According to reports, by next summer all Ontario boaters could be required to complete a safety course or obtain a licence before operating a vessel on On- tario waters. The Ontario government is to meet with federal officials next month to discuss the scheme which would grant the province powers to impose the regula- tions on boaters.

Ministry officials said the new rules would apply to all pleasure crafts operating on the waterways in the province. These rules could include man- datory safety and training for all boaters, and require owners and operators to obtain a safety certificate. The possibility of licencing boaters and imposing age re- strictionsis also on the table. Officials from the Solicitor- General's Office, Natural Re- sources and Tourism ministries will meet with the federal offi- cials. Constables Brian Hall and Al Brouwer from Durham's Ma- rine Patrol Unit are praising the idea of increased enforc- ment on the water. "I think it's a great idea and long overdue," said PC Hall. "The rules are so far behind the times." PC Hall said under the cur- rent rules a young child can op- erate a vessel with little train- ing and no licence. This, he said, leads to disaster. He is in favor of imposing li- cencing as well as training. "There's going to have to be a licencing age," he said. : Durham officials praise plan to licence Ontario boaters Heis advocating setting a cer- tain age for youths to be able to operate vessels with a licence and also make it a requirement fore underage operators to com- plete a training course and oper- ate vessels with an adult on- board. Although there has been no serious accidents on Lake Scu- gog in recent years, PC Hall fears there is one waiting to happen if the laws are not changed. He said increased boat traffic and the increased number of young people operating person- al watercrafts is a dangerous situation. "The whole thing has to be re- vised," he said. "It's long over- due and it's unfortunate that people had to die." Scugog mayor Howard Hall is also praising the idea of setting age restrictions and licencing boaters. In fact, the topic was dis- cussed among Durham's may- ors during a recent meeting. Mayor Hall is advocating a minimum age requirement for - operating any vessel on the wa- ters. "They must be at an age when' they're showing some sem- blance of responsibility." Shepherd opposed to recommended pay hike for MPs By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star Durham's member of parlia- ment is opposed to pay increas- es for the country's MPs. "I just don't think it's in the best interests of the country," said Alex Shepherd. A three-member commission released a report last week sug- gesting MPs should get a pay in- crease to $75,000 a year after 1997 and $86,000 after the next federal election. The members currently make $64,400, and receive tax-free ex- pense allowances of $21,300. The report originally suggest- ed MPs deserve $100,000 to rec- ognize "the inherent value of the job of democratic represen- tation in this country," but ac- knowledged such a raise would not be possible in the current ec- onomic times. But the Liberal Party is re- jecting any proposal for wage in- creases pointing to a wage freeze which has been in place for anumber of years. The Liberals increased this freeze by another two years ear- lyinits agenda. "We must lead by example and we must keep our integri- ty," Mr. Shepherd said. The MP said the wage freeze will continue. The report also recommended restrictions on the pension plan for MPs and changes to the tax- free allowances.
