Waiting For A Plan
Premier Bob Rae has finally shared his views on
Ontario's position on Confederation, and Ontananss are now
watching to see if he follows through on them. Interim Op-
position Leader Robert Nixon said recently.
"We as a province have got to tackle the Confederation
issue if we want to keep this country together," said Mr.
Nixon. "It will be interesting to see how long the Premier
feels he can wait before taking steps forward on this issue."
In a debate in the Legislature on the Interim Report on
the Select Committee m Ontario in Confederation on Mar.
27. the Premier said Ontario is willing to help build a new
Canada and negotiate a new sharing of powers between the
federal and pravincW governments.
Mr. Nixon said that, despite differences in opinion bet-
ween Ontario and Quebec. "We SbDWd be as considerate
and generous as we can to see that our Confederation will
continue, and that, whatever happens. we are seen and felt
by the people of Quebec to be their best friends."
Ontario and Quebec do about $30 billion in trade wi th each
other. more than 100,000 jobs in Ontario are dependent in
whole or in part on the trade between the two provinces;
they are home to nine out of the country's tap ten financial
uistitutions: and, airline statistics showthat about 1.4
million people travel by air between Montreal and Toronto
each month.
"These links and this friendship will continue," said Mr.
.Nixon. "I hope that Quebec will choose this relationship as
part of Canada and not as a separate entity."
The debate followed the release of the Interim Report,
which was based on the 12 member committee's observa-
tions during four weeks of bearings at 22 communities
across the province. The committee, including liberal
MPPs Charles Beer, Yvonne O'Neill and Steven Offer,
heard from a variety of Ontarians who expressed their
ideas on Confederation. The committee begins a second
stage of discussions and debates in the coming weeks.
March Record Month For Home Sales In

Wilson whitewash
By Terry O'Shaughnessv
Watching federal Finance
Minister Michael Wilson back -
peddle these days is truly a
remarkable sight. Take, for ex-
ample, his handling of the 1991
budget speech: shortly after it
was unveiled, there was (as
always) the usual number of
detractors on the one hand
and proponents on the other.
Wilson, still reeling from the
barrage of criticism heaped his
way during the long debate over
the Goods and Services Tax,
decided this time around to take
whatever steps necessary to
stifle detractors of this, his
seventh budget.
Wilson's plan of attack was
simple. Go to the taxpayers and
tell them that his budgetary
promise of fiscal restraint and
responsibility was the necessary
route to turn our very sad
economic fortunes around. To
put this in context it should be
pointed out that Wilson hasn't
missed an opportunity in recent
weeks to preach the message of
fiscal restraint and the treed to
attack Canada's astronomical
$30 -billion deficit. But for the
most part. Wilson has been
preaching to the converted as
beleaguered Canadians experi-
ence first-hand, every day, the
effects of an ailing economy
caused in no small part by years
of uncontrolled government
spending.
So it was, with the all -too-
familiar government cynicism
that the same group of belea-
guered Canadian taxpayers
learned of the launching of
a S1.5 -million advertising
campaign which would attempt
to sell Wilson's "Time to
Buckle Down" budget. An
eight -page flyer, sent to families
around the country, attempts to
address the "public need for
more information".
The problem, of course,
with swallowing this one is that
the budget itself was con-
structed around the ration of
smarter spending—a theme
championed by its author, the
finance minister.
John Bulloch, president of
the Canadian Federation of
Independent Business, calls
the $1.5 -million selling job a
"cruel joke" in the middle of a
recession.
"At best," says Bulloch, "it
shows extremely poor judge-
ment on the part of Mr. Wilson.
At worse, it is yet another ex-
ample of how this government
is continuing its policy of highly
irresponsible spending. Either
way, it is a complete waste of
money."
Bulloch adds that "irre-
sponsible spending" on the
part of this government is
nothing new. "Mr. Wilson has
squandered the opportunities
available to him during the
economic boom years in the
latter half of the 1980s. He did
not get government spending
under control (as promised)
and, as a result, is now forced
to cut back in the middle of a
recession.'.
In its pre -budget submission
to the federal government,
CFIB recommended that dur-
ing these times of burgeoning
federal debt and a deep reces-
sion, the onus was on govern -
merit to set an example of sound
financial planning.
"It is because of misguided
acts such as this," concludes
Bulloch, "that this government
is correctly seen to be the
architect of its own financial
misfortune. Unfortunately,
though, it is Canadians who are
paying the price."
On national television
recently. Wilson was shown
accepting a cheque from a
young boy who had sold his toys
and offered to put the proceeds
towards the country's deficit—
a very noble gesture from an
obviously civic -minded young
Canadian. It is a lesson, says
Bulloch, that W ikon could well
stand to learn from.

Ethnocultural & Anti -Racism Policies
Education Minister Marion Boyd has announced that she
will introduice an amendment to the Education Act in this
legislative session to make it mandatory that school boards
in Ontario develop and implement ethnocultural and anti -
racism policies. This is in keeping with the Minister of
Citizenship's anti -racism strategy announced earlier this
week. As well, the Ministry of Education will take a leader-
ship role with policies for its own staff.
"It is a major concern of this ministry that all students
receive equitable treatment in the schools of our province,"
said Mrs. Boyd. "I?te change in legislation will mean that
all boards will address these issues."
The Ministry has released an earlier survey, "Implemen-
ting Race and Ethnocu ltural Equity Policy in Ontario
School Boards,,' by researchers Karen Mock and Vandra
Masemann.
Boards have continued to develop and implement policies
and procedures on ethnocultural and race relations since
About Expense Accounts
To The Editor:
Pickering Hydro Chairman, Murray Stroud, claims
hydro commissioners are accountable to the public. Also
according to Mr. Stroud, this public accountability is fur-
ther demonstrated by having hydro commissioners' ex-
pense accounts approved at their public meetings.
Strangely enough, even though these expense accounts
are approved by this means, 1 was denied access to them. It
took several written requests, and finally an appearance
before the hydro commission to force hydro's general
manager to grant me access to these, supposedly public
documents.
In a year of tough economic times, deep recession, and
high unemployment, we expect our leaders to set an exam-
ple, and in this case to display fiscal restraint.
Pickering homeowner's have been subjected this year, to
hydro increases over 15% and double digit salary increases
by the hydro commissioners. In addition, the appointed
hydro commissioners are Pickering's first to attend con-
ferences outside of Canada. Last year both commissioners,
Brenner and Arthurs travelled to San Francisco.
However, this past year alone, Pickering residents have
shelled out, $3514 in travelling expenses incurred by one
hydro commissioner alone, Councillor Brenner.
It is my intent to share with Pickering taxpayers, just one
example of where our hydro dollars are going, and how one
hydro commissioner spent them.
The following submitted expenses reflect Brenner's trip
to the American Public Power Association Conference in
Denver, Colorado. June 11-13, 1990:
His expenses were as follows:
Honorarium: $400 ( Brenner, as per hydro policy, was
paid $400 for attending the conference, $50 x 8 days); Air
fare: $400: Conference registration: $655 ( refer back to
this) : Hotel accommodation (7 nights) : $970 ( based on dou-
ble occupancy to include spouse on trip) ; Meals (8 days) :
$804.
Yes, $100 a day for food. A family of four could possibly be
fed for one week on what was spent here each day by Count
chlor Brenner. What initially was a routine investigation
had now taken on a more serious tone as I asked myself the
obvious question. How did a three day conference stretch
into a ween of accumulated expenses by Brenner?
The hard-to-cottre•by expense account revealed he
travelled to Denver on Fri. June 8, three days before the
conference, and stayed until Fri. June 15. The conference
ended at noon on Wed June 13. Why the early weekend
flight out? Bremer claimed he attended pre -conference
seminars that weekend- However, according to his submit-
ted expense account, the $655. conference registration fee
only covered the actual conference. Mon. June 11 to Wed-
June
edJune 13. To attend the pre -conference that weekend, his ex-
penses would have reflected the additional $340 fee. It
didn't.
I requested Pickering Hydro's general manager to pro-
vide me with an explantation. The response was as follows:
It is true that Councillor Brenner did not register for the
pre -conference seminars and even though he c1mms he flew
out there early to attend it ( incurring expenses over 6500 for
the weekend) Brenner just 'sat in' on the seminars not pay-
ing the $340. ( Can.) to attend. This resulted in a call to
Washington. the conference promoters.
I queried their policy. Was this accepted procedure that
delegates attended their seminars without paying? The
response from them was emphatically, NO! "We would like
to think our attendees are honest people, everyone has their
own standards. I (the Washington representative) have
done this for eight years and I have never seen someone at-
tend our conferences without fraying. All paying delegates
are identified by their name tags and must have them on to
gain access to the seminars."
As far as determining what hindered Brenner from leav-
ing the conference on Wed. June 13 at noon, when the con-
vention
oo-vention was over and the other Pickering hydro commis-
sioner who was in attendance left, who knows. No report
was filed by Councillor Bremner regarding the week long
Denver convention.
This is not the fust example of outrageous spending. A
similar expense account was submitted by Councillor Bren-
ner from the San Francisco convention, the year before.
What do other hydro commissioners think of the conven-
tion expenses? Interestingly enough, following Bren ner's
submitted Denver convention expenses, hydro has adopted
a convention policy, limiting their daily allowances. I guess
the honour system that has been in place for all these years,
just didn't work.
Every time I pay my hydro bill, I can't help but think of

North York Expanding
Its Yard Waste Prog ra m
This year the City of
North York is expanding its
yard waste program in a
continuing effort to help the
environment.
North York homeowners
are being asked to compost
leaves and yard waste and
keep grass clippings on
their lawns to provide
nutrients for new growth.
What homeowners can-
not compost, the city will.
Each Wednesday, from
Apr. 10th until December,
the city will collect yard
w•zste for composting. The
compost will be used to
keep city parks well-fed
mad green.
To ensure the yard waste
program is successful,
leaves, grass clippings,
weeds and plant cuttings
sbould be placed into dear
piastre bags, open bushel
baskets or rigid open top
containers and set out for
Wednesday collection.
Brush (twigs, branches
and hedge trimmings
under three inches in
diameter) should be in
bundles not longer than
feta feet. The yard waste
most not include tree limbs
or stumps greater than
three inches in diameter,
food or kitchen waste,
animal droppings, fruits or
vegetables, or driveway or
read sweepings.
Bulky trash hetes, such
as old furniture, should be
set out on the next regular
garbage collection day,
Thursday or Friday.
Residents should contact
the Public Works Depart-
ment (224 -OM) for special
collection of appliances
and scrap metal.

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON STAGE:
Tomson Highway is a
Cree Indian who writes
with humourous passion or
passionate humour -take
your pick -about his people
and their way of life .. as it
now is.
We can't recall how it
came about but we missed
The Rez Sisters, the first in
his intended series of seven
plays on the subject. The
second is now on view at
the Royal Alex and we
were there for opening
night.
It's titled "Dry Lips
Oughta Move To Kapuskas-
ing" and damme if we
know what to make of it.
If Mr. Tomson intends it
to be a social commentary,
then he has failed. Au-
diences do not go to the
theatre for social commen-
tary. In any case. we're not
sure of the veracity of what
ever statement he might or
might not be making.
If what one sees on stage
in Dry lips is an accurate
picture of life among
modern day North
American Indians then all
sympathy for their so -
Called plight is now lost. We
do not accept collective
guilt for our past misdo-
ings. we have no sympathy
for hard drinking, foul
mouthed, loose moraled,
profane louts.
If it is not an accurate
picture, then Mr. Higirw-ay
has done his people a
disservice for which he
should be ostracized. To
portray them on stage as
he does in Dry Lips is to
evoke unpleasant
memories of Amos and An-
dy and their Mystic
Kni ghts of the Sea. And. the
latter was not written by
Blacks'
Let us then suppose that
no social continent is in-
tended: that the author in-
tends only an evening of
entertainment. Well, one
supposes there is entertain-
ment in seeing a simple-
minded deaf mute rape a
huge buttocked woman
with a cricifix. Possibly
one should be entertained
by seeing and hearing -
metaphorically or literally,
it doesn't matter -a woman
delivering her child while
apparently seated astride a
juke box. Perhaps one is
expected to denounce all
decency and be entertained
by references to the Deity
that are better left in the
locker room.
Entertainment, en fm, is
really only as one
perceives it and so it is not
for this reviewer to express
his less than an en-
thusiastic response to all of
the foregoing.
As a writer, however. we
allow ourself the privilege
of condemning the poor
structure of the play itself.
Passing over with some
charity, the improperly
fleshed out plot lines. the
failure to develop more
than little semblance of
characterization and the
sophomoric language, one
must address the play's
dinouemment. Mr. Tomson
had the perfect opportunity
to employ a deur ex
machina but instead,
plumped for Dallas .. the
T.V. show. not the city.
Maybe "Dry Lips"
Oughta Move To Dallas.
The opening rugbt au-
dience responded with a
standing ovation except for
those few who chose not to
be influenced by the cur-
rent "In" social situation.
And, to be fair, there are
some few moments of
humour in the play. Let it
be stated, though, that they
belong in Micky, not on a
legitimate stage.
Having written the
foregoing• honesty compels
is to relate the follo%ing

story. On the opening night
of Gershwin's Porgy and
Bess, Oscar Levant
remarked "It's a right step
in the wrong direction". He
was criticized for it at the
time but ask today's Blacks
what they think of Porgy
and Bess.
Perhaps Mr. Tomson
should do a little more
thinking.
ON SCREEN:
The greatest strength of
any enterprise can oft
times become its
weakness. This is not
necessarily to be con-
sidered analogous to the
proverbial chain and its
weakest link. Or is it?
These were our immediate
cerebration after viewing
"The Five Heartbeats"
(Twentieth Century Fox).
Loosely or even un-
consciously inspired, we
suspect "By Dream Girls"
which in turn was based
upon the career of The
Supremes, it's the story of
five young American
Blacks' rise from relative
poverty to become the na-
tions top Rhythm and Blues
group of the mid -sixties
and early seventies. The
story includes their even-
tual breakup and recon-
ciliation. There is an honest
to Dick Clark happy ending
that will bring happy tears
to even the most jaded
Put quite simply -five
Heartbeats is an enjoyable
movie. enjoyable but not
good or, at least. not as
good as it could
have'should have been.
That's because of the
strength weakness con-
sideration of its principal
component.
Robert Townsend wrote,
directed, produced and
stars in it. He is a good if
episodic writer; a good
director, though
sometimes carried away
by rehearsed spontaneity
and presumably a good
producer, though the movie
shows signs of financing
shortfall. He is not a,
however, a good editor.
The film is longer than it
needs to be. There are
some sub story lines that
are not explored properly if
at all. There are too many
characters who appear but
are not heard of again. The
list of faults goes on.
Realistically, it could be
the case that Mr. Townsend
simply shot too much
footage and the film has
suffered by being literally
cut down to reasonable size
in terms of audience af-
fability. If so, what a pity
that Townsend, the pro-
ducer couldn't have con-
vinced his backers to leave
Heartbeats as he
presumably, intended it to
be. Kevin Costner did it
with Dances With Wolves.
There's nothing the matter
with a long film if it con-
cludes satisfactorily.
Anyway, Townsend the
producer had to give way to
Townsend (or designate)
as editor and a motion pic-
ture with potential for
screen legend becomes just
another, pleasant pro-
grammer.
You'll enjoy it. You'll en-
joy the music, the
characters and the suppos-
ed inside look at what con-
tinues to be the sleaze
endemic to the recording
industry. But, when it's
over it won't linger in your
mind. You won't find
yourself wanting to see it
again .. even on video. It'd

IN PRINT:
The then columnist Alex
Barris used to feature an
item titled "Add Publicity
Releases We Never Finish-
ed Reading'
We read through all the
publicity releases we
receive though admittedly,
they are probably not as
numerous as those sent to
Mr. Barris. We also read
every word of every book
given full review here. If a
book is scanned (only occa-
sionally) we so state.
All very honourable, of
cause, but it means that
some books are not given
the immediacy of exposure
deserved.
The foregoing has been
prompted by two items that
appeared recently in a dai-
ly journal on the same day.
One was advice that
novelist John Updike had
won his second Pulitzer
Prize for the book "Rabbit
At Rest" (Alfred A.
Knopf). We have it on our
review shelf and hope to
get to it soonest but in the
light of a Pulitzer Prize our
comments would be redun-
dant anyway. Enjoy.
The other was a column
by William F. Buckley, Jr.
In referring to Kitty Kelley
the supposed writer whose
book about Nancy Reagan
has caused a minor uproar,
he allowed as how she was
a "a little like Suetonius,
who wrote about the sex
lives of the Caesars and
who died about 1,9oo years
ago."
Those quoted words
demonstrate the avun-
cularism, the offensive
avuncularism that
long after the curtain
comes down.
Performance times are
as follows: Apr. 23, 24. and
25, 1 p.m.. Apr. 26, 10 a.m.
and d p.m. and Apr. 27, S
p.m.
Tickets are $7 for adults

permeates all of Mr.
Buckley's writings. Anyone
who reads anything by him
doesn't have to be remind-
ed about Suetonius. We
know, and we don't need
his pseudo scholarly
reminders.
At hand, we have his
latest novel. It's titled
..Tucker's Inst Stand" and
is published by Random
House. Another in the
series about super agent
Blackford Oakes, who is
actually Buckley's dream
personage, it promises to
be another light adventure
caper.
It also promises to be fill-
ed with the over fluid and
fluent prose that has
become Mr. Buckley's
trademark. He is a good
writer but we just wish he
wouldn't be at such pains to
let us know.
We'll let you know in turn
when we've read Tucker's
Last Stand.
The latest book to secure
the attention of book
banners -those who would
ban books -is American
Psycho by Bret Easton
Ellis (Vintage). We've just
received it within the past
few days and can't really
say much about it other
than that one can learn a
bit about the so called good
life of fine dining and
fashion.

In reference to a double
breasted jacket it's stated

are considered more
elegant than notched ones.
The winning book will be
chosen by a jury composed
entirely of children. This
year, six students from
grades six through eight at
St. Francis Xavier School
in North York will select
the award winner.
The jury's decision will
be announced by the On-
tario Arts Council on Apr.
26th. A prime of $2,000 will
be presented to the winning
author at the Canadian
Booksellers Association
banquet on July 7th in
Toronto.
Established in 1976 in
honour of the late Ruth
Schwartz, a respected
Toronto bookseller, the
award is presented annual-
ly to the author of an
outstanding work of Cana-
dian children's literature.
The administration of
this award is shared by the
Canadian Booksellers
Association, whose panel
members choose a short
list of books, and the On-
tario Arts Council which
selects a jury and manages
the endowment.

Ontario Supporting Energy
Efficiency & Conservation
Ontarians responded
positively to energy effi-
ciency programs in 1990
and saved enough electrici-
ty last year to serve a town
the size of Oshawa, accor-
ding to Ontario Hydro's
1990 annual report.
"This is a positive start,"
said Robert Franklin,
Hydro's President and
Chief Executive Officer in
releasing the report. "It's a
good indication of the elec-
tricity savings that can be
made by working
together "
"The benefits of energy
efficiency and conserva-
tion are substantial," he
added. "Using less elec-
tricity helps reduce
customers' energy costs
and helps protect the en-
vironment."
Hydro invested over $100
million in energy efficiency
programs in 1990 and will
spend fid billion by the year
2000 to achieve its overall
energy reduction goals.
The report shows that
business and industry as
well as residential con-
sumers are responding to
Hydro's energy efficiency
initiatives. Consumers
bought over 700,000 energy
efficient products during
special promotions or
Hydro rebate programs.
Almost 1500 businesses
changed to energy efficient
lighting systems and in-
dustry installed over
100,000 horsepower of high
efficiency motors.
The review of financial
operations indicated a year
of substantial cost in-
creases and reduced power
demand. Milder weather
and the recession combin-
ed to produce a net reduc-
tion in provincial electrici-
ty demand for only the
third time in Ontario's
history. Demand fell by 2.9
percent to 136.7 million
megawatt -hours from the
1989 total.
Nuclear power supplied
43 percent of provincial
power requirements, coal
and oil supplied 20 percent,
hydraulic 27 percent and
imports and other pur-
chases provided the re-
maining 10 percent.
Total revenues in 1990
were $6.5 billion, an in-
crease of $138 million from
1989.
New Drug Effective
For Bladder Cancer
A new cancer drug. BCG
Therapeutic (Bacillus
Calmette -
Guerin lConnaught),
marketed in Canada under
the trade name ImmuCyst,
is significantly superior to
chemotherapy for
Carcinoma -In -Situ ( CIS) in
the bladder.
In a controlled study by
the National Cancer In-
stitute in the United States,
74 percent of patients
receiving BCG Tha peutic
had a complete response,
compared to 42 percent of
the patients receiving dox-
orubicin hydrochloride
(Adriamycin).
The study supported Con-
naught Laboratories
Limited's apphcatiom for
approval of BCG
Therapeutic by the Health
Protection Branch (HPB)
of Health and Welfare
Canada. BCG Therapeutic
received approval in the
summer of 1990 as an anti-
cancer agent for treating
CIS, a superficial bladder
cancer which can occur
with or without associated
papillary tumours -
Bladder Cancer
BCG Therapeutic works
by being administered into
the bladder where it pro-
duces a local inflammatory
response, associated with
the reduction and elimina-
tion of cancerous tumours.
"BCG represents a ma-
jor breakthrough in the
treatment of bladder
cancer," says Dr. Michael
Jewett, Chief of the Divi-
sion of Urology, Toronto
General Hospital and Pro-
fessor of Urology at
University of Toronto. "We
have good data comparing
BCG with other cancer
agents and BCG is clearly
superior. Canadian
urologists now consider
BCG to be the trearnent of
choice for superficial blad-
der cancers."
Imrmucyst, manufac-
tured in Toronto by Con-
naught Laboratories Ltd.,
is a free -dried prepara-
tion of an attenuated strain
of Mycobacterium bovis.
This strain was developed
in France by Drs. Calmette
and Guerin between 1908
and 1920 and was first used
to immunize against tuber-
culosis in 1921. Then in
1976. Canadian urologist
Dr. Alvero Morales of
Queen's University,
Kingston, Ont.
demonstrated BCG's anti -
tumour effect in the treat-
ment of superficial bladder
cancer.
"True production of Im-
mucyst marks
Connaught's first entry into
oncology and the beginning
of our ongoing commit-
ment to this important field
of medicine," says Dr.
Garry R. Humphreys,
Assistant Vice President,
Clinical and Medical Af-
fairs, Connaught
Laboratories Limited.
Bladder cancer
represents seven percent of
all male and three percent
of all female cancer. Five
thousand Canadians will be
diagnosed with bladder
cancer this year. Cigarette
smoking, age and occupa-
tion are the main risk fac-
tors for this disease.

opportunity to reduce the
amount of waste they are
sending to landfill.

ments are asking residents

waste for separate collec-
tion and composting.

November, municipal
trucks will collect leaves,
weeds, plant cuttings,
twigs and branches and
take them to Metropolitan
composting sites.
Metro Toronto residents
should put their yard waste
into either rigid open top
containers like bushel
baskets, or clear plastic
bags. Coloured garbage
bags should not be used as
collection workers must be
able to see the yard waste.

or hedge trimmings under
3 inches in diameter -

no longer than 4 feet, and
placed beside the bags or
containers on the curbside.

clude tree limbs or stumps
greater than 3 inches in
diameter; food or kitchen
waste; animal droppings;
fruit or vegetables;
driveway or road sweep-
ings. Also, yard waste

ed to place yard waste at
curbside by 7 a.m. on their
designated day.

borough it is Wednesday
and in Toronto it is the

day garbage day -
Secretaries - A Changing Profession
It's the fastest growing
segment of the American
workforce; yet less than a
decade ago. many
predicted that office
technology would render
these 4 million profes-
sionals obsolete.
Hardly.
In fact. the same
technology thrust many ad-
ministrative assistants,
data processors. office
managers, executive
secretaries. and profes-
sionals of countless other
titles into leadership roles.
More than ever,
secretaries. are highly -
valued members in all sec-
tors of the workforce.
Add the ensuing
challenges of a global
economy. and the con-
tinued expansion of the
secretarial profession
becomes apparent.
"Changing Profession
for a Changing World" is
this year's theme for Pro-
fessional Secretaries
Week, and Professional
Secretaries Day. Apr.
21-27, and Wed. Apr. 24th
respectively.
Both observances were
founded by Professional
Secretaries International.
in 1952 to promote con-
fidence in, and provide
recognition for, the
secretarial profession.
Professional Secretaries
International, which is bas-
ed in Kansas City,
Missouri. provides a varie-
ty of educational and cer-
tification programs for of-
fice professionals.

Ste. Anne's Inn, an old
"castle" on 500 rolling
acres in the Nor-
thumberland hills, has pro-
vided a welcome retreat
for thousands of guests
over the past few years.
With its sweeping views of
Lake Ontario, Ste. Anne's

well-being that is hard to
define.
Ever mindful of modern
day stress, innkeeper Jim
Corcoran has come up with
a program offering an art
retreat, an "inward
bound" adventure as it
were, where busy people
can work with professional
artists in a series of four-
day art workshops.

Program began Mar. loth.
Until June 21st eight Cana-
dian artists will establish
residencies to provide
guests with an intimate in-
sight into studio practices
and materials. Guests will
leave Ste. Anne's with an
original work of their own
making, having enjoyed
every opportunity to in-
tegrate the Inn's nature
trails, streams, wildlife
and history with their own
creativity.
Scarborough artist Jim

the Anne Tanenbaum

with Rene Soetens, M.P.
Legislation has been described as the main business of
Parliament and indeed the legislative process claims a
predominant share of Parliament's sitting time. In the
Canadian Parliament, as in all legislatures based on the
British model, precise formulas for the enactment of laws
have been developed. The Standing Orders are the lifeblood
of this process.
Standing orders govern the conduct of the House and
establish a framework through which the government pur-
sues its legislative agenda and the opposition calls the
government to account. The Standing Orders are designed
to allow Parliament to consider its business in an orderly
fashion - petrtruding Members of Parliament to debate, and
then decide by majority vote.
Recently, the government tabled a motion to amend the
Standing Orders. The proposals are designed to itnpeou�e
Parliament as a place for quality and relevant debate by
modernizing outdated and unclear tyles of proceedings. in
addition, reforms would give individual Member of Parlia-
ment greater input into the parliamentary process, while
recognizing their obligations to consbtuents.
Changes will be trade to daily schedules and sitting days.
While it is true that the number of sitting days will decline,
Members of Parliament will work more hours each day the
Howe is sitting. As a result, it is expected that Members
will sit slightly more hours on an annual basis Presently
Canada's Parliament sits an average of I% days a year, far
more than any provincial government. To illustrate this,
Manitoba has the longest schedule with 98 days, Ontario the
third (84). and New Brunswick the shortest (42). Under the
new system, the average number of sitting days would be
reduced to 134 days.
Parliamentary sitting days would begin earlier, with ad-
ditional hours added for Government Orden, Private
Members' Business and Petitions. While the length of Ques-
tion Period will remain unchanged, it is interesting to mate
that the government offered to extend Question Period to a
full hour per day. The Opposition declined.
This calendar change will provde M.P.s with more flex-
ibility in scheduling time in their ridings. Government
Policies and legislation are more complex and Canadians
are concerned and interested in an ever-growing array of
issues. These changes will ensure that Parliament and coo-
stituents receive the attention and service they deserve.
The Committees System will be overhauled to allow in-
dividual M.P.s to increase their expertise and to encourage
more government consultation with M.P.s on policy
development. Members will be allowed to pursue not only
specific interests. but to also develop expertise across a
broader array of issues within a particular envelope of
Committees. In addition, with the support of a majority of
members. Committees may permit television cameras ac -
to hearings.
Private Members Business is an opportunity for any
Member of Parliament to advance a specific interest by
focusing the house's attention directly on a matter through
a private bill or motion. Reforms call for an increased
number of these bills. In addition, a decreased amount of
time would be necessary before voting on these bills, allow-
ing a greater number to corse forth.
These reforms are the end result of months of non -
Partisan and productive consultations with all Members of
Parliament. Any claims by the Opposition that they are sur-
prised by anything in this package of reforms are purely a
partisan response to an excellent reform package that will
make Parliament more effective, efficient and moving
closer to the people. That's what Canadians want.
