The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-01-07, Page 6PAGE 6 --GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1981 WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES TO NORMAL FAMILY REQUIREMENTS! Economic emergency .• JACK RIDDELL, MPP The Treasurer of Ontario, the 'Honourable Frank an economie statement for .4the meeting of Finance 11/TrAste_rs which was.. held in Ottawa two weeks ago. The document barely refers to what can only be described as an economic emergency facing our cciuntry and our province - •that 1st the near record high • level el interest raw, and their deVastatifig effect on small businesses and shoineoniners—The Treasurer talked vaguely about the aid for new monetary 'thinking and new policies to nevent-high-interestrates, hut then demonstrated that _Ire was inicapabk of providing either and that, even at the very least, he was unprepared to take measures to alleviate their effects in his oin province. We all 'mow that we haVe a problem and we need a • solution; The government. Of Canada's_lonest province surely, -Ought to have some -- •.solutions to 'offer 'before many small businesses go Y•iitto bankruptcy. What is needed-urgeatly is immediate help for homeowners and small businesses and the Finance Ministers across the country should set aside Other matters and deal right new with a cost share program to help soften the effects of interest rates on mortgage holders and small businesses. The following proposals were made by the Official Opposition Members last spring and hopefully the government may consider them at this time - EMERGENCY MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN: This programme would provide relief to homeowners as follows: 1. A "base" interest rate of 12 percent would be estabbiked, Then part of the - clifference between the base rate and the actual new interest payments due would be eligihle for government grants. 2. Grants would be provided to homeowners based on a sliding scale tied to gross family income. For exam- ple, family incomes of up to $20,000 would qualify for a grant of 75 percent of the difference in payment levels. A family with $27,500 in total annual income would receive 50 percent of the difference in a grant. Families with over $37,000 income, however, would receive no grantsat alL 3. The following limitations would apply: a) only the first $40,000 of a mortgage would qualify for a grant; and b) the maximum grant allowable would be $150 per month. EMERGENCY EMPLOYMENT PROTECTION FUND This programme would provide relief to small, Canadian -owned, owner - operated businesses by making available a pool of, government money, to assist with loan interest payments as follows: 1. The amount of govern- ment funds to be made available fOr this project would be, a maximum of $30,000,000. 2. Assistance would amount to a basic 50 percent of the difference between actual interest charges and our base rate of 12 p'etreht. 3. Priority would be given to manufacturing and tourism enterprises which have a positive impact on our balance of payments position\ ,Turn to page 7 * • 4 DO BETTER AT A&P Prices effective thru Saturday, January 1Mh, 1981 Cana All Purpose P.E.I.
