2. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, Jenuery 11, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN tome "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" NOTES The Hon. J, W. Spooner, Ontario's Minister of Municipal irs, is an impressive speaker. ©"When he turned up Monday at the annual Civic Day din- ir of the Oshawa Rotary Club, he spoke with clarity and tion on a subject that gets more publicity each day -- ict of Interest in Municipal Politics. As would be ordinarily expected under the circum- stances, Mr. Spooner stoutly defended Ontario's laws and the policies of his Govern- ment under this category; in so doing, he marshalled an impressive number of facts (presented In capsule, dramatic form) even if he didn't sound convincing at all times, He said: Rotary ('being the princi- pal organization of its kind") should interest itself to a much greater degree with what he termed "'the daily battle to preserve our democ- ratic institutions -- institu- tions suffering as much un- der the rot of apathy as un- der the pressure from out- side. ideologies." via ctaiiisoats More than 50 percent of the people of Ontario don't seem to care how they are gov- ermed at the municipal level or by whom -- in Kingston, 5l-percent of the eligible voters cast a ballot last December; in) Belleville, only 39 percent (37 percent the previous year), Toronto had a 43 percent vote last December; Oshawa 47. fm PERSONAL INTEGRITY MOST VITAL ASSET "Research and education" are the key tools in adminis- tration (civic and otherwise), but they are useless, even dan- gerous -- without the personal integrity which alone can spell success, regardless of political color or creed. * Mr. Spooner discussed the type and extent of legislation necessary, or desirable, to deal with conflict of interest at the municipal level. He said criticism of the Ontario Legis- lature's provisions regarding it concentrated on three points: 1 -- Disqualification, provisions are neither stringent nor extensive enough to prevent abuse of the public trust. 2 -- These provisions are not set out clearly and speci- fically enough to give a clear answer to any given situation. 3-- The method of unseating a disqualified municipal representative is less than satisfactory inasmuch as the onus for initiating ouster proceedings is put upon the ratepayer via the courts with the consequent time and cost involved in such an action. Mr. Spooner was impressive in his defense of the Gov- ernment's stand in regard to the first two items, but not so on the third. This department is of the opinion that the Attorney- General, or some other enforcement officer of the Crown, should be responsible for unseating municipal representa- fives guilty of improper conduct. It is enough for Mr, Spooner to say that "'the sections covering this situation are in the Municipal Act?" BE SURE TO DIFFERENTIATE True, we should clearly differentiate between corrupt practices which are criminal acts, and those acts which bring disqualification upon the perpetrator ('For criminal acts, of course, the Government will forthwith prosecute such persons under the Criminal Code.") a CLAMOR WIGS FOR SMALL FRY VICTORIA (CP) -- Gen, Charles Foulkes denied Thurs- day that he has disclosed con- fidential information regarding ;| Canada's NATO role; but called for a halt to the controversy over nuclear weapons, "It's time we stopped this nonsense,' he said in an inter. view from his home here, Gen, Foulkes, former chair: man of the Canadian chiefs of staff committee, said he has hever attended a cabinet meet- about Canada's role in NATO came from a briefing of the cabinet and himself by Gen Lauris Norstad, then NATO commander, on the implications of the North Atlantic treaty. That was "quite a different thing" from a cabinet meeting, he said, 'T haven't made any dis. closure of any discussion in cabinet, ing.

Brazilian} The disease described by When disqualification is required, the Government should act and not stand idly on the sidelines waiting for the people te take proceedings -- such evasive measures have brought Much-deserved criticism on Queen's Park in the past. To get back to Mr. Spooner's claim that "such proceed- are quite simple." He gives these procedure directions: The ratepayer or elector simply goes before a judge of the County or district court and by affidavit shows reason- able ground for supposing that.a councillor has forfeited his séat or become disqualified. The judge then gives his fiat @uthorizing the ratepayer to bring a notice of motion before fim, stating the grounds for disqualification. The notice of motion is served and the procedure on the hearing before the judge is summary. Where it is determined that the coun- cillor has become disqualified, the judge shall. order his re- foval from office. The ratepayers' costs will be ordered paid by the guilty member of Council. WHY SHOULDN'T GOVERNMENT ACT? Mr. Spooner's argument is not too strong when he says there is no power in the Attorney-General to unseat coun- cillors disqualified under the Municipal Act, also that it is undesirable that amending legislation be enacted to give the A-G such power. "To do so would be to again interfere with the autonomy Of local governments," explained Mr. Spooner. 'A long fight for local self-government was only won after bitter struggle, and the cornerstone of 'municipal legislation in Ontario, the Baldwin Act, sturdily recognizes this principle." Why such aloofness from Queen's Park on a matter that hits directly at the roots of government at the local level ? $n one breath Mr. Spooner emphasizes that more than 50 Percent of the electorate is apathetic; in the next he sug- gests a small group should take legal action if and when an elected representative strays from the straight and narrow din a "non-criminal" way.) . He continued: Under Section 320 of the Municipal Act a commission of inquiry can be set up to probe a municipality's affairs. There fe the compulsory filing of audit reports and finally, under ection 1 of the Department of Municipal Affairs Act, the fhinister may upon his own initiative or at the request of the Gouncil or upon a petition of 50 electors, cause an audit to be made of the affairs of a municipality, After such full in- vestigation as thus provided, if it appears that municipal fepresentatives have acted improperly, then the electors in the municipality can institute ouster proceedings. * Despite these criticisms (and we sincerely believe that the Provincial government should be more aggressive about instituting proceedings as above indicated), Mr. Spooner is ne of the top speakers on the subject of Municipal Politics poday. He did much to make the Civic Day dinner a. bang- @p success. He should be invited back to Oshawa more often. "FALSE ALARM" STIRS UP CHAMBER STAFF € General-Manager Douglas Fisher of the Oshawa C of C and his office staff had a scare Tuesday afternoon. City firemen rushed into the new Chamber quarters (at 98 Simcoe street south) looking desperately for a blaze about 3 p.m., but none could be found. « .When order had been restored, the reason for the excite- ment was found -- a crew of workmen renovating the build- ing for the Chamber's new antique auto museum accidentally punched in the wires of the fire alarm system.
