OTTAWA - The federal government should start an exehange program whereby civil servants would spend two years working in the private sector. That suggestion was made on the (beor of the House of Commons by Ontario Riding MP Scott Fennell during a recent debate on a money borrowing bill. Using the opportunity to attack the government's economic policies the Progressive Conservative backben'Cher accused the Liberals of "perpetrating a continuous fraud on the Canadian public." FennelIl said that every timne the government borrows money, it takes money out of circulation, funds that could be used by private sector concerns needing to fipance capital projec ts. "Every time the gover- nment borrows excess fun- ds. .... it destr.oys the oppor- tunity for industry to raise funds at reasonable rates," he said adding that it par- ticularly affects the housing industry and those people seeking to buy mortgages. The Tory also claimed that government borrowing crea tes inflation. "Furthermore, does the government realize that by 1986, less than five years away, the interest to carry this debt will amount to $1,000 for each manl, woman and child in this country?" Fenneil asked. Assumning that the average Canadian family consisted of 3.5 persons, the average wage earner would have to bring honme $3,500 for the government to pay the bill. Fennell also attacked the government's policy regar- ding the creation of Crown corporations. "Every time a private corporation is purchased, a tàxpayer is eliminated," he said. "Once a company becomnes a Crown Cor- poration, it does not earn money." The Claremont resident and businessman said that every tirne a Crown cor- poration is created, the tax base is eroded because such companies becomne non- profit organizations. "I maintain it is tirne for the governinent to stop borrowing money and start to encourage the private sector instead. Productivity should be increased and this will result in increased revenue, eliminating the need to borrow money. " Fenneli also maintains that if the price of oil was allowed to increase to 75 per cent of the worbd price and logicably taxed, the gover- nment could increase its revenues, eiiminating the need to borrow money. "I suggest that this gover- nment should be innovative. It should start an exchange program for civil servants. It should send those people out to the private sector, so long as the prîvate sector can stand them. - Fenneil said that they should be sent out into the private sector for a two-year period so that they can see the problems being encoun- tered. "They may learn by ex- perience and by being ex- posed to the private sector how hard it is to make a buck. " Such a program, Fennel believes, would cure civil servants of introducing what he described as "free- wheeling, give-away programs. " Telling his fellow MP's that he came from the, private sector Fennell said that an exchange program would let civil servants know "what it really means to make money and how' hard it is to make it." "He will then understand that he should not be quite s0 free in giving money away.
