budget in during the Throne Speech debate It was on underhanded way of do ing it and a irresponsible move It gives the ition parties no Ity to comment Jellnek complained in an inter view this week He asked how a res ponsible government could bring in half a bud get the part that hurts consumers and business tnrough higher taxes on liquor cigarettes and corporate taxes but does nothing to reduce government spending says that in light of the fact the tax hikes Finance Minister Allan MacEachean ought are identical to the penny as those pro posed in the previous Conservative govern ment budget he ob viously agrees with the increases However he finds fault with the mini budget since it doesn I cut government spend ing The only tax hike the Liberals didnt bring last week was the IB cent a gallon gas excise tax It would be if and his Tory colleagues felt vindicated by the Grits mini budget since it is so similar to the Conservative budget but all he really feels Is con about the direction the Liberals are taking the economy He is worried about the projected billion in crease in the deficit that the Liberals are now say they expect Jelinek notes Ihe Tory plan would have reduced the deficit by billion this year Its another Liberal flipflop on their election promises the Con servo live Corporate Affairs critic says MP pointed to the Liberal election pledge not to allow government spending to grow more than the growth of the GNP The Liberals admitted them selves last week noted there will be virtually no economic growth this year In Can so how can they al low the deficit to swell by S3 billion more This is the time to re duce government spend Ing The deficit is a major reason for domestic inflation Excess govern spending causes inflation he said As for when a full bud get comes down Jelinek answers who knows Now that the Liberals have their majority they are Just Ignor ing public opinion and the opposition parties and doing whatever they want They are forging ahead unilaterally with out any regard for the consequences achilles motors Your Complete Line Now On Display GLC626RX7 PICKUP SALES and SERVICE 347 Straat Acton Teacher transfers In Acton and
