PAGE 17. Steckle makes easy decision By Tim Cummings Goderich Signal-Star Huron-Bruce MP Paul Steckle said voting in favour of an independent ethics commissioner last Tuesday was the easiest decision he has ever made to vote against the party line. "It was the easiest issue (on which) I've ever opposed my government," said the Huron- Bruce MP, who has broken ranks with his Liberal colleagues on previous issues such as the federal gun registry. The opposition motion on Feb. 13 said the ethics commissioner should report directly to Parliament, not to the prime Minister. Steckle says he didn't oppose Liberal party policy when he voted for the motion because it was pulled directly from the Liberal party's 1993 election platform, the famous 'Red Book.' There will be no party repercussions for his actions, said Steckle. "How can you bring to account, in a negative way, someone who has supported party policy?", asked Steckle. "I'm the one who supported the policy, my colleagues didn't." The same day the vote was announced, Steckle was named to two standing committees he had requested, Agriculture and Agri-Food and also Fisheries and Oceans. The opposition motion, to make the ethics commissioner independent, may have been politically motivated. "I think in all fairness it was a mischievous motion," said Steckle. He said the Alliance hadn't made this an issue before and used the motion as a way to embarrass the prime minister. "In seven years we've never heard from the Alliance on this policy," he said. Still, said Steckle, whatever the motives behind the motion, he was in favour of it. Steckle, and Oshawa's Ivan Grose, were the only Liberal MPs to vote for the opposition motion. There were four others who abstained and more than 20 Liberal -MPs were not in the House of Commons for the vote. Steckle was so busy answering media interview requests on Wednesday, he did not attend the party's weekly caucus meeting. It was one of only two or three caucus meetings he has missed, according to the MR Steckle voted in favour of independence for the ethics commissioner but he also said it was the Liberal government which brought in an ethics commissioner in the first place. He said Liberal members were encouraged to vote with the party on last week's motion but he said there was no heavy-handed arm- twisting. Close to 40 telephone calls from across Canada had come into the Steckle's office by Thursday morning. All of the calls were in favour of Steckle's decision to break ranks with his Liberal Party colleagues in the House of Parliament and vote for an opposition motion in favour of an independent ethics commissioner. Steckle's executive assistant, Bob Swartman, was asked what breakdown there was of calls in favour, or against, the MP's position. "There's no breakdown," he said. "Everybody supports Paul's position (so far)." The opposition Canadian Alliance put forward a motion that was taken practically word-for-word from the Liberal Paity's 1993 `Red Book' or campaign promises. The federal Liberal government voted against a policy it had written. "Quite frankly, people are having difficulty understanding why the government doesn't support (the motion)," said Swartman. Steckle was interviewed on live nati,onal television on Tuesday night after the vote. Steckle was asked by well- known TV broadcaster Mike Duffy whether he would face party punishment for his actions. The Huron-Bruce MP, who has voted against the government • with some frequency, said he shouldn't be punished for supporting a policy the party campaigned on in 1993. Many of the callers to the Goderich office of the MP supported Steckle's standing up on conviction, despite the potential_ repercussions. - "They support his courage for standing up on this particular issue, even long- time Liberals are supporting it," Swarttnan said. The auditor-general reports independently to Parliament, so why shouldn't the ethics commissioner, Swartman asked. The Huron-Bruce MP has voted against party lines seve-ral times. He says parliamentiarians are moving slowly towards more independence in how they vote. "We've moved some considerable distance in parliamentary reform," he said. More government members of parliament have opposed the governing party on issues than they did seven years ago, said Steckle. He said the number of Liberal MPs who have voted against the party line has risen from about four to forty in that time. Steckle didn't seem too flustered by all the fuss around his vote. "This will all pass," he said. "I can look back some day when I'm in my recliner, and life gets a little less hectic, and we'll smile about these things," he said.
