The Phase 1 Report was accepted by the Minister of Health and an announcement pertaining to the allocation was made on June 19th at the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital. The next step is to develop a Health Systems Review to undertake a long range plan for Durham Region. Terms of reference, membership and mandate have yet to be finalized.

Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. No%ember :'fit, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us At Queer's Park by Bob Watson The first words on action by the Rae government at Queen's Park were spoken by Lieutenant Governor Lincoln Alexander in the inaugural speech. Generally speaking the words weren't too wild or socialist but two items are of concern to the business com- munity - in fact, critical. The first is the ridiculous Pay Equity legislation, an idea about which most voters are absolutely unknowlegeable as most think it means equal pay for equal work. No, I'm sorry, it is a feminist demand which is dedicated to have all females in our population equal in pay to all males regardless of what jobs they perform. This means that an arbitrary decision is made by so- meone from government to compare a job group held main- ly by women to a group held mainly by men. the objective is to have the total wages earned by women in Ontario equal to that earned by men. At the moment in Canada the feminists have taken the statistics which show that women as a group earn only 60% of the salaries earned by men. The end result of this Pay Equity action will be a cost to our economy of hundreds of millions of dollars and a worst force which will consume a lot more dollars than before, our cost of living will be up and our ability to sell our pro- ducts to lower and more normally paid people in the United States will be greatly curtailed. Pay Equity, in our opinion, is one of the worst platforms in the socialist system and should never be put into action in the market place. The other worrisome words from Queen's Paris relate to the minimum wage which currently is $5.40 per hour. The Rae government feels that everyone should be closer to the industrial workers rate of $11.51) per hour. If this minimum rate is raised too high or too quickly it will accelerate the demise of thousands more small businesses, which are already in trouble with high interest rates and the recession as well as the GST from Ottawa.

Gold Plated Pension Dear Sir: Your readers, with other Canadian taxpayers, are the victims of an expensive cover-up being camel out by our elected leaders in Ottawa. Our Members of Parliament currently have a gold-plated pension plan that is truly outrageous. After only six years in office. MPs can start collecting their pensions the very day they leave Parliarment, regardless of their age. What's worse is that MPs of all parties are deliberately covering up the true cost to taxpayers of this lavish scheme. A recent report by the federal government's chief ac- tuary showed that the MP pension plan is $144 million in the red' Who will have to pay this huge IOU? The taxpayers of Canada. Until recently, no one had heard about this huge liability because it was handed over to a House of Commons Com- mittee that meets in secret and publishes no minutes. The whole situation is shameful. MPs should come clean and fundamentally reform their pension plan. MPs are now held in disrespect: they've earned it. They'll get respect when they start to lead by example.

(Photos - Bob Walson Hicks Says Canada's Role In Gulf Is Essential Scarborough East MP Bob Hicks says Canadian Armed Forces in the Persian Gulf are a testament to Canada's dis- dain toward international aggression. Canada's three navy destroyers, 18 CF -18 fighter jets and 1,500 members of the armed forces in the gulf are Canada's reaction to Iraq's merciless quashing of Kuwait, says Hicks. He believes our troops and equipment should remain in the area until the threat of further aggression is past. "Historically. Canada has always opposed aggression," says Hicks. "lt would be uncharacteristic for Canada to refuse to take part in the gulf conflict. We have allied with several other countries to stop Iraq president Saddam Hus- sein in his tracks." Hicks, who is chairman of the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association and a member of the Standing Commmittee on National Defence and Veteran's Affairs, believes Iraq would likely continue to overrun small coun- tries in the Middle East i it is not opposed. "Iraq has a standing army of a million with 5,000 tanks at its disposal," he explains. "That's more than all the other Middle East countnes combined. It's up to the rest of the world to ensure the nearby countries aren't gobbled up, too. Hicks says the decision to keep Canadian fares in the Here and There $351,529 To nary Centre Tanana Akande, Ontario's Minister of Community and Social Services, has announced a total of $441,529 in grants and annual funding to Mary Centre, in Scarborough. The money will be used for a residential program and a com- munity support pilot project to benefit seniors with developmental disabilities who live in Scarborough. Mrs. Akande said that the funding includes $232,454 for program operations at a new home in Scarborough for four seniors with developmental disabilities. The home also has an additional bed available for respite use by elderly in- dividuals with developmental disabilities who do not live in the home. The respite bed is provided for the seniors who live with their families, but visit the home while family members have an occasional break from their own caregiv- ing. Christmas appeal The Salvation Army's Christmas Appeal is now being mailed to thousands of homes and businesses in Metro Toronto. This appeal is the final segment of the Army's an- nual appeal to assist the 58 services throughout the Metro area. With an overall objective of $8,000,000 the campaign has received $5,570,000 and the goal is in sight, says Major Hugh Tilley, Campaign Director. PCB decontamination update Ontario Hydro's mobile PCB decontamination unit spent December at the Bruce Nuclear Power Development near Owen Sound. By mid -month the utility met its goal which was to eliminate over one million litres of PCB con- taminated oil in the province. Total decontamination of oil in 1969 was 1,074,545 litres. gulf is not a hawkish action to promote war. "Canada has an international reputation as a peacekeeper and it's well-deserved." he said. "Sometimes a situation arises where we have little choice but to threaten to take up arms. We have been forced to rise to the occasion by an unscrupulous government with apparent evil intentions." The MP says he is prod of Canada's quick reaction when Kuwait fell into Iraqi hands in August. "It was amazing how naval persminel retrofitted our ships for action in just two weeps," says Hicks. "Canada's armed forces are the finest in the world and we should all be proud of them. We will all breathe easier when their jobs are completed and Iraq is no longer a threat to interna- tional security." He says Canada's decision to send troops to the gulf was not predicated on action taken by the United States. "The Canadian government made up its own mind to send a message to Saddam Hussein." he said. "Those peo- ple who claim Canada is merely taking orders from the U.S. will note there were no Canadians sent to Viet Nam under government orders. We don't feel compelled to follow the U.S. into battle. The choice was our own and it always will be." Agri -Food Quiz 1. The highest percentage of export sales of Ontario pork is to Japan. True or false'. False. The United States purchases 85 percent of our pork exports. Pork is Ontario's number one agricultural export and it's second only to Wheat in Canada. 2- Yukon Gold is the name of a variety of what vegetable? Potato. It is a distinctive yellow -fleshed variety of potato bred here in Ontario. Yukon Gold is excellent served boiled, mashed, batted or french fried. There are approximately 15 different varieties of potatoes. Other popular varieties are Shepody, Kennebec, Norchip, Chieftain and Atlantic. Here and There Get Home Alive The way you throw a holiday party can help save lives, the Canadian Automobile Association says. About 42% of all holiday traffic fatalities in Ontario are alcohol-related, Pat Curran of CAA Toronto said. Those planning Christmas or New Year's Eve parties can help keep their guests from becoming a statistic by following some basic guidelines, Curran said. Never force drinks on guests and watch for those who are overindulging. Slow down those who are drinking too much by engaging them in conversation and encouraging them to eat. Put away the alcohol early and serve plenty of food, e4 - fee and dessert. Protein -rich and starchy food helps minimize the absorption of alcohol in the bloodstream, Cur- ran said. "The best thing a host can do is organize a carpool or ar- range for designated drivers," Curran said. "If it's needed, call a cab. But do not let friends who are impaired try to drive home." ---------------------------------------- Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Darkwel's Night of Magic opened at the Bayview Playhouse on Nov. 20th. Why? Old Joke No.2. This is from the late Harry Hirschfeld and is the com- ment of an elderly couple upon their return from a disappointing visit to a resort in the Catskills. The food was just plain poison. . and such small portions too!, Old joke No.2 is not a reference to the nice buffet served after the opening but rather the performance itself. Peter Darkwel is a man of modest talent who can- not seem to decide whether to be a funster who per- forms tricks of prestigita- tion or a trickster who essays humour. He is not notably successful as either. His "illusions" are familiar ones and not well performed. They are figuratively and almost literally transparent. The only true humour derives from his stage presence or perhaps one should say. lack of same. His appearance and dress is that of a Dead End Kid dressed by Goodwill. His delivery is almost sibilant. The props are not well constructed and up close, look quite dirty. Are we being too harsh' Possibly, but if so, it is because of what we con- sider to be his nerve in br- inging such a show into a good theatre such as the Bayview. Confidence is fine and every performer must have it. Chutzpah is ever better. Each quality, however, must be engendered by quality of product. There is as yet no real quality in Darkwel's Night of Magic. One supposes is does well on the banquet or service club luncheon circuit. It probably goes over very well at private parties. It does not cut it, however, in a legitimate theatre. Still, one doesn't wish to dismiss the show entirely. There were many children in the opening night au- dience and they seemed to enjoy the tricks. Probably because they're in such small portions.. children's portions. ON T.V. This Sunday on CBC -TV.

KIDD'S DATE BOOK: The Desrosiers Dance Theatre opens its produc- tion of Incognito tonight at Harbourfront's Premiere Dance Theatre. The title seems appropriate to us. If we attend, as is our hopeful intention, it'll have to be in- cognito after some of our less than kind previous reviews of Desrosiers' choreography - Previewing begins this Friday of La Maison Suspendu at The Stage Downstairs 36 Berkeley St. Presented by the Canadian Stage Company, this is the world English language premiere of the Michel Tremblay play. Advance word tells us that La Maison Suspendu is a sweeping portrait of Quebecois society. We wish it well and hope that in some way we can find out just wotinell it is that Quebec wants.

We keep hearing on radio that it's worth the trip to Acton. Well maybe, but we think it's better to journey to Bathurst and Bloor. Opening on Dec. 4th at 'The Elgin with special previews is Oba Oba. The show features over 5o dancers, singers and musi- cians and is the closest thing to the Rio de Janiero Carnival outside of Rio itself. We'll be reviewing it, of course, but we suggest in advance that this is ex- cellent holiday time enter- tainment. Oba Oba will run until Jan. 6th with special extra performances to be an- nounced. Now, where's our old carnival whistle? Dionne Warwick and Gregory Hines perform at The O'Keefe on Dec. 6th and 7th. It's not known as we go to press whether this is a packge or a book show but either way, it should be a good one. For the children you might be interested in Piney. The Talking Christmas Tree opening at the Bathurst Street Theatre to run through Jan. 6th. Must confess we don't know the work but are told that it was written and first performed in 1973. The musical takes audiences on a journey into a wondrous forest grove following the adventures of Piney, a chatty little pine tree sear- ebing for the perfect gift for Santa Claus. Sounds cute. Certainly it'll be a change from Teenage Mu- tant Nmja Turtles. Bag Babies continues to draw well at Theatre Passe Muraille. It's scheduled to run till Dec. 9th but it wouldn't surprise if the run is extended. Don't count on it, however; get your tickets now if you haven't already seen this mildly corrosive comedy. TWO RITAS: Rita Macneil's latest album release for Virgin Records is Home I'll Be and individual cuts from it are receiving more than passing air play. Miss Macneil, as most readers will know, is a Maritimes lady with girth surpassing that of the late Kate Smith and a wonder- fully sweet face reminis- cent of another Maritimer also, alas no longer with us, Marg Osborne. Vocally, however, she should not be compared to either. As much as can be said of anyone, she has a unique voice that gives power to everyday utterances. Having said that, may we now suggest and wish that on future albums and in future appearances, the lady might consider sing- ing some standards. We'd love to hear her do Love Walked In. Also to hand is the latest from Rita Coolidge. It's Fire Me Back and is the first for her new label, At- tic. It was recorded in Toron- to and features songs by Canadians Stan Meissner, Shirly Eikhard (who's never made it big because there is room for only one Anne Murray), David Tyson, Shari Ulrich, Dean On Sat.

The album deserves to do well but it's hard to say; audiences are so fickle. On ber last appearance at the Imperial Room here, Miss Coolidge did not attract large audiences - enthusiastic ones it's true but not large. What a pity and what a shame.

ON RECORD: We've received several talking story book albums for children. ( Indeed, we have a plenitude, almost a plethora of albums for children and we can't frankly, review them all. One can read quickly but the listening processes simply cannot be speeded.) We've not had the time to listen to the following but know the label (Rabbit Ears Productions) and are willing to recommend them even unheard. In order but not necessarily in order of worth, they are as follows. Danny Glover Reads Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby with music by Taj Mahal. Meg Ryan reads Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks with music by Art Lande. Jonathan Winters reads Paul Bunyan with music by Leo Kottke and Duck Baker. Sir John Gielgud reads The Emperor's New Clothes with music by Mark Lsham. Following the deaths of James Mason and Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud has the finest speaking voice in English theatre. What a joy to hear him declaiming this marvellous story, one that our Prime Minister might do well to take to heart. FAST EXIT: The resignation of Margaret Thatcher -for heaven's sake, don't call her Maggie or Meg! - prompts us to recall these words from Henry Twells. No word from thee can fruitless fall.

The primary study area will consist of the existing City Centre. located bet- ween highway 401 and Ellesmere Road, and ex- tending to the east of Mc- Cowan Road and to the west of Brimley Road. In addition. the study will take into account the im- pact of additional develop- ment proposals within the Progress Industrial District (extending the primary study area east to Bellamy Road and west to Midland Avenue). The study's recommen- dations will provide valuable input for the development of residential and commercial projects in the City Centre and area, and may provide the basis for future Official Plan Amendments. The study will be conducted in 3 stages with regular oppor- tunities for public involve- ment in the preparation of and review of strategic development options, and consideration of final recommendations. Three public information meetings are to be held over the course of the study period. The first public meeting is scheduled for Nov. 27th, in the Scar- borough Civic Centre at 4:30 ("open house" to be held in the central space) and at 7 p.m. ( presentation in Room M41-42). This will be an informal opportunity for the public to meet with the planning and strategy team, which will be on hand to explain the study process, meet members of the public, and receive comments and sug- gestions. All members of the public are encouraged to submit their ideas in writing. Comment sheets will be available at all public meetings. Now is the time to train for your Class -AZ- licence.

Axl 11/—� Community Sports Notes Riverdale Wins 4th. Title Riverdale Collegiate's junior volleyball team cap- ped an excellent season by winning its 4th Toronto Secondary Schools Athletic Association championship. The Raiders, led by cap- taim Hua Chi Phung and George "Lefty" Petkos, had a real battle in the final against a determined Jar- vis Bulldog squad. Trailing 13-7 in the first set, ex- cellent serving by Chi Kien Ngo, a back court specialist, accounted for seven points as the R.C.I. club fought back to win 1513. The second set was equally tough as the teams exchanged points, but eat sets by Due Sam and hheads up play by Kenny Ngo kept the Raiders in the game - Tommy Liu was a force in this game with great serves and some resoun- ding hits. Middles, Nam Chu and David Kwan, blocked well and were helped by Jho You who carne off the bench to seal the victory, 1512. Winning the city cham- pionship was the culmina- tion of a great season and a great team effort by River - dale's juniors. Earlier in the year they won the Riverdale Junior Invita- tional Tournament and earned the silver medals at the Wexford and Dumbar- ton Tournaments. The common factor in Riverdale's success over the past 4 years has been the coaching of Ken Lee. A graduate of Riverdale, Ken played volleyball and basketball during his years at R. C. 1. His knowledge of volleyball and his patient effective teaching methods create an atmosphere which allows individuals to develop into champHins. Riverdale is fortunate to have Ken take time from his busy schedule as a com- puter salesperson to share his knowledge with their teams. Riverdale's senior volleyball team also had a very successful season. The team was highly skill- ed and played excellent defence. Coached by Peter Warren and grads Ray Eng and Larry Hum, the team won the bronze medal (for third place), in the prestigious Applewood Tournament which featured 24 top Ontario high school teams. Coaches and players from all teams marvelled at the teams ability and how well they played in spite of having a height disadvantage in every match. The highlight of the season for the senior Raiders was journeying to Vancouver B.C. to compete in the Sandcastle Invita- tional International Volleyball Tournament. The players and coaches fund raised to pay for their trip and had an excellent experience, except for the rainy weather. They competed against teams from California, Alberta, and British CoI- umbia and won the bronze medal for their efforts. Jeff Chang was selected as a tournament all-star. The team presented themselves so well that they were honoured by being selected as the winners of 'The Most Sportsman-like Team" award. Led by captains, Siu On Wong and Jason Liu, the senior team finished the regular season in second place. In the playoffs they dispatched Central Tech and Leaside before advanc- ing to the finals against Fast York. Strong hitting by Ming Wai Won and Siu On made the first set close, but East York prevailed 15-9. Vince Jung made some super serves in the second game and Philip Tam blocked well to rally the team to a 159 win and tie the match. Unfortunately, the larger East York team prevailed to win the cham- pionship but the Raiders, cheered on by a great throng of fans earned the respect of all who witness- ed them play.

Newcomers Harold Dunham and Steve Gabryelczyk will add re- bounding help. David Kwan, Steve Kalonormos, and Dickey Etto are trying to make the big jump from List year's bantam team to the junior ranks.

Per- ron, President, National Research Council of Canada who will speak on "The High -Tech Challenge". In today's fast -paced, knowledge -intensive marketplace, businesses that wish to secure a lucrative niche in a global market must remain at the leading edge of science and technology. Most businesses however, do not have the financial resources to con- duct world-class research and development on their own. Nor can any business afford to waste time by working in isolation on pro- jects that could be com- pleted more quickoy through alliances with other R & D experts. The National Research Council has a mandate to work with industry to pro- mote R & D that will help Canadian industry, and Dr. Perron will outline some of the types of partnerships and alliances through which NRC can help Cana- dian industry to meet the challenges of the 1990s. The luncheon is on Wed. Nov. 28th at the Chimo Hotel, 7095 Woodbine Ave. north of Steeles from 12 p.m. The cost is $25 for members and $30 for non- members. Please reserve in advance at 477-1727.

Included in the discus- sions were the continuing problem of controller staff- ing at Pearson, the propos- ed additional runways, and the future role of the Toron- to Island Airport. LABOUR RELATIONS Representatives of the board's Labour Relations Committee met in early Ju- ly with officials of the On- tario Ministry of Labour's Policy Branch to discuss a tentative agenda in conntec- tion with a comprehensive review of the Employment Standards Act. The board stressed that the act should continue to provide minimum stan- dards of employment prac- tices for the province and also indicated that there was no perceived need for major. changes to the legislation. Representatives of the board's Labour Relations Committee also met in mid-August with an offical of the Office of the Employer Adviser, Ontario Ministry of Labour, to ex- change comments on the Workers' Compensation Board's Discussion Paper on the Second Injury and Enhancement Fuad.

Over the years, Montser- rat has created a solid repeat factor in its tourism industry, and is one of the only Caribbean islands where more visitors stay in villas and private homes than in hotels. Villa owners and the Ministry of Tourism have worked hard during the 14 months which have passed since Hurricane Hugo swept by Montserrat, and this winter, Montserrat is ready to welcome visitors once again. In 1968, Montserrat, one of the two remaining British colonies in the Caribbean, hosted 17,876 visitors. The lion's share came from other Carib- bean islands ( 32%) and the United States (38% ) , while Canada was its third most important market, pro- viding 10% of all arrivals. That year, only 14% of all Canadian visitors stayed in hotels, while 40% stayed in villas, and the remainder (46%) stayed in private hones. Indeed, when all in- ternational arrivals are considered, hotels ac- counted for only 22% of all stay -over guests. A visit to one of these villas makes it easy to understand why they are so popular. Many were built as holiday homes by Mont- serratians living overseas, and by ex -patriots who spend a month on the island in winter. LuacuriouLs, well - cared and providing all amenities imaginable, most of the villas have swimming pools, provide maid service, and are located near the sea. Ken Meade, a Montserra- tian living in Ontario, owns two villas on the island, which have hosted visitors ranging from international musical stars such as Elton John and Stevie Wonder, to business persons from Canada. Mr. Meade believes that Marlin �•I1 Travel KAREN McGARVEY Manager/Owner e We specialize in Group and Cruise travel. Malvern Town Centre 31 Tapsatt Rd.

Families can stay together in a luxurious and comfortable home - without having to worry about cleaning and meal preparation; many of his clients are families and couples who return each year. The cost of a villa vaca- tion in Montserrat depends on how much the visitor wants to spend. Accom- modation prices range from a low of US $300 per week, to a high of US $2500 per week. The island is easily accessed by LIAT (The Caribbean's inter- island Airways) from An- tigua or by charter.

Vancouver by Bob Rice Ask a group of eastern Canadians which city in the country they would like to visit most and the majority will answer, Vancouver. Even now, in the middle of winter, Vancouver offers a broad list of things to do that attracts tourists from not just our country but around the world. As the major gateway to some of the finest ski ing m the world, Vancouver is now more than just a one- night stop on the way to Whistler and other resort areas in the Rockies. Located just north of the ci- ty is Grouse Mountain and you will find its slopes just as busy on any given winter day as those further in the interior. Easily reached by two cable car runs, Grouse features as much apres ski on top as it dos the sport itself. Here on a large wooden deck you can have lunch or supper and enjoy the view that takes in most of the city as well as the Strait of Georgia and Van- couver Island. In the same area is located the Capilano Suspension Bridge, a must see and do for those of you who like to swing and sway. Crossing the wooden bridge above a deep gorge will re- mind you of every movie you have seen where the hero is chased across a jungle bridge by the villains. If you don't like the idea of being a human yo-yo you can always spend your time in the large gift shop. Here you will find West Coast Indian crafts of excellent quality along with the usual souvenir items. Vancouverites work to play. While we Easterners find it difficult to leave our work behind when the clock strikes five. Wed. November 28, 1990 711 NEWS �POST Page 11 Christmas In Black Creek Village Black Creek Pioneer Village offers a unique op- portunity to journey back in time and experience an old-fashioned Christmas as it was observed by families in pre -Confederation On- tario. "Christmas in the Village", daily from Nov. 17 to Dec. 24, is an authen- tic representation of how people of different cultural backgrounds celebrated Christmas in the 1860s. Christmas in the Village also offers insights into the evolution of many Christmas traditions prac- tised today. In the 1860s, Christmas was first and foremost a family occasion celebrated in the home. There were no brightly lit streets, decorated department store windows or photo ses- sions with Santa. Christmas in Daniel Stong's First Home and Se- cond Home depict a typical Christmas as it was celebrated by the Penn- sylvania Germans in On- tario. A small tree was brought into the home, but only for a couple of days. It was decorated with dyed fleece, apples and cookies, and festooned with garlands of popcorn and cranberries. The gifts were simple: home-made knitted stock- ings, a doll made from corn busks and maybe an em- broidered show towel for mother. The Mackenzie Home is a home typical of British families of that era. By this time Christmas trees were becoming popular with British families. The trees were decorated with both home-made and store- bought items. Tiny candles were carefully clipped to the branches so they would not catch fire and they were only lit for a short period of time. The Burwick House reveals how Christmas was celebrated by a typical country gentleman of English descent. The decorations were lavish, with swags of evergreen and berries and a "kissing ball" hanging in the hall. Exotic fruits were placed on the dining room table. The gifts exchanged were costly and elegant. For in- stance, a china doll could be purchased in a city such as Toronto, rather than at the Village general store. The Daniel Flynn Home. typical of the Irish Catholic settler, shows how impor- tant a religious occasion Christmas was for the Irish. There was a small handmade nativity scene in the parlor and a lit candle was placed in the window in the hopes that the priest would come by and celebrate Mass. The lit candle also signifies the light the birth of Christ brought into the world. The Flynns could afford a few simple gifts such as wooden toys and games purchased at the general store. The children relished a Christmas treat - candied peel made from orange and lemon peels cooked in syrup. In the 1960s, Christmas meant big family get- togethers and lots of good food. Throughout the Village visitors will see all sorts of Christmas treats enjoyed by the settlers such as ginger cookies, candied orange peels, shortbread and plum pud- ding. They can hear the strains of a choir practising traditional Christmas carols from the Fisherville Church. A must for the little ones is a visit to Santa's Workshop to talk with San- ta and say "hello" to Rudolph. Santa's Workshop, located in the Visitors' Centre, is open on Dec. 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23 and 24. A special private collec- tion of nativity scenes call- ed "Creches of the World" will be shown throughout the month of December. As well, The McNair Gallery will feature a delightful ex- hibition of 19th and 20th century toys. Christmas in the Village has traditionally involved many ethnic groups living in the Toronto area. The Christmas Tree Mall in the Visitors' Centre showcases Christmas trees decorated by people of different cultural backgrounds, reflecting their own par- ticular traditions. Groups are welcome to visit Black Creek for a special group visit or a guided group tour. Call (416) 661-6600, ext. 263, for more information and reservations. Black Creek Pioneer Village is open daily, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m on weekends. It is located in northwest Metro Toronto, at Jane St. and Steeles Ave. For more information, call (416) 7361733. GST?* THIS WEEK YOU ASKED THE GST CONSUMER' INFORMATION OFFICE. t.. Q: I'm thinking of buying a nein car in 1991. Hou. will the proposed GST affect prices? A: The outgoing Federal Sales Tax (FS r) is now part of the price of new cars. So, while they will be fully taxed at 7% in 1991, the expected effect of replacing the FST with the GST on the average $22,000 mid-size car is a reduction of around $850. Q: My son has figured out it will cost $5LVin lumber to build a dock at our cottage if he bought it now. How much will that lumber cost with the proposed GST.' A: You can expect to pay about $512 for that same amount of lumber for personal use based solely on the changeover from the FST to the GST: Q: 1 know, the proposed GST won't apply to city bus fares but I take the commuter train to work - Will I have to pay GSTt A: No. Daily commuter trains are considered a municipal transit service, so fares are exempt from GSI: a Were here to answer your questions about how the GST will affect prices.

WEEK from Ottawa with Rene Soetens, M.P. The Canadian aviation industry has undergone major changes in the last five years. Economic regulatory reform has introduced new services to the air transportation in- dustry which have provided the travelling public with more options and competitive rates. During this period, we have witnessed more and more traffic, both in the skies and on the ground. Nowhere has this been more evident than at Lester B. Pearson Airport. Due to this increase in air traffic, Transport Minister Doug Lewis recently announced private -sector participa- tion in the modernization of Terminals 1 and 2 at Pearson International Airport which aim to meet the needs of Toron- to and Southern Ontario. While the private -sector will modernize and manage the two terminals, the federal government will retain overall control and responsibility for the airport and its services to the travelling public. In the words of the Minister, "the public has demanded better facilities, and this initiative is designed to address those demands". This announcement by the Minister of Transport has caused a great deal of speculation to take place regarding the future of the Pickering Airport Lands. Despite these conjectures, there are no immediate plans for these lands. As your Member of Parliament, I would have been privy to such plans and would have informed you immediately. The future of the Pickering Airport Lands is of great im- portance to both those who have both direct ties to the land, and to those with an interest regarding its possible develop- ment. evelopment. Therefore, as soon as there is any solid information available, 1 will ensure that all are informed. If anyone would like to discuss this topic, I invite you to attend my upcoming Vox Pop Forum. on Nov. 30th. The Forum will be held at the Whitby Public Library and will provide an excellent opportunity for discussion on this or any other federal issue- I look forward to seeing you there. ......::.' { .•.:::•:1 ::'1'::❖: �:•:.: .51':.•1: 1:.•:: i .•.•:.•:.`i `:.....
