BramptonGeorgetown The Nov 12 MacEachen budget Is dismally inappropr iate for our current economic situation The Liberals are up to their old tricks again Having put the Canadian econ omy on the ropes through negligence and thoughtless po licies they now ask Canadians to bear the brunt of sacrifices they themselves dont have the courage to make While finance minister Allan MacEachen calling for rest raint on the part of taxpayers and consumers government spending is going to increase by percent this year The deficit between what the gov ernment has been collecting in revenues and what It has been spending Is remaining high at billion higher than fore cast and It will be reduced only marginally next year because taxes on individuals and job creating businesses will increase significant Wages have fallen behind inflation for the past four years This year alone the Consumer Price Index stands at 117 percent higher than last year in October And yet MacEachen has chosen this budget to tax benefits which people receive from their emp loyers as part of their income JOHN McDERMID to protect them from unfore seen expenses and rising costs This measure alone shows that this is not a budget which takes from the rich and gives to the poor It takes from the average working Canadian to give to the poor unfortunate Canadian who has been crip pled by the Liberals high Acid rain report seeks new controls Federation of Ontario I unlit t We must act quickly to control the sources of acid rain both in Canada and the S Thats the thrust of a significant new federal report called Still Waters The Chill- lng Reality of Acid Rain At first glance Still Waters looks like It might have been produced by a commercial publisher lots of color photos maps and charts and bold graphics to liven the text But in fact it Is the report of a Parliamentary Subcommittee including representatives of three federal parties who toured the country to gather evidence on acid rain Their findings present not only a comprehensive summary of what we know about the environmental problem of the 1980s but also an agenda for action towards a solution Parliamentary committees arc generally composed of cautious men and their reports typically are notori ously cautious Still Waters doesnt tit that mold It concludes that both provincial and federal environment departments have acted reluctantly and cautiously In the past to reduce acid form ing emissions and that much more aggressive steps are needed While the report agrees with the need for stronger action south of the border through an air polluti on treaty and every other means possible It alio takes deadly aim at our own failure to act here In Canada Its recommendations are sweeping Best available tech nology which generally means scrubbers for all Ontario Hydro coal burning plants The same controls for any new coal burning plants such as those planned in the Maritime to reduce oil Imports A lid of tons per day on from the INTO smelters New limits for and other smelters A target of no Increase in emissions from the Tar Sands developments in Alberta Better emission standards for nitrogen oxides cars Still Waters Is not law and the federal and provincial reliable standard against which to measure the performance of both govern merits on acid rain It should be required reading for every Canadian If you want a copy interest rates and energy tax es Even in this the budget is dismally inadequate Only the very very few will be helped This budget has gutted he Small Business Development Bond It will now be extended only to businesses and farms In trouble This instrument which was meant to help small businesses and incorporated farms to expand during high interest rate periods Is conver ted into a very modest rescue instrument which Is extended to unincorporated farmers but will not do them no good Two tax measures which are touted as closing loopholes for the rich are actually going to discourage people from saving for retirement Now that interest on borrowing to buy RRSPs and other savings Instruments is no longer de ductible fewer people will be able to afford to save for retirement above and beyond any pension plans they have with their employers More over the fact that only a limited amount of retirement allowance can be put into a RRSP will reduce retirement income for people These mea sures arc petty and will be harmful to the generation of savings In Canada New citizens of Canada who wish to send support money home to their parents or dependent relatives will no longer enjoy tax deductions This privilege is now restricted to spouses and children Since more often than not an Immig rant does not take up citizen ship unless his or her spouse is here this measure will mean a reduced standard of living for countless relatives of Canad ians left at home It certainly will not make the new Canad Ions feel happy with their new country as well as create hardship in many countries in the world The whole budget Is wrapped In the Inspiring theme of economic development And yet apart from deferring and decreasing the Western budget to show the need to Increase taxes so significantly to spend on development Asa matter of fact development funds are down for 1361 Unless one is to consider a person earning as rich contact the office of your tax Increases contained in this federal Member of budget will hit the average and ask them to add Canadian It Is false to claim your name to the distribution that most Canadians will bene- for Still Waters fit from decreases
