EDITORUAL COMMENT 1House on the Air UTelevi8j0 Ciposure of the House Of COmnmons May well mean the end of Parliaulentary, democracy as- we know it," suggests, Marshall McLuhan. The communications philosopher reas- Dfls the general public will be disilus- loned by what the relentiess eye cf the TV camera discloses. It may even ex- plode theories about politicians being experts and show them as mere mor- tais with a knack for getting elected. How, for instance, wil politicians resist the influences that dniished the first hope of television as an en- lihtening and educational medium? Will they be entangled in the illusory, numerical "ratings" which now dictate television programming with littie ref- erence to taste or quality? WiIl they clamor for "prime Urne" evening ex- osure only to find themselves em- roiled in competition with Hollywood products such as "Hogan's Heroes"? They will, of course, have certain ad- vantages in competition with "give- away" shows! A new breed of political aides wil find employment in Ottawa. Political experience and acumen will rate be- low knowledge of camera angles, pro- file exposure, deportment on a "cool" Laura Secorci Warns the British medium and make-up. WiIl the Association of Canadian Television and Radio Artists demand members join as entertainers? How can a government in power be re- strained from scheduling -an off-sea- son series of carefully edited replays? Since, under the present drif t of Cana- dian television it is only a matter of time until the telecasts wilI be offered for sponsorship, will Mr. Speaker, in the manner of modern sports telecait- ing, be obliged to caîl time or make excuses for holding up debate while commercial messages are inserted? In this day and age of electronic environment, when communications cable is a possibility for linking ail parts of the country for everything from background music, radio, tele- vision, to facsîmile publication and home computers there are interesting possibîlities for sampling public opin- ion. A national "feedback" from home communication centres could be used for plebiscites on issues of the day. A small group of professional civil serv- ants 'could then institute the necessary action. Beware you members of parlia- ment! You may be eliminating your- selves much faster than you realize! Loopholes Came to Light In tbe business world payroll staffs are required to spend many extra bours in accounting to provide records for botb government and indivîdual ern- ployees. This is a burden levied on every business witbout recompense. We have argued the point that Ibis impo- sition is an invasion of civil rigbts. Both government and employee sbould be required to pay for sucb service. We bave beard rnuch grurnbling by business on this unsatisfactory condi- tion, but no specific action bas been taken in Canada to correct this evil. However, in Cornwall, England, a businessman bas done sometbing about il. Hie dismissed bis staff, then be made a contract witb eacb employee as "self..employed" persons. His action was unchallenged by the government, but bis rigbt ta contract for work ta be done was upheld by law. Today the Englisb businessman is running a one-man business. Ris asso- ciates are conducting one-man busi- nesses. Ne longer do tbey work "ta rule"; they bave eliminated ti-ne lose by unionized slow-downs; tbey bave ne restricted heurs of work . .. and wbat is more to tbe point, tbey are each rnakîng more money. The business of the firm is baoming. too. Wasle is almost eliminated by Ibis man witb vision. Buying is economic, and salesr-nanship is fantastic. Each man is living his lob at home and at work. -Cobourg Senlinel Star SUMMER 1967 1neyer see a summer camp That 1 don't wander about life As the happy days pass anc by one Amid a warhd's revels and strife.

Report from Ottawa By Russell C Honey, M .P. 1Two Committees on whicb I serve have been in the- news this week. eFrslly, the Minister of Justice, The onorable Pierre Elliott Trudeau an- ounced that. he would recommend legislation to the government whîch Would make il comrpulsory for a driver ta submit te a breathalizer test te determine the alcohol content of bis blood, when requesled tb do so by a law enforcemerit officer. The legisla- tien will probably alse establish a new offence under the Criminal Code. The new offence would declare that il is tinlawful tb operate a motor vebicle if the alcoholic content of the blood is above a certain stated level. The matter of the increasing dealh and injury on our bîghways was the subject of a lengtby study in 1966 and the eanly part of 1967 by the Legal and Justice Commitîee of the House of Commons. One aspect of Ibis study was autornobile safely and another raspect was that of the dinking driver. I entered on that Committee study believing that il would be an unjusti- fiable infringement on the civil rights of tbe individual te force bum te sub- mit te a blood test, or te find bim guilty of an offence unleas the prose cution could establisb a causal relation- ship between tbe amount of alcobol consumed and an impairment in the drivlng ability. Af ter bearing the lengtby evidence 1 was convinced, as were my col- leagues, that the increasing number of Canadians kiiled and maimed by drink- ing drivers was*sucb that il overrode the objections of an infringement of civil liberties. The Commlttee so nec- ommended and as the Minister of Jus-1 tice indicated tbis week, the report wilI shorly become law. The second Commiltee ta receive attention Ibis week was the Special Joint Senate and House of Com-nons Commiîtee on Divorce Reform. This Committee sal for aven a year and beard briefs from almost .ahi neigieus denorninations in Canada and intenest- ed gnoups such 'as the Canadian Mcdi- cal Association, the Canadian Bar Association and many others. The Com-nittee Report, wbicb the Prime Minister indicated would be deait witb by Parliament haler Ibis year rnakes sweeping changes to liber- alize aur divorce laws. You bave al- neady read the delails and 1 need not repeat theni here. The necommenda- lions are based an the unanimous evi- dence prcsented ta the Commitîce. Tbe onhy dîfference in the evidence was a malter of degree. No wilness Op- posed divorce reformn. Sanie would bave liberalized the law more tban others. Streng, powerful brief s arguing the case for very Iiberalized divorce laws were reviewed froni the United Cburch of Canada and tbe Anglican Cburch. The brief f rom the Roman Calholic Church in cffect said Ibat il would con- fine ils jurisdiclion la spiritual malters and would nol inlenfere in secular af- fairs. Il said thal divorce was contrary ta the behiefs of tbe Cburcb but the Cburcb would nol attempt bo impose ils beliefs on those of alber faitbs. Legishative progress in the areas of automobile safety and divorce ne- fanm are on the lime table for parlia- mentary actipn aler Ibis 'year. In bath t cases, the legislation wil) be based on c the careful studies carried ouI in depth by Panhîarnenlary Committees.
