urham MP Shepherd wants to know how much gun registration will cost Durham MP Alex Shepherd will continue to press federal Justice Minister Allan Rock on how much it's going to cost to set up a national gun registry in "The Minister (Rock) said he would provide a full cost analysis at the committee stage (of the gun legislation) and he did not do this," Shepherd told the Citizen after he deliberately stayed out of the 'House of Commons for a vote on second reading of the controversial gun legislation. Shepherd said government estimates of $85 million to set up the nation-wide gun registry for millions of privately owned - firearms is estimated." Some researchers have put the bill as high as $500 million. Whatever the amount, Shepherd Changes coming to make boating safer A joint federal-provincial task "hugely under- force will be making recommendations on recreational boating safety by the end of this month. And some of the recommendations will be implemented in time for the 1995 boating season. The Transport Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation task force was set up earlier this year after several fatal boating accidents in Ontario over the last few years. A recent coroner's inquest into the death of a youth last summer said both levels of government should look at how to ensure that people operating boats or' personal watercraft are qualified. Currently, there are no laws that require people to have any training. The task force is examining the following issues: vessel licensing, operator proficiency and boating safety programs, enforcement, waterways policing standards and emergency boater assistance. Transport Canada estimates that 50,000 vessels that must be licensed change hands each year without the transfer being Te) 4 Training in small vessel operation is now carrigd, out-by public organizations sucht. the Canadian Yachting Assoc. and the Canadian Watercraft Training Centre. However, there are no laws which require small vessel operators to complete any kind of boating safety education. While recommendations are expected by the end of the month in time for the coming boating season, the task force will also report a full action plan by the fall. said he*wants to know who is going to pay for it. He said he is bothered by the fact that the gun legislation has passed second reading in the Commons and nobody seems to know just how much it is going to cost. "The Bill should not be this far down the road without knowing how much it's going to cost," he told the Citizen. He said all taxpayers have the right to know how much this is going to cost. When the vote on the bill was held in the Commons last Wednesday, three Liberal MPs bucked their own party and voted against it. They were reprimanded by the Liberals in being relieved of committee positions. By deliberately stayingeout of the Commons when the vote was taken, Shepherd was also going against his own Party. However, he told the Citizen he doesn't believe he's in trouble with the Party. Shepherd said once the House returns after the Easter Break, he will continue to press both the Justice and Finance ministers to determine the cost of the legislation. ~ bo uy EN ON Nig Vad B= A 3 1 aL} = pl \B Els a 4 Wey A EVANS PLUS CEDAR LUMBER Lint. 8 w 12 aw 1g CapeCod Grey lu 1i CORT 1 17 EX CANADA per.ft. mm so | 82 | 00 [8.17] 00 [11.47(13.17 Sq xs | 467] 0 (4.67) 0 | 0 |7.47| Cape CodBlee......... elton pert. ssn 2x6 | 1.06|8.4710.5712.6714.77| 0 | 1X8 Cedar Selec 87 a Knotty Channel.............ccc.un. @ 708017 o xs [1.19] 0° [11.87 0° [16.671897 ax4 [1.201 0 | 0 | © (16.77/19.27) 3/4X10Buld Red Cdear.......... 37...
