To the O.P.P. who were very helpful in contacting members of our widely scattered 11/' Reportfrorn Parliament by R.E. McKinley, M.P. Huron-NMlddlesex The Federal Government is continuing to ignore urgent economic problems because it is more concerned about the narrower issues of language and the unity debate. Everyone realizes that minority rights have to be protected in Canada but the country also needs an economic strategy and new national goals that pull Canadians together in spite of differences in language and culture. We need new economic policies to restore a sense of purpose in Canada. It is not „a sensible policy to focus on language issues when a country needs these new national goals to survive, for after all many of a country's social problems are tied closely to its economic per- formance and in one word Canada's trend is ---DOWN. A quick look at some of the economic indicators show us that from 1967 to 1976 Canadian Federal spending increased more than 3.5 times. In 1976 it was close to 36 billion dollars against revenues 'of only 32 billion. It is estimated that this year's family, to Betty Feagan who helped in countless ways, and other neighbours who b'rought baked goods, to Rev. Norman Pick, who was on hand to give support during the long hours until the closest member of our family arrived; to all those who sent messages of sympathy, floral tributes or contributed to charities in his memory; to Beatties for their thoughtfulness, to Rev. Norman Pick and Rev... Lawrence Lewis for their words of comfort each day and at the funeral service, to the Ontario St. U.C.W. for providing lunch, giving an opportunity for many of Larry's former associates during his 35 years with Eastern Canadian Greyhound Lines to renew acquaintances with our family and to meet relatives and friends. Froth our hearts, we say thank you, one and all. —Marion Murray, Dawn, Bob Bruce and families and sisters Ada and Margaret. —43x deficit will top eight billion dollars. It is ironic that while the Government requires by force of law that the tax- payers which it rules must keep their incomes and ex- penditures in check or loose any large increases in profits, this same Government is increasing its own income and spending by over 20 percent. The so-called Canadian Federal Government restraint program sounds best in the pres4 releases. In fact, it has little .substance. The program was started in June 1975. Since that time, main estimates of Federal spending from 1976 to .1978 have risen by 27 percent with Federal operating costs rising by 37 percent. As Caucus Committee Chairman of Public Works, I know that Capital Cost overruns have caused a great increase in Federal Gover- nment expenditures. Consider Montreal's Mirabel Airport. In '1970, the cost was estimated at a mere 100 million. There has been no final accounting as yet, but experts are agreed that the total cost may exceed 500 million, with sone saying as high as 1 billion. Consider Ottawa's newest glass office building, built for the people of Finance, the Bank of Canada Building: First budgeted at 36 million dollars in 1971, recent figures put the cost over 57 million dollars. This building isn't even finished and it is estimated to go higher. Consider the CN Tower in Toronto. As late as 1975 public e§timates of construction costs was' 24 million dollars. The most recent estimate is between 58 and 60 million dollars. No business could survive such mistakes, yet there are dozens more at the Federal level for which the public must bear the cost. The Federal Government will continue to survive however by either printing more money or borrowing it on the world market with the end result being: And ncwa look at the local news. When it comes to local reporting of the news, eight out of ten people turn to their local newspaper for a complete report. People turn to local newspapers, for a full report on all local news. Where's the fire? Who got married? Who won last week's football game? All this, and a complete report on your Council, school board meeting, or a possible bond issue, is news in your community. Arid, your local newspaper re- ports it. People believe strongly in newspapers for several reasons: newspaper readin4 is a habit with most people; it's part of the daily routine; people regard their newspaper as a friend they can't do without. With over 80% of all adults, and 70% of all teen-agers reading a newspaper every week, no other news medium can match local newspapers for speedy, thorough saturation of your town. Newspapers deliver the local story. CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING THE COMMUNITY PRESS OF CANADA -i- It will "increase the money supply which is in- flationary. + The Government will compete against the private borrower for world money, pushing up interest rates, a result which is not only In- flationary but also slows down the investment of new capital in business , which would otherwise be ex- panding or re-equipping. + It will be spending far in excess of its own guidelines,, an action which is clearly inflationary. Let's look at some other indicators of our economy. By the end of 1975 Canada's 0 rapidly growing indebtedness to the rest of the world • reached a net 43 billion dollars. With Governments and business borrowing heavily abroad this year the total indebtedness will continue to increase. During the past three years Canada has failed to produce a surplus on goods traded to pay for the deficit on ser- vices, trade, and tourism. Our current account trade deficit has risen to about 4 billion dollars for 1977. This current deficit means that Canada is consuming more goods and services than it produces at home; and so is living 'well beyond its means and is borrowing, at a high price from foreigners to do it. This current account deficit has contributed to the marked devaluation of the Canadian dollar. Reports from London, England show the Canadian dollar trading at about 90 cents U.S., the lowest level it has reached' during the seven years it has been floating. Canadians who have sudh close contact with the U.S. have learned that the value of a nation's' currency is a pretty good measure of how well the nation is doing generally. • The other negative aspects of this large devaluation is that there will be more in- • flation and our debt obligations mainly in foreign currency will now become • more expensive. If the net 12.5 billion borrowed abroad in 1975 and 1976 wascon- verted to U.S. dollars, recently devaluation would require a payment of 14 billion dollars just to retire the principal. Our interest rates will also be higher. Another dark economic trend is 8.3 percent unem- ployment. rate. Most of us are aware of the immediate economic consequences of unemployment - a tremen- dous load on unemployment insurance and welfare ser- vices, an unreturnable loss in our potential growth prospects,' and disruptions in the development of our work force and our'industry. There are' also social costs which do not appear at first, but which are equally heavy and of a longer duration, especially among the young. The record demonstrates that the minister of finance needs help. His advisors, hung over from previous ministers, are not adequate. We suggest the minister should ask the top financial brains of the country for assistance. A `council of economic advisors should be set up to help form short and medium term policy. Its members should be drawn from our senior industrialists, bankers, labour leaders, small businessmen and consumer advocates. These groups have given free advice in the past, the finance minister should harness them, get them working together, ask for their suggestions as to how we may get out of today's economic morass. Such a group will help remove the making of economic policy from its current realm of fantasy and force it to adjust to the harsh realities of today. The minister's officials are out of touch. , Their efforts must be supplemented by those who understand today's market place and have practical solutions for our problems. Other countries have followed this approach, why should we note STOP -BOTH DIRECTIONS FOR A SCHOOL BUS 1t • •
