Consumer Confidence Neyer Lower Because of Federal Budget: Miler The Ontario LegisIature resumed deb)ates lToont Marcb 9, wlt[h The Speech from the Throne. lit au lîtter- view with Bob Kennedy, Treasurer Frank Miller sug9- gests his upcorning budget rnay contaiu neither thie relief some taxpayers hope for, nor a lot of surprises., Kennedy: We're lu a re- cession that doesn't want to go away and there's even talk of a depression ou the horizon. Miler: WelI, the econorlsts- tel me the odds are 70 per cent for improvement. That, of course, means a30 percent chance of the economy get- tmng worse or staying stagnant. 'rn accepting the consensus that tbings are goîng to get better, although much of this wifl depend ou wbmetber we have confidence in the future. Kennedy: Confidence in ýthe econorny from a national level certainly bas dwudled lu the recent months. ,Miler: Sure, because people are losiug their jobs. The dol- lar drops. Interest rates go up. Whatever signal-they get frôm the economy is interpreted as rneaning, "Hey, I better put off until tomorrow the dcci- sio to buy sometbing"ad funuiily enough, that acceler- ates the pýrobllemi.

A lot of popeout there would like to buy, som)ething. Cars are older th)an average, people bave beeni putting off appliance and furuiture pur- chases. So tbere's a peut-up demand. The question is, how do we trigger it? Kennedy: Do you tbink Ottawa could bave doue a better job establishing more confidence? Miller: 1It could n't bave doue a woi-rse job. The major effeet of thie Noveiber Lbudget mas Iac-k of conifidencve. WXe've seen a fligbt of cap)ital and a drop in consumner confidence unparal- leled lu Canýiiain istory.

Muiler: Perhaps not directly. What %we are doing is worklng on ways of increasing, say, the value of crops lun Ontario. We have just annoujnced, for ex- amplde, a food processing and agriculture facility lu the Chathamn area under BILD. That sbould make farmn equip- ment more efficient becauîse work will be doue on design and, also, make food process- ing more efficient lu Canada. This s;Iouiid reduce a lot of inports fromn abroad, and allow fariners lu OntariioPtoosel1 cash crops for hiigher prices. The Cbathamn project is just one of miany technology centres we've announced un- der the BILD program. A-nother is an auto-parts îechnology centre near St. Catharmnes where Ontaro's miany small- to medium-sized p)arts pro- ducers can get up-to-date adice ou uew tech)nolog, ou new ways of mnaking the same- parts cost less, to comkpete direc-tly with people like tue Japanese whio've becomne very e-fficien1t.
