That's not an unreasonable unreasonable question when you stop and think of the billions of dollars government spends on your behalf. 1 In the past if you opened a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) for your children's college or university education, and the child didn't pursue that education, then you lost the tax savings. That's no longer'the case. Now the RESP can be transferred transferred into an RRSP and you get to keep the tax savings. If you haven't used the RESP isn't it now more attractive to do so? I've three children in university myself. I know first-hand the huge expense of providing a post-secondary post-secondary education. The federal government has also widened the defini- ' tion of tuition fees, which means an increased tax deduction. We have also increased the education deductions to assist students with rising tuition fees. Students will now have three years after graduation to begin payments on their student loans. Why? Because this government government Understands that the transition to work from school is not easy especially when you lack the experience experience employers are asking for. An enriched child 'tax credit for those whose income is less than $26,000 will help people make ends meet while they raise their families. More money in the Small Business Loans Program will make more money available to small business for expansion or start-up capital. These loans have an eighty-five per cent federal government guarantee. Ask your local banker about these loans. The federal government realizes that the small business business sector creates the lion's share of jobs and wants to give that sector a break to create more. If total El remittances are under $60,000 per year small business won't have to pay employment insurance for new employees for up to one year. In addition if you have to pay out less than $1,000 per month in deductions you will only have to remit quarterly, quarterly, not the current monthly monthly status. This reduces paperwork and increases working capital. The Business Development Bank has had its capital base increased again. Now, it will be able to provide more lending and joint venturing within the small business sector. Farm Credit Corporation has had its funding increased by $50 million. This will allow FCC to help g>t. Sf oïw's $ Anglican Cï)urcï) Temperance St. S., Bowmanville OJ.P.

The $50 million will also help first-time farmers start a farming operation. What I see as a very important move is the $850 million commitment to partnership partnership post-secondary institutions with the Canada Foundation for Innovation in the area of research and development. I hope to be working with Durham College on this with the goal, of helping more secondary-school graduates interested in science science and technology. find jobs here in Durham. This budget is primarily a continuation of the fiscally responsible path this government government set out on upon taking taking office. Reducing deficits and debt, which has resulted in lower interest rates, means over $4,000 more in disposable income for the working family with a mortgage mortgage of $100,000. Or it could mean a reduction in those new car payments. Whatever it is you are paying for, clearly the interest interest reduction makes the financial lives of us in Durham easier by putting more money in our hands, lowering debt and allowing us to plan for our own and our families' future.

TYPES OF FIREPLACES Conventional Open Wood Fireplace: Open wood fireplaces are notoriously Inefficient averaging between -10% in +10%. By comparison die minimum energy energy standard for gas furnaces is now 80% and higher. However many limites in Uie past were heated entirely by these fireplaces although Uiey were required in virtually every room. Vast amounts of heat went- right out the chimney with a very small amount being radiantly transmitted into the room. When these fireplaces are actually miming they consume 6 to 10 limes the amount of air required for more efficient air tight wood inserts nr tlicir gits equivalents. equivalents. Only a small amount is used for cmnhnslinn the rest is excess air that goes right up the fine. This can cause severe problems In homes dial have had additional insulation and sealing done in them. Because lit Uie large amount nf air going out Uiis causes Uie house In become lower in pressure Uian the outside. If die house has a gas nr nil furnace and die depressurization is high enougli.lhen die exhaust fumes from Ore furnace can he "spilled" hack into the house dirough the draft luxxl on a gas furnace furnace nr die swinging barometric damper on an oil furnace. This Is a prime cause for carbon monoxide poisoning in a house. For safely sake I would urge all people people with diese traditional fireplaces to invest in a $50 carbon monoxide detector. It is a small investment that could save your life. Insert Style Fireplaces: These have been developed to reduce die problems of die above styles nf fireplaces. fireplaces. They are mush. more efficient. They can control the rate nf combustion lienee die excess air is greatly reduced. Efficiencies range from 50% to 80%, depending mi style and design. Gas inserts arc becoming very popular popular in urban areas. Their convenience and low labour required me winning hands down over die handling of wood and ashes ashes it subsequently leaves. There are gas inserts to fit virtually any size fireplace opening and qualified gas dealers are licensed to install and service them. Problems with fireplace/stoves and chimneys: A very commun complaint we hear Is that customers complain that a wmxl stove installed in the basement hack drafts and smokes limit die chimney gets warm then runs ok. Often people use hair dryers or stuff newspaper near flue and light it. The reason for this lies in die Ideation and venling into die chimney. Time and lime again we see a long horizontal run of stove pipe of 6-10' outside to a lee or cleanout then Insulated stainless chimney is run up die outside nf the house. Having a chimney on din outside (it your house is going to gel you into potential problems. Thai combined widi lung horizontal runs and sharp bends in the venting cause so much function loss dial die draft is reduced more Uian usual. Because die chimney is cold to start widi (ll is on the outside nf die house), die add air wants to dump nut of die stove because it is heavier heavier Ilian die warm air In die room. These insulated stainless wmxl burning burning chimneys were commonly installed 1(1 to 20 years ago to accommodate a wood stove in the basement. Placement and venting are extremely important to insure safe operation to alleviate problems encountered above. The good news that many nf the gas fired prixlucts today are direct vent eliminating die need for such expensive chimneys and are much more efficient. Chimney vented gas products can also utilize existing chimneys hy installing die 1 appropriate liner inside. With the constant pilot light which allows die unit in produce heat even with power outages, diese units will provide clean comfortable heat widi nil smoke inherent widi certain wmxl burning appliances.
