Credit Union more power Sidney Handleman, Ontario minister of con- sumer and commercial relations, announced last week proposals for a deposit insurance program and broadly increased powers for provincial credit unions. The mandatory deposit plan would cover credit union members to a maximum of $20,000 each for shares and deposits in credit unions. At a meeting of credit union presidents, Mr. Handleman and members of his ministry staff outlined proposals for 18 legislative changes - that would expand the powers of credit unions. Under the proposed changes, credit unions would be permitted to act outside of Ontario, to advertise and publicize their services, to purchase life insurance for members and act as agent for members in offering registered retirement savings plans through trust companies. These changes would also (continued on page 15) . Cu J : Y ' .

At a special committee meeting held Friday to dis- cuss new developments and the Ottawa trip, Mr. Mina said government funding-- and the size of the funding-- hinges directly on the amount of local enthusiasm and support that canbe stirred. He said campaigns should step into high gear, corpor- ations and businesses should be contacted for their sup- port, and public relations efforts should be expanded. One of the problems facing local organizers, according to Mr. Mina, is that most of the leg work has been carried out by only a few people. He suggested that the project take on a larger operating base, so that suc- cess or failure does not three people. A core of ten or twenty people, it was suggested, should be established. He also said that a great deal of "follow up efforts" should now take place, and organizers here should keep in touch with the government agencies contacted in Ottawa and the province.
