there are technical con-

and export. the policies on
how this affects waste
reduction is more im-
porant. The goal is to
reduce waste by 50% by
2000 and 25% by 1992. With
respect to incineration.
energy from waste is a big
business and may be too
strong a lobby group.
He noted that ash from
an incinerator must still be
sent to a taradfill site. All ef-
fort must be put into
re+cychng. reduction and
reuse and composting
systems and incineratin
will destroy some of the
material that is needed for

must compete with other
recycling firms will
become more efficient than
if they have to compete
with an incinerator added
W. Blackwell.
By prohibiting incinera-
tion. manufacturers are

Ontario stands to be a

would open up a province

Equality In Constitution?
by Bob Watson
Now that Prime Minister Mulroney has announced that
all of us Canadian voters will have to decide on the Constitu-
tion deal in a referendum vote on Oct. 26th• it is interesting
to hear the NDP leader Audrey McLaughlin talking about
pressing for equal numbers of women in the Senate as well
as equality for minorities and native people.
Surely it is going to be difficult enough to convey all of the
details of this complex constitutional change without get-
ting into the complex minorities protection deal.
We don't believe that members of the Senate or the House
of Commons should be judged on whether they are male or
female or ethnic or plain, white males. It is high time that
this country concentrates on Canadian citizens as "all
equal"
This concept of equality for women, pay equity and re-
quirements that all groups - except white, Anglo Saxon
males - be protected and equalized by laws is absurd and
very much unfair to white males - we don't believe that
native peoples should get extra special treatment and
millions of our tax dollars either.
In our opinion women can be equal any time they want to
and the same applies to native peoples and ethnic groups.
Let's get a new charter - every Canadian citizen is equal
and there is no discrimination such as at Queen's Park
where white males are not allow -ed to apply for a provincial
job"
On the Constitution changes we trust that all of us will get
to know before the vote exactly what changes have been
made by our leaders so we can vote intelligently.
Let's Start Caring
As an observer of the recent behaviour of seven Scar-
borough Trustees who have failed to see what 17.(m of the
electorate have written in their petitions. I was reminded of
the following story.
One Sunday morning in a church in Scotland a louse was
seen crawling up the neck of a ver- official person.
Evenone in the church saw it except the person upon
w•ttose neck the event was taking place. This person, con-
sumed b% a sense of importance and position was oblivious
to the observations of tba9e around.
This event took place over two hundred years ago in 1736
and Robbie Burrs. an astute observer of the human condi-
lion immortalized the story in these words: "O wad some
power the giftie gie us. to see oraseis as others see its, it wad
free more a blunder free us, an foolish notions. "
As one who has worked for many years with several of
these trustees %iio voted "NO" 1 know that some of them
are ver responsible and caring people who have invested
much of their lives to the improvement of the Scarborough
school s}stem. I do hope that they will turn around and
observe what is obvious to the rest of us.
I congratulate the sevenwho noticed what was happening
and hope that in the interest of education in Scarborough at
least three of the other seven will not resign, but will recon-
sider and reopen this matter and make it a Win -Nin situa-
tion for all.
The adverse publicity of the last few days has tarnished
the reputation of a good School System. When the people m
the system. trustees. teachers, students and taxpayers do
not feel good about the system then the quality of education
will suffer
A "N'e Care" attitude is the foundation of Quality Educa-
tion. Dr. Bill Glasser states in his book "Tbe Quality
School" that "nothing we can do will improve the quality of
life in any communit% more than quality schools."
Let the w• press knoScarborough for Quality Education.
Let us think of the students and stop Blaming.
Let us start Caring''
Enough of this parochialism "
We must rise above these events for Scarborough
students to become competitive in today's world.

Can Property Taxes
Be Made Fair.
From Property Tax Newsletter
Property tax is perhaps the most controversial tax in On-
tario. It is also the most likely to provoke anger and tax-
payer revolt. Is the system fair?
It is difficult to analyseone tax in isolation and pronounce
on its fairness. Tax fairness must consider the whole
system of taxation: what share of the burden a particular
tax is made to bear. and what services direct and indirect.
taxpayers receive in exchange. Tax breaks also have to be
taken into account. For example. federal income taxes are
offset by personal exemptions and sales tax exemptions for
some taxpayers. At the provincial level, there arealso sales
and property tax exemptions.
Certainly, the property tax is one of the most visible.
Because ii is levied by local governments, which are more
accessible and more responsive to citizen input and protest,
it also receives a great deal more attention. Indeed, the
visibility of the property tax makes it a sort of lightning rod.
which places pressureon local politicians to be accoun-
table.
But are property- taxes fair? In large measure• that ques-
tion depends on how property tax is defined. At its most
basic, the property tax is simply a levy or membership
charge for participation in a specific community. The com-
munity as a whole. through its representatives• sets the tax
in response to local needs.
National gorvernments historically raised taxes to tun
parliaments. fight wars• and pay crown expenses through
customs and excise taxes on goods for import and export.
Communities imposed a levy on local residents according
to the property they owned. Property served as a rough and
ready indication of one's stake in the community, and pro-
perly. ownership was for a long time the qualification for
voting in local elections.
Over time. other taxes have been developed - comprehen-
sive sales taxes progressive income taxes, and capital
gains taxes.
For many. ability to pay is the basis of tax fairness. By
this standard. the property tax is unfair. To be sure. proper-
ty tax credits represent an attempt to address this issue for
low-incorne ratepayers. But there is no clear relation bet-
ween proper tax and ability to pay.
In smaller communities, there may be a rough correla-
tion between income and house values - and hence property
tax. But in major metropolitan areas, where property
values have appreciated over the past two decades. proper-
ty vanes may have no relation to income for long-tirne
owners. However. to fund local government and education
entirely through income taxes i since income determines
ability to pay) would mean a massive increase in income
tax.
Another view on property tax is as a tax on wealth- For
rrwst people. their horn is their most valuable asset. The
renovations they make and the neighbourhood inn
provements they work for add to the value of their home
and of their neighbourbood. But a house is an asset unlike
most other investments. %lune shares may pay dividends.
which may be used to pay tax on capital gains. a house does
not produce a dividend until it is sold. Property taxes have
to be paid out of some other source. apart from the property
itself
:another view holds that property tax really is a consump-
tion
o sump -tion tax on housing services. Regardless of whether one
owns a property or merely rents, it is passible to assign a
rental value and levy the tax on rent. Property taxes are
passed along to tenants in rental properties. Housing, if it is
a good to be consumed, is quite different from other goods.
The tax system recognizes this difference: there are capital
gains exemptions for principle residences: there is no GST
on principal residences. and the land transfer tax ( really a
sales tax on land j is levied at a lower rate than the provin-
cial sales tax.
Sales taxes are considered fair as a tax on consumption
because people have some control over their consumption.
They can, for example, choose to eat at home instead of
eating out, and thus avoid sales taxes. But from another
view. sales taxes are profoundly unfair. Many goods and
services - books, newspapers, clothing, appliances - are
commonly consumed by all people, rich or poor. But the
poor must spend all their income on basic necessities unlike
the rich. And because the rich are few, the poor end up pay-
ing most of the sales taxes which they have the least ability
to pay

As part of my continued commitment to the environment,
I have made special arrangements with the Metropolitan
Works Department to have a truckload of various types of
composters delivered to the parking lot at Momsh Road
and Old Kingston Road on Sat. Sept. 20th. If you've been

Federal Government To
Share Assets From Drugs
Federal Solicitor General Doug Lewis announced rrc-ent-
ly that the federal government is planning to share assets
forfeited as a result of federal prosecutions of drug traf-
fickers.
He said that consultations have begun with provincial
governments and municipal representatives on a detailed
proposal for fair sharing of crime assets when local or pro-
vmcial police have participated in investigations.
Mr. Lewis also said that the federal government will set
up a federal assets management office and assets sharing
regime to completnerrt the current proceeds of crime
scheme.
Mr. Lewis also said that the federal government will set

tona, where he released the RCMP's National Drug In-
telligence Estimate 1991.
"With seizures in money and real assets couuntu* in the

other sectors of the provincial economy," said Minister
Haslam. "It provides is with access to our friends and
neighbours, to health, medical and emergency services.
Telecommunications has a direct impact on the quality of
day-to-day living in Ontario and is crucial to business ac-

"This report, prepared and delivered within four months,
will receive my prompt and detailed attention," said
Minister Haslam. "I have already indicated to the Premier
and my cabinet colleagues that I will carry this report for-

move forward with considerable urgency to ensure a
strategic position for Ontario in the information age.

Steve Gilchrist To Run For Ontario PC President
Steve Gilchrist, a Scar-
borough businessman, has
announced his intention to
run for the position of
President of the Pro-
gressive Conservative Par-
ty of Ontario at its upcom-
ing General Meeting in

time in seeing that the par-
ty organization was
motivated and fully

lower taxes, fewer regula-
tions and a commitment to
rebuilding the social and
economic infrastructure

spend governments have
allowed to deteriorate
dramatically," Gilchrist
said.

be my task to ensure that
the party organization was
positioned and motivated

Review financial plans in a tough economy
Are you, like many other
Canadians, facing unforeseen
financial problems in these
tough economic times' If so,
you've likely decided to review
your king -term financial plans
and possibly nuke changes to
ease the financial stress.
Consider the impact of fluc-
tuating economic conditions
(such as unemployment) as well
as changing personal goals and
situations (such as added de-
pendents, university or commu-
nity college plans).
"To ensure your financial
security, a regular review of
long-term plans will allow you
to make new decisions based on
your charging financial needs,"
says Jim Dak, a fife insurance
expert at The Co-operators.
Planning your RRSPs
For example, do you need to
review your long-term financial
plans if you've been contribut-
ing to an RRSP with the goal of
retiring early, but now you are
unemployed'
As a quick solution, you may
be considering cashing in your
RRSPs. Before you do, think
about the tax implications. This
is where a professional financial
planner can help you.
Remember that the money
you contributed to your RRSP
was deductible from your tax-
able income, which means the
tax is deferred until your RRSP
matures. This is usually when
you retire and therefore, you arc
in a lower income bracket. If
you cash in your RRSP now, the
amount you contributed - plus
the interest earned - mull be
declared as income and will be
fully taxable. Also, if your
RRSP is locked in at a
guaranteed rate, some institu-
tions may penalize you if you
watt to take out your money.
Cashing in RRSPs also
means you'll miss out on the
magic of compound interest -
with an 8q interest rate, your
money doubles every 9 years!
Tie importance of we
insurrance
What about your life in-
surance? Are you considering
cancelling your permanent life
insurance policies to free -up
some much needed cash:'
Before you decide, review your
plan and look for other, less
drastic measures that will allow
you to keep your life insurance
protection intact.
"If you have permanent life
insurance and it has an accumu-
lated value - which only hap-
pens if it's been in force a num-
ber of years - you may be able
to borrow from your policy up
to a certain amount," says Dale.
Interest rates arc reasonable,
but keep in mind that any out-
standing policy loan is deducted
if the policy txcomes payable.
Another option available. ac-
cording to Dak, allows you to
use the accumulated dividends
from a permanent life insurance
plan to pay your premiums for
a certain period, if you are
otherwise unable to do so.
Always consider how any
short-term solution• which may
seem reasonable now. will af-
fect your financial assets in the
future.
Put your wisbes is a will
Another area of financial
security planning often over-
looked is the preparation of a
will. This document ensures
that all the things you've
worked hard for will go to the
benefactors of your choice, in-
cluding family memhem
friends and organizations such
as charities.
If you happen to die intestate
(without a will) and leave no
spouse or other blood relative.
provincial courts may appoint
an administrator to disperse
your estate as the law sees fit.
Once you have had a lawyer
prepare your will, keep it in a
safe place (preferably a safety
deposit box) with a record of all
your personal documents - and
their locations - such as life
insurance policies, property
deeds, securities, bank account
numbers and personal debts.
To make this task easier.
The Co-operators has designed
a booklet, called Do Kw ll"uus
Where Everwhinq /+.' In the
event of your death. this booklet
serves as a handy reference that
organizes information about
your pos,%c-ssions, insurance
policies. will and other persottrl
information. It even include% a
section on funeral arrangements
and a place to list %our pro-
fessional advisors (e.g. lau%ler.
accountant, life insurance .ales
representative).

dramatic improvement in quality of life.
Wed. September 9, 1992 THE NEWS/POST Page 9
with Rene Soetens, M.P.
Global trade is changing rapidly. There is an undeniable
progression towards multi -nation trading blocks. and with
the recent NAFTA Agreement. Canada has ensured a posi-
tion as a partner in the largest free trade zone to date.
You will hear much about this Agreement in the months
ahead. No doubt, you'll hear from detractors who would
rather turn a blind eye to economic realities and play on un-
substantiated fears than see the deal as the necessary step
that it is. For the time being however. I would like to focus
on one aspect of the Agreement - the enhanced trade
dispute mechanism.
The new dispute mechanism improves upon the one in the
current Canada -U.S. Free Trade Agreement. The creation
of a Trade Commission. made up of cabinet -level officers of
the three countries will settle disputes between the coun-
tries over interpretation or application of the rules of the
Agreement. The Commission will meet at least once a year
and at the request of any of the three countries. The selec-
tion procedure for panel members will help ensure a fair
hearing in trade disputes. For the first time. Canada may
obtain a binding ruling on whether retaliatory measures
taken against it are excessive. Unlike the FTA. disputes
regarding financial services are now covered. along with
all other sectors. When disputes involve environmental
issues. provision to engage the required experts ensures the
necessary scientific expertise.
Emphasis on arrucable settlement by the parties and the
Commission w111 be strengthened to emphasize the finality
of panel decisions. There will also be the right of the third
country to participate is consultations and panels to protect
its interests.
In the event of a dispute, here are some of the features of
the neer mechanism:
Two panellists from the complaining party are selected
by the defending party. two pariellats from the defending
party are selected by the complaining party. The Chairper-
son, who may be from the third NAFTA country or a
neutral eouartry. is selected by mutual agreement.
Special provisioris are enacted to permit expeditious
review of any retaliation alleged to be excessive.
Provisions are made for panels to consult scientific or
other experts for advice on environmental, technical stan-
dards and related matters.
While disputes affect only a tiny share of our total trade,
they are inevitable. Burg dispute settlement provides an ef-
fective and timely method of resolving disputes when they
do arise.
Reviewing procedures under the NAFTA provisions en-
sure procedural due process and the arbitration of private
commercial disputes. This will contribute to a fairer
trading atmosphere for all three countries. It will also en-
sure a more stable. predictable environment for Canadian
exporters. In addition. speedier resolution of disputes
results in real cost savings to Canadian companies affected
by disputes.

Travel, the full-
service travel division of
the Canadian Automobile
Association, has announc-
ed that it will be hosting
very unique "seminars" on
Sept. 22nd, Oct. 14th, and
Oct. 28th.
Aptly titled, the "Flacida
Freedom Forums". these
informal conferences were
designed for CAA Members
planning long or short stay
vacations to Florida, who
want to make the most of
their vacation. Specifical-
ly, they will provide
members with objective,
professional advice regar-
ding a variety of relevant
topics including: How to
make one's home safe and
secure while away; Per-
sonal financial and tax
planning for those staying
for an extended period of
tire; New attractions in
Florida; Driving tips and
the best routes to Florida:
Out -of-province medical
insurance rides and regula-
tions and much more.
CAA Travel has invited
authorities in each of these
areas to be on -hand to
share their expertise
alongside CAA Travel Con-
sultants who will provide
advice for those flying
down as well as driving.
Those who attend these
seminars will not leave
empty handed. All will be
given a gift package that
will contain a variety of
useful item and surprises,
among them, a CAA
-'Florida Freedom Coupon
Book" containing valuable
discounts. for both Florida
and home.
Also, attendees will have
the opportunity to win a
number of prizes including
a trip for four to Florida,
courtesy of CAA and the
Busch Gardens Entertain-
ment Corporation and a
Chubb Homesecure
System.
If any travel agency is
qualified to hold such a
forum, it is the CAA,
because CAA Travel sends
more Canadians to Florida,
annually than any other
agency. In 1991, the com-
pany prepared 100,000 Trip-
tiks (unique customized
routings for drivers), and
literature packages for
Florida.
Last year, CAA also im-
plemented their own
mPdical and travel in-
surance entitled "CAARE"
which, to date, remains the
most comprehensive travel
insurance available in
Canada - at very com-
petitive rates.
For those who wish to at-
tend the Florida Freedom
Forum, the Sept. 22nd
seminar will be at the
Bristol Place Hotel, Sutton
Hall from 7 to 9 p.m., the
Oct. 14th seminar will be at
the Toronto Prince Hotel,
Crown Room, 7 to 9 p.m,
and on Oct. 20th at the

Affordable, decent hous-

M.P.P. for Scarborough -
Centre told a community
forum held recently to
discuss the Ontario govern-
ment's draft kgislatmn for
creating apartments in
houses.
'Jur. Owens opened the
meeting with the observa-
tion that illegal apartments
in houses are currently
satisfying the shelter needs
of significant numbers of
people for whom there are.
at present, no viable alter-
natives. -People must be
housed." stressed Owers.
"
The question then arises -
should we utilize apart-
ments that are already in
existence or create new
apartments at the expense
of an already overburden-
ed ver"
The forum consisted of a
presentation from a panel
of experts and a disctsion
with members of the com-
munity. The represen-
tatives on the panel includ-
ed Lorraine Katman. Staff

lit. P. P.
The Government of On-
tario has introduced draft
legislation to make it
easier for home owners to
create an apartment in
their homes. This would
help create jobs in the
building and renovation in-
dustry : would help people
afford homes by providing
rental income: and would
give tenants additional and
safer housing. Approx-
imately 100.Wo of these
homes already exist. Most
of than are in areas where
municipal noni regula-
tkxzs prohibit them. By in-
troducing this ktislathon
the government wants to
ensure existing apartments
meet health and safety
standards. It also wants to
establish rides for creating
new apartments so that
their development occurs
in an orderly way.
Senior citizens are
among those who will
benefit most from allowing
apartments in houses.
Seniors often need to sup-
plement fixed incomes and
like the security of knowing
someone else is close by if
they need assistance.
"Alk>wing apartments in
houses will mean seniors
can move in family
members while maintain-
ing independent living
spaces... Owens said later.
He added that another ad-
vantage of apartments in
houses could be to help
first-time home buyers and
cash-strapped home
owners pay the bills.
The Government of On-
tario has released this
draft legislation to get peo-
ple's ideas on how best to
bring about these changes.
