.Government passing on extra tax
In order to present your
opinions and concern
BY GREGOR CAMPBELL town and local utility for the
Expositor Staff purpose of accounting as
separate "municipalities" as
Rather than get rid of the has been the practice until
now, therefore not subject to
the GST on goods and ser-
vice, the federal liberals have
decided by order -in -council
to,change the procedure and
now bill municipalities for
this GST, retroactive to April
23.
The town normally gets a
51.17 per cent rebate on the
controversial seven per cent
GST, so this new' accounting
actually translates into a net
increase of three per cent, as
Crocker calculates it.
Seaforth has not yet been
officially notified of any
change, actual, or -otherwise,
by Ottawa.
But if it proves true it will
cost the town a "roughly"
estimated $2,000 annually,
Crocker says.
The clerk agrees that the
GST actually going up, not
down, has hit Seaforth like a
"bolt from the blue," and is
odious because of its retroac-
tivity, after the town's budget
has been set.
Minimum wage rate
These are the new mini-
mum wage rates that took
effect the beginning of the
work week thaj included
January 1, 1995.
General hourly rate (includ-
ing domestic and harvest
workers) is currently $6.85,
up from $6.70. The student
hourly rate (under 18 years)
was raised from $6.25 to
$6.40. Liquor servers were
previously $5.80 and are now
$5.95.
MP wants to hear
youth work concerns
Human Resources
Development Minister, the
Honourable Doug Young, has
created, a Ministerial Task
Force on Youth, according to
a recent press release from
Huron -Bruce MP Paul
Steckle.
Maurizio Bevilacqua, MP
for York North, and his team
of Members of Parliament
and Senators are travelling
extensively throughout
Canada canvassing young
people to openly discuss their
views about their future
employment prospects.
"Many young people have
difficulty entering the labour
market, whether you are
seeking a summer job, or
pursuing a career after the
completion of high school,
university or college. In order
to come up with effective
solutions to Canada's youth
employment challenge, we
need to be very clear about
the future world of work in
which young people will
spend their lives," according
to Steckle.
