Mainstream Canada Pauline Browes Applauds Federal Budget Economic comeback: agenda for recovery ay Mkhmr Wycka Small business has been the focus of a great deal of attention lately; this dynamic sector is be- ing counted on for a breakout of this stubborn recession. Neither big business, big labor, nor gov- ernment have the means to drive the economy forward --only the guts and grit of Canada's inde- pendent entrepreneurs can racy the economy. Entrepreneurs can't do it alone. however. All the guts and grit in the world won't overcome the beries to entrteprenetuial ini- tiative which currently exist in Canada. In its federal pre -budget submission, the Canadian Fed- eration of Independent Business highlighted the barriers small businesses we finding impossi- ble to hurdle. In summary. here's what needs to be done: • Alkviate the tax burden: Small frim consistently cite taxes (at every level of Bovrrn- ment) as their most serious cm - cern and block to expansion and jobcIeabon - re iefisneeded/n- ttttnedrately; • Reduce the regutarory bur- den: Small business owners of- ten wonder d they went mho ba n- ness to sit at a desk and fill out government forms. The Paper - burden aid regulatory envin m- mwnt has reached mamnodt pro - and effr- ciency must be the objective now; • Fix the GST compliance problems: With every GST dol- Iar an entreprertew takes in for the government, 20, P r is spent co q*ing with this complex tax --in its current form the GST is an expensive small business nightmare: • Prepare people to be more productive: Everyone, including goventment artd business, needs to be involved and costs must be equally shared --for their pat, small firms conduct informal training on adady basis. Govern- ments must. ep6w tize spending in their educati xVinuning port- folios; Facilitate small business fi- nancing: From curtailmg profit - insensitive psyroU and property taxes to increasing the availabil- ity of equity and debt capital. the financing barrier for small firths is towering and must be brought down. Tinea ba. let can and must be overcome if small business is to ked Canada toward an economic coawbadt. However. one other area mast be addressed if we are to enjoy a sustained recovery. In the next Mainstream Canada the foiau shafts to step two: geir5ng the federal government's house in order. CF18 Hast" Senate Help The USA Student Dear Editor, My name is Carissa Murphy.

Pauline Browes, MP for Scarborough Centre and Minister of State for Employment and Immigration has applauded the federal budget brought down Apr. 26th by the Hon. Don Mazankowski which emphasizes, "less borrow- ing, lower taxes, more jobs and more choice for Canadians." "It is important that fiscal restraint be exercised to en- sure a sound economic future for our children and grand- children." said Minister Browes. "We must put measures in place to free the economy so we can create more jobs while reducing the national deficit and debt." This year the federal government will transfer nearly $10.4 billion to Ontario. or about $1,000 per person. Transfers to the provinces will continue to grow at 4% - greater than all other federal government program spen- ding which stands at the current rate of inflation of 1.5°.x. The budget is good news for Canadians, ensuring three important priorities: t. No new taxes. 2. No tax increases and 3. Lowest federal spending in 30 years. The new federal budget will ensure a sounder economy by taking aggressive action to tackle the deficit and keep the 1992-M budget on track. A new 5 year plan will be introduc- ed to eliminate new spending, cutting the federal budget by $:30.7 billion over 5 years. This plan of action will help to in- crease revenue while lowering spending. Since August 1992, 200,000 full time jobs have been created. It is the Government of Canada's continued hope to provide these opportunities for Canadians while ensuring that they have control of their futures. "No new taxes and lower spending are essential to ensur- ing the competitiveness of Canada and a clear direction for Canadians." said Minister Browes. "This is the direction of the Government of Canada as %r continue to improve effi- ciency and spending controls."

May 12, 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: As part of its final Spring offering at The O'Keefe, the National Ballet of Canada is presenting the world premiere of Artist in Residence James Kudelka's The Miraculous Mandarin. That's an un- wieldy sentence for a reader. Miraculous Man- darin is a unwieldy sentence for an audience. This unhappy meld of Tommy. The Rite of Spring and more than a suggestion of Cats is purportedly the story -it's said to be a nar- rative ballet -of a dysfunc- tional family and its abuse of the youngest son. Why it should occupy space on a stage escapes one. The same sort of low- life con- duct can be observed on any drunken Saturday night street anywhere in the world. The ending is happy only because it signals the ringing down of the curtain. During its brief. but not brief enough, running time the stage is filled with writhing katzenjammer bodies in various poses of implicit sex play including what one might perceive as a suggestion of maternal cunnilingus. All this is to the musi�!- the music -of Bela Bartok. the bush league Stravinsky if indeed, the latter ever found his way out of the savannah. Is there anything good to be said of T.M.M.? Anything to approximate enjoyment? There certain- ly is.

The evening began favourably with Balan- chine's Serenade to the gloriously loved music of Tchaiko%sky's Serenade in C Major for Strings.

This was written in the comfortable lounge of the Variety Club to which we repaired after the media launch of the current On- tario Place season and while wearing the aforesaid windbreaker awarded to us. By all odds we should have looked like the captain of a Polish bowling team ( just kiddin' Stan!) but as always, we turned out quite spiffy. Modestly, of course. Oh yes, the Ontario Place season. As always it's quite interesting, entertaining and too full for The Col- umn's limited space to list. (Hint, hint! ) The best we can offer is a highly subjec- tive listing of highlights.

Small town girl comes to New York's Broadway to make the bigtime. She meets a sailor %rho is from her hometown and surprise - surprise he really wants to be a songwriter. The theatre has to close and the show ends up being produc- ed on the deck of a bat- tleship with the girl taking over the lead role. This was typical format for the Ruby Keeler Dick Powell movies. and the two leads in this show are actually called Dick d Rubv, just to emphasize the connection. Stage Centre did their usual excellent production with lots of energy, good singing, and excellent chorPooraphy. Jim Rawson (Dick), Janet Stuart (Ruby), fitted their characters like a glove. Beth Kipping ( Mona Kent) was believable as the nasty ego star of the show, whilst the ever present chorus girl with a heart of gold Joan was played by the multi talented Marilyn Meitz. The music although in the style of the 30's is not memorable. What made the real show of the 30's was the music and lyrics of Porter, Berlin, and the Gershwins. But it is an entertaining and enjoyable evening. This Wedri sday to Satur- day at 8 p.m. at Fairview I�brary Theatre. 35 Fair- view Mall Drive. North York Box Office 299-ai57.

Finance Minister Don Mazankowski's budget has faced a lot of criticism - some say it went too far, others say not far enough. One thing is for sure, this budget continues in the same direction as past budgets. It delivers a smaller govern- ment. Federal program spending will be held to about zero real growth - that's growth no greater than inflation - for the next five years. I will briefly tell you what was cut, and you can decide for yourself whether or not it was enough. The government, through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, will not increase its support for social housing beyond the current level of about $2 billion a year. Defence spending will be frozen in real terms beginning in 1994-95. Together with the 1992 restraint measures, this will generate total savings of $5.9 billion over five years. Operating subsidies to both the CBC and VIA Rail have been reduced by $50 million each in 1996-96 and $100 trillion in each of the following two years. Various lobby groups, such as the NAC. have been reduced by 10% this year and next, 15% in 1996-96. and 20% for each of the following two years. Funding to the Arts has also been cut. in some cases by up to 20$. The government is making additional cuts to departmen- tal operating budgets. They, along with reserves for con- tingencies and new initiatives. will be reduced by an addi- tional $300 million in both of the next two years, rising to $1.2 billion in 1997-98. Consider this. along with the public service wage freeze for the next two years, and it is clear that the government is serious about cutting its cost of operations. The government will continue its review of regulations. and is hoping to eliminate nearly 200 by the end of the year. Canadians generally support our social programs: collec- tively. we provide pensions for seniors, housing for prxu families. unernplo)wwrit insurance for workers. war veterans' allowance and veterans' disability pensions. These are exempt from spending restraint: but they are not exempt from improvement . Through my recent survey ..You be the Finance DTinister", many people in the nding told me that they wanted changes in spending in order to tackle the deficit. This budget agrees: spending cuts of $30.7 billion over the next five years and no borrowing requirements within five years. The budget is another step in the approach that the federal government is taking to rroum a reasonable, lorig- term solution to the deficit. It's not glamorous or radical. and it definitely won't be popular with vocal interest groups. But for Canadian taxpayers. including man in our community who answered my survey or otherwise made their views known to me. it's very close in many areas to what they were asking. for.

The presentation by Bruce McKelvey, Chair- man of our Education Com- mittee, was well received by the Comms ttee (eliciting questions and comments from Members of all par- ties) and the board was complimented for its thoughtful and consstrue- tive arguments. NDP member Mike Far- nan commented that the Premier agreed with the board that this legislation should reflect an economic focus. Bruce countered that, the Premier's inten- tions notwithstanding. the OTAB Act as it reads now with an add on to the pur- pose clause of **Improve- ment of the lives of workers and potential workers" changes the original em- phasis of the legislation and moves it away from having a solely economic focus. We recommended that the phrase be removed from the legislation. We also recommended greater authority and responsibility for the Local Boards, a wider represen- tation of non -unionized and self-employed workers, and the right to select a training provider based on "the merits of training" that provider can provide. Local Airport Authority As of Feb. 25, all five regions in the GTA had reviewed and approved the regional Chairmen's Task Force report on the crea- tion of a Local Airport Authority r LAA) for the GTA. The LAA will now proceed to incorporate and initiate discussions im- mediately with Transport Canada for the transfer of Pearson Airport. In addi- tion, discussions with other airports, including Button- ville Airport. will also com- nXInce. Jou"X Forces to t igtot a Had Idea On Feb. S. Board Presi - dent Gerry Meinzer. City of Toronto Mayor June Rowlands, Metro Toronto Couneilloe Norm Gardiner. and David Rapaport, Vice - President of the Ontano Public Service Employees Union held a press con- ference to voice our joint opposition to the Ontario Government Relocation Program t OGRP) which will move approximately 5,000 provincial govern- ment jobs out of Metro at an estimated cost of til billion. Gerry Meinzer received wide media attention and was quoted often on radio and T.V. as saying -the program is totally misguid- ed". In spite of all the opposi- tion. the Province is still going ahead with their Plans for the moves. For- tunately, the board will not give up! We immediately sent a letter to the Hon. Brian Chariton, recently appointed Chair of the Management Board of Cabinet, requesting a meeting to discuss feasible alternatives to the pro- gram. Board representatives will continue to meet with other groups opposing the government to stop this program. Read My lips: Reduce Government Spending On Fri. Feb. 19, a one - day conference, the "Metro Economic Summit", was sponsored by the Metro Job Start Coalition which con- sists of the major construc- tion trades and associa- tions, Metro Toronto and Metro's six local municipalities. The primary purpose of the Coalition is to lobby senior levels of govern- ment to undertake public projects as quickly as possible that will generate major employment for the construction industry. Mike Williams, a member of the board's council, presented our view that Metro can only afford those public projects that give us high economic returns. He also cautioned that the Metro economy will revive primarily through the revival of the private sector not through government -funded public projects Mike pointed out that, despite the private sector's reduction in rents and land costs. Metro remains a high-cost location for doing business in a large part due to a high tax burden. If government wishes to help the private sector recover, it can only do so by reduc- ing public sector spending through improved efficien- cies and reduced services. Mike emphasized that the sooner we get on with the tough decisions, the less the ultimate pain and the shorter the re -adjustment time. We hope the board's message will be acted upon by the elected officials that participated in the con- ference including Michael Wilson, Federal Minister of Industry, Science, and Technology, Bob Rae, Premier of Ontario. .clan Wed.

May 12. 1993 THF; NEWS POST Page I Shark Encounter Opens Ohio Sea World Perhaps the most misunderstood creatures in the sea, sharks evoke feel- ings of fear and fascina- tion. These swift aquatic predators will break the surface in Sea World of Ohio's new Shark En- counter when the park opens for its 24th summer season on May 22nd. One of the most significant capital projects in the park's history, it will be the Midwest's largest shark at- traction. Shark Encounter holds more than 1.55 million litres of saltwater and features a 12 meter wide pool stretching to a length of 30 meters and maximum depth of 5 meters. The unusual shape of the pool. often described as "dumbbell", differs from the conventional oval or circular aquarium design to provide the sharks with opportunities to glide diagonally. "This atypical design enables the sharks, some measuring 2.5 meters long, to glide - an important aspect in shark health and development," says Pete Mohan, curator of fishes for Sea World of Ohio. Curved acrylic panels. more than 12 cm. thick, separate guests from the deep water denizens. Thick panels are needed to hold back more than 7 kilos of water pressure per square centri metre exerted within the display. The uniquely shaped viewing area immerses shark observers 2 meters into the exhibit and almost as deep below the surface of the water. A moving walkway transports guests past the main display area, providing them with an up - close look at these menac- ing creatures. Upon entering Shark En- counter, a short educa- tional video introduces guests to the various types of sharks and dispels the myths surrounding these ominous ocean animals. "Sharks are generally regarded with a mix of fear and fascination." adds :Mohan. "In fact, most of the world's 350 species of sharks are harmless. !Man. through pollution, habitat destruction and over fishing, has caused more problems for sharks than vice versa... The Shark Encounter's underwater zones provide sharks such as bull. sand - tiger, lemon, nurse and brown, with open spaces for swimming. Companion species, including moray eels, pilot fish and tangs, utilize crevices of soft coral and rock in which to reside. A sandy bottom offers resting places for odd- looking sawfish - a shark relative - and nurse sharks. Special lighting inten- sifies this underwater ex- perience. Creating the ef- fect of deep ocean waters, profound darkness at the rear of the exhibit gives way to bright illumination near the viewing area, allowing the sharks to momentarily disappear on- ly to re-emerge into view when least expected. Additional educational graphics describing the sharks' adaptations and habits are displayed in the large observation area of the Shark Encounter. Sea World of Ohio's Shark Encounter represents years of research collected to help better educate the public about these truly fascinating. but often misunderstood. creatures.

Arts & Language Spectacle On Apr. 27th and 28th all Grade 9 students at Pear- son participated in an ..Arts & Language Spec- tacle" organized by their teachers of French, Drama, Music and Visual Art. Students had worked in small groups for the previous two weeks to create original productions in which they had to com- bine their skills and knowledge in all four of these subject areas. The goal of the teachers was to have students see that these school subjects do not exist in isolation from one another, but can all be related and intercon- nected, and also to offer students the opportunity to be creative and innovative in fitting them together. Most of the Grade 9 students rose to the challenge and worked en- thusiastically to develop their products. Some groups presented plays with French or bilingual dialogue. effective musical accompaniment and beautiful scenery or costumes which they had created. Others perfurrned in musical ensembles and added dramatic elements both in French and English. There was a wide variety of performances demonstrating the diverse interests and abilities of the students. Nirs. Gentile. Head of Modern Languages, Mr. Hunt, Head of Performing Arts, and Mr. Snelgrove.
