12 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 8,1983 Queen's Park Report By Sam Cureatz M.P.P. Durham Christian High School Choir Presents Final Concert LIFE 15 BORN TO M.P.P. Durham East June 6,1983 I mentioned in a recent recent column that I was looking forward to the release of the federal task force report on an automotive strategy for Canada. This report has now been published and I have read the recommendations recommendations with interest. interest. The report proposes that all vehicle manufacturers manufacturers who sell vehicles in the Canadian market be required by 1987 to have at least 60 per cent Canadian content content in those products sold here. In other words, Japanese and European automakers would be bound by the same conditions that the U.S. automakers are under the North American Auto Pact. Such a move would mean productions of parts and even vehicle assembly in Canada, thereby creating an estimated estimated 21,000 jobs and adding some $870 million million to the Canadian economy. In return for the 60 per cent requirement, requirement, off-shore automakers automakers would be allowed allowed duty-free access to the Canadian market, as U.S. producers are under the Auto Pact. I think the task force's recommendations represent represent a rational response response to the dilemma in which the Canadian auto industry finds itself. itself. We obviously cannot cannot exclude all foreign competition and so a compromise is needed. Having off-shore automakers automakers participate in the industry here as the U.S. producers do, seems a logical solution. Recently, I met with officers of the Oshawa & District Real Estate Board. Their President, Blair Buchanan and Dave Tonkin, Chairman Chairman of the Property Rights Department came to see me because, because, like many other members of the real estate profession, they would like to see property property rights included in the Canadian Constitution. They feel that the right to hold property is simply a recognition of our history and legal traditions in Canada. In fact, many people feel that the right to property goes hand in hand with the right to personal liberty and the basic personal freedoms we take for grnted. During the constitutional constitutional negotiations of 1980, Ontario strongly supported the inclusion of property rights in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A draft of the Charter included such a reference but in August of that year, this reference was removed in response to concerns from some of the provinces, provinces, primarily Saskatchewan Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island, who felt that such a provision could adversely affect their existing legislation respecting land owner ship. For example, Prince Edward Island believes its ability to regulate the sale of farmland and shoreline to out-of-province owners owners could be hindered. The issue of property rights was therefore set aside in the pursuit of a broader consensus among the provinces on such fundamental issues as patriation, an amending formula and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Recently, Recently, however, the property property rights issue surfaced surfaced again when British Columbia's legislature legislature unanimously ORONO NEWS By Isabelle Challice Quote - "If they are talking behind your back, you are walking in the right direction." direction." - Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Peter Leonard, who were married Saturday, June 4, in Orono United Church, with Rev.
