Mrs. Beaupre was a recent winner of a four day trip for two to Nassau when her name was drawn in a contest. National Trust, as part of their summer jubilee campaign, held the contests at all of their branches for new and existing customers. On August 14 Mayor Marie Hubbard drew the winning winning name. With Mrs. Beaupre is Tom Little, manager of the Bowmanville branch of National Trust. 1 have your notice dated August 1 and my concern is to discover whether or not the Committee intends to view the Ganaraska as a particular case or as a pilot project for discovering certain certain broad principles and corresponding corrective or protective measures. May I recall to the Committee Committee the intent of the original original report (1944): "...the Ganaraska Watershed Watershed area is small, but it's importance is greater than its size. The area was deliberately chosen from the older settlement areas of Eastern Canada to demonstrate demonstrate what intensive surveys surveys and plans for future work should aim at. It was undertaken not as a routine or maintenance survey, but as a much needed piece of research in Canadian con- servational procedure...it thus provides an opportuni- age of iueen's ty to review and improve the technique of conservation survey s..."(p. vi.) ' npo prove on the lang Principal Wallace of just quoted. And it follows, my concern concern in the present hearings is that the Ganaraska not be downgraded from its preeminent preeminent role to just another "routine or maintenance survey". survey". The Committee should upgrade its support services to the point where the present hearings present an investigation at the Gana- raska's traditional level of national significance. You can be assured that in the Committee's efforts to keep the Ganaraska on the cutting edge of environmental environmental research and policy, you will have my entire support.

S., Oshawa 434-3939 Il Para Paints Durham MP Ross Stevenson warns that Canada will be in big trouble if it fails to pay off its debt. "If we can't pay today for the past and present, when the baby boomers hit 65 we will be in trouble," said Mr. Stevenson. He was in Bowmanville on Thursday, Thursday, Sept. 7th, to attend the Rotary Club luncheon and hear reports of how the Bowmanville club (with help from the federal government) had assisted in constructing a well for a village in India. j Mr. Stevenson said in an interview after the luncheon that by the time the baby boomers reach retirement age, "the country will rattle because there will be fewer people in the workforce and more people demanding old age pensions and other benefits. The money money has to come from somewhere, so we have to raise tire tax money to cover the health care pensions today." Durham's. Ï^P explains that the government, government, although accused of wasting money, in reality spends the money "to pay for programs .instituted by past governments." The programs were started, but the money to fund them was never collected. , : 'The federal government is merely a cheque-signer. Mr. Stevenson says, 'The provinces tell us what they need to run their province for a year and the government signs the cheque." "The federal government gets only 16% of the total billions in tax dollars dollars collected to pay for salaries, overhead overhead and operation and the upkeep of federal buildings. The rest is divvied up as follows: 30% is spent on federally federally sponsored programs, pensions, spousal allowances, health care, etc.; 24% goes to the provinces for health care, post secondary education, and welfare programs among others; 11% goes to defence (This pays for modernization modernization of the forces, maintenance and salaries); 11% is spent on government subsidies for farmers, businesses and fisheries; 3% goes to foreign aid; 4% goes to federal transfers to Crown Corporations Corporations such as CMHC. CBC and VIA Rail. A total of $170 million comes to Durham Region every year from the federal level. "Virtually all money the government spends is spent on government government programs." says Mr. Stevenson. "The people ask and the government spends. There are so many government government programs available to people at present and they are very difficult to change or redress so the money has to come from somewhere." "We must find a way to meet thé debt today or else in 15 years the country will be in big trouble," he says, "Because of our low birth-rate, more immigration will be allowed to balance the loss of people in the workforce in years to come. Canada's face is changing changing - and will continue to change." Mr. Stevenson predicts He points out that government spending on overhead and operations was less in 1989 than in 1984. 'Very few households can make that claim."
