2. Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, March 17, 1982 Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication Mi in Street, Orono Roy C.Forrester, Edtor IT'S HERE TO STAY Al the fight in the World wîll flot stop the completion to metric conversion in Canada which is now well on its way. In fact there are some advantages in now completing the work which was started in the mid 1970s. It is a simple measure and one now used by 95 percent of the world's population. Even the autornotive i ndustry in the 'United States have gone metric with their world car in order that they can compete in foreign markets. This was made on the part of the industry itself even though the United States goverfiment has been dragging its fret. Not so long ago a great cry went up when speed lirnits and distances were changed from miles and miles per heur to kilometers and kilometers per hour. A little time and it's "old hat" now. If one looks back into history it was in the 1960s that Cana- dian organization began to petition the federal government for metric to be followed by the Canadiax-Teachers' Fedieration, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, th. Canadian Construc- tion Association and as well the Canadian Hospital Associa- tion, to mention a few. Ail ten provincial governiments have approved metric back in 1971 and as well ail political parties in the House'of Cern- monts. The educational system in measurments and weights is now taught in metric. How could anyone expect the dlock to be turned back. The cost to this date has been trernendous and reverting back would be a waste. No doubt rnuch of the criticismn is the Federal Gevernrnent or Trudeau bashing as they are accused of shoving metric down our throats. If is quite apparent there has been a lot of support to in- troduce rnetric and ail forms of goverfiments and Associations in Canada. A waste of tirne to continue te bash. PARTIES IN A DEADLOCK .For two weeks the Liberals andthe Progressive Conser- vatives have failed te reach an agreernent over the resumption of work in the House of Commons. Parliarnent sits idie with the Conservatives refusing to answer the call of the bell to vote on their own resolution. The Tories object te the Energy Bill which was introduced in June of 1981 and about to corne before the house for discus- sion. They dlaim it is too all-incornpassing and seek te have the bill split. They contend a loss of dernocratic rights for proper debate. The Lîberals have agreed to splitting the bill but want a limit of time for debate if the bill is split. They aIse cali for the Tories to take their seat to discuss the handling of the bill. in the meantirne the boycott of the House of Commons con- tinues with ne end in sight. It does appear that opposition goes far beyond the Energy Biii with a forrn of resentment between the parties in parlia- ment. This does nothing other than impede good government. Certainly one has te agree that rnuch is down without House of Commons debate. This does happen threughout our systems of governments with a prime example being the expert- diture of $ 625 million by Bill Davis for the purchase of shares in Suncor without even members of his own party being aware of the action. No doubt such aIse happens in Ottawa and it mpust bc frustrating te the opposition and indeed undemocratic. But there mnust also be sorne control over debate and the tirne alotted. The Tories in Ottawa would drag and drag an-d debate on an issue must corne te an end. Read Hansard and much that is said is irrelevan and a waste of tirne. We do contend that a opposition party should flot be in a position to close eut the House of Commons as the Conser- vatives have done in Ottawa ne matter how frustrating it rnay be for them. The electors of Canada did place the Liberals in power and in the position te form the governiment. It must be toesame electors that make the decisiens whe centrols Parliament and the House. That epportunity cernes through in the next election. Nothing is being gained for Canada with the present im- passe. it should flot be tolerated. [ utppniîî :ng%..
