Those Cyclists
by Bob Watson
We remember all about riding a bicycle years ago when
we were young and getting a police officer to issue us with a
ticket for riding on the sidewalk in front of our house! To-
day no one seems to get a ticket for that offence - in fact, we
don't believe that anyone is told that riding on the sidewalks
is against the law.
And, of course, those cuts in the curbs to allow wheelchair
users to get from the road to the sidewalk without a pro-
blem were not constructed for cyclists! Those professional
cyclists use crosswalks - while still on the bike - and
sidewalks - in fact, anywhere a bike will go so they don't
have to wait for a traffic light etc.
We suggest that if professional cyclists wish to be treated
like vehicles on the roads they better start obeying the use
of the roads, sidewalks and crosswalks. They can't have it
both ways!
Mainstream Canada
Senate cynicism
By Terry O :Shaughnnessv
It's an amazing thing to
watch our unpopular federal
government at a time when
there's still more than two
years to go before the next
federal election.
It is as though the federal
Progressive Conservatives are
counting on the Canadian
general public to come down
with mass amnesia between
now and the next election.
What else could explain the
Tories' behavior in this, their
second term?
The country is still reeling
from the Meech Lake circus
where Prime Minister Brian
Mulroney performed his high -
wire act and lost his balance
while rolling the dice. It has yet
to accept Dr. !Michael Wilson's
prescription that the GST is a
good tonic for our ailing econ-
omy. And more than a few
Canadians wondered where the
prime minister was as the
Canadian Arm% and 4lohaw k%
squared off in Quebec And of
course there was his total lack
of leadership (not even a wage
of goodbye) when our service-
men and ser%icewomen boarded
obsolete warships to head off to
the volatile and dangerous
Persian Gulf region.
If all that wasn't enough to
chew on, then came the icing on
the cake—John Buchanan's
appointment to the Senate.
Symbolism, which political
pundits, PR types and other
insiders readily agree plays an
enormous role in how the public
views its leaders and political
parties, has been dreadful in the
Buchanan Senate appointment.
The naked cynical act where
Nova Scotia Premier Buchanan
was rescued from his scandal -
plagued swamp and dropped
into a Senate sinecure with
cushy life-long benefits served
up the worst kind of symbolism.
It dripped with the "public -be -
damned" message which has
become a trademark of too
many governments for too
many years. And with some
three years to go in his own term
of office, Buchanan himself
didn't appear to have any
qualms about grabbing hold of
Mulroney's offensive offer to
take an appointment that he has
been rumored to have been
coveting for longer than it takes
this country to build a frigate.
Ws. it is true that no wrong
doing has been proved concern-
ing the mess swirling around
Buchanan. And yes, he won't
be the first sickening example
of political opportunism and
outrageous choices to land in
the Senate. And yes, the federal
Liberal party . has no high
ground upon which to throw
moral brickbats at Mulroney's
glass house, in that they made
porkharrelling. Senate cynicism
and old -pal payoffs a fine art
during their years in power at
the federal level.
But there is something
w hich we believe our politicians
from an overall standpoint have
been missing for a long time,
and that is the general public
has come to their limits of toler-
ance. The 1990% are a new and
different era. People want
straight talk, and they can smell
manipulation a coast away. For
any political party or govern-
ment to count on an epidemic
of amnesia before any upcom-
ing election would, in our view,
be a trip through the Looking
Glass. Canadians are not
stupid, but they certainly are
long suffering- However, for
politicians to confuse Canadian
patience and tolerance with
indifference and stupidity is a
mistake that they will discover
when they next go to the polls.
If there is any doubt about this,
just ask former Ontario Liberal
premier David Peterson.

13,868 homes traded hands during august, 4.862 fewer than
the 18,750 transactions recorded the year before.

STATFACTS
Cimmlation of material held by public libraries has risen
steadily. Canadians borrowed 167 million library items in
1986, up 44% from 1978.
On average nationally, each Canadian age 15 and over
registered 6.6 transactions with a public library in 1986.
library use was higher in western areas and Ontario (9.7
transactions per individual in British Columbia, 9.5 in
Alberta, 7.6 in Saskatchewan, 7.5 in Ontario) and lower in
eastern areas (5.1 in Nova Scotia, 3.7 in Quebec, 3.3 in New-
foundland).
There was one public library outlet for every 8,200 Cana-
dians in 1986, an improvement from one for every 8,400 in
1978.
Public Complaints Report
The Eighth Annual Report of the Office of the Public
Complaints Commissioner has been released by Clare
Lewis, Commissioner, a former Provincial Court Judge
(Criminal Division), and Chairman of the Provincial Race
Relations and Policing Task Force, who directs the civilian
agency which handles complaints about the conduct of
police officers in Metro Toronto.
As Public Complaints Commissioner he has the right to
make recommendations as to changes in police practices
and procedures when such recommendations might help to
avoid complaints in the future. Together with a staff of 2D,
including 7 investigators, he is responsible for ensuring that
all complaints are dealt with promptly and fairly.
The system for handling complaints preserves the in-
volvement of the Metro Toronto Police in the investigation
and decision-making process, while providing for the
monitoring and reviewing of police investigations and deci-
sions by the Office of the Public Complaints Commissioner,
an independent civilian agency.
When he believes it is in the public interest, the Public
Complaints Commissioner may send cases to a Board of In-
quiry which is composed of a panel of citizens, independent
of both the police and the Commissioner's office. These
boards can dismiss complaints or discipline officers.
The Eighth Annual Report indicates that 671 cases were
closed in 1989. Complaints were registered at the Office of
the Public Complaints Commissioner in 40.3% of the cases,
at a police station of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force
in 41.7% of the cases, and at the Public Complaints In-
vestigation Bureau of the Metropolitan Toronto Police
Force in 11.8% of the cases. The other 6.2% of the cases
were initiated elsewhere, such as with the Chief of Police,
the Board of Commissioners of Police, etc.
Analysis of the closed cases revealed that the most com-
mon types of allegations were failure to act according to
proper police procedure, followed by threatening or
abusive behaviour, and physical assaultiexcessive use of
force. The three most common points of contact giving rise
to complaints were trafficlaccident investigation (27.3%),
criminal investigations (27.3%). and arrest (22.1%). In
50.2% of those incidents charges were laid under the
Criminal Code, provincial legislation or nxunicipal bylaws.
In 51 cases, complaints were resolved informally. In
these cases a written document, outlining the nature of the
complaint and the manner in which it was resolved, is sign-
ed by both the complainant and the police officer.
In 300 cases, the complaints were withdrawn by the com-
plainant.
The remaining 420 cases were fully investigated. In ac-
cordance with the legislation, monthly progress reports are
sent to the complainant, the subject officer. and the Public
Complaints Commissioner who during the initial stage
monitors the investigation. At the end of the investigation,
written reports are sent to all of these parties and the Chid
of Police makes a decision as to whether any further action
is warranted.
Of the 671 cases closed in 1989,134 complainants asked the
Public Complaints Commissioner to review the decision of
the Chief of Police.
Traffic Fatalities Down
With the number of road deaths down this year.the On-
tario Provincial Police is hoping that Thanksgiving Holiday
Weekend fatality statistics will be lower than last year.
Imp. Bill Wicklund says: "We've established a good
record during the first nine months of this year,., noting
that the 563 vehicle and pedestrian deaths investigated by
the O PP are down 8.8 percent from the same period of last
year.
Most road deaths in Ontario occur at week's end (on Fri-
day and Saturday) and holiday weekends often result in a
higher death rate.
During Tinanksgiving weekend last year, 11 people were
killed in accidents investigated by the OPP, the same
number as in 1987. In 1988, 10 people were killed Thanksgiv-
ing weekend.
Failure to wear seatbelts continues to be a contributing
factor. Persons killed in 113 of the 380 fatal vehicle ac-
cidents recorded so far in 1990, were not buckled up.
STATFACTS
ORANGES FOR SECRETARIES
The position of secretary was one of the first footholds for
women in the early days of their movement into the male -
dominated world of business. It is still a popular position for
today's business woman, although new office technology
has changed the job in many ways. Here are some Statistics
Canada facts and figures about secretaries.
Taking dictation, typing and answering the telephone us-
ed to be the major activities in most secretarial jobs. While
these continue today, many secretarial jobs are far more
complex, involving work with computers and other
sophisticated office techniques. But Statistics Canada
figures show that secretarial salaries have remained
relatively low. A full-time secretary averaged $18,400 a
year in 1985 compared with an average of $2o,000 for other
full-time female workers.

Farmers' Markets Are Popular
Step into one of Ontario's
80 farmers' markets and
step into a piece of living
history. Farmers' markets
have been with us since the
early 1900s, providing
growers with an ideal place
to peddle their wares -.td
consumers with the oppor-
tunity to buy the freshest
farm -grown goods
available.
The fresltness and quali-
ty is still one of the biggest
reasons people flock to
market, according to Bob
Cobbleddick, Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food market specialist.
There are farmers'
markets across the pro-
vince and many of them.
such as Toronto's St.
Lawrence Market, have
been long established.
There are many farmers
markets open all year
round, some run in the
summer months, others in
the fall. By-laws govern
whether they sell only pro-
duce, or if meat, fish,
cheese, baked goods and
arts and crats can be sold
as well.
Buy the food Ontario
grows during Agri -Food
Week, Sept. 30th to Oct.

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON STAGE:
Of relatively recent
years there has been a
spate of one person shows
in which a performer por-
trays another artist or per-
sonnage. Hal Holbrook has
become a wealthy man
with his Hal Holbrook
Tonight. Henry Honda did
the only true acting of his
career as Charles Darrow,
For the Defence.
James Whitmore has ap-
off
peared as Harry S Truman
and Will Rogers. Emlyn
Williams appeared as the
writer in an evening of
readings from Charles
Dickens. It seems to us that
he once brought the show
into the the Bayview
Playhouse.

of the original Star Trek,
with her one woman show
titled Reflections.
It's a show in which she
gives musical and dance
impressions some of the
performing artists who
have meant much to her.
Those artists are Lena
Horne, Ethel Waters,
Florence Mills, Josephine
Baker, Sarah Vaughan,
Mahalia Jackson, Billie
Holiday, Leontyne Price,
Katherine Dunham, Ear-
tha Kitt, Pearl Bailey, Ma
Rainey, Bessie Smith and
Ella Fitzgerald. Quite an
undertaking.
She does not, however,
sing the songs most
recognizable as having
been sung by them. Her
songs are all original and
written by James
Meecham.
In many interviews Miss
Nicholls has stated that her
decision not to go with the
•.originals.. is based on her
feeling that the public
might not accept her with
them: that she might be un-
favourably compared.
Well maybe, but we think
the lady has made a
mistake. Her talent for
visual and vocal imitation.
aided by a remarkable and
true four octave voice, is
such that she need not fear
disapproval. Her Sarah
Vaughan is spot on, her
Eartha Kitt is just it and
her Josephine Baker is
some shaker. Those are
just a few of her represen-
tational triumphs.

musical talents are not well
served by her material.
Mr. Meecham's songs are
undeniably pleasant but
quite unmemorable. There
is no bite to them and the
only recalled melodic line
is in the salute to Josephine
Baker. It's borrowed, un-
consciously we're sure,
from the late La Baker's
Two Loves Have I, Mon
Amour et Paris.
Miss Nichols moves well
and delivers the spirit of
Katherine Dunham if not
her spark and does well, we
think, as Florence Mills.
The qualification is in-
serted because there are no
recordings of the former
Blackbirds star. Neither
are there any, we believe,
of Ma Rainey so one can on-
ly assume validity while
enthusiastically proclaim-
ing enjoyment.
In fact, we proclaim that
Reflections is a most en-
joyable show and worthy of
custom. Still, one can't help
wishing that she had sung

piness is Just a Thing Call-

there are copywrite or con-

The Canadian Stage
Company's Fall season
begins tanorrow evening
with the play Speed -The
-Plow. a comedy about the
motion picture industry.
It was a success on
Broadway with Ron Silver
who was in our town
recently flecking his latest
film. Joe Mantegna and
Madonna. the more or less
singer who performs in an
imitation corset.
If our memory serves, it
( the play) was originally
scheduled for the Royal
Alex and was to have star-
red George Segal and
Brooke Shields. Contrac-
tual obligations prevented
the appearance of Miss
Shields -more or less mer-
cifully it seems to us -and
Mr. Segal was not con-
sidered
arsidered a big enough box
office draw to justify a na-
tional tour. Pity. And, we
can say that after having
seen him perform in Dou-
ble Act last Spring at Stage
West.
Anyway, Speed -The
-Plow is a most amusing
work and recommended by
us, particularly with a
director such as Neil
Munro.
Wish we could be there
but our Fast Exit will ex-
plain why we will not have
the pleasure of attendance
at the Bluma Appel for an
undoubted evening of
laughter.

Celebrating
The Environment
The University of Toron-
to's Scarborough Campus
will Celebrate the En-
vironment' with an Open
House on Sat. Oct. 13 from
10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Open House is Scar-
borough's way of
celebrating U of T Day,
which is happening on all
three U of T campuses the
same day. The Sarborough
Campus is located at 1265
Military Trail and
Ellesmere Road, east of
Morningside.
Featured will be a host of
displays, demonstrations
and activities, a Children's
Fair with games and pony
rides, tours of the Scar-
borough Campus buildings,
and more.
The environmental
theme has attracted par-
ticipation from local
groups, especially -Save
the Rouge Valley System".
Students in grades 7 to 11
have been invited to enter
the •'Poetree" competition
by writing poerns with an
environmental theme.
A panel of literary ex-
perts will judge the entries
and award prizes. The win-
ning entries will be
featured at a special poetry
reading at the Open Hosue.
Children of all ages have
been invited to contribute
artwork depicting their
support for the Rouge
valley. The pictures will be
put together to form a
mural, which will be on
display for the day. The
following week, it will be
sent to Queen's Park.
A number of interactive
displays and demonstra-
tions will illustrate the
ongoing research projects
of many Scarborough Cam-
pus professors. Among
them are a test which helps
reveal how our brains pro-
cess information, a
machine which monitors
your voice patterns, and
demonstrations using the
25m soil erosion research
flume, which is used to test
how soil erosion occurs
tinder various conditions in
different parts of the world.
You'll be able to look
through the telescope on
the roof (weather permit-
ting), watch chemistry in
action and view the tiniest
particles through the elec-
tron microscope.
Another big event will be
the grand opening of the
new Scarborough Campus
Child Care Centre, recently
named N'Sheernaeln, (a
native work meaning
..chickadee": also, "my
younger brother or
sister. " )
After the opening
ceremonies at 11 a.m. there
will be a Children's Fair on
the site featuring clowns,
face painting, Birds of
Prey from the Metro Zoo,
and much more.
Everyone is welconw to
attend all the events. ad-

men so far, with most of
those calls coming within
the last two weeks," says
Barbara Hickey, Ex-
ecutive Director of Big
Brothers of Metro. "We
hope that this momentum
generated by the coverage
of our recent special
events, can continue to br-
ing the necessary
responses - particularly in
Scarborough, Rexdale and
Downsview - and help us
achieve this important
goal. Many boys in those
areas have been waiting
for a long time.'
To become a Big
Brother, a man must be 21
or older, and able to share
four hours per week for a
year or longer. The agency
would particularly like to
hear from men from
Metro's many ethnic com-
munities and those bet-
ween the ages of 40 and 60.
Men from both of these
groups have traditionally
not been well represented
among the agency's
volunteers. Those in-
terested in volunteering
are urged to call 925-8961.
Big Brothers is a preven-
tative service for boys
from father -absent homes
and a member agency of
the United Way.

36th.Annual Indian Summer Races
by Jerry Hudson
The last regional
motorsports event of the
season was held at Mosport
Park on the weekend of
Sept. 22123 when the British
Empu a Motor Club staged
its 38th annual Indian Sum-
mer Trophy Races.
Unionville driver Rick
ast
event of waited
year to stheweep
everryy race he entered. His
No 99 Formula 2000
Reynard took four races
two in the F1600/F2000/F4
event and two more in For-
mula Libre. Up to then,
Choy had not appeared on
The No 24- Re of
nemount's Paul Shermet
Schomberg's Mary -
CulSaturday, ,?aced broth crraMcshed
in Sunday's sprints.
Shermet had an early
retirement with his F00 20s
wing askew, and Mc-
Cullough dropped two
wheels over the speed -
bumps on the pit -straw t,
over -corrected and then
spun into the guard-rail,
prematurely ending her
race.
The two Formula 1200
events were won by
Niagara Falls' Jay Mason
on his No. 89 RTJ-01. Scar-
borough's Matt Couveart
had the misfortune of get.
ting a 30 second penalty on
Saturday for passing under
a yellow caution flag. 'I'he
flag had been out for
several laps, Couveart ex-
plained. •'The two leadi
cars hit each other, and
had to keep my foot in it

What eLsencro�t towards I me.
Because of the penalty.
seen as unfair by almost
everyone, Matt fu fished 5th
on the Saturday and came
in 4th in the slightly wet
raceon Sunday.
In Vintage races, the
No.40 Cooper Formula
Junior of David
C ronenberg took two wins.
Veteran Klaus Schonfield
of Whitby drove his im-
maculate black Volvo PV
544 to two 2nds, and
Caledon's Walt MacKay
had two 3rds on his Porsche
356A.
Ahmad Khodkar of Don
Mills easily won both
G72 GT3 races on the
familiar blue No l l '.Nissan
2407. His main competition
came from another "Z"
driven by Miss
John Cosgrove, and the
Nissan 9210 of Yince
Whitehead. Both of those
drivers took a 2nd.
Showroom Stock action
saw the Toyota MR2 of
Mississauga's Lloyd Ser-
vice take both events. A
name from the past, Ser-
vice was chased but not
beaten by the No. 11 Dodge
Daytona of Peterboro s
=Street who took wo
2nds. Toronto's John
DeMaria drove his No. 97
Honda CRX to two 3rds.
Weston's Rudy Bartling
had no prni
oblems winng
both GTI, Porsche Tur-
bo GS races on his No.750
Porsche Carrera. Terry
Martell's "The Beast" No.
20 GT1 Camaro took 2nd on
Saturday, and Brampton's
Ron Gray drove a master-
ful race on Sunday to fain
2nd. Martel withdrew from
that event because of the
wet track condition.
(Although there is a
windshield -wiper switch in-
side his Camaro, the
wipers are absent.)
East York's Kathryn
Teasdale's IROC-Z vanish-
ed from sight in a huge
cloud of white smoke at the
chequered -flag in Sunday's
event. In fact her engine
had blown at the final ins-
tant, completing her day on
a sour note.
Saturday's Special GT
race was postponed until
early Sunday morning, and
when it finally was run in
the rain Bud Street's
Daytona took the win. The
cold and wet weather caus-
ed 9 drivers to rethink their
positions and chose not to
start the race. They were
the wise ones, as 7 others
spun and/or crashed and
didn't finish.
Sundays scheduled
Special GT race was taken
M!he Uarrera of
Etobicoke's Rainer
Brezinka followed home by
the No. 157 Mustangg of Lon-
don's Neil Lan Third was
Nick Holmes' &maro.
A special treat for
youngsters were two laps
around Mosport on Satur-
day for 22 children of the
Metro Area Big Brothers.
Organized by Formula 1200
Association racer Oliver
Bodeman, the kids were
taken around by race
drivers in their road -cars
to get an idea of what it's
like to drive the 2.5 mile,
10 -corner Mosport course.

Service
Going above and beyond
the call of duty - that's what
Four Seasons service is all
about, and recently a
dedicated Four Seasons
Toronto employee
demonstrated just that.
Clara Sancho, front desk
receptionist, was put to a
challenging test, and pass -
d Aith flying colours.
The Challenge? Guests of
-he hotel went out for din-
ner one night, leaving their
eight year old son behind in
the room. The Spanish-
speaking boy became
frightened and called the
front desk looking for his
parents. Clara Sancho im-
me-chately responded in the
boy's native tongue, calm-
ed him down. and sent milk
and cookies up to his room.
The boy was only tem-
porarily pacified, and call-
ed the front desk again, at
which point Clara, without
a second thought,
demonstrated going above
and beyond the call of duty
by taking the boy, getting
him into a eb, and reuniting
him with his parents at a
local restaurant.
Four Seasons Toronto is
proud to have an employee
such as Clara who went
that extra mile, and took a
potentially difficult situa-
tion and turned it into a
positive sequel. The boy
was happy. the parents
were happy. and Clara
made a new friend.

Dedicated Diver Programs
Expanded At Club Med
Created in 1969 at just
two locations: Turkoise
(Turks & Caicos Islands),
and Sonora Bay (Mexico),
Club Med's Dedicated
Diver Program was ex-
panded this year to two ad-
ditional villages: St. Lucia
( West Indies, a "Family
Village"), and Moorea
(Tahiti).
This two-pronged pro-
gram set up to satisfy the
[reeds of both the certified
diver and the serious
novice, bridges the gap for
those who want a real dive
vacation but also want a
variety of sports, ac-
tivities, great food and
entertainment after the
diving is over.
Each of the four
Dedicated Diver Programs
operate in a similar
fashion. Divers who are
certified and have their
C -card go out on two one-
tank
netank dives a day, and
several night dives ( not of-
fered in Moorea) during
the week.
There is no extra charge
for deep dives nor for use of
the scuba equipment which
is all top of the line:
Scubapro regulators with
depth and pressure gauges.
tanks, BC's, weights, fins,
masks, dive lights, dive
bags and a storage locker.
All deep dives are plann-
ed with the club's instruc-
tors guides and each diver
can dive Buddy system
with another certified diver
or join a small group head-
ed by a Club Med instruc-
tor guide.
There are at least two
dive boats at each centre
and all boats are preloaded
with air-filled tanks. A
medical doctor accom-
panies all dives and also
administers medical ex-
aminations to those who do
not have a medical release
from their own doctor.
Each village also has a
meeting centre where
seminars, videos and slide
presentations on diving are
held. Advanced certifica-
tion courses in specialty
areas such as Advanced
Open Water Diver, Night
Diver. etc. can be com-
pleted for an extra charge
of $100 U.S. per course.
For the Novice Diver
Only at the Dedicated
Dive Centres can the
serious beginning diver
earn NAUI or PARI cer-
tification. The cost is $15o
U.S. and all equipment is
provided. Recognized
worldwide, these certifica-
tion programs combine
Glasswork and theory with
water exercises.
A Taste of Scuba
For potential divers who
only want to experience a
bit about scuba, Club Med
offers a 4 lesson introduc-
tion culminating in a deep
dive. This resort course is
free of charge at all Club
Med villages which feature
scuba diving: Turkoise
( Turks & Caicos). Sonora
Bay, Cancun (Mexico),
Moorea ( Tahiti ), St. Lucia
( West Indies), Buccaneer's
Creek (Martinique) and
Eleuthera ( Bahamas ).
All inclusive weekly
rates without air at these
villages and Moorea from
$960 to $1196: Sonora Bay
from $755 to 5890: St. Lucia
from $840 to $1250 and
Turkoise from $1060 to
$1400.
Rates for Christmas and

higher.

with Rene Soetens, M.P.
In recent years, Canadians have become increasingly
aware of the necessity to balance the requirements of
economic development with those of the preservation of
natural resources and the environment. Canada has set
itself the goal of becoming the most environment -friendly
indt>strialized nation in the world by the year 2D00, and the
Government is taking steps to bring us closer to that goal.
One of the more important of these steps is the implemen-
tation of Bill C-78, an act to establish the Federal En-
vironmental Assessment Process. One of the main pur-
poses of the Act will be to ensure that the environmental ef-
fects of projects receive careful consideration before
responsible authorities take action in connection with them.
In addition, the Act will serve to encourage responsible
authorities to take actions that will promote and maintain a
healthy environment and a healthy economy. It will also en-
sure that serious adverse environmental effects of projects
to be carried out in Canada or on federal lands do not occur
outside the jurisdictions in which the projects are carried
out.
Bill -78 will help create an environmental assessment pro-
cess
rocess that is more powerful in its impact on decision-making
than any other in the world. It will do this by entrenching in
legislation, for the fust time, the federal government's
obligation to integrate environmental considerations into
its project planning and implementation processes.
Although environmental assessment has been in use as a
planning tool in Canada since 1974, there have been a
number of problems with previous guidelines.
For example, the earlier guidelines empowered the
Minister responsible for a given project to decide if any en-
vironmental assessment was needed. Bill C-78 would
transfer this decision to the jurisdiction of the Minister of
the Environment.
In addition, the proposed Bill requires full public par-
ticipation in the initial phase of an environmental assess-
ment, which was not provided for in earlier legislation.
The effects of Bill C-78 could in fact be felt in this area.
The Act's definition of "physical works" is sufficiently
broad so as to include any "physical activities" that have
an environmental impact. For example, plans to further
any project an the Pickering Airport lands would be subject
to the normal process of review, if it was determined that
such a project might constitute an important environmen-
tal impact.
It is my opinion that these advances, combined with an
overall clarification of the roles and resporsibihties of
federal agencies and bodies in the environmental assess-
ment process, make Bill C-78 a highly effective piece of
legislation.
Even as you read, Canadian forces are moving into posi-
tion to join other members of the United Nations in the em-
bargo of Iraq. Canada's contribution to the UN Security
Council's initiative consists of three warships, with a total
complement of 800 crew members, and a squadron of CF -l8
Hornet fighter-bombers, with a total of 450 pilots and
ground crew.
Many Canadians, some with friends or relatives being
sent into this highly volatile situation, are asking questions
regarding the procedures necessary to send our troops
abroad on such a mission.
t'aliiament was not yet in session, and the deployment of
troops was accomplished without debate in the House of
Commons. Why was this the case? The answer to this ques-
tion is to be found in the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985,
Volume VI. Paragraph 31 of the National Defense AM
states:
The Governor in Council may place the Canadian Forces
or any component, unit or other element thereof or any of-
ficer or man therof on active service anywhere in or beyond
Canada at any time when it appears advisable to do so.
(a) by reason of an emergency, for the defense of Canada;
or
(b) in consequence of any action undertaken by Canada
under the United Nations Charter, the North Atlantic Trea-
ty or any other similar instrument for collective defense
that may be entered into by Canada.
The last provision is the one invoked by the Prime
Minister in response to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, and the
resultant UN sanctions and multinational embargo.
While I strongly endorse the Prime Minister's initiative
in acting to defend the integrity of a sovereign nation, it is
my sincere hope that the present crisis in the Persian Gulf
can be brought to a peaceful resolution, allowing our men
and women in the forces to come back to us unharmed.
FREEDOM FROM FEAR
