Speaking to You By SCOTT FENNELL, M.P. (PC - Ontario) Let's look back at 6 and 5, the numbers game in.- troduced by the Liberals a yearago. Liberals now dlaim that 6 and 5 brougbt inflation down and is, responsible for tbe recovery. 1 don't give 6 and 5 any credit for the improved conditions of tbe economy: in tbe firat place, economiecpnditions in the United States- are responsible for the recovery sparked in Canada. In the second place, it was the Liberals' bigb spendlng, interventlonist and centralizing policies that ruined the economy. Trudeau bas wrestled ini- flation to the groung at a cost of 2 million bast jobs. Last July 1 stated in the debate on 6 and 5 that tbe bil would flot bave been necessary if this gover- nment bad flot destroyed tbe economy over the past 14 years. My main criticism of the bill remains un- cbanged. It did notbing more than guarantee- tbat every member of Parliament, every civil servant in Ottawa, and every civil servant in tbe country will get a 6 per cent increase in pay. I don't tbink the unemployed are very impressed wltb tbat fact. Six and five did notbing constructive for tbe rest of Canada. Watreally burts is that government Inruom its expenditures by 20 per cent ast year. On0* cM third of government'departments stayed Insîlde the guldelines. 6 and 5 was a patchwork solution; patchwork solutions do not solve major structural problems. The Liberals bave'carried out a psychologicaî scam on the Canadian public and it sbould be stop- ped. It is time the public had the choice to decide wbetber tbey want tbis government or wbetber tbey want rid of Trudeau and 6 and 5.j WHITBY FR EE PRESS, WEDNESDAYJULY 27, 1983, PAGE il 1975, Wlntarlo bas generated over $44 milion for more than 41,000 individual grants tbrougbout tbe province. Promotlng people Involvement and generatlng community pride, Wlntarlo and citizens work together to maintain and improve tbequallfy of 111e cbaracteristic of our Ontario. Communlty funding generated to complement eacb Wlntarlo grant has resulted lni a $1.5 billion contribution to tbe Ontario economy - much of it in the construction industry witb more tban 16,000 jobs credited to the program. In the arts, theatres bave been givena new lease on 111e. Sports facilities and libraries can now develop a cbild's - and adult's - potential to the fullest. Museums are aided in preserving our nation's past. Commumity centres become year- round recreational oases. By stimulatlng local pride and community involvement and responsibility, Wintario does indeed dedicate itself to bringing our citizens togetber. L017ARIO Like Wlntario, tbe $208 million Lottario profits raised s0 far are earmarked for sports, fltness, recreational and cultural projects; but unlike Win- tario, Lottario grants are dedlcated solely to major projects wlth a regional or provincial impact. These grants reflect a commitment that reaches beyond the reaim of local municipalities - they are felt in every corner of the province. The 70-yeat-old Royal Ontario Museum bas been given a new lease on hife. Sudbury's new Science Centre wil be an educational, economic and cultural landmark for now and future generations. Roy Thomson Hall offers a unique environment bo continue our great Canadian musical tradition; it bas now taken its rightful place among the finest la North Amer ica. People of ail ages, from ail walks of life - the able and disabled - are now assisted and encouraged to try this new musical experience and enjoy it to the fullest. 1t 'I1RY~ NURRY!I DE IE ISCUNST PRCES Report from Queen'sPr Ity The lion.

The original game, Wlntario, is a unique Ontario success story tbat is stlll unfolding; for through the Wlntario grants programs, communities, in- dividuals and government bave joined forces in fund-raising efforts in projects for the public's benefit. Since .1975, Lèttario, Provincial, Super Loto and Lotto 6/49 games bave been added until by the end of 1962 more tban $816 million bas been raised for important p ublic projects. And with tbe creation of the Trillum Foundation, o0perating under a volunteer board of directors at arm's lengtb from tbe governinent, province-wide volunteer social service organizations will sbare In Jlottery proceeds to supplement on-going programns. At the base of these grants is. a single purpuse: bo make Ontario a better place to live for the citizens of today and tomorrow. in one way or another, lot- tery grant programs bave toucbed everyone in On- tario. Whetber it be a new arena, the promotion of ethnic and native customs or tbe preservation of our historical past, lottery dollars bave been and- will contine to be, an integral part of Ontario's lifestyle.
