Progressive Conservative MPP Chris Stockwell blasted socialists and called the NDP inept and the Liberals morally corrupt. In a Friday breakfast address to the Halton Centre PC Riding Association, the Etobicoke member vigorously attacked both governâ€" ments that have been in power since the Tory stranglehold on provincial government was broken in 1985. Universality of social programs was one of his targets. "We can no longer afford universality," he said.

We can no longer afford universality of day care, health care or baby bonuses. It doesn‘t make sense. It never made sense. It is a dinosaur," he said. He also said it is ridiculous to pay old age pensions to millionaires. The party‘s finance critic gave no hope to a questioner from the audience who wanted to stop a $50 million pay equity cheque destined to go to lower paid women in the civil service. "We can‘t stop it. It‘ was never meant to be a bonus cheque. Nobody can say there are against people getting paid an equal amount for the same job, but having a job now is more important. Somebody somewhere has to say ‘no‘ we can‘t afford it," said Stockwell. Deahng with the unemployment problem is more important, he said. Another questioner was told that it would be difficult to dismantle the institutions put in place by the curâ€" rent NDP government. Stockwell tied it to the difficulty of withdrawâ€" ing programs.

In a shotgun attack on deficit spending that included all Canadian governments, he said, that Canada has the highest per cent deficit in the world at close to 100% of the gross domestic product (GDP). He said that the revenues of govâ€" ernments have been rising faster than the economy for the past 30 years. The country has gone deeper in debt over those 30 years despite having the second highest per capita GDP in the world. The amount of gross income for necessities dropped from 50 per cent in 1960 to 30 per cent in 1990, he said. But during the same period, he added, government spending increased by three times per capita. He cited the 1985â€"90 Liberal government as "spending like nobody‘s business."
