Q.ueen's 1Pcak Report [rom Gord Milis, MPP Durham East Continued sialling tactics by both opposition parties drag the Spring sitting of the Legisiature inio July. Looking at the legisiation that must have either 2nid Reading or 3rd Reading before the House rises, makes continued daily and night sittings a rcal possibility until well into August. Government members arc determined to get thinLys done, even if it means sitting al summer long. We do have a right to be allowcd to govezw, something both opposition parties have failed to grasp since October 1990. 1 find it quite amazing how some news items provoke large numbers of people into writing rather angry letters to me. Take for example the recent, grant made by The Ontario Arts Council' of $30,000 to the C.A.W. under their Artists ini the Workplace program for -a study in humour. Provincial govemnments of ail stripes have been making grants, to the Ontario Arts Council for years . ,Once in receipt of the funding , al agencies, including the Ontario Arts Council, go about the task of ailocating funds as the various Board of Directors weigh the merits of applications received. Can you imagine the hue and cry that would, erupt if the governiment started to interfere With the clecisions of the Arts Council and other boards in receipt of go)ý--rnment funding? What about if the government told library boards they had pure hased the wrong books? I suspect that the resentment over the grant for "Humour" awarded the C.A.W. stems from the association between the C.A.W. and the government! In view of the recent developments in that relationship, the humour aspect may bc very apt. The Federal Conservati-ve government recently gave millions of tax dollars towards the establishment of a Museum of Humour in Montreal. If you think the grant by the Arts Council l'or the C.A.W. to study humour is'laugha ,ble, what about "Draw Your Weapons" at the Museum of Humour. This represents domestic battles through a dining-room table littered with the remnants of a family fight: a crumpled newspaper, which evidently provided the subject matter, surroundcd by spilled wine bottles and other evidence of sudden slippage! 11 For a real gut-wrenchinz laugh, what about the TV monitor which as you ben d over to look at it, bas the screen display a close-up of your own rear end! How many people have complained about this 'waste' of tax dollars to the local federal MIP? I got lots of 'bad mail' over the grant of only $30,000, but then, I'm an NDP'rwho doesn't bave the lpxury of acceptance - or whateveayou call it! 11Some &--the more interesting letters in my mail-bag last week inc.12led one from a man who told wie that people on welfare should-~be made to be ashamed of >theiiwxistence, and they should get what they deserye - next to nothiàg! -A télçlhone caller, a pharmacisý told me that women on welfare shouldn't be getting "fertility drtigs". lse there any wonder thât mn ywife is teiling me that my hair is gpomg white! Fipally fot this week, a comment on thé Social Contract and in anskver to ahl those who have bombarded me over my support for ht. The current action of the government to' impose expenditure reductions for public services through legisiation i the absence of a negotiated agreement to achieve that goal does NOT, 1 maintain, destroy the rights to collective bargaining. Rather, it suspends the terms of such collective agreements in the area of- remuneraton for a fixed period because of extraordinary circumstances. My interest and responsibility for the future of th e province is paramount and sometimes must be, put ahead of my desire to respect any partieular contract. I certainly have put it ahead of my own short term political benefits. Finally, I want to object most strongly to the many who have suggested that I arn taking my position in order to "toe the line" with the dictates of the Premier. I did not run for election because I needed a job and I don't- make any decision as the representative of the constituents of Durham East which conflicts with my principle that 1 do what is night. I respect the right of constituents to disagree and i turn 1 ask you to respect my honest convictions as well. Nothing astonished people s0 much as common sense and plain dealing - Until next week - take care.
