THE WINGHAN ADYANCETIMES
Steckle defends decision
to vote against two bills
Continued from front page
vote on motions that stood on their
own.
"By voting one could incriminate
themselves," he said.
Now the bill has passed its final
reading, it will move on to the Sen-
ate. 1[f passed at this level, the legis-
lation would:
*Bring in mandatory registration of
an estimated seven million fire-
arms;
*Ban future importation and sale of
small handguns;
* Impose a minimum four-year sen-
tence for crimes committed with a
gun;
*Increase measures to prevent ille-
gal weapons from entering Canada.
Currently only about 1.2 million
handguns and other restricted weap-
ons are registered. debate has been
heated over whether this bill will
help to stem violent crime in Cana-
da or serve to criminalize law-
abiding citizens if they do not regis-
ter their firearms.
Steckle said he has received a lot
of support from his colleaguesand
holds no ill- against those who were
in favor of this legislation. Al-
though post of the other members
of parliament treat him as well as
they hadbefore, this controversial
bill has affected Steckle's relation-
ship with some of his fellow politi-
cians.
Whether the six new members
who voted against the legislation
on its third reading will be disci-
plined, Steckle could not say.
The polls which Rock points to
in support of Bill C-68 indicate that
the great majority of Canadians
agree with further gun control. A
90 -minute telephone poll conduct-
ed by BC TV suggests just the op-
posite. Of the 23,598 people who
phoned in to the station, only 16
per', cent said they supported the
bill. An overwhelming 84 per cent
indicated they were not in favor of
the proposed legislation.
"This is not reflective of the kind
of polls we have been led to believe
are out there," Steckle said.

Schenk said that the committee
• has talked with many .people and
have sent letters to various minis-
tries and departments at both levels
of government.
Reeve Bert Elliott said he want-
ed all needed preliminary work
done before anything gets started.
He was concerned about it coming
back on the township.
"Craig (Metzger) has to be sat-
isfied before I'm satisfied," said
the Reeve.
Schenk said that both levels of
government have given their ap-
proval for the project, while Him-
melman doesn't think anything
else should be done.
Metzger said he would like to
hear from the Ministry of Munici-
pal Affairs, before a final decision
is made.
Council will wait to hear from
the ministry by its July 4 meeting,
at which time further discussions
will take place.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE H,,19
New owners...The Kinsmen Club bought the Bel -
gave Hotel, with Morris Township taking ownership.
Belgrave liotel nears
receiving a new life
Kinsmen looking to buy
Ken Hopper told Morris Town-
ship council on Thursday that the
Belgrave Kinsmen Club was 99
per cent certain of matching the
asking price for the former Bel -
grave Hotel building.
The township would then take
over the ownership of the proper-
ty, because the Kinsmen Club are
not allowed to own property.
Under an agreement between
the township and the Kinsmen
Club, the township would put 13
per cent of the agreed -to price
down, and would pay the remain-
der within 60 days.
The Kinsmen Club would then
pay the township back within a
certain time period, with the ex-
ception of a $5,000 grant.
Hopper suggested that the town-
ship tear the building down as fast
as they can.
However, he added that the
building's historical designation
would have to be removed before
anything could be done to the
building.
Councillor John Duskocy made
a motion that council procede a
motion to rescind the building's
heritage designation upon the
completion of the sale.
Hopper said the Kinsmen Club
tried to buy the hotel at an auction
in 1994, but were unsuccessful.
Medalists...Winning medals were Angela Chippa,
Stephanie McDonnell, Shannon Thompson, (back) Katie O'Neil,
and Kevin Waechter. Absent is Lisa Kelly.
