Victoria-Haliburton The December 1992 Econom- ic Statement reinforces our pri- ority: to build confidence, en- hance growth, create jobs and help Canadians. do measures will encour- age economic growth, particu- larly through the small busi- ness sector. * A 10 per cent investment tax credit will help small busi- ness, farmers and fisheries in- vest in machinery and equip- ment. * Small businesses that hire more employees will not have to pay any extra Unemployment Insurance premiums in 1993. In addition, UI premium rates are frozen in 1993. * We will increase the ceiling for loans under the Small Busi- ness Loans Act to $250,000. * The rules for investment in small business by RRSPs and [.abor-Sponsored Venture Capi- tal Funds will be simplified. * We are extending the Small Business Financing Program to the end of 1994. It allows small firms in difficulty to refinance loans at lower rates of interest. We are stepping up our ef- forts to upgrade national trans- portation and communications infrastructure. This will make Canada more competitive, and lead to investments of more than $2 billion over five years. We are reviewing all federal regulations to get rid of those that unnecessarily stifle busi- ness initiative, or no longer serve the public good. * Agriculture Canada has al- ready acted, and a further 25 Report from Parliament departments and agencies will review their regulations by April 1993. Trade is our lifeblood. To pro- tect our competitive position, Canada must work to lower costs. * We will reduce textile tariffs to bring them more in line with those of other industrialized countries. This will reduce costs faced by clothing manufactur- ers. Spending cuts announced in the a Statement will to- tal $8 billion by the end of 1994. This will hold down the deficit and fund important new meas- ures. * We will lead by example. Salaries for MPs and public ser- vants will be frozen for two years. * Those who quit their jobs without just cause, or who are fired for misconduct will no longer be able to get Unemploy- ment Insurance benefits. * Average UI benefit levels will be frozen. * Government operating bud- gets will be cut cent. * Grants and subsidies to most organizations and interest groups will be cut by 10 per cent in each of the next two years. These cuts will not apply to pensions, benefits, or transfers to provin- and territorial seniors' cial ments.

I would like to see an end to pollu- tion, an end to garbage crises, an end to deci- sions made for political expendiency rather than for the greater good of all. I know I'm not asking much! I've always been a bit too idealistic for my own peace of mind. But I think most people would be very glad to see these things in their lifetimes, or at least in their children's lifetimes. Now if we all want these things, why should it be so hard to bring One answer {is that it is a lot easier for us to go on in our old habits, instead of changing some of these habits. And changing habits is exactly what is going to be needed to achieve any of these goals. We might even have to give up some of our luxuries, which we tend to think of a - by Michelle Bull It is hard to believe that 1992 is almost over. It has not been a really great year, what with war in Yugoslavia and in many other parts of the world, a continued recession, and increas- ing news of environmental disasters. We can only hope that 1993 will bring some solutions to many of the world's problems. The turn of the year {s always a time for re- flection on the past and for making fresh starts. We can hope that the world in general might make some fresh starts, but what is really in our own power is fresh starts in our own lives. This is a good time for looking at our lives and seeing if they are being lived according to what we really believe fn. Are our present lifestyles going to bring us the things we most want in life? And if not, how can we go about changin them? What would be the first steps we coul to-da coul line with our real gestions. "10 easy fect you. Resolve to the dry new nature park area.
