Thanks again Kay Gustar Prolmises, promises: made to be broken By MWichael Wycks No politician likes 10 be faced with a tough political decision. The odds are, once the decision is made, a significant- number of people won't ike it; that's a, polilicai reality. So when the rare situation arises where there is unanimous agree- ment amongst ail concerned citizens, politicians have the easy task of simpiy following lhrough on their ishes. It's a shame our federal governmienl can'l even gel that righl. In ils backhanded forma of consultation, the governmnenl asked for and ignored tIhe opin- ions of business and labour groups, as well as its owni Unem- ployment Insurance Commis- sion, and recently levied a 6 per cent hike in U.I.C. premiums, effective January 1, 1992. This, on top of a 24 per cent jump in premniums on July 1 ofîthis year. That muakes for a punrishing- hike of 30 per cent, all wilhin a span of six mnonlhs, and wiil bring an emnployee's contribution 10 $3 for every $100 of insurable earn- ings with emiployers paying out about $4.15 for every $100. Criticism 10 the proposed premiumn hike was fast and furi- ous. For example, in a leller 10 federal minister of empioyment and immigration, Bernard Va- court, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business cailed the goverrnmenl's approval of the premium inicrease, "in the face of unanimous advice fromi business and labor, a mnockery of the consultation process." More importanlly, says CFIB vice president anid genieral mnan- ager, Iimi Benneil, this miove wvill coslý jobs. "This igover-inmenî obviousiy has no sense of what Illeir mis- guided policies are costing Ithe business communit,"- Bennett says. "The U.I. increcase pr oves Ihat if Ihe government is looking for ways te prolong the reces- sion and drive more people onto the uinemploymentl ines, Iheir stralegy is working. But if emer- gence from Ibis recession and a healthy economny is their goal, they're way off base. " The facts, Bennett says, speak for themiselves. "The governmrent transferred al responsibiliîy for funding U. to em-ployers and employees back in October, 1990. Since Ihen, it bas effectively acted as banker, collecting premniumns îhrough taxes and distribuling Ihose monies to unemployed Canadians. In 1990, Ottawa promised 10 freeze premiumn increases for lhree years, and now, wilh lwo preinium hikes since theni, it's apparent the fed- eral governmienlt's promises are made te be broken." Bennett acknowledges Ihal chronic unemptoyment above 10 per cent across the country has drained the U.I. fund. But, he adds, the governmenl's deci- sion t0 ignore the best advice of ail inîerested parties indicates a slrategy aimned at pushing two premium hikes Ibrougli in 1991 10 put themselves in better shape for a 1993 eleclion. "So the U.I. deficit may be kepl aI a reasonable level in 1992, but aI what cost?" asks Bennett. "No firmi could have planned for such a hunge hike in fixed costs in one year. Tax increases during a recession act only 10 damnage, nol stimiulate a strug.- gling economiy, andtunemiploy- muent numlbers, ironically, could easily sNvell now, as business ownVIers buckle under the sîrain of excessive taxation.- CFiB Feature Serv, C C.D.
