The McKay famlly.--6 Report from Ottawa By Bob lItIclUnley, MP Last Tuesday when the House of Commons resumed., the Toronto Globe and Mail ran a headline which read, "M.P.'s just running out clock as House resumes," and they quoted one long- time member as saying that from now until the election, the`government is not likely to introduce legislation of any great economic importance. Bills currently scheduled for debate include two that are sure to affect most Canadians. One is a bill to turn the Post Office into a crown corporation. The other is a bill to change the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation's role, so that instead of lending mortgage money at low rates, it will subsidize interest paid to private mortgage holders. This bill is likely to receive close scrutiny from op- position members to ensure that taxpayers' betting because I fear it funds are not used, for would jeopardize the example, to subsidize operation of the Class B mortgages on private racetracks in South - luxury hotels.
