Report from Queen's Park By THE ION. GEORGE ASHE. MPP (PC - Durham West) Ontario Minister of Revenue A milestone in Canada's history was reached on November 5, when, after four days of discussion and debate by the premiers and representatives of the ten provinces and the federal government, a con- sensus was reached on the patriation of the Canad- ian Constitution with a Charter of Rights and Free- doms and an amending formula. To achieve this agreement, a lot of hard bargain- ing between Ottawa and the Provinces had to be ac- complished. Our own Premier Bill Davis took a leading role in the bargaining, once again establish- ing Ontario's role as the "honest broker" of Con- federation. When the opportunity for progress presented it- self, the Ontario delegation at the conference moved ahead, bargaining in good faith with the other premiers. As a result, others made concessions, and the movement toward final agreement was begun. An "amending formula" was agreed upon.. It is Christmas sale The Salvation Army Whitby Home League will be holding their Christmas sale and tea on November 21 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the corps' headquarters, 112 Kent Street. Featured will be home baking, Christmas gifts and decorations, toys and more. Proceeds will go to special projects spon- sored by the Salvation Army. All are welcome. Library book week The Whitby Public Library will be holding a Children's Book Festi- val during the week of November 16 to 21. To celebrate the "secret world" of Canadian books the library is sponsoring two events - a book mark coloring contest for boys and girls in kindergarten to grade 3 and an all Canadian book quiz for children in grades 4 to 6. Book marks, quiz forms and'contest rules can be picked up at the children's desk through- out this week. Contest winners will be announced Novem- ber 25.

For a night of ex- cellent Italian cuisine, dancing, romntic at- mosphere and enter- tainment, Tino Fazio at Fazio's, 33 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, is putting it all together to celebrate his first anni- versary with all his customers and many friends. Fazio's has become known as the place to dine for Italian special- ties, and it has become a popular dining spot for both the luncheon and evening crowds. For entertainment, Fazio's will be present- ing Jamie Drynan, star- ting November 17 through the next ten weeks. Jamie plays the acoustic and electric guitar, covering a full range, from classical to the latest popular hits on the music circuit. His vocalizing and in- strumental work will please all diners, and Tino feels assured that many of his patrons will be making return visits during . Drynan's 10- week stint. Tino has another sur- prise up his sleeve. Between 4 and 6 p.m. "Realistic Expecta- tions", is a one day con- ference on employment of disabled persons to be held Tuesday, Decem- ber 1, 1981 in Whitby. Conference chairper- son, Tom Edwards says, "We are very 'excited about the program and the information we have to share with em- A milestone in history rather different from the one referred to as the "Vancouver" or "Accord" formula. The section which would have provided fiscal compensation to a province opting out of a constitutional amendment which takes away from the traditional rights of the provinces has been deleted. Premier Davis advised deleting this section because he felt it would give provinces an encouragement to opt out of a program the rest of the country felt was in the national interest. Another of the important aspects of the agree- ment is the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Under the charter, all Canadians are guaranteed four basic rights: democratic rights, which include the right to vote and the right to stand for office; mobility rights, which allow all Canadians to live and work anywhere in the country, or to leave the country at any time. Minority language education rights are guaranteed, providing citizens of a Fren- ch or English-speaking minority of a province the right to educate their children in that minority language where numbers warrant. Under the new Constitutional agreement, as un- der the BNA Act, every citizen in Canada may have any service of the federal government provided in whichever of the two official languages he or she desires. Three other rights and freedoms outlined in the Charter fall under the "notwithstanding clause". This simply means that each Canadian has: legal rights, which include the right to life, liberty and security and the rights to equality before the law; equality rights, which protect citizens from dis- crimination on the basis of race, colour, religion, or sex; and fundamental freedoms such as the freedom of religion or thought, the freedom of the press or of peaceful assembly. Under the "notwith- standing clause", each citizen has those rights unless the federal government or any one of the provinces passes legislation which overrides one of those three provisions. If such a law is passed, it must be reviewed and voted on again every five years. Also enshrined in the Charter is the principle of equalization, which is basic to the function of this country. It recognizes the existence of regional disparities and maintains the provinces' control over the on-shore natural resources within their jurisdictions. Throughout the debate on the return of our consti- tution, Ontario has stood for a strong, united Canada. Our Premier believes that a united Canada is better equipped to meet the challenges of the 'eighties - of developing resources, encouraging manufacturing, and reducing inflation and unem- ployment - than ten separate provinces. eachday he is preparing a special treat and wan- ts you to ask about it *when you are in. He feels you will be pleasantly surprised. Fazio's will soon be celebrating a first anni- versary, and both Tino and Nick Fazio are look- ployers, health and social service workers and disabled job seekers." He adds, "Currently of interest are the pro- posed ammendments to the Ontario Human Rights Code, Bill 7, and the implications on em- ployment of dis- advantaged groups. "The bill says that it is not discrimination if a disabled person cannot fulfill the essential fun- etions of a job. The con- ference will provide the practical skills to deter- mine what the essential functions of a job are." Sponsored by the Durham Region District Health Council, the On- tario March of Dimes and the Ministry of Labour, the conference has been organized into three sessions with a program designed specifically for each target group. Conference highlights include: examining at- titudes towards disabled job candidates, evaluating the capa- bilites of a disabled job candidate, creative job search techniques for disabled persons, a panel presentation on the health care pro- fessionals' role in get- ting disabled persons in- to the work place, and the keynote address at the luncheon by Gordon Fairweather, Com- missioner of Human Rights for the Govern- ment of Canada. Edwards says, "We are very pleased with the support we have received from the City of Oshawa and the Town of Whitby to hold the conference. Both Mayor Bob Attersley and Mayor Allan Pilkey have shown initiative and interest in the needs of disabled people through their mayor's task forces and now through their tangible support of this con- ference." Registration fee for the conference, which includes lunch, is $10 for the full day and $5 for the half day.
