effects of high interest rates on consumers businesses and the entire economy there should be an urgent study by the Finance Committee where the Governor of the Bank of Canada would come and the Minister of Finance Mr Minister I wont to point out to you that your high interest rate policy will slow down the economy It will mean a loss of thousands of Jobs It will mean increases in the cost of living It will probably bring the housing and construction Industry halt with thousands of jobs being lost in these sectors Believe It or not these statements were made not by members of the progressive Conservative party during the post weeks as we witnessed the Bank of Canada prime rates climb almost per cent Rather they were made in October by Herb now Minister of stry Trade and Lorn then the opposition finance critic They were when our party was in office and funds to purchase a home or to finance a business were still available at 14 per cent or less refused to respond to this crisis The government has a number of aa to how to deal with the current economic problems During its short period in office The Progressive Conservative Party went on to meet the challenge by Intro ducing a budget that would have returned purchasing power to the lower and middle Income earners We were prepared to Implement a small business policy that would meet the real needs of the vital sector of our economy We Yet today with interest rates pushing home ownership out of the reach of many and forcing others to default on mortgages that must be re financed at twice the monthly expense anticipated five years ago this same Minister and his colleagues having again formed the government and being In a position to imple ment policies that would reflect this past wisdom have turned their backs on the and hardships being rationandbusinesa Tbeyhave MP seeks energy tax rebate on fuel Halton MP Otto the Progressive Conservative party spokesman for ate affairs lost week called upon the government to Immediately introduce an Energy Tax Rebate Program to assist low and middle Income earners Mr stated In the House of Commons that Canadians are now a total of cents to the federal

empty commitment to the people of Canada There fore It is imperative that this measure be taken immediate ly to offset the effects that these energy price increases are having on those who can least afford It The federal government a share of total petroleum revenues per gallon of gaso line sold at the pumps In la 33 per cent In view of these figures Mr said there la no cation for not following through with such a rebate policy short of course of indifference About the Hills Welcome aboard McDermid says In a formal last week Brampton Georgetown MP John McDermid officially welcomed the

rebates to lower and middle income families an employment tax credit and a mortgage and property tax reduction Just over one year ago the Liberal party platform during the election campaign was based on lower Inflation lower gasoline prices and lower interest rates After the Liberals received their mandate presumably to those policies they Lead subjected Canadians to over one year of debate on the Constitution They virtually ignored the blatant signals of real economic difficulties During this oneyear period of inaction on the economy gasoline prices Increased by cents per gallon and inflation climbed from around 10 per cent to nearly 13 per cent The biggest culprit damaging the small business sector In Canada has been Interest rates which have now sky rocketed to nearly per cent prime rate That means small business pays well over that At the same time people are losing their homes business bankruptcies are on the increase and farmers are being forced from the land Our small firms are Indepen dently owned and do not have the resources to draw on for Investment purposes To finance Investment they must borrow heavily from banks and lending Institutions But at a per cent interest rate

due or to cover ever Increasing operating expens es face Interest payment double that of the original loan This added cost Inevitably creates further inflationary pressure as Increases will in turn be passed on to the consumer The other option and one that is being exercised more and more frequently Is of course bankruptcy This same scenario been repeated over and over and over again by homeowners who must push for higher wages by businesses that in making investment decisions must count on continued inflation to ensure acceptable profit margins by private individuals who have not changed their spending habits because prices will only go up In fact the percentage of business failures and personal bankruptcies has risen In the first threemonths of alono by almost per cent The Minis of Finance says that high Interest rates will reduce inflation That Is bog wash The higher the interest rates the more a businessman has to spend to finance his company He will pass along the cost of that increase in his product to the consumer the consumer will have to pay that much more and hat feeds inflation Economists do not often agree on anything but they do agree that high interest rates feed inflation Government spending is the main reason for domestically caused inflation Government spending continues to rise There is no question about that Last year this govern ment spent an estimated billion Projected costs of vices to government Increased again this year by billion The Liberal government Is spending at the rate of 000 per minute hours a day It is the Inability Ineffectiveness and obvious nonurgency of the Liberal administration which are causing the problems in our economy The Liberal governments treatment for Inflation has indeed proven to be worse than the disease Itself In
