proposal and 1, for one wouldn't support an
increase in income taxes nor would your readers.

Guidelines for installation
of condom machines
established
The board established
guidelines for the installa-
tion of condom dispensing
machines in secondary
schools. Two machines will
be installed in North York's
20 secondary schools at an
estimated cost of $12,000.
The condom - which must
meet Board and North
York Board of Health stan-
dards for quality - will be
sold at a price to recover
the cost of the machines,
product, and maintenance.
The dissemination of ap-
propriate literature to
parents, students,
teachers, and ad-
ministrators was also ap-
proved.
Director to review Secon-
dary School report cards
The board asked the
Director of Education to
review the effectiveness of
the method of reporting
student achievement at the
secondary school level and
report back to the board in
April.
Strategic Plan to be unveil-
ed in March
A strategic plan for
North York Schools which
has been developed to res-
pond to the needs of the '90s
will be presented for
discussion at the March 28
regular board meeting.
Quality Assurance update
The Director of Educa-
tion outlined areas of
praise identified in the last
Quality Assurance report
(teaching excAlence, stu-
dent self-esteem, parent in-
volvement, and the con-
tribution of caretaking and
maintenance staff, for ex-
ample), areas needing at-
tention (revising and
upgrading school plans and
clarifying educational
goals for parents, for ex-
ample) and detailed the
steps to streamline and im-
prove the current Quality
Assurance process. This
year all secondary schools
will be reviewed. As well,
the board is conducting
major curriculum reviews
in Reading, Mathematics,
and Co-operative Educa-
tion.
Expansion of Middle Level
Extended French program
deferred
The board has agreed to
defer implementing Middle
Level Extended French un-
til 1991-92 at the earliest.
Unavailability of French
teachers was cited as a
serious concern.

..Some 200 docks are now
under construction and
scheduled for completion in
the spring,.. said Bradley
Guest, the THC's Director
of Property Operations.
"However, they won't be
available for use until ap-
propriate zoning is obtain -
public by taking "pro-
blems"designed for
emergency situations, and
using the limited informa-
tion given to them, they
provide the necessary fust

simulators are volunteers
dressed and acting the role
of accident victim.
St. John Ambulance is a
world renowned non-profit
organization whose goal is
to provide first aid CPR

20th. Ontario Open First
Aid Competition On Apr.21
In 1971, an event was
launched in Ontario to pro-
mote
romote health and safety
awareness throughout the
province.
Twenty years later. the
Ontario Open First Aid
Competition, sponsored an-
nually since 1971 by St.
John Ambulance, has been
successful in promoting
this awareness of health
and safety by encouraging
residents throughout On-
tario to publicly utilize and
be recognized for their first
aid knowledge and skills in
emergency situations.
The 20th Annual First
Aid Competition is to be
held Sat. Apr. 21st at the
Fort York Armoury in
Toronto at 1 p.m. with first
aiders throughout the pro -
vine participating.
The Hon. U. Gov. Lin-
coln Alexander will be the
Opening Ceremonies
keynote speaker, and will
remain on hand to assist to
the presentation of awards
immediately following the
competition.
Purpose of the competi-
tion is to encourage these
first aiders to display their
skills to the general public
by taking "problems"
designed for emergency
situations, and using the
limited information given
to them, they provide the
necessary first aid treat-
ment on casualty
simulators. These
simulators are volunteers
dressed and acting the role
of accident victims.
Hands Around Scarborough
"Hands Around Scar-
borough" is a celebration
hosted by the Scarborough
Association for Volunteer

The 700 volunteers af-
filiated with the many
agencies, hospitals, and
organizations situated in
the City of Scarborough
will join hands to form a
symbolic ring around the
Scarborough Civic Centre
to celebrate the major con-
tribution they make to their
community.
It will be a fun and ex-
citing way to acknowledge
their hard work as wet as
increasing public
awareness on the large
number of individuals who
generously give of their
time to their community.
It will be held on Sat.
Apr. 28, between 11:30 a.m.
- 2 p.m. at the Scarborough
Civic Centre.
The human ring of 700
volunteers will be formed
at 12 noon and the master
of ceremonies will be Glenn
Cochrane of CFTO TV.
Mayor Joyce Trimmer
will be one of the many
guest speakers who will
briefly comment on the
wealth of generosity Scar-
borough has in its citizens.
This will be followed by
food, live entertainment
and door prizes. -

Bill Watt's Worlds
AT THE OPERA:
There is little narrative
suspense in operas since
the story lines are well
known. This is particularly
so when an opera has been
adapted from another
work. Where the original
work has no narrative
suspense either then the
opera must succeed on its
own merits of music and
libretto.
Consider Verdi's Otello
based on Shakespeare's
Othello. The play has no
suspense to speak of; it is a
superbly written exercise
in manipulation of the emo-
tions and desires of an in-
secure man. Yes, Othello is
an insecure Black in a
White Christian world even
though the fact is
downplayed in modern pro-
ductions. perhaps wisely
so. In anv event, the
denouement is in evidence
almost from the opening.
So an opera version of
Othello must have superb
music to 'sustain it else it
becomes tedious.
Regrettably, Verdi's
Otello currently being
presented by the Canadian
Opera Company at The
O'Keefe is not one of the
master's better creations.
Mind you, Verdi at his
arguable least is better
than the best of such as
Janacek, Berg and other
such poseurs.
Even so, there is little of
melodic line or emotional
evocation in the score. So
the opera must survive as
an entertainment on ex-
cellent singing and
characterization.
Ermanno Mauro in the ti-
tle role is quite impressive.
He carries himself as a
warrior king while still con-
veying the message that he
is susceptible to insinuation
in that part of his life that
he loves most but fears los-
ing the worst, the fidelity of
his wife Desdemona.
In a word, his
characterization is ex-
cellent and beautifully sup -

Ported by his fine, surpris-
ingly gently tenor.
Only one aspect of the
aforementioned
characterization puzzles us
and we are prepared to
display possible ignorance
of historical culture in so
saying. Would a Moor have
spoken/sung with a
Castilian lisp?
Stefka Evstatieva is a
splendidly junoesque
woman perhaps more com-
fortable with Wagner but
her sweet soprano quite
carries the day and the
role.
The plummiest role of
course is that of Iago and it
has been assigned to
baritone Allan Monk who
should be hugely successful
in but is not and through no
fault of his own: he simply
does not look like an Iago.
This classic villain
should be thin like Cassius.
not robust like Falstaff.
Further we've always felt
that the role should have
been written for a tenor in
order to be more sweetly
0nsuative (new word but
what the hell). We confess
too, our feeling that Otello
is better portrayed by a
baritone or even a helden
tenor but then we are not
Verdi.
Back to Mr. Monk. His
voice is glorious and his
portrayal well honed or at
least as far as possible. To
be honest though. he is not
well served by the English
translation in surtitks. Our
Italian is not sand enough
to state if the translations
are word for word but they

are vaguely silly, almost as
amusing as Italian sung
with a Castilian lisp.
We are firm in declaring
that Messrs. Mauro and
Monk and Mlle. Evstatieva
do exceedingly well in their
roles but we suggest with
the utmost kindness that
they might have been
miscast.
Is this production of
Otello without merit? Of
course not! There is much
to admire and enjoy. One
thinks of Odette Beaupre in
the role of Emilia, a
woman fearful and know-
ing of her husband Iago but
loyal to her mistress
Desdemona.
There is the superb work
of the chorus under the
direction of Donald Palum-
bo. There are the superb
lighting effects of Stephen
Ross. There is the sump-
tuous albeit sometimes
overly so. conducting of
Maurizio Arena. And, as so
often before, there is the
grand crowd effects of
Director L0tf1 Mansouri.
Otello is, as must be ob-
vious by now, worth one's
custom but it's not Verdi at
his best.
EARTH TOPICS:
Among the five new
reporters recently hired by
Global Television is the
fust full-time erMroomient
reporter.
Former CBC Journal
producer Linda Boyle
became Global's environ-
ment reporter as of last
evening. Applause. ap-
piause.
Miss Boyle will likely be
interested in three books
which have just crossed
our desk for consideration.
All concern the natural -
more or less -environment.
In order they are Making
Peace With the Planet by
Barry Commoner ( Pan-
theon) . Clearer. Cleaner.

Blueprint (sic) for Detoxi-
fying Your Environment
by Gary !dull (Villard) and
Saving the Earth A
Citizen's Guide to En-
vironmental Action by Will
Steiger and Jon Bower -
master ( Knopf) .
Each of them is a hand-
some volume which clearly
states the problem of our
surroundings being fouled
and what should be done
about it. Each of them
however is redundant. It
seems to us that everyone
knows about the problem
and anyone of any in-
telligence knows what
should be done about it.
Far better we believe to
form strong voting groups
to force necessary changes
than to write books telling
us what we already know.
While we're on the stump
allow us our own sugges-
tion.
Two of the biggest pro-
blems facing the world to-
day are the increasing
shortage of fossil fuels and
disposal of waste. Why rot-
as we will have to eventual-
ly anyway -cease the use of
petroleum and petroleum
byproducts in favour of
alcohol .. and use the waste
to make it? Of course the
powerful lobbies of Stan-
dard Oil, Shell and the
others would never stand
for it but it is the most
reasonable solution. Com-
ments anyone?
Making Peace With the
Planet contains one piece
of information that gives
some relative comfort.

Gets Award
Don Farquharson has
received a Special Achieve-
ment Award for his
outstanding contribution to
Masters Track and Field at
the Ministry of Tourism &
Recreation's annual Sports
Awards Banquet at the
Harbour Castle Westin.
Mr. Farquharson has
promoted masters
athletics since its inception
in 1964, when he founded
the first 40 -Plus com-
petitive group in Toronto.
In 19'72, he began the Cana-
dian Masters Athletic
Association and also
organized the first interna-
tional tour to Scandinavia
the same year.
In 1975. Don helped 1.400
masters competitors get
together for the first World
Veteran's Track and Field
Championships. This event
resulted in the foundation
of the World Association of
Veteran Athletics. Mr. Far-
quharson became presi-
dent of the association and
was re-elected for a total of
ten years afterward.

Government should be
allocating its funding for
public transit to the con-
struction of the Sheppard
subway. A subway along
Sheppard Avenue will con-
tribute to the decentraliza-
tion of Metropolitan Toron-
to," said Mr. Gardner.
In his presentation and
discussion with the
Metropolitan Toronto
Priorities and Policy Com-
mittee, Provincial Deputy
Minister, Gardner Church,
stated that higher density
residential development
would be a requirement in
order to justify and Support
any rapid transit line. In
contrast, land use along
D ifferin Street is primari-
ly light industrial.
"Unfortunately, in the
last few months, the TTC
has reported a drop in the
level of ridership. In light
of reductions in ridership,
an emphasis should be
placed on increasing rider-
ship levels, and by attrac-
ting new riders to the TTC.
The Provincial Govern-
ment should be working
with Metro and the TTC to
achieve this end, said
Councillor Gardner.
He feels that at the pre-
sent time, there is insuffi-
cient residential develop-
ment to support an exten-
sion of the existing transit
line. There may not be
enough people who would
benefit from the construc-
tion of an extension along
Dufferin Street. As a
result, few new riders will
be attracted to the TTC.
Councillor Gardner is
proposing that the Provin-
cial Government commit
itself to the construction of
the Sheppard Subway. A
Sheppard Ave. rapid tran-
sit line is supported by
Metro Toronto Council.
The Sheppard Ave. sub-
way is seen as an integral
component of the concept
of creating subeentres as a
means of managing
Metro's future growth. In
order to maintain its
viability, level of growth
and quality of life, the
development of subcentres
is being encouraged as a
means of meeting this ob-
jective. A Sheppard sub-
way line would strengthen
the creation of a North
York subcentre.

The Canadian Chamber of
Commerce FOCUS 2M
Task Force Reports
The FOCUS 2000 project
arose as a response to the
major competitive
challenges facing Cana-
dians. Canadian business
and the Canadian (umber
of Commerce. In this
regard, The Canadian
Chamber of Commerce
established six task forces
to provide recormnenda-
tions of policies and pro-
grams which would assist
Canadian busirKs4 to meet
the challenges of 2000 and
beyond.
With regard to the en-
vironmental report, "A
Healthy Environment for a
Healthy Economy: A New
Agenda for Business". the
board recommends the
Canadian Chamber on this
well prepared report and
states that "it has many
practical recommenda-
tions, and is an excellent
reference for many of the
strategies the board re-
quires to achieve its own
environmental
objectives...
In addition, the board
demonstrates its support
for the project through
many of its ongoing and
vaned environmental in
itiatives.
In response to the educa-
tion and training report
"Putting Business into
Training - A Guide to In-
vesting in People", the
board supports the thrust
of the Task Force recom-
mendations. The board
also informs the Canadian
Chamber about activities
of the board's Education

which demonstrate that the
board actively supports the
FOCUS 2000 project

Future Immigration
Levels
On Feb. 15 Gordon Riehl
and more than 60 other of
Toronto's opinion leaders
met at the Chelsea Inn to
discuss future levels of im-
migration to Canada for
1991-95.
The Hon. Barbara
McDougall, Federal
Minister of Employment
and Immigration, chaired
the meeting and noted that
the issues raised by im-
migration are challenging
and controversial, and af-
fect all aspects of Canada's
economic, social, cultural,
and demographic future.
transitional income when
removal from office is
beyond the planned control
of the member of council."
Councillor Hollander was
one of the few Councillors
who spoke out against the
proper -
"Metro has problems
such as poverty and
homelessness. We ( Metro
Councillors) have it good.
We have a salary
somewhere in the range of
$60,000 one third of which is
tax free," he said. "It
wouldn't be right to adopt
this severance policy. I
can't imagine anything
that would be more un-
popular with my consti-
tuents, except maybe, the
GST. "
In spite of Hollander's
remarks, most members of
council were supportive of
severance allowance. A
notable proponent of the
proposal was Councillor
Moscoe.
"Municipal politicians
are not permitted to pur-
chase unemployment in-
surance, and are not entitl-
ed to sick leave gratuities,"
he said. "Metro Councillors
deserve benefits which we
would wish for all
members of society.
Municipal politicians need
not be third-class citizens."
Moscoe told council that
without a severance
allowance, involvement in
municipal politics is "open
to those who can afford to
be defeated." He said the
severance policy should be
adopted to prevent
municipal politics from
becoming a "gentlemen's
club".
Moscoe's comments
were echoed by Councillor
Anne Johnston. "A
severance allowance would
keep politicians honest and
able to resist temptation,"
she said.
Councillor Bill Christie
voiced particularly strong
support for the severance
policy proposal. "Adopting
this proposal is not a mat-
ter of charity," he said,
"It's a matter of dignity."

Celebrate Battle Of York
177th. Anniversary
The Toronto iinaorical
Board invites everyone to
help commemorate one of
the most significant events
in Toronto's history - The
Battle of York - at ffistoric
Fort York on Sun. Apr.
22nd.
This special day will
feature remembrance ser-
vices for the British, Cana-
dian, American and Native
warriors who fell during
the battle; music from the
War of 1812 period; and a
wralkirrg tour of the Victoria
Square Cemetery - York's
first military burial
ground -
Services will begin at 2
p.m. after which
refreshments will be serv-
ed in Blockhouse Not The
tour will follow at 3 p. m.
Admission to the service is
free.
On Apr. 27, 1813, fourteen
American ships landed an
invading force of 1,750
American soldiers on the
beach just east of the
modern-day Sunnyside
Pavilion. From there, an
attack against the fort and
the Town of York ( now
Toronto) was mounted.
After a valiant defence
by British regulars, local
militia, and Ojibway and
Mississauga warriors, Fort
York and the town fell.
A week long occupation
followed the battle, marred
by the looting of private
homes; the burning of the
parliament buildings, and
the destruction of public
stores.
Though the attack was
heralded as an American
victory, it fell short of its
primary goal, - namely, the
seizure of British naval
vessels in the town. One
ship had escaped before the
battle, the other, the "Sir
Isaac Brock", was burned
by the British during their
retreat.
The following year, 1814,
saw a British counter at-
tack against the American
capital of Washington.
There government
buildings, including the
White House, were burned
in retaliation for the attack
on York and other targets.
Historic Fort York is
located on Garrison Rd. off
Fleet St. between Bathurst
St. and Strachan Ave. Free
parking is available. The
site is TTC accessible via

The Canadian environment ministers met on Mar. 20th,
to take action on a number of environmental issues being
pursued by their national coordinating organization, the
Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment
(CCME). One of the issues on which important and firm in-
itiatives were taken was excess packaging.
The environment ministers declared war on excess
packaging, agreeing to adopt a series of measures designed
to cut the amount of packaging that ends up in our garbage
dumps. Recognizing that packaging contributes
significantly to the volume of solid waste in Canada, the
ministers endorsed a National Packaging Protocol for
reducing packaging by 50% by the year 2000.
The Protocol is the work of a 30 member multi -
stakeholder National Task Force on Packaging, establish-
ed by the COME in April, 1989. As a first step, the ministers
established a 1992 interim national target of 20% reduction
over 1968 levels of packaging. If that target is met in 1992,
the savings in annual waste collection and disposal costs
will exceed $50 million dollars.
The ministers challenged the packaging industry to in-
itiate measures voluntarily to meet the interim target.
They signalled, however, that they would immediately
begin to prepare compatible legislation and regulations to
achieve the necessary reductions. Measures in the protocol
set minimum content levels for recycled material and
regulate packaging imported into Canada. In addition, a
..Code of Preferred Canadian Packaging Practices" would
give preference to systems that use no packaging, followed
by those that use mininal packaging. reusable packaging
and. finally, recyclable packaging.
Canadians understand that our landfill sites are growing
at an unacceptable pace. This is no secret to is in Ontario
Riding. Each year the average Canadian family buys a
tonne of packaging, of which 8D percent is used once then
thrown away. This is a situation that must be addressed and
in my opinion this initiative has done just that.
Once again this year. the federal government has mailed
out renewal applications to Guaranteed Income Supple-
ment (GIS) and Spouse's Allowance I SPA I recipients. To
be eligible to continue to receive these benefits you must
send in these renewal fours.
MP Participates In Ceremonies
At Chart Industries Expansion
Ren6 Soetens. M.P. Ontario Riding participated in the ex-
pansion ceremonies of Chart Industries Ud., on Fri. Mar.
30th at 10 a.m.
Officials at Chart believe that the Free Trade Agreement
will enable them to become more competitive in the U.S.
market. Presently, Chart's products are subject to a four to
five percent tariff when entering the United States. Given
that management believes that the American market is one
of its primary opportunities for growth, the FTA will almost
certainly be beneficial to Chart.
This ceremony represents Soetens' fifth opportunity in
the last year to take part in opening and expansion
ceremonies which the companies involved claimed were, in
part, a direct result of the Canada - U.S. Free Trade Agree-
ment.
Chart Industries is now realizing the benefits of the FTA
and according to Soetens, is demonstrating "confidence to
invest in their future and that of Ontario Riding"
Chart Industries Ltd., is one of the world's largest sup-
pliers of collision repair equipment. Apart from holding the
largest share of the Canadian market, Chart's sales in
Japan are the largest of any supplier in the industry and the
company has also captured a significant share of the U.S.
market. Since 1981, Chart has more than doubled its sales
making it one of the top four North Amencan manufac-
turers of collision repair equipment.
The Hon. Otto Jelinek, Minister of National Revenue, was
also in attendance.
