2 - Orono W..kly TUrnes, Wodnesday, May 26, 1993 Ha s meant what he said It lias becomne apparent that Bob Rae, Premier of Ontario, meant wliat lie said some weeks ago stating that the Provincial budget had to be trimmed by some $7.8 billion in order tbat the 1993 deficit did flot go beyond $10 billion. 1At the time lie laid out his plan of attack and as far as we can sec lias lield to his plan tothis point The final piece in tlie plan the implementation of a Social Contract affecting public employees lias yet to be settled. Judging, liowever, from past actions in the budget-reducing plan we would expect that Rae will drive tlrougli to the implementation of tlie contract. It secins now that lie has no other clioice as tlie general public most recently were lit witli a budget increasing provincial taxation and otlier proposaIs lias caused cuts to funding to public institutions and municipalities. Tlie only dlaim lcft in the Premier's plan is tlie Social Contract and it is a major cog in the wheel of reducing some $2 billion. It will affect some 900,000 public sector employees witli sncb as in tlie medical field, education, bospitals and municipalities. Just how iliese public institutions will liandle thec cuts lias yet to be detcrmined but one would expect tbat tlie province will give some direction tlirougli thc implementation of the social contract. Turne is running sbort for the Premier for the Social Contract cannot be put off mucb longer if the province bopes to meet its objective of keeping tbe deficit wîtbin tlie $10 billion bench mark. From ail that can be seen Rae and the NDP are holding true to their decision and it appears that support is building for the planned cutbacks. Graduating Licencing System The graduatin-g licencing system tliat is now being recommended by the province and goes tbrougb a series of public bearings was lieadél up in an editorial in the Port Hope Guide as "Improving the Nut Behind the Wheel". M*tichael Woolner in bis column in tbe Times "AI] That Jazz" also bad some interesting aspects of the proposed legislation tliat lias bee-n promoted by the Insurance Bureau of Canada One thing is for sure and tbat is parents of sixteen year olds will neyer be "coucli potatoes" any more. That sixteen year old, if the plan goes ahead as proposed, wîll bave to be accompanied during tbe initial -part of thie programi by a person witli at least four years driving experience, thie traditional accompaniment an older sibling or peer group licensed driver will go by the wayside. Tbat could go on for a period of eight montbs providing driver education is part of the teenagers program in the new sysr.em. There is no doubitbat sometliing lias to be done and really the sooner thc better. Some of the planned proposais are warranted and warrant serious consideration.
