Halton Regional Police Force in No one pays attention to Liberal opposition Ottawa Report Stewart Mac has keeping us so mesmerized with an almost comic assortment of ques activities that no one is pay ins any attention the Opposition Liberals And perhaps for the ember Grit caucus that just as well For a party comfortably ahead In the opinion polls and which might well form the next It not really the happiest and healthiest of lions certainly isnt the richest There arc those who say It I really mailer at poinl the government displaying an astonishing tendency toward destruction and most of its cm being exposed in the media the Liberals arc not being subjected tonormol scrutiny But there are concerns within the a lot of them Should Prime Ester Mulroney manage to turn things around and lift the Tories to higher ground there ore serious questions about the ability of the to respond to the challenge Even the phschologlcnl of last Novembers national convention seems lo be Hipping NO ENTHUSIASM While Party Leader John Turner was given an overwhelming vole of confidence at that it I entirely eliminated internal about his leadership And certainly done much to eliminate the party massive IS- million debt Money is a real problem for liberals And if an election were held now they would hove great flail ly In mounting a national cam polgn Considering Iheir popularity in polls this seems when consider that Tories despite their unpopular tyare loaded with cash Of course money comes much easier to parties In power and the Liberals have very little experience raising funds while out of power The Conservatives on the other have decades of expertise The recent resignation of Senator Leo Kolber as the chief fund raiser Is not likely to help mat tTs The Montreal senator had been making significant progress with corporate donors And perceived reasons fur his departurcyou are of fcred a choice herearc not likely to While the senator is not saying much there are many insiders who think Mr Turners leadership Is factor One widely held view is that Senator Kolber quit when his ass Is tanl Herb Melcalf suddenly resign because of indications he was about to be fired by Mr Turner There is no question thai the senators departure Involves some undercurrents ANOTHER VERSION The other version perhaps they ore both valid is hat Senator Kolber stepped down because Marcel was elected chairman of the Liberal caucus succeeding Sudbury Doug Frith Mr Prud horn me a year porHamentary veteran is a stout of the Palestine Libcrollon Organization Senator Kolber Is Jewish He had told caucus thai election of Mr homme could alienate sup porters from the Jewish Communi Most Liberals are understandably eager lo downplay Mr Prud s sympathy lor FLO and Id say lhat Senator departure had nothing to do wilh the new caucus chairman But by quitting as fund raiser within hours of the election senator djdn exactly bend over backwards to separate the two The Liberal caucus has never en the PLO and Mr Turner was quick to say lhat Mr homnu now knows he will reflect the col led view of caucus So far as the public is concerned the chairman of caucus is a very low profile position And in fact it carries little influence in policy mat tcrs Bui insiders arc aware that the publicity surrounding Ihis el eel Ion coupled Senator Kolber a departure could easily be blown out of proportion If It docsn t seriously Impair critical cash it certainly won t help And neither has lion helped general caucus morale It bad been a very close contest Del ween Mr Hamilton s Sheila Of course no one has been paying much attention ThcTories much their own dismay steadfastly to share the limelight Toronto Currently there Is before the Legislature a bill a liallaw The question here concerns what Is to be done about It The answer should be known sometime in the next weeks These weeks are what is called between sessions time when the Legislature self isn silling but lis various committees are One of the committees is consider Bill 151 an act provide for pay equity in the private sector and in government owned corporations and agencies That bill is the companion piece to Bill ids an act to provide pay equity In the Ontario civil service Iscff And that a where the question of legality comes in The Liberals initially separated service pay equity from pay equity elsewhere back in 1965 Pay equity of course compares pay in occupations dominated by women to wages and salaries in other jobs dominated by men within a single company or organization Pay would increase the salaries of the femaledomino led jobs to where they become com parable to wages from mole- dominated The civil service example moat often cited by reporters contrasts the pay of outdoor parking at ten dants male to Ihe Income of lower paid telephone switchboard operators mainly female This salary difference Is con wrong although no one ever actually explains why the jobs deserve identical pay Unlike paying men and women the same amount ihe same or similar work something lhat already la law and easy to judge pay equity relies on subjective about values of the jobs being compared Anyway pay in Ontario is as inevitable as taxes All three old tine political parties Liberals PCs NDPi favor It But the Liberals being the govern ment and therefore responsible for what they enact want to stage plemenlatian First would be Bill 105 for the civil service then Bill IM lo cover everyone else Because civil servants already arc pigeonholed lo a degree thai would horrify most prlvale sector employers II is relatively easy to classify ihem in of pay equity loo But the opposition Conservatives and New Democrats thought the Grits were fudging on ihdr commit to pay equity So last year they ganged up and rewrote Bill 105 to make it apply to tin whole public They did this oven though commit lee chairman Andy Brandt ruled the motion out of order Ah yes trie Joys of minority
