Resolved: A new FACE for 1978. - "Fighit Against Corruption Everywhere" Sincerely, Dean J. Kelly Box 1000 Port Perry, Ont. LOB INO Royal Commissions are govt. waste Dear, Sir: The public is getting sick and tired of govern- ments and their con- tinuing wasteful- Royal Commissions. They are getting to a point of hilarity. The Trudeau govern- ment has worked them to death covering up waste and scandai to the tune of hundreds of mil- lions of the taxpayers money. Now they mostly gather dust. The Davis government of Ontario has no less than seven royal commissions in ex- istence at the moment. The wasteful La Marsh Commission spent $2,200,000 living "high on the hog" at taxpayers expense. The latest and înost flagrant wasteful comn- mission is the $ 350 a, day 2-year study of primary school children. The head of the commission Laurier LaPierre, who has no background in primary, education is from Quebec. La Pierre the great egotist is well known for his anti-crown and pro-republican views. The Ontar.io government stung on týe LaMarsh deal, now is party. to paying out $ 100,000 of the $300,000 for- La Pierre. The Commission was proposed by the past-president of the Catholic teachers Associa- tion, which will pay only one-quarter of its cost not funded by the government. The Commission ac- cording to the press re- ports say they wiII study- children fromn the ages of 3 to 8 years. Do theY plan to go into the privacy of peaples homes to interrogate 3 yearolds? Eftough is enough! CA=~dians have already ninrtaâaed *heir qonuît with a debt of $66.3 billion-a .whopping $4,595 for- every man woman and child in Ontario. The interest alone on 'Ontario's debt is a staggering ONE THOUSAND MILLION dollars a year. The provinces single largest creditor,, the Canada Pension Plan is owed more than $6 billion. Lt is estimated by 1995 we'll be comipletely bankrupt. We must end these frivolous wasteful com- missions' that spend money like it grows on trees. SincereIy, Dean J. Kelly,President Association of * Dedicated Canadians Box 1000, Port Perry., Ont. LOB INO P. S. Two of the.four'issues to be investigated have already been covered.
