In recent weeks this legislation, legislation, known as Bill C-17, was given detailed study by a House of Commons committee. committee. You perhaps heard some criticism of the committee - that it was "stacked" with government government members who didn't want tougher gun laws. As one of the government members of that committee, I can assure you those allegations were not correct. Like many of the other members, I don't consider myself myself to be particularly anti- or pro- gun control, but I wanted the best possible legislation - laws that will be workable and that can be enforced. That's what the committee accomplished. accomplished. You'll recall that earlier this year I circulated a questionnaire questionnaire about gun control to all households in Durham. We had more than 1600 responses, quite a good average for such surveys. Of those who replied, 78.5 per cent favoured more restrictive restrictive gun legislation, 90.8 per cent supported tougher screening of gun buyers, while 92.7 per cent want longer prison prison terms for crimes involving firearms. Of those who responded, responded, 37 per cent. arc gun owners. The complete results of this survey will be given in a few weeks in my next newsletter to constituents. Right now I want to thank all those who answered answered the questionnaire, and also the great many constiu- tents who took the time to write letters explaining their views and concerns. All of these were extremely helpful to me during our committee's deliberations. deliberations. The committee recommend ed some significant improvements improvements to C-17. They include raising to 18 years (from 16) to pcrmissablc age for buying firearms, and requiring photographic photographic identification for all those who apply for a Firearms Acquisition Certificate. A new FAC will now cost S50, and a renewal $25. Firearms officers will be able to investigate the personal background and stability stability of those who apply for an FAC so they can buy a gun. Like many other members, I regretted we couldn't respond to the widespread public concern concern that more severe prison sentences be imposed on those who use guns for criminal purposes purposes such as robberies. That snccific section of the Criminal Code is not part of the gun control legislation, so the committee committee wasn't authorized to change it. However the Minister of Justice did give us her assurance assurance that there will be other new legislation to increase the minimum sentence for gun- related crimes. Personally, I believe at least five years should be added to the usual prison term in such cases. I'm satisfied that the committee committee has made C-17 considerably considerably better than the original bill. As result, the safety of the general public will be increased increased significantly, with minimal minimal difficulty being created for those who own and use their firearms legitimately. to spcan oui: i camiui unuer- ana Baseline, i constaer mis an stand why our students from extremely hazardous practise, the Wavcrlcy area arc being What is wrong with the board More Trouble for Orono Residents LETTER TO THE EDITOR Driveway Problems for People Parking in Orono Dear Sir: Having just been through a very long, trying and expensive expensive session with our local council, which led to an O.M.B. hearing, I am very disturbed disturbed with what is happening at this level of government. There have ben many unanswered unanswered questions about the whole process. We did win the O.M.B. decision only to have council amend their own laws to give this business a two year reprieve regardless of anyone clsc's concerns about the safety safety of others.

I have been living in Orono for eight years. Three years ago we bought a house on Mill St., which docs not have a driveway, driveway, so we have been parking on the street. There was once a driveway off of Main St. Then the town decided to repair the street, which is great except when they did they put up guard rails across the entrance to where the driveway was. My father-in-law whom we bought the house from fought them on it but he received so much red tape lie gave it up. Well, two years ago they were doing some more repair work and one of the vehicles went through the guard rails, so we thought while they were down HERMAN' punctijrEL frf- ■jTfC w l°/*3 © 1991 Jim Unoef/Distribuled by Universal Puss Syndicale "My hands are not as steady as they used to be."

The students arc expected to walk down Spry (where in part, there are no sidewalks) and wait at the comer of Baseline Baseline ( a very busy intersection at this time of day). If it rains, the side of the road becomes a mud hole and where do you think the kids walk then - you guessed it 3 and 4 deep down the road. I travel this route each day on my route to work and when I get to the comer of Spry and Baseline I hope nobody is trying trying to make the turn onto Spry • because I have to drive down the middle of the road to avoid the kids. I consider this situation hazardous hazardous to both students and motor vehicles. I hope it doesn't take a fatality to change this practise. Concerned citizen (and parent) parent) Karen MeFeeters 27 Spry Avenue. the conviction that there arc extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people" - H Fosdick Last week, in the Ontario Legislature, the issue of the visit to Ontario by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Princess Diana, reached a new low. Incited by some reckless media, it was alleged alleged that both the Prince and the Princess had been snubbed by the NDP Government, because because the official welcome to them was to take place in Sudbury Sudbury instead of Toronto. It seems to me that some interests interests in our province arc determined determined to try and escalate confrontation between the people people and the government, under any circumstances. Whatever happened to respect for democracy, democracy, to the people's right to choose their government? It is beginning to look to me that some people will never be satisfied satisfied with anything the NDP Government docs, regardless of real merit. The truth of the matter, which seems to have been totally totally ignored, is that the Royal couple chose Sudbury for the official welcoming ceremony themselves. They stated a desire desire to become directly involved involved with as many communities communities as possible. Life doesn't always begin and end in Toronto, Toronto, cither for them, or many other Ontarians. - During the past week I met with the Minister of Natural Resources on two occasions, concerning the Orono Tree Nursery, and possible lay-offs. Resulting from our meetings was the pledge that nothing final final would be decided before a full scale meeting between ministry officials and workers at the nursery had taken place. ■Hie meeting is scheduled to take place on Thursday, October October 17th, at the nursery . On a sad note, was the resignation resignation of Zanana Akande from her post as Minister of es. During the last few months, Zanana had taken a great deal of unwarranted attacks in respect respect to her decisions as minister minister of a very difficult ministry. Last week, and before her resignation, resignation, she had told me how hurt she was over opposition barbs hurled her way, that she wasn't a caring person. Her work, to help the underprivileged underprivileged and those suffering from the recession, will answer her critics, and they will also stand up to any public scrutiny. She can take considerable comfort from that. On a happy note, it was wonderful to see the expression expression of joy on the face of Mr. William Murphy of Pontypool, as I surprised him with a Com- mcrativc Scroll from the Premier Premier of Ontario, on the occasion occasion of his 80th Birthday. Happy events, and the happiness happiness surrounding them, make my work of being your MPP, so meaningful. Until next week - take care. we would put in a culvert so we could put the driveway back in. We contacted the Town of Newcastle, they said we would have to contact the Region, so we contacted the Region where we were pushed from one person person to another. After four weeks of run around we were back to the Town of Newcastle. Newcastle. We asked about putting in a culvert so we could put the driveway back again, they told us we could but it would cost a thousand dollars for the culvert. culvert. We said we had our own culvert which we bought for one hundred dollars that we could use. We were then told that we could not do that and if we did it would be removed at our expense. Anyway, why I am complaining is because early early (1:20 a.m.) this morning, I received a $15.00 parking ticket ticket for parking in a prohibited area. After three years of parking parking there, they decide to enforce enforce the law. The church across the street from us were allowed to build on to the back of the church, but only if they tore down the house which belongs to the church to allow them to put in a thirty car parking lot. Well, they have built on to the church, the house is still standing standing and being rented 1 out and the people who come for church park in the prohibited area. The same prohibited area where we are parking and being being ticketed for. Enforce the law, but do it for everyone all the time, not every few years or when there happens to be some spare time. All we want is a driveway so we do not have to park on the street and unless the Town of Newcastle would benefit from it, it cannot be done. I am really getting tired of being told what I can and cannot do. This is supposed to be a FREE country, free for who? There is an old saying, the rich get richer richer while the poor get poorer. If we had been allowed to put the driveway back in, I would not have a parking ticket today. So, you see the Town will benefit benefit again.
