He believes the region representation is so important important that it demands full time participation. By KENNETH McDONALD Canada is in political turmoil. turmoil. There's alack of public confidence in political institutions institutions and political, leaders. Citizens feel isolated from the political process as governments governments implement legislation legislation which is often contrary to public opinion. , Both here and in the U.S., there is profound distrust of central governments. Too much power has passed from elected representatives to non-elected officials. Too often local Members of Parliament Parliament are nothing more than ombudsmen! How are we going to strengthen the role of MPs and increase public confidence confidence in the political system? system? The Canadian Federation Federation of Independent Business sees the following two mea- I sures as being 'potentially influential. The first, already passed into law, will take election financing out of the hands of central party organizations organizations and their sources in big business' and big unions. m • • By permitting 75 percent of the first $ 100 contributed to a federal political party to be deducted from income tax, and reducing the relief on larger contributions up to a maximum deduction of $500, the new rules put the money power into the hands of the individual riding' , associations. Democracy gains by a shift of .power from big centralized institutions institutions to individuals and local communities. • e • If an MP ignores the wishes of his or her constituents, it could be relatively easy for a group of angry citizens to take over a riding association association and finance its own candidate. « • • The second measure, awaiting formal legislation, deals with freedom of public public access to information on which the federal government government bases its decisions. Withholding that information information is the chief source of bureaucratic power. How can the Official Opposition, or members of parliamentary committees, offer constructive constructive criticism when deprived of the relevant facts? • e • For example, Mirabel, the $1.5 billion airport which airlines and passengers are trying to avoid, probably would never have been built if the fanciful traffic projections projections used to justify it had been made public. ' Changing election financ- « ing was a commendable step toward electoral reform. Freedom of information, is essential to reforming Parliament Parliament itsejf. Both represent a potential shift of power from Big Government, Big Business, Big Labour and Big Cities to individuals, small business and local t communities.
