More tools are needed as that ar senal, has been depleted systematically an( devestatingly since 1968 by the Trudeau gover nment's love -of expediency. Members of Parlia ment are supposed to be able to get answers and ex planations fromn the government. We're supposed t( be able to study legisiation and examine it in detail On your behaîf, we're supposed to be able to vote or ail taxation measures and on the purposes towards which your tax dollars are spent. Since the Trudeau government came to power, and especially since 1974, Opposition MP's have nol been, able to do these things in a meaningful way. Thsi is why, wben you watch House proceedings on television, the process seemns like such a farce. For Most purposes, it is a farce. The biggest cuiprit has been the government's in- creasing use of order-in-council metho ds. These are regulations, binding on ahl Canadian citizens, which are agreed on and passed in private Cabinet meetings. There is no public debate. This is how we got the Metric Commission and why grocers in our riding will go to jail if'they weigh their meats in pounds. Making criminals out of people who use Imperial measurements is just one example. As your MP, I was not permitted to vote on cutting of Via Rail passenger service by 20 per cent. I was flot permit- ted to vote on the recent 77 per cent price increase on postage stamps. I was flot permitted to vote on the shipping of Canadian mined uranium to the Soviet Union. The next cuiprit is the use of closure to cut off Parliamentary debate. Prior to this decade, closure was called closure and was rarely used by the government. However, the Trudeau Liberals have found closure convenient and so in this decade closure is called 'time allocation' and is used routinely. The list of encroachments on the rights of thé op- position go on and on. The latest attempt has been the energy bill C-94. lI go into the bill's details in next week's column but there are two main points which ll emphasize now. *The bill, if passed, will virtually legitimize the concept of taxation without representation. This alone, in my view, demandsý that my party use every means at its disposaI to fight it. Secondlly, the bill is an omnibus bill. It requires MP'give one yes or no answer to no less than 15 substantially different questions. In summary, I'm pleased with the bell ringing My party has forced. It was the only demnocratic way we could force -the country's erosion of democracy in our Parliamen tary system. To me, democracy is not just a word. It hink it means that when MP's sit in the Hosue of Commons we do so on your behaîf. To Pierre Trudeau, democracy is just a word. A word uttered to dogs who should obey their master. He thinks that when MP's sit in the House they should also roll over. FLORI DA VACATION Club International
