t Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. Wednesday, June 16,1993 3 "Yes" Outspends "No" 13 to 1 Las I week 1 had the pleasure of participating • in what was probably the most significant announcement during my 11 years as politician. The occasion was a ceremony inaugurating inaugurating the Bureau for Excellence in the Durham Region (BEDR), located located at Durham College. While the official title may sound a bit awesome, awesome, it's an organization in which we all have an interest. It points to a way to a better future. i In years to come, the BEDR should have a very important impact on this community and the lives of t many among us. It puts the Durham ' Region in the very forefront of a nation-wide nation-wide move to make quality a principal goal for Canadian business and industries. For the past 30 and more years, the rest of the world has watched with envy as automobiles, TVs, stereos, stereos, cameras, and other products from Japan, Germany, and a few other countries, came to dominate world markets. That wasn't due to low prices prices and cheap labour, but because buy-' ers knew they were getting excellent quality for the money they spent. Canada simply cannot afford to ignore this sort of competition in the world marketplace. We are a trading- nation and have to sell our exports to survive. We just don't have enough people to consume everything we make. At least one-quarter of all the goods and services we produce here Outlook From Page 2 be selecting cabinet ministers for her government which by the prediction of Durham MP Ross Stevenson won't be around long. He says Ms Campbell will probably probably be looking at a late summer, early early fall election. While some polls predict that Jean Chretien will lead the Liberals into a majority in the House of Commons, one would think that people shouldn't be too sure about that. After all, people had begun foretelling foretelling last week that Jean Charest would be the next leader of the federal Tories. One might say, Mr. Charest isn't in the pink this week.

Veteran Teacher Fired for Refusal have to be sold abroad. Wtiat that means, essentially, is that one in three working Canadians depend on international trade for their jobs and livelihood. And, of course, it's at least equally important that we have the incentive to keep buying our own Canadian products because we know they offer us top value. In today's world, quality isn't just a fad or fashion - it's the very future! Business Week magazine stated recently recently that quality may well be "the biggest competitive issue" for the rest of this decade and on into the 21st century. About two years ago, Durham College president, Gary Polonsky, first approached me and the federal government about the need for promoting promoting total quality management in Durham. His foresight had a national as well as local impact. It dove-tailed with the federal Prosperity Initiative, a plan to create a high wage, high employment future for Canadians, based on a commitment to quality, innovation, innovation, and education. From this came the National Quality Quality Institute and the Canadian Network Network for Total Quality, in which our BEDR is one of the first participants. The aim is to promote and - we must hope - put in place locally a firm commitment to total quality, along with related and necessary changes to management and working procedures and principles. Special attention is given to small and medium-sized businesses, because because of their recognized importance in generating economic growth and new jobs. The BEDR should become an extremely. extremely. valuable resource for our community, and I strongly urge local businesses to become involved. By participating in the total quality program program they can expect to improve their competitiveness which, in turn, means a stimulated economy and more employment in Durham. Being competitive doesn't mean Canadians have to work for the same low wages as, for example, some Mexicans arc paid. The quality of our products is a key factor, and will become become even more important in the years ahead. With the Bureau for Excellence in the Durham Region, we can equal what Japan and Germany have been doing, and do it even better. Dear Sir/Madam: According to recently released information information from Elections Canada, the "Yes" side in the Charlottetown Accord Accord vote last fall outspent the "No" side by a margin of about 13 to 1. These figures don't include the huge amounts of our tax dollars spent by the federal government in the months leading up to the vote on pro-Accord propaganda. When all the votes were counted, however, the accord received majority majority support in only three Atlantic provinces. The "Yes" side was resoundingly defeated. So much for the theory that "money "money buys elections". These spending statistics also demolish demolish the federal government's justification justification for its infamous electoral gag law. That's the recently passed law which threatens citizens with up to five years" imprisonment if they spend more than $1,000, individually or as a group, to support or oppose political parties or candidates during federal elections. The political elite says we need this law to stop elections from being "bought", but obviously in light of the Charlottetown Accord results, such a law is not needed. What's more the gag law is unconstitutional. unconstitutional. It violates Canadians freedom of speech and association, which arc guaranteed in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We can only conclude that the real reason behind this electoral gag law is that the established political parties want to stifle independent voices during during elections, the most important period period in the democratic process. Fortunately, they can be stopped. I have launched a legal challenge to this horrible gag law and hope to win it. It's sad, however, that in a democracy democracy like Canada citizens must rely on the courts to protect their cherished cherished freedoms from attack by their elected representatives. Yours truly. David Somerville President Protection for Rental Households On June 9, 1993 at Queen's Park: Durham East MPP, Gord Mills, stood in the Legislature to speak and give his full support to the Private Member's Member's Bill introduced by Paul Wcs- senger, MPP Simcoe Centre. Mr. Wesscnger's Bill calls for the protection protection of all rental households living in mobile homes or on land lease communities communities across the province. "I believe believe that this Bill is Very important. It will entitle the residents of these communities to the same protection and rights that other tenants living outside these communities have." This Bill will bring land lease communities under the Rental Housing Housing Protection Act and will strengthen strengthen resident protection under the Landlord and Tenant Act and the Planning Act. "I have worked very hard for the past two and a half years with the res idents of Wilmot Creek. I have listened listened to their concerns, and have shared their concerns with the Minister Minister of Housing in hopes of getting Legislation through that would provide provide the folks at Wilmot Creek and across the province with increased protection and equity." Mr. Mills said. "It was a pleasure to see so much support from residents living in these communities including Wilmot Creek residents sitting in the gallery today." "It will be great to see all the government caucus work together to help speed up the process which will allow these people the same rights other tenants already receive." The Bill, called An Act to amend certain Acts with respect to Land Leases, 1993 has been sent to General General Government Committee for further debate.

To Join Union Multi-Cultural Students invade Quebec This Week Dear Sir!Madam: On May 27th, a courageous British British Columbia school teacher named Nonna Janzen launched an historic court battle for freedom. Mrs. Janzen was fired, after teaching teaching children with special needs for 24 years, because she refused to join the teachers' union as a member. Now, she is fighting back by challenging challenging the constitutionality of the law which tried to force her to join the union. She isn't challenging the requirement that she pay union dues, only that she be forced to join the union union as a member. For Nonna Janzen, the decision not to join the union was a personal one. When she was fired in June, 1990, she was teaching children with learning disabilities. She knew that if she joined the union union as a member, she would be unable unable to cross the picket line in the event of a strike and would be forced to abandon her students. Mrs. Janzen, a woman of strong principle and professional dedication, chose not to join the union despite the ultimatum. She believes that as a Canadian citizen, she has the freedom to associate associate ■ or not to associate • as guaranteed guaranteed under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. She will argue in court that requiring membership in a union as a condition of employment violates violates the Charter and should be struck down. it is likely that Iter case will ultimately ultimately lie decided by the Supreme Court of Canada, If she wins Iter challenge, she will restore an essential essential freedom to hundreds of thousands of other Canadians who are currently forced to join unions. Certainly, Norma Janzen has a long fight ahead of her but it is a worthy worthy battle. Union closed shops have no place in a free society. Yours truly, David Somerville, President.
