Times -Advocate, November 25, 1987 The Cardiff Report From the beginning of the trade negotiations the government vowed that there would be no deal if a'good deal for Canada could not be nego- tiated. Agriculture Minister John Wise said that unless there was a good deal for Canadian agriculture, there would be no deal. . We have a very good deal for Ca- nadian Agriculture, giving Canada improved, secure access to our larg- est trading partner. The agreement provides economic benefits for Ca- nadian agriculture, and provides the advantages of a binding dispute settlement mechanism. The two governments have agreed to remove all tariffs by January 1, 1988. Tariffs will be eliminated on the basis of three formulas: 1. Some will be eliminated on the agreement entering into force on January 1, 1989; 2. Some will be eliminated in five equal steps, most starting on January 1, 1989; and 3. Some will be eliminated in ten steps, most starting on January 1, 1989. The gradual phase out period will give producers time to make any needed adjustments. Fruits and vege- tables will receive special treatment for up to 20 years, under certain cII, acti 3 fiollift9.1 conditions. In addition, the agreemernt does not prevent Canada from proceeding with amendments to the Canada Ag- ricultural Products Standards Act which would provide us with legal authority to prevent imports on a consignment sales basis and to con- trol imports in non-standard bulk containers. Commitment: March 16, 1987. A Government motion stated: "this House supports the negotia- tion of a bilateral trading arrange- ment with the United States as part of the government's multilateral trading policy, while protecting ow agricultural marketing systems..." Fulfilled: The Agreement re - 'tains Canadian supply management. Further, necessary underpinnings to the success of our supply manage- ment systems remain secure. The Government indicated• throughout the negotiations that supply managed commodities were not part of the negotiations. This is what has happened. Canada also re- tains the right to add additional dairy and poultry products to the existing import control lisi Commitment: It was promised that we would retain the right to de- cide, in Canada, what kinds of mar- keting systems we should have for Economy intact It' .lack Hidden In a recent economic statement to the legislature, Treasurer Robert Nixon said that despite disruptions to world stock markets, the funda- mental strength of the Ontario econ- omy remains intact. "Accordingly, Ontario's economy will continue to grow during the next year," Nixon said. In real terms, Ontario's economy is expected to grow by 3.9 percent this year. In line with the stronger growth of the economy, employ- ment is even more robust than an- ticipated. Job creation for 1987 is expected to average over 140,000. The unemployment rate, which has displayed a downward " trend throughout the year, will average 6.2 percent in 1987. It is currently 5.7 percent, the lowest it has been in the past decade. For the past five years, the Onta- rio economy has experienced one of its strongest expansions on record. The province is now in the twenty- first consecutive quarter of growth. During this time, real output has grown by more than 32 percent and employment has grown by 19 per- cent. Operating Grants Announced In his economic statement, Mr. Nixon pledged $15.5 billion in op- erating perating grants to schools, hospitals, colleges, universities and munici- . palities for the fiscal year 1988-89. This represents an increase of -S1 billion over the levels for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1988. "In the past two years, the prov- ince has strengthened its partnership with these important institutions," Mr. Nixon said. In order to further common goals, the Government will continue the practice of.making early announcements of the major transfer payment levels, within a framework of fiscal responsibility. For 1988-89, the transfer pay- ments from the province to hospi- tals will increase by 6.9 percent to more than $5.4 billion and schools will receive a 6.8 percent increase to more than $3.8 billion. Operating grants to municipalities will in- SELAH OPENING - Exeter Mayor Bruce Shaw (centre) cut the ribbon at the opening of Selah family books, a Christian -oriented bookstore on Main Street, Saturday.

Separate board asks for construction money The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board will ask the ministry of education for more than $6' million to build a Catholic secondary school in Strat- ford, which it hopes will be ready for students in 1990, for Grades 9 to 13. The present secondary school in Stratford is St. Michael with Grades 7, 8, 9 10.and 11 in six classrooms, two science laboratories, one busi- ness studies room, one multi- purpose room, one special education room and four portables. John McCauley, Superintendent of Education, while discussing the 1988 capital requests to the Mini- stry of Education, explained the board received a capital allocation • Former Granton lady in London hospital Sy MRS. E. SUMMERS Gronton Mrs. Neil McGill of London for- merly of the 'Granton arca is a pa- tient in St,. Joseph's Hospital in London. She expects to be in a nursing home shortly. All contacts will be with" Mrs. Mona Aitken, phone 438-2772, London. Sincere sympathy is extended to the family of the late Mrs. Delmar Westman (Jean) formerly of Gran- ton who passed away in St. Marys Memorial Hospital on Sunday No- vember 22 after a lengthy illness. Mrs. Westman had been crippled with arthritis for many years and had been a patient in St,. Marys Memorial Hospital for the past sev- en years. At the Granton United Church, the Rev. Bruce Pierce was in charge of the Sunday morning worship and took his sermon from Acts III:1-21 and entitled his message "Dealing with Paralysis". In the children's time the minister asked them "Why do we do things for people" and someone answered because it makes us happy". At St. Thomas Anglican Church Rev. Beverly Wheeler was in charge of the morning prayer service and Kayleen Roloson was crucifer. Ken- neth Beatson read the two lessons. Organist was Marlene French. It being the last Sunday after Pentecost, Rev. Wheeler spoke on Jesus' last words. This -is the day of reflection, if we have faith, hope, love, trust and compassion, we will dwell in the house of the Lord for- ever. Next Sunday services will be at 11 a.m. e from the ministry in 1987 for $125,000 for the capital needs at St. Michael. It was used in all subject areas, with particular emphasis on laboratory facilities and equipment. Mr. McCauley said the science needs will be adequately met until 1990 when a new secondary school will be needed. He said the board's major accommodation concern at St. Michael School is that "the en- tire campus will be filled by, porta- ble classrooms and parking by 1989", which he reported to the ministry, to emphasize the space problem. Mr. McCauley said the 1988 to 1989 enrolment projection for its secondary school shows it increas- ing from 258 in 1988 with Grades 9 to 11 to 424 in 1991 with grades 9 to 13, and after that probably in- creasing to between 435 to 465. By 1989 Mr. McCauley said it is expected that Grade 7 and 8 students accommodated at St. Michael will be moved to either St. Ambrose or Si Aloysius elementary schools in Stratford. Full funding of Catholic high schools and the resulting transfer of Catholic students to separate high schools is' resulting in tcachcrs in the public schools losing their jobs. To rectify this, the Pcrth County Board and the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Board arc in the process of working out a formal agrecmcnt to transfer tcachcrs who are displaced by the changing enrol- ment on the ratio of 16 students for each transferred teacher. Two teach- ers have already moved from the Perth Board to St. Michael School voluntarily. In other business the trustees ap- proved the working drawings for the addition and renovations at St: Am- brose separate school with work to be carried out in the spring. Special education self-contained classes, located at this time at St. Aloysius School will be transferred to St. Ambrose School by Septem- ber 1988. The special education classes will be attended by all ex- ceptional elementary pupils in Stratford and Perth County. Bowling scores Monday night • Ladles - F:�515 r SM H. Forrest :5x17 55 o1': T.

Producer groups can follow current procedures to develop new agricultu- ral marketing systems, complete with supply management powers.. We are free to introduce new sup- ply management programs support- ed by import controls in accordance with GATT rules (all present pro- grams are fully consistent with GATT rules.) Commitment:We said we must maintain the right to seasonal tariffs in the Horticultural industry. Fulfilled: Recognizing the spe- cial needs of this industry, the gov- ernment negotiated an exception from the terms of the Agreement. Over a 20 year period, existing tar- iffs will be reduced (10 years), and then can be re -implemented if cer- tain criteria arc met. crease by 6.7 percent to almost 54.1 billion. Universities will receive an increase of 6.7 percent to more than 51.5 billion and operating grants to community colleges will increase by 6 percent to more than 5660 million. Response to Federal Tax Reforms In his statement, Treasurer Robert Nixon said Ontario's response to proposed federal tax changes will be guided by the need to maintain the ability of the tax system to deliver adequate revenues in a fair, competi- tive and simple fashion. Nixon said many concerns have been expressed about the possible impact of a new, broad-based sales tax on low-income Canadians. "This government will not enter into an agreement on a new national sales tax unless we are provided the flexibility to ensure its fair applica- tion for low-income individuals and families through a system of tax credits or exemptions," Mr. Nixon told the legislature. Podborski Report on Health Promotion Health Minister Elinor Caplan re- cently released the Podborski Report on Health Promotion in Ontario. The report is the result of a three year study in nine Ontario commu- nities by an advisory group led by formcr World Cup ski champion Steve Podborski. The Podborski Report recom- mends increased government spend- ing on health promotion and disease prevention. Health Minister Caplan said the report will be a welcome complement to health promotion activities recently begun by the On- tario Government. A new Health Promotion Branch has been established to implement a S2.5 million program of communi- ty health promotion grants and healthy lifestyles advertising. As well, the 5100 million Health Inno- vations Fund will place a priority on programs that emphasize health promotion and disease prevention. The Podborski Report is the final report in -a series of three recom- mending that Ontarians be encour- aged and given the incentives to take more personal responsibility for their own health and that gov- ernments become serious about health promotion. The pleasure we derive from doing favors is partly in the feeling it gives us that we are hot altogether worthless.
