The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, February 19,1992 5 from by Gord Mills, M.P.P., Durham East w V / V e. A The past week, like the next three or more to come, I have spent every day at Queen's Park, sitting on the Legislative Committee tasked with the investigation investigation into the conduct of the Minister of Northern Affairs Affairs and Mines, the Hon. Shelley Shelley Martel. I must confess that the job is proving to be a thankless one. We Canadians have always always prided ourselves in being fair and by not prejudging a person's guilt before hearing the evidence. Alas, after listening listening to comments made to the press by some committee members I feel that Ms. Martel has already been found guilty, despite some 28 witnesses who still remain to be called to give evidence. Last week, the Prime Minister Minister of Canada was in Peterborough. Peterborough. When so many people arc faced with welfare for the first time in their lives and demonstrate over the lack of employment, I felt it rather insensitive insensitive that Mr. Mulroncy termed them "politicized crackpots and NDP members." Didn't they deserve a more compassionate comment than that? The battle launched by Big Business against the proposed changes to the Ontario Labour Relations Act continues to heat HERMAN "He said I could have breakfast in bed every morning."

Bowmanville 623-6957 85 Kent Street W Lindsay (705) 324-2572 Opinion and Comments Business Federation Objection to Labor Law Reforms up. I find it passing strange that the opponents to the proposed proposed amendments have failed to say that every proposed change to the Act is already in place in the other provinces. I think it needs to be said that the opposition is to this government government and its very existence - not just to the OLRA amendments. amendments. There's an old role in warfare warfare that the key to victory is to mass your force at the weak point in the enemy's lines. Those who arc determined to undermine this government have decided the amendments to the Ontario Labour Relations Relations Act is our weakest point. After all, it isn't easy to go after after employment equity (women, (women, disabled and minorities) welfare reform (the poor and children) and environmental' reform. Personally, I'm getting a trifle fed-up with the threats and hysteria from business leaders fixed on a campaign against the provincial government. government. From the confidential big business documents that I've seen they all appear bent upon unnerving the public with apoplectic predictions of impending impending disaster. These tactics are all counter productive to the aim of making Ontario a better place to work in. The Ontario Legislature, will now resume in early April. The delay has been brought about over the need for more time to prepare the budget, and the wait to sec the contents of the Federal Budget before making ours final. I smiled when I read and heard that the new Liberal Leader, Lyn McLeod had slammed the government government for the delay. Of course the delay can only be achieved through mutual consent consent of all three parties, one of which Ms. McLeod is the leader leader of. Why do we always have to endure silly political posturing posturing over even the most minor arrangement? On Saturday, I bowled for Big Brothers in Oshawa. Thanks to all my sponsors. Until Until next week - be kind to each other. School Offers The Honourable Bob MacKemie Dear Sir, "The government's objective objective is promote broad and meaningful public consultation' consultation' (introduction page 2, paragraph paragraph 2,) certainly makes one want to be part of the process. The confrontational interaction interaction between management and government has done little to give credence to the quoted sentence. If this government intends to listen then it should have an open mind as well as an open car. The government's inflexible position on the issues issues that have been raised by public presentation, press releases releases and media to date makes one wonder whether there is any point in making presentations presentations at all. When many credible organizations organizations have made presentations presentations and no perceptible change in altitude or position takes place, then one wonders whether a meaningful consultation consultation process is taking place or whether the confrontational adversarial adversarial process is being honed to an even keener edge., z Now is not the time for us as Ontarians to bicker and fight. Energies, foolishly expended expended this way, need to be applied applied to get this province back on track. There is very little point in talking about organizing labour if there is no work. If the proposals proposals that arc put forth in the discussion paper arc implemented, implemented, then we all know, and this government has been told, many present jobs will disappear. disappear. Market conditions arc dictated by international conditions conditions and we, here in Ontario, arc foolish to think that we can protect jobs by creating labour legislation that puts Ontario at a disadvantage globally. The time for the type of legislation legislation this government is proposing proposing for Ontario is past; it may still be apropos for other areas on the globe but not here. Employees arc already being catered to too much and to give them even more of an upper hand will only decrease Ontario's Ontario's competitive position further. further. ■ We arc Wholeheartedly in favour of "Developing an in dustrial strategy designed to promote innovation and enhance enhance Ontario's competitive advantage" (1.3 paragraph 2, page 4). We fail to understand how that statement and the suggested reforms arc compatible. compatible. The government's belief that Ontario cannot possibly compete, on the basis that lower lower wage costs arc the key to competitiveness, because there will always be employers elsewhere elsewhere with a lower paid lesser skilled work force, is practically practically a contradiction in terms. If the government recognizes that there are lower wage and probably probably equally skilled producers competing for the same markets markets then is it not shutting its eyes and hoping that those facts vanish by putting forward proposals as contained in the discussion paper? "Ontario's success depends on greater cooperation in the workplace" (page?). This will not be achieved by deepening the entrenchment of the two camps, employee vs employer. Further organizing of labour in the areas proposed may settle some outstanding I.O.U.'s between between the N.D.P. and organized organized labour but it will come at a price that none should nor need to pay. The very fact that this discussion discussion paper is out has brought some areas of contention contention on the table which possibly possibly should have been discussed earlier. Let the solution to them be found at their own level, dictated by the marketplace. This government's persistence persistence to proceed with this legislation legislation will no doubt gain them points with those in the organized labour movement now. If short term gain is the agenda then we should proceed with the proposals. If, however, however, we wish to look at what this province will be five, ten or twenty years from now, then we should look far beyond our borders, in a global perspective, perspective, and put this province on an equal footing globally to enable enable it to compete globally. It is high time that government government stops being the sugar daddy and becomes the leader, the innovator, the facilitator. It is not government's responsi bility to solve all the problems; it should prevent them and certainly certainly should not cause them. Government's responsibility is to govern, meaning to create the environment for business and labour both to understand their respective responsibilities, responsibilities, first towards each , other, then to society and last to their share holders and union leaders. leaders. We arc our brother's keepers, keepers, but that does not mean sharing all things equally without without taking equal responsibility. Responsibility for continuing growth and development. Responsibility Responsibility for remaining competitive. Responsibility lor not only our own work/living sphere, but for the province, the nation and the whole world. Examples abound of excesses excesses in self interest; this legislation legislation will again cater to a select group. We respectfully suggest that you withdraw the legislation legislation and take up matters that can bring Ontario and Canada back on track. Respectfully Submilled.

People were glad to have the opportunity to safeguard safeguard their animals from the dread threat of rabies through innoculation, and 5,864 dogs and cats were vaccinated. The situation regarding rabies in this county seems to have abated somewhat as there have only been two cases of rabid animals reported in the . last six weeks, but'it is considerably more serions in neighboring Ontario County.
