Gord Mills, MPP for Durham East said last week that the economic package announced by Premier Bob Rae is the only way the government can continue to invest in jobs, and protect services such as health care and education, 'We all need to work together to secure jobs now for the future and to keep our essential services such as health and education," Mr. Mills said. "But we can't do that unless we reduce overall government spending and control the provincial debt. This is a problem we all share - and the economic economic package is the fairest way to do that." The economic package outlined at the NDP government's caucus retreat has the following elements: - To maintain investment in jobs through jobsOntario Training, job- sOntario Capital and other programs. - To reduce the government's overall operating expenditures. This involves immediate steps to further cut costs by restructuring and reforming reforming government departments and programs. programs. - To negotiate a social contract - an agreement aimed at restructuring the public sector and reducing its costs. That includes provincial government government employees as well as broader broader public sector. - To increase government revenues revenues through a combination of tax an<j non-tax measures and asset sales. "These are difficult steps to take," said Mr. Mills. "But we have no choice. The fact is that we have a $68 billion debt because governments of Ontario - including this one - have borrowed against the future. If we just continued to add to the debt at the current rate it would rise to $120 billion in 1996. Interest payments on the debt would consume 26 cents out of every tax' dollar and billions of dollars that could have been used to invest in jobs, training or education would simply be used to pay interest on our debt." Mr. Mills explained that the NDP government will work to ensure that the entire economic package is developed developed in a way that is as fair and balanced balanced as possible^ Tax measures will not be announccd'until the upcoming budget, but work is beginning immediately immediately on ways to further cut government government spending, and meetings between between government negotiators and, representatives of public sector employers employers and employees will begin April 5. "I've got to be honest. I know . these are tough measures and I don't expect anybody to be very happy about them," said Mills. "I'm not very happy about them. But I have a ; responsibility to'the people of my rid ing and to their children and to their children's future." " This is part of the government's long-term plan to get Ontario back to work," Mr. Mills said. "We tried to protect people from the worst of the recession by spending on jobs, on services. Now we're saying we know times are tough but. we've all got to take tough measures to cut spending. and control the debt or we won't be able to sustain jobs and services." The MPP added he intends to keep working hard with employers and employees in Durham East to build new job and training opportunities. opportunities. Investment in jobs is a cornerstone cornerstone of the government's economic package, Mr. Mills said. "As Frances Lankin, Minister for Economic Development Development and Trade said this week, 'this is not about deficit reduction for its own sake.' We have to continue to invest in programs like jobsOntario. Mr. Mills pointed out that even taking into account about $1.5 billion in cost-cutting decisions the government government has already taken for the fiscal year '93-'94, Ontario would still be faced with an unacceptably high deficit deficit due to stagnant revenue. The economic economic recovery underway in Ontario cannot solve the revenue problem. Without the economic package the deficit would rise from approximately approximately $12 billion in this fiscal year, to about $17 billion in 1993-94. "We're determined to keep the deficit to below $10 billion", Mr. Mills said. "We can't let things reach the point where in the future international international capital markets refuse to lend Ontario money without imposing stringent conditions on how we spend on health care, on education or jobs." He said "The problem and the solution solution belong to all of us: the government, government, the private sector, the unions, the special interests, the public. I hope that we can rise above our own area of self-interest and do it for Ontario." Ontario."
