(it is 1.5 km east of liberty St.) south to 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. Juh 18, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Monster Works Yard Scarborough has decided to amalgamate five depart- ments into one works yard right in the middle of a heavily residential area (20,000 live nearby). The proposed ,'monster" works yard would be bordered by Eglinton Ave. E. on the north, Brimley Rd. on the west, McCowan Rd. on the east and Oakridge Dr. to the south. It is unclear how many (probably four) works yards are to be amalgamated into one humongous, monster works yard. It is, however, named the "McCowan Service Yard", and heralded as a "new service yard" in a news release last fall in the local papers. Lately residents have learned that, in fact, it is a "mother yard" and not a "new yard" which has disturbed many residents. Only residents within 400 feet of the site were notified. Since then the two new condo buildings built adjacent have started to fill. The new residents of the buildings are shocked at the sneakiness of the deal. Nearby residents at the apartments at the north corners of McCowan & Eglinton are dismayed and in disbelief that they too were not notified of this plan. When asked if this plan had already been passed by coun- cil, the person in charge of building it. Dennis O'Leary, said, "It has not come to a vote yet". City councillors thought, however, that this issue "had already been put to bed'" You may ask why is this proposal being raised again since the original plans called for decentralization for more efficient use of lands' To make room for a proposed olym- pic sine pool for Toronto's bid for Expo which it since has lost, and for Toronto's bid the Olympics of which it is in close contention with Greece' It has been said that since the pool would fit perfectly on the Brimley-Eglinton site (herr), that the real reason for building the pool near the city centre is so that council can look out their windows and show it to the special visitors of our municipal offices' Now. since the environment minister of Ontario finallv announced that a full environmental assessment will not be necessary because residents' objections to the plan are to be mitigated. Scarborough can go ahead. He orders Scar- borough to simply minimize the odours and to minimize the noise levels, so that nearby residents' numerous complaints many be abated or decreased in numbers through mitigative measures... whatever that means' He further orders Scarborough to use beehive covers for all stored material that causes dust, odour. and insects like mosquitoes and larvae. (All of which seem small enough to get through beehive covers') He does not address the objec- tions to the raw waste dumping from trailers and motorhomes coming south from the 401. or the storing of toxic chemicals at this site. )for is there mention of the loss of cultural planning for such a densely populated area' The horrendous traffic mess and gross inefficiency that is to occur when the 2.50-300 trucks and 600-900 cars start roll- ing in each and every day is also left out' These garbage trucks and snow ploughs will have to move northerly for miles up to the 401 then east and west to other points of the city. The proposed location is too far to the south -end to be of any value. This will cost taxpayers more because more fuel and labour time to travel to these far-off points will be used. Further. this is merely a stop -gap solution. It will not be big enough of an area for the future...so what then ... Lear it down again and look for another larger site' Why not' It's only may, We deserve an open forum so that we can learn of this proposal's full ramification to this area. and the time to speak to this proposal. We hope to receive this courtesy. Yours truly. Joseph A. Trentadue. Chairman. H A.

People And Pets You may have heard that patting your beloved pet may decrease your blood pressure and give you a sense of well being. The volunteers at the Wexford Centre, 1860 Lawrence Ave. E., bring in their pets to share these good feelings with senior citizens. If volunteer Mrs. Joyce asks her 10 -year old golden retriever "Henry" how much is two pats two. he will bark four times while expectantly eyeing the biscuit in her left hand. After the oohs and aahs have died down Henry will wander among the senior sitting on the patio and lick any outstretched hands. In the meantime Harry Northy's chnrbby Chinese Pug "Sparky" waddles from person to person presenting his large languid eyes and lolling tongue to anyone who's in- terested. Being small and slow moving Sparky is a big hit with those residents not used to large animals. "People and Pets" is just one of the many programs in which the volunteers at The Wexford are involved. If you would like to garnish hamburgers in the weekly barbecue, help a resident choose a card in the gift shop, serve tea at a special function or assist in any of the other activities, The Wexford would like to hear from you.

When all 1969 households were divided into income quintiles, more than 23% of those households in the top income fifth owned a pleasure boat. The lowest income fifth showed less than 6% ownership. Pleasure boat ownership is far more common among rural households than those in the city, according to Statistics Canada survey information. Almost one rural household in four owned a boat in 1989 compared to one household in 10 in cities with population of 500,000 and over. Canoe ownership has been on the rise for a number of years, Statistics Canada survey information shows. The proportion of households with canoes more than doubled from 1971 to 1989, going from just over 2% to 5.5%. Households headed by persons in the age group with the highest income -45 to 54 years -formed the group in which boat ownership was most prevalent in 1989, Statistics Canada figures show. Almost 21% of such households own- ed boats. French Language Action Plan For Education Education Minister Sean Conway has announced an ac- tion plan aimed at the development and implementation of recommendations for the future governance of French language education in the Ontario school system. The plan includes the establishment of a French Language Governance Advisory Group and a French Language Implementation Comnussion and announces amendments to Bill 125 governing French -language school trustee representation. The French Language Governance Advisory Group will recommend criteria for the establishment of French - language school boards as well as alternative approaches to French language governance. It will also develop the terms of reference to be used by the French Language Im- plementation Commission. "This government has a strong track record in suppor- ting education for Franco-Ontarians and is committed to establishing additional French -language school boards in Ontario," said Mr. Conway. The advisory group, which will consist of a chairman and four members from both the French -language and English- lanugage educational communities, is scheduled to present its proposals in a report to the Minister at the end of this Year. Once the report has been reviewed, a French Language Implementation Commission will be formed early in the new year. The commission will be responsible for receiving and reviewing proposals for the establishment of French - language school boards and other appropriate approaches to the governance of French -language education in Ontario. The commission will review community input and factors such as demography, methods of funding, school facilities and the impact on local school boards before recommen- ding options for action to the Minister of Education. Amendments will also be made to The Education Act governing school trustee representation. The amendments will ensure that the number of French -language school trustees on school boards will be proportional to the number of French -language students in the school district. Under the current legislation, which was Bill 125 when it was enacted in 1968, the number of French -language school trustees is proportional to the total French -language population in the area. "'lire initiatives undertaken today will help ensure that the administration of French -language education is tailored to the needs of specific communities across the pro- vince, " ro- vine," said Mr. Conway. The announcement of this plan follows a recent decision by the Supreme Court of Canada ( the Mahe decision) that a sliding scale of governance is required for the management and control of French -language education. In 1989, there were nearly 100,o0o students enrolled in more than 350 French -language schools across the pro- vince. The government has already established two French -language school boards in the Toronto and Ottawa areas. Municipal Election Funds Restriction Municipal Affairs Minister John Sweeney has introduced Changes to the Municipal Elections Act to restrict election contributions and the use of surplus campaign funds. The legislation will also make it easier for elector to have alleged campaign financing irregularities in- vestigated- The changes require that a candidate's surplus campaign fug be held in trust by the municipal clerk for use during the next municipal election or applied against past election debts. The amendments place a limit of $5,000 on the total amount a contributor can give to all candidates for a single rounicipality or school board. The legislation also includes a new enforcement system Currently, individual electors must take legal action if they believe the law has been broken. Under the new system, the municipality or school board will be responsible for acting on a complaint from an elector. If the municipality or school board fails to take appropriate action, the provincial Commission on Election Finances can intervene. "After the 1988 municipal elections there was criticism about how some candidates used their leftover campaign funds," W. Sweeney said. "Since then we have consulted with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers. I believe the changes I am introducing today will help remedy the problem. "The election process is at the very heart of our democratic system, and it is therefore extremely important for people to have faith in it," he said. "Tine changes I am introducing today are intended to reassure people that their representatives are acting in the public's best interests at all times." The legislation includes a number of other amendments, including changes to allow municipalities to provide elec- tion information in languages other than English and French, and to provide an alternative form of ballot for the benefit of visually impaired electors. It also changes the Hiles of proxy voting to help prevent abuse of the system. r ------------------------------------------ Give A Gift That Lasts A11 Year!

They will be carrying the hopes of hundreds of area children who also, one day soon, hope to realize their dreams. Starlight Foundation, an international non-profit organization dedicated to making wishes come true for children who are critically, chronically or terminally ill, has been selected as the recipient charity for the Island Air- port's first-ever Fly Day scheduled for Sat. July 21. For a small donation of 820 per adult and 810 for children 16 and under, members of the public will be invited to take to the skies on board one of several wheel and float planes piloted by members of the general aviation community or, if they choose, on board a Dash -7 or Dash -8 commuter air- craft being supplied by air- port tenants City Express and Air Ontario. Each aircraft will follow the same flight pattern - a 20 -minute ride along the lakeshore, eastward to Pickering and then back again for a panoramic view of downtown Toronto and its waterfront. Each passenger will receive a boarding pass for the flight of his or her choice and ground crews will be on hand for nervous, first-time fliers. While waiting for their flights - which begin at 9 a. m. and continue throughout the day until 6 p.m. - passengers will have a chance to enjoy a selec- tion of food and beverages while viewing the airport facilities from a reserved area.

Page 6 T1IE NEWS/ POST Wed. Jnly is, IN* Bill Watt's Worlds ON SCREEN: We haven't read Scott Turow's best selling novel Presumed Innocent and are rather glad. If we had, then a comparison of it and the just released motion picture version from Warner Brothers would be inevitable and maybe deleterious. For us it's not important to know if one is better than the other. All we know is that Presumed Innocent is one of the most spell bin- ding movies of the last demi-decade. It's a hoodun- nit and a first rate court room drama all in one. Harrison Ford, who ,always reminds us of Mike Anscombe on Global, plays a prosecuting attorney ac- cused of murdering a female associate ( Greta Scacchi) with whom he had had an affair, a not so secret affair. Political am- biguities are such that though capable be cannot defend himself in court. He hires a defense attorey MOVIE NIGHT VIDEO 755-40M Rent one get one FREE with this coupon Men.-Tkn.99t our yMew tag day 1- k,nd, $2.49 for two deft 1717 Lawrence Ave.E Car.VICbb PkAeaneat b Shank HMW :K ( Raul Julia) to represent him. The attorney is a former adversary. Does he beat the rap? Is he guilty? If not, who is? You'll have to see Presum- ed Innocent and find out for yourself. There is, or should be, no way that any reviewer worth his or her salt can disclose more than what has just been written. We can, however, declare some fine perfor- mances in this just under two hour long film. (Ac- tually, we suspect that it was originally longer. There is evidence of chop- py editing and there are a few characters who are not fleshed out) . Harrison Ford rumbles quietly through his role of a fundamentally decent man besotted by an adven- turess. The latter has nice buttocks but what a man married to someone like Bonnie Bedelia could see in her escapes us. Yes, Bon- nie Bedelia plays another faithful wife here and almost walks away with the film. She is one young lady who can take even the weakest of roles and pro- ject them into major pieces.

We couldn't catch the name of the gentleman who played a seedy detective but he muchly impressed. We mentioned that Bon- nie Bedelia almost walks away with the film; almost, but not quite. That honour goes to Raul Julia as the defence attorney. He is smooth but not oily; com- petent and comforting. He is not above the dirty tricks of the trade but uses them only in sincere belief. Fine performance. There is one unexplained bit of business early in the film which we suspect is the victim of editing. Also, there is a major flaw in the entire premise of the film. It's mentioned here for two reasons. The first is see how many spot it; the se- cond is merely to point out that Presumed Innocent is not without flaws. We stand by our earlier statement, however, that it is one of the most enjoyable features of the past five years. ON SCREEN tt: Quids Change. also from Warner Brothers, presents Bill Murray in what we believe to be his fust film since the disastrous Razor's Edge. Thankfully he now has that kind of nonsense out of his system and is back at what he does best, the nonsense of com- edy- By now, you must be familiar with the story. A million dollar bank robbery is committed with more ease than an escape from the scene (memories of The League of Gentlemen ) .

The choice or rather, ac- ceptance of one or the other is that of the viewer. Good luck and enjoy.

He will attend the gala presentation of White Hunter, Black Heart which he produced and directed and in which he stars. We have misgivings about the film. Mr. Eastwood portrays a character well known to have been based upon that of the late John Huston. We can't really imagine Mr. C. in the part but let's wait and see. IN THE CLUBS: One could wish that Peter Allen had never writ- ten Everything Old is New Again; not that it's not a good song but the title has become almost a chchb for Toronto's continuing downtown redevelopment. None the less, we must use it again in announcing Go Go, a singularly unimaginative name for an exciting new club. Go Go is located at ahem, 250 Richmond St. W. in a most unprepossessing building ... on the outside. Inside, it's quite something else. On three floors there are The White Room featuring "Euro - Funky -Disco", The Theatre Room with "Contemporary -World Dance Music" and an open air rod top patio. We were there for the opening and were most taken by the club. To be honest we found the dance music thunderingly over loud but are told that it's there for dancing, not for conversation. The food is simply scrumptious and the ribs are the best we have tasted since the demise of Pigmabon's. For now, Go Go is open Thursday through Sunday and reservations are sug- gested- We recommend atten- dance. So go, go and let us know how it went, went. VOX POP This column makes no pretense of notable political acuity. Having given this old world con- siderably more than a cou- ple of whirls, however, we are not embarrassed to put forward the following com- ments on the role of governments. It is given that govern- ment which governs least, governs best. That aside, a government should exist only to protect those people who cannot protect themselves. We might have awaited retirement before writing the foregoing were it not for a recent experience we share with you here. Apparently there is a new music seminar that takes place annually in New York City. It is in pro- gress as this is being writ- ten as far as we can deter- mine. Last Monday there was a showcase of Canadian Talent sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Communications and the Canadian Consulate of New York. Anyway, a week ago Monday, we accepted an invitation from the Ministry to attend a recep- tion for the Ontario based artists who were to be per- forming at the seminar and for artists appearing on Terry Fox Run Organizer Needed In Agincourt Ten years ago this sum- mer Terry Fox ran into the hearts of Ontarians everywhere in his effort to raise much-needed funds for cancer research. This year, as we com- memorate the 10th An- niversry of Terry's Marathon of Hope, we look to communities, both small and large, to continue the legacy of hope that Terry left us. Agincourt did not host a community Run in 1989 so Indie-Can '90. We're still not sure about the latter. The reception was held at BamBoo and, sorry to say, it merely confirmed our feeling that government should not be involved in certain activities, certainly not those that give any kind of credence to those undeserving of it. The attendees, with a few exceptions. looked like refugees from war torn countries and acted like umbays... dirty jeans with the seats out, smelly bodies, greasy hair, beer drunk out of the bottle. Well, that's a particular life style and while we deplore it, we can grudg- ingly admit it exists. What is uncompletely unacceptable, however, is the conduct of such a crowd. When The Hon. Hugh O'Neil, Minister of Culture and Communica- tions, rose to speak, few listened- Few listened! Here is a Minister of the Crown doing his excellent best to address an assemblage and only a few really listened. We applaud the Minister and his ministry for un- doubted good intentions but as far as we are concerned most of those ingrates in at- tendance were there only for the free beer and aren't worth any consideration. Sorry. ON RECORD: Gary Dunford, resident doyen of the Sun's page 6, is also the host of a Sunday night show on C. F. R. B. called Record Hounds. It features interesting guests - even Ed Needham was at least sufferable on his ap- pearance - and a selection of musical offerings that is always eclectic and sometimes iconoclastic. A fortnight ago he played a beautiful reading of the Cloudburst movement from Grof6's Grand Ca- nyon Suite. It was con- ducted by Chip Davis of Mannhein Steamroller and offers - quite apart from a thrilling auditory ex- perience - proof again that many Rock performers are excellent musicians. ( Daryl Dragen should have been named conductor of the Boston Pops, not John Williams). It's from an album titled Yellowstone ( American Gramaphone) that we've had on our review shelf for some time now awaiting room for print exposure. Yellowstone is mostly a collection of descriptive pieces written by Chip Davis about Yellowstone National Park. in its own way, it is not unmindful of the Florida Suite by Delius. we are seeking an in- dividual, family or group to step forward this year and organize a Terry Fox Run on Sun. Sept. 16th. With the public's support we can continue to fund researchers in their vital work of finding a cure for cancer - a disease that this year will take the lives of 35,000 Canadians. Please call 1-804387-1200 for information about how to get involved in the 1990 Terry Fox Run. Good album and our thanks to Gary Dunford for giving it some air time. Now, about those records you wanted us to select Gary. Gary? - PARTY TIME: Ed Mirvish celebrates his 76th birthday next Tues- day and once again there is to be a party in Mirvish Village. You'll be reading and hearing more details between now and then but here's something we'd like to pass on. The party is scheduled from t2 noon to 4 p.m. but Mr. Mirvish's day will begin as always at 7:30 a.m. and we suspect will continue on well into the night. Then. early the next mor- ning he leaves for Van- couver to attend the open- ing night and celebration party for Les Miserables. The man is incredible and we consider it a privilege to be among his many friends. AFTER GLOW: Starlight Express opened last night at The O'Keefe. Two of the cast members will be in Nathan Phillips Square tomorrow along with scores of other celebrities for the pro- clamation of Starlight Day. The Starlight Foundation founded by Emma Sa mms grants wishes to critically, chronically or terminally ill children. It is a wonder- ful organization not- withstanding its bit- tersweet purpose that deserves full support in its aims. Nice to see so many rallying around. IN PRINT: We received a most disturbing and distressing book during the past week. It's from Random Hoose and is titled Strong at the Broken Places. It is a self help book for those who must overcome the trauma of childhood abuse. We have no way of know- ing if it can be helpful since we have no need of such a book; our childhood was a happy one. If it can be helpful, then God bless the authoress Linda T. San- ford. It is not sad, however, that such a book is necessary.

A growing concern about the environment is changing our definition of balance and moderation. One of the con- sequences is a renewed inter- est in gardening, not only for beautifying our personal environments but as a relax- ing hobby. Along with gardening, composting is gaining popu- larity—for all the right rea- sons. It's not only a natural way to recycle and reduce garbage, but also provides nutrients needed for plant growth. Compost provides nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, and in a natural, slow -releasing way. Make a compost bin yourself or buy a ready-made one at a gar- dening centre. Recycling centres or Parks and Recrea- tion can provide information and plans to build one. Once your compost con- tainer is constructed, add vegetable and fruit peelings, vegetable tops, eggshells and salad leavings along with grass clippings and leaves. Used tea leaves or bags are ideal for the compost heap. Avoid grease, oil, bones, milk products and meat straps. In fact, there are many great uses for those versatile tea leaves and bags, according to the Tea Council of Can- ada. Aside from its refresh- ing good taste and minimal Don't Drink & Drive .P Enjgy tea as a relaxing irlterlu.iL , ::c 1: i.rilize the [,%..'L,aVes or bags for a variety of natural solution.) to ",oclN 1lruhiems. calories, this natural bever- age has many other uses around the house and gar- den, making it most economi- cal. Besides providing nutrients to your compost, used tea leaves placed over the roots of rose bushes help retain moisture and feed the plant. Even indoor gardeners can benefit by watering house plants with diluted cold tea. Leftover tea poured over all house plants helps stimulate growth. }fere are just a few ways to recycle tea: ❑ ('old tea makes an excel- lent and inexpensive clean- ing agent for varnish flo rN and all woodwork. Simply rub cold tea across the sur- face with a cloth to clean without leaving a dulling film. ❑ Clean mirrors and glass- ware with a cloth dampened with cold tea. Chrome plat- ing can be washed in cold tea and polished w ith a soft cloth to a bright lustre. ❑ Cold tea is a sparkling tonic for all types of skin. Dip a cotton pad in cold tea. pat onto skin and leave to dry. ❑ Use warm tea as a final rinse and conditioner after washing your hair. ❑ Cotton pads soaked in cold tea, or cold tea hags make gout eye compresses to soothe tired, puffy eyes. The tea acts as a mild astrin- gent, thereby reducing puffi- ness. Similarly, cotton pads soaked in strong cold tea w i 11 help relieve the pain of a sunburn. ❑ "fired feet? Bathe them in a bowl of warm tea. And when it's time to take a break from gardening and household chores, make yourself a refreshing, deli- cious cup of tea. Sit down and take the time to smell the roses and enjoy the satisfac- tion of a job well done. 1`6 make a good cup of tea, begin with good quality tea and follow these few simple rules. Bring fresh cold water to a rolling boil. Warm the teapot with hot tap water. Use one tea bag or two tea- spoons of hx)sc tea for every two cups. When the kettle boils, pour out the warming water, add tea and pour boil- ingwaterover the tea. Cover and brew for 3 to 5 minutes, stir, remove tea bags or strain and serve. 12 years and talk about her book, Mon. Jul. 16 at 2 p.m. for the first 50 to arrive.

Scheduled for July 21 and 22, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. the museum has announced that this year's event will highlight the agricultural steam engine. Displaying one of the largest groupings of operating steam engines in the province, the weekend event will have at least 10 steam engines constantly puffing out steam and tooting whistles. Great Canadian attracts over 30 antique tractors and 50 antique gasoline engines, all of Canadian manufacture prior to 1960. A parade of this unique equipment will circulate around the event area dai- ly. The action continues with a working saw mill and shingle mill, both powered by vintage Canadian engines. A "Threshing Bee" stages an act of the past. And a farm toy display, with collectors from across Ontario, shows us the toys of yesterday and today. Adventurous visitors can compete in log -sawing, nail -driving, and bag -tying competitions. Comprising over 30 buildings on 32 hectares of Niagara Escarpment scenery, the museum of- fers a living look into On- tario's early rural days through costumed inter- preters, farming projects, farm animals and tractor - drawn wagon rides. Open daily, you can reach the Museum by tak- ing Hwy 401 to Milton exit 320 or 312 north and follow the signs. Looking For Something New & Different?

BLOCK PARENTS Canada Trust has put out an informative pamphlet on the Block Parent Program that I picked tip at the Pickering Library. A Block Parent is any responsible adult who cares enough about the well being of children and other persons to volunteer his or her hone as a safe refuge when a need arises. A Block Parent sign in the window lets children in distress know that a Block Parent is home to provide a safe haven. And even when there is no cause for concern. the Block Parent sign can act as a deterrent to potential of- fenders who can quickly conclude that the neighbourhood bas its own safety support system. If you are interested in being a Block Parent, pick up one of the brochures, fill it out and mail or bring it to your nearest Elementary School, your police farce or the manager at any office of Canada Trust Realtor.

Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West FINANCING OF MUNICIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGNS During the last week of spring sessions at the Ontario Legislature, the Minister of Municipal Affairs, the Honourable John Sweeney, introduced several amend- ments to the Municipal Elections Act. The amendments resulted from extensive consultation with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers. The most important change has to do with the way municipal election campaigns are fmane- ed. These changes are directly linked to recent newspaper stories reporting about how some candidates used their lef- tover campaign funds. The News Advertiser reported on June 1 that some Pickering councillors made huge profits during the last municipal elections. "In Pickering, the largest profits were made by Councillors Rick Johnson and Doug Dickerson, who pocketed $21,056 and $12,537 respec- tively. In the 1968 elections, municipalities had a choice of operating under Section 2 or Section 3 of a reformed Act. Section 2 allowed candidates to keep any funds not spent on campaigns. While candidates were limited in the amount that they could spend, Section 2 did not limit the amount that they could collect. Under Section 3, any excess cam- paign contributions collected by a candidate had to be put aside for another municipal election. Under this section, municipalities were required to issue tax credits to con- tributors. Since these tax credits would have to be made up by other taxpayers, Pickering opted to go with Section 2. The new legislation introduced by Minister Sweeney will require that surplus campaign funds be held in trust by the municipal clerk for use dulling the next municipal election. They can also be applied against past election dWs. This will erasure that campaign funds are used only for election purposes - Furthermore. in addition to the existing limit of VW that a contributor can give to any one candidate, the legislation places a limit of $5,000 on the total amount a single con- tributor to• can give to all candidates running for the same municipal council or school board. Concerns have also been expressed in the post about the way that the laws on campaign financing and reporting are enforced. Current rules require individual electors to take legal action if they believe that the law has been broken. Under the new system. the municipality or school board will be responsible for acting on a complaint from an elec- tor. If the municipality or school boards fail to take ap- propriate action, the provincial Commission on Election Finances can intervene. The legislation contains several other amendments. Amongst them are changes to allow municipalities to pro- vide election information in languages other than English and French. and to provide an alternative form of ballot for the benefit of visually impaired electors. It also changes the rules on proxy voting to help prevent abuse of the system. The election process is at the very heart of our democratic system, and it is therefore extremely important for people to have faith in it. The changes that the Minister introduced are intended to reassure people that their representatives are acting in their best interests at all times. from high stamp prices and slashed services, this is actual- ly far from the truth. In constant dollars, stamp prices have actually gone down since 1964, giving us the second lowest stamp prices in the world. In addition, there are now 16,740 postal outlets (up from 14,161 in 1997), a higher level of customer satisfaction and an all time high of on time mail delivery ( between 97 and 99 per cent) . When the Progressive Conservative Party was given its mandate to govern in 1964, one of its main objectives was to reinstate the ethic of fiscal responsibility into government agencies. Crown corporations which no longer served a public policy role were to be privatized, while those that did have a role to play, were directed to perform in a business- like fashion. Canada Post is just one example of our success to promote efficiency in the operations of government. I would like to thank the almost 800 people who took the time to come out to my riding office on Canada Day. It is good to see that with all that has happened over the past few months, we still realize how fortunate we are to be Cana- dians. I would also like to recognize the important contribu- tion of the Ontario Riding business community and the many volunteers, as without their efforts, such a party would not have been possible. With Rene Soetens, M. P. In his February 1986 budget, the Minister of Finance call- ed on Canada Post to produce an operating plan that would eliminate the operating deficit subsidy and improve pro- ductivity by the end of the 1987-88 fiscal year. The plan has worked. During the 1988-89 fiscal year, Canada Past record- ed a modest profit for the first time in thirty years. Now, for the second time in as many years, Canada Post Corporation has achieved another milestone; a profit of $149 million, something difficult to have predicted only a few years ago. This year, the Corporation will give the federal govern- ment a $60 million dividend, essentially repaying a small portion of the huge debts paid by taxpayers over the past thirty years to keep the post offices running. While those in opposition claim that this profit has cane 1
