îO-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, December 10th, 1980 Mainstream Canada A Matter of Justice Services . There's one law for the bureaucrats at federal and provincial government departments departments and agencies, it seems, and another for ordinary citizens, particularly people . operating smaller businesses. • The problem: government officials take advantage of their privileged and powerful positions when it comes to enforcing enforcing the maze of many times conflicting regulations that control our lives. The result: the cost of fighting Ottawa dr provincial authorities is so prohibitive that in most cases Canadians find it cheaper to pay a penalty penalty rather than appealing what may be a legitimate point. In short, the system is grossly unfair to Canadians seeking justice .from the hundreds hundreds of government boards, agencies and commissions that rule our lives. The matter is especially important important for smaller firms because they lack the expertise and financing that it takes to battle agencies such as Revenue Canada or the provincial provincial labor relations boards. The Americans have found a solution to the problem. The U.S. Senate has passed legisla tion forcing the government to re-imburse smaller companies companies for their costs when they are found blameless of wrongdoing in government- related actions. It's high time such legislation legislation was brought forward in Canada because independent business people are sincerely concerned about the issue. Members of the 56,000 member Canadian Federation Of Independent Business, for example, recently voted 88V» in favor of such a move., Aside from the simple justice such a change would provide, government bureaucrats bureaucrats might be forced to have second thoughts about the arbitrary arbitrary rulings and Financial penalties that create hardship for entrepreneurs. Which is not to suggest that government employees shouldn't enforce the law. That's their duty and responsibility. responsibility. But in till fairness, people incorrectly charged with wrongdoing should be compensated compensated for their costs when, through simple error or lack of understanding, the government government is indeed proved to be an ass.
