GHEE® LAWN; SPRAY Cureatz supports Auto task force 1 mentioned in a recent column column that I was looking forward forward to the release of the federal task force report on an automotive strategy for Canada, This report has now been published and I have read the recommendations with interest. The report proposes that all vehicle manufacturers who sell vehicles in the Canadian Canadian market be required by 1987 to have at least 60% Canadian content in those products sold here. In other • words, Japanese and European European automakers would be bound by the same conditions conditions that the U.S. automakers are under the North American Auto Pact. Such a move would mean , production of parts and even vehicle assembly in Canada thereby creating an estimated 21,000 jobs and adding some $870 rhillion to the Canadian economy. In return for the 60% requirement, off-shore automakers would be allowed duty-free access to the Canadian Canadian market, as U.S. producers producers are under the Auto Pact, I think the task force's recommendations represent a rational response to the dilemma in which the Canadian Canadian auto industry finds itself. We obviously cannot exclude all foreign competition competition and so a compromise is needed. Having off-shore automakers participate in the industry here as the U.S. producers producers do, seems a logical solution.. Recently 1 met with officers officers of the Oshawa & District Real Estate Board. Their President, Blair Buchanan and Dave Tonkin, > Chairman of the Property Rights 1 Department came to ,see me because, like many oilier members of the real estate profession, they would like to see property rights included included in the Canadian Constitution. Constitution. They feel that the right to hold property is simply a • recognition of our history and legal traditions in Canada. In fact, many people feel'that the right to property goes hand in hand with the Letter to "Thinking Taxpayers" To the Mayor and Council of the Town of Newcastle, The Newcastle Northumberland Board of- Education and all of the Thinking Taxpayers in this Area. The Federal Government of Canada and the Provincial Government of Ontario has, due to the present economic conditions in this Country,' set down guide lines of six and five percent increases to costs. These two bodies of * Government are right - to survive we as Canadians have to hold the line. The Town and Region have, but the Newcastle Nnr- hu m ber I and Board of * ducat ion has not as yet reached 1983 and is asking us for an increase of 15% in spite of all other levels of Government. Nrfte: School Taxes up 15% -- Enrollment down 5% equates to a 22% increase in taxes per student. We have a Council in Newcastle who will not "rock . the boat" and take a stand and refuse to collect taxes for the School Board in excess of ■ 6%. It's now up to the individual individual taxpayer. I for one am not willing to accept any tax bill which reflects any increase over 6% on my school taxes. 1 also will not consider my taxes being in arrears for. any such increase increase and am prepared to take action under' the new Canadian Constitution and Charter of Rights to prevent such discrijninaiion. Sincerely, Lorraine Lover , Newcastle, Omari* right to personal liberty and the basic personal freedoms we take for granted. During the constitutional negotiations of 1980, Ontario strongly supported the inclusion inclusion of property rights in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A draft of the Charter included such a reference but in August of that year, this reference was removed in response to concerns concerns from some of the provinces, provinces, primarily Saskatchewan Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island, who felt that such a provision could adversely affect affect their existing legislation respecting land ownership. For example, Prince Edward Edward Island believes its ability to regulate the sale of farmland and shoreline to out-of-province owners could be hindered. The issue of property rights was therefore set aside in the pursuit of a broader consensus consensus among the provinces on such fundamental issues as patriation, an amending formula formula and the Charter of "(tights and Freedoms. Recently, however, the property property rights issue surfaced again when British Columbia's Columbia's legislature unanimously passed a resolution on property property rights entrenchment. Oil April'21, Premier Davis 'announced 'that Ontario would be introducing a similar resolution. But it will lake more than Ontario and B.C.'s support. Under the rules for amending the con- ' si it ution, an amendment must receive the approval of the federal parliament as well as the legislatures of any seven provinces representing at least 50 percent of the country's population.

At long last, it was a pleasure to attend the official opening of the Michael Starr Building in Oshawa by Premier Davis on June 1st.
