Gord's View from Gord Milîs MPP Durham East "Towards a Social Charter" "We must beware of trying to build a society in which, nobody counts for anything except a politician or an off iciai' -Winston Churchill Where once Canada was linked seas to seas chiefly by its railways, we are now linked by common values that are expressed mnost clearly in our institutions of social policy. In recent years-, many Canadians have become quite concerned about the norms and principles of social polîcy, and about the survival and growth of prograins such as the heal th care system, post secondary education, the Canada Pension Plan, and unemployment insuirance. Social programs are prcsently of special concein for a number of reasons. Canadians are mware mhat the constitutional negotiations include proposais which could bring about a further decentralization of the federation. While many people are not necessarily opposed to changes in the distribution of powers between- governments, many Canadians do flot want to see their social programs becoming less national. In fact, public opinion poîîs repcatedly demonstrate, that the maintenance of national principles in social prograins, be enforced. It is estimated that in less than ten years, mhe federal govermnent will no longer be sharing the costs of health and post-secondary educationl. People who are committed to the continuing growth of social prograins and to extending them to important new areas such as child care, and eliminating poverty amnong children and the working poor, are concerncd at mhis loss of momentum i social policy. It seems mhat we are in need of a social charter to address these concerrns. It doesn't rcally matter how jurisdictions are balanced, or what the p riorities and financial concerns of govemiments might be, the social charger should guarantee that basic national values and principles are maintained. Govenments should be required to abide by these values, and to finance mhe prograins to implemnent thcm. Extensive public discussion is now needed concerning the types of principles to be cnshrined in the Constitution. For inclusion, are key social principles, which I believe, Most Canadians feel are fundamental to their definition of Canadian society.
