Opinion and Comments Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, June 30,1993 3 by Ross Stevenson, M.P. Last Thursday afternoon in the Legislature, the Town of Newcastle officially became, "The Municipality of Clarington." On Wednesday, the mood in the House turned "ugly" when the government moved closure on 2nd Reading of Bill 48 (The Social Social Contract), Through this, the fate of my Private Member's Bill to change the name, due for Third Reading Reading the next day, was put in jeopardy. However, behind the scenes discussion discussion by all three party House Leaders, Leaders, coupled with my own one-on- one talks with friends in both opposition opposition parties, saved the day, the rest is now history. I now look forward to' the start of a new beginning for all citizens, business and industry. Our new name, can become the catalyst for a renewed vigour to put "The Municipality of Clarington" front and centre in the Region of Durham, and beyond our immediate boundaries. As 1 forecast, the Legislature voted voted on Wednesday last, to extend the present sitting for an indefinite period. period. So, instead of packing up on Thursday night, to spend some time in the riding, I will remain at Queen's Park. As a rule, committees don't meet during July, in order that members members not only have time in their riding, riding, but also get some holidays. The longer the House the sits into July, the less the time there will be between between the start of committees. I'm a member of the Justice and of the General Government Committees, both have a heavy agenda for the Summer and Fall. I'm now mind-set for a holiday during the Christmas break! Once again this summer my office is promoting our FoodShare Program. Program. Last year we asked all those having an excess of vegetables to share them with those less fortunate. The response was tremendous, and was very much appreciated by local agencies. Unfortunately, my staff haven't the time to go out into the area to pick beans, etc. All we ask is that you call for a pickup if you can't get the produce into my office. I hope you share with me, the desire to help all those who arc struggling, by sharing sharing our fresh produce. My constituency office, a former day-care-centre, affords a nice open area in the rear, and I'm going to utilize utilize this area to host a "Constituency Picnic." The timing depends upon the Legislative schedule but I hope to set the event sometime in late July or early August. Notice of it will appear in the local press. We won't be offering offering anything too fancy, but hot-dogs, cake and ice cream, will definitely be on the menu. Since I won't have much time to go out into the riding to meet people this summer, I thought it would be a good idea to open up the "constituency office back yard" to listen to your concerns and complaints. complaints. Back-yard discussion in our homes, as a rule, becomes quite interesting. interesting. I'm looking forward to our "back-yard" discussions being just as frank, informative and interesting. All of my staff, including those from Toronto, will be present, and I'm going going to try to get a cabinet minister to be there as well. A couple of weeks back, I wrote about the quick demise of political popularity. The Conservatives, under John Major, were recently given an overwhelming mandate to govern in the United Kingdom. One winning seat, in that election of just over one year ago, was in Newbury, where the Conservative candidate had a majority majority in excess of 20,000. In last week's by-election, the Conservative candidate candidate lost the seat. It would seem to me that politicians are now caught in a vice. No government can now raise taxes, or introduce a new tax, without having to find the means of compensating compensating those most adversely affected by the measure. It seems that no government government can practise retrenchment, cutting benefits, subsidies or expenditure expenditure on its services, without arousing resentment in that section of society that will be affected. Look at the Social Social Contract for one recent example. In discussion last week, someone told me that politicians have to cam the respect of the people. As I'm called upon to make decisions in today's political climate, I am finding that the difficulties of the job arc such that the chance of earning that beloved respect respect becomes slimmer all the time. Until next week - we shouldn't wait to see what happens but rather we should be determined to make the right things happen - take care. When Kim Campbell took office last week as our country's 19th Prime Minister, she also unveiled the most significant downsizing of government government in Canadian history, As the federal cabinet has been reduced reduced to 25 ministers, the number of government departments also is being being cut by one-third. Several will be thoroughly redesigned or given broader mandates, while 15 are to be either merged or eliminated. All departments departments are being streamlined. When legislation is passed to implement implement these changes, many names and titles that have been familiar for at least a generation will disappear. For example, concern about the protection of our society will be the responsibility of a Minister of Public Security. That cabinet portfolio covers covers a broad range - federal police and penal institutions, parole, national security, security, immigration processing and enforcement, as well as customs and anti-smuggling controls at our borders. borders. A new Human Resources and Labour Labour portfolio will include the present federal Labour department, plus employment and training, social services and income support programs, programs, federal support for postsecondary postsecondary education, setting immigration immigration levels and selection criteria, and immigrant settlement programs. The Minister of Agriculture has been assigned additional responsibility responsibility for those people living in small communities and rural areas, and for reviewing how federal programs affect affect them. Additionally, Agriculture will oversee food processing and manufacturing, and consumer labelling. labelling. Prime Minister Campbell said the changes she announced last week are the first step toward giving Canadians Canadians a leaner, more efficient government, government, one that will be more accessible, accessible, and properly equipped to deal with the multitude of changing conditions conditions as we advance toward the next century. While significant in themself, those changes also provide a good indication indication of what else can be expected from this new government in the months ahead. They arc the first step toward creating a radically new federal structure structure and a fundamentally different ap proach to government. This government government intends to be smaller, more effective, and less expensive to run. When legislation has been enacted creating these fewer new departments, departments, we can look for a significant reduction in the number of top-level public servants at the deputy and assistant-deputy assistant-deputy minister level. I'd suggest we can expect to see about 50 of those high-salaried, senior senior positions disappear. With all these improvements, it's fair prediction that in about one year's lime most Canadians will hardly recognize the look of their federal government.
