Durham's 'Momber of Parliament stressed that unity among Canada's pro- vinces is perhaps one of the biggest challeng- es his majority Liberal government faces this term in office. | "National unity is more important than some of us realize," he told the Star last Wednesday evening. "We must be ready to deal with (Quebec Premier Lucien) Bouchard, you can be sure he's getting ready, sowe have to be." Closer to home, Mr, Shepherd has no kind words for the Harris government's sweeping changes in Ontario "What he (Mike Harris) is doing i in 3 provinee is only widening the gap between Ontario and the federal government. You cannot make changes like the downloading of welfare or healthcare onto municipal gov- ernments without a guarantee of some con- sistency in the level of service that will be provided. We haven't even managed to get health care on an equal level at a ation] the Enniskillin Conservation Area. level yet. He's jumping the gun. "Some of the policies of the Harris govern- ment do as much to foster disunity as the policies of the Quebec government. We need to start talking about what unifies Canadians, not what divides us," Mr. Shepherd said. = The federal MP was among several pro- minent area Liberals attending the Durham East Liberals annual barbecue on Aug. 6 at CAPTAIN GEORGE FISH & CHIPS 161 Queen Street, Port Perry 985-1022 DROP BY FOR THE BEST FISH & CHIPS IN TOWN!
