WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1980, PAGE 3 Fenneli tels Ho use of Commons.... R educing go vern ment helps economy Scott Fennell, Conser- vative MP for the Ontario riding, congratulated the Liberal employment minister for the tax credit program and, in the same breath, attacked the gover- nment for not doing enough to help Canada achieve energy self-sufficiency. In a recent House of Commons speech, Fennell criticized the Liberals for in- troducing the employment tax credit which he called another fix-up on the part of the government. "It is part of the total program, but it is only a lit- te part - it does not solve the problem," he said. According to him, with the defeat of the Conservative government all constructive economic planning in the House has ground to a halt. Fennell blames the Liberals for a drop in em- ployment in Ontario and Quebec. This is because they have failed to work towards an energy self-sufficient Canada, he said. "They talk about money for Chrysler, money for Quebec for manufacturing vehicles, but they do not want any production in Alberta so as to make us energy self-sufficient and create labour in this country which is so desperately needed," hesaid. The Liberals boasted about not re-introducing the 18 cent tax on gas which, ac- cording to Fennell would have allowed the gover- nment to make Canada self- sufficient in energy and manufacturing and to create jobs. "Our government put together a total economic package which would have made this country solve the unemplovment problems," said Fennell'. "Let the minister take a look at it, copy some more of it or take the whole thing and do it properly." Fennell urged the gover- nment to give some incen- tive to the private sector and warned them of continuing to create government work. He said that the slogan "Control government, not people" used during the last election should still stand as valid. He attacked the minister of finance for not following up on his proposal to start a gradual reduction of in- flation and interest rates as a viable solution to the economic problems. Fennell asked why the Minister does not do this in Ottawa instead of spending more money on the gover- nment. "Let the people spend it, let the individual, the private sector spend it, not the government," said Fen- nell. With so rnuch government spending he warned that -ONT DFROM PG, 2 committee last Tuesday night requesting consent to build the homes in town. "I think it's a bit ludicrous if the council goes for it," he said. The councillor even went as far as to point a finger at Consolidated Building Cor- poration with regards to the application. Drumm said that it is his personal opinion that they are going to use the new they are compounding their deficit and that future Canadian generations are going to be the ones to suf fer for it. Fennell also asked when the government will care for the working Canadian with regard to tax breaks. He said that the Conservatives provided mortgage interest and tax deductability to give the working Canadian a break against punitive tax costs. "They are the persons that are the guts of this country. We must pay attention to them," he warned. Fennell read from a document, giving suggestions to the gover- nment. He said that they should reduce the burden on the economy by reducing the government, they should reduce the size of the public sector service and they should dismantle crown cor- porations. He strongly urged the government to get intitiative development in Whitby to subsidize their operations in Brooklin. Most of the homes on the new lot would be single family detached homes on 35-foot lots. The project would bring an estimated 900 to 1,100 people to the area, but Drumm says "no way". "We're not going to take a rise in population density," he said. -pat'spIacç19 .. m 0 LAST 3 DAYS OF MAY MADNESS SALE 30°% off EVERYTHING IN OUR STORE EXCEPT: DAKIN TOYS AND GIRL GUIDES OF CANADA MERCHANDISE.

"They should help Canadians to get a stake in this country no only through their own homes but through ownership of stocks of Canadian corporations," said Fennell. "They're doing nothing to solve the problems of the citizens and entrepreneurs of this country." Fennell said that if the government were to direct their energy towards oil self- sufficiency there would be no need for an employment tax credit program. He said the government should look beyond the tax credit program and develop what he calls a total program. The 'total program' would concern it- self with an overall energy and ernployment strategy. "They have the people that can do it. They have the ideas they can steal and they have a lot of ideas they can "If they're going to talk smaller houses they should build 1,100 square-foot homes." The size of new houses is also becoming a controver- sial subject. The bylaw states that homes should take up no more than 25 per cent of the lots they sit on. A spokesman for the developer has admitted the proposed homes could cover up to a 40 per cent area of the lots. create themselves," said $469. and 1 Hour Notice will deliver a handsome Lounge Chair and Ottoman in time for Father's Day I»UeEAU HELRETAGE l HOUSE limited A Tradition in Fine Fumiture 216 Mary Street E., Whitby 668.3483 H wy 12 North to Mary St. l-1t Block North of Dundas Open Dalty 9., Wed., Thurs..
