Citizens forum Help for victims Dear Sir demands that those who commit horrendous crimes against society be given a fair trial in a court of law ana if they are found guilty that they pay he penalty according to the laws of the land in which they committed their crimes This is normally the case but with Canadas archaic laws with the United States It hag become a case of American murderers pay Ing the penalty unless of course they make It to Canada Once in Canada these murderers are protected as though they were an endangered species We guarantee them rights even to the point of refusing to extradite Ihem unless guarantees are given that they will not be executed should they be returned and found guilty of the Crimea for which hey are accused This harboring of criminals by Canada Is not only morally tlonable but on an international level it is against Resolution of the United Nations adopted Nov 29 This Declaration states that member States should cooperate with Other States through mutual Judicial and administrative assistance In such matters as the detection and pursuit of offender All Canadians have an Interest in his issue since he lives of all Cana dians are being endangered

STORE recently at Mall in nor them Metropolitan Toronto There is nothing for sate at the store it offers Ontario electricity consumers a place to get Informa tlon on energy efficiency Our challenge is to help people understand he benefits of using or electricity resources wisely more efficiently said when opening the store Thats the single most important purpose behind Your Hydro Store There is an area for children to play and learn about electrical safe ty while parents consult with the store staff arid customers of metro Toronto area electric utilities can pay their electricity bills NEW ELECTRICITY GENERATION Another private electricity generator is now connected to On Hydros transmission system and supplying electricity to customers A kilowatt hydro electric generator at the Fleming

YOUR HOME AUTOMOTIVE RECORDS TAPES CDs Silt Struct hi Hi Inn Ottawa I Stewart MacLeod I Thornton One of Prime Minister Brian Mulroneys more Inspired ideas following the Nov 21 election was to delay a fullscale restructuring of his cabinet until after the current freetrade Parliament has ad Instead of appointing six new ministers to replace those defeated In he election he simply had other ministers take on their respon sibilities This gives the prime minister a month or so to rejig his cabinet And rejig It he should down to a more reasonable and manageable size The massive member cabinet the prime minister put together following ihe election never did make sense except as a makework project for the biggest caucus ever elected to Parliament But even 40 cabinet poets didnt go for among a Illmember caucus Now with the Tory caucus down to 170 members there can be absolute ly no argument for maintaining the largest cabinet in Canadian history No other country has such a ratio of cabinet members to population Britain manages with or so And while he United States system far different from ours there are only 13 to 15 American cabinet members at any given time It means that the entire cabinet con meet and discuss Important Issues without the use of microphones The full Canadian cabinet seldom meets I think we ail got together for a picture In IBM says one minister but thats the only time I can recall all of us being In lie same room POWER STRUGGLE Instead the cabinet Is broken down Into a number of committees he most powerful traditionally be ing Priorities and Planning which is usually chaired by the prime minister himself Now Opera tions committee Is considered even more powerful And lust as backbench MPs lust to be parliamentary secretaries sort of elected assistants to ministers and just as parliamentary secretaries lust to be in cabinet so do cabinet ministers lust for key committees It reveals who Is In fluential and who Isnt It really doesnt make things easier for the prime minister The more Jobs available the greater the expectations and the greater he disappointments And then here is the greater risk of ministerial foul- ups from stupidity to scandals Its pretty difficult to have ministers and parliamentary secretaries speaking on behalf of the government without a heavy dose of contradictions and confusions It would be nice o have a dollar for every time the prime minister has had o explain hat the minister was not speaking on behalf of the government when Tie said that Mr Mulroney Is known to favor a smaller cabinet but once It was allowed to bloat It Isnt easy to trim the fat Were not dealing with individuals There are many con slderatlons In cabinet making in eluding regional balances religious ethnic reprcsentatiiin French English left wing right wing and malefemale To make matters even more dif ficult it is virtually impossible to drop an existing minister without destroying his or her career Its public humiliation at lis political AN The Nov election has given Mr Mulroney his best opportunity yet to trim his cabinet But even the defeat of six ministers doesnt make the job a pushover Its existing minister can have a 34mcmbcr cabinet without one public ex ecu lion But thats not quite ttc way things are For Instance the defeat of two Maritime ministers Tom from Prince Edward Island and Stewart Mclnnes from Nova Scotia means there must be new representation from the Allan And everyone seems to agree that British Columbia now doesnt have the clout It deserves in cabinet not since John left cabinet and Pat Carney left politics And then there is he sex factor In he last Parliament when 27 women were elected of them were Tories and the prime minister appointed six to his cabinet But two of them are no longer there Apart from Miss Carneys retirement former com lions minister Flora Mac Donald was defeated The prime minister despite losing seats from 1964 now has women in his caucus And Ihis Is clearly the time to turn back the clock on female representation In cabinet Many ore actually looking for a healthy increase With one thing and another cabinet chopping Is still no easy chore But It will never become easier so the prime minister should become a bit ruthless over the Christmas season and with pro found personal apologies to dear departed reduce his ministry by at least 10 Its ludicrous thai a country with people needs a minister agriculture a minister of stole agriculture and then a minister for Si rains and oilseeds Absolutely Main Slreat South Down I own
