The finance department underestimated the government's projected spending deficit by 60 per cent. It's going to be $16 billion instead of the $10.5 billion Allan MacEachen predicted in bis budget last November. > Sixty per cent!1 Anerror of this magnitude can flot even begin to be described by the word incom- petent. To put MacEachen's mistake in perspective, ima- gine you are a student writing an exam. You tel everyone you expect to get a respectable 70 out of 100 but instead you wind up barely passing. Or imagine you are a busi -nessman paying off some loans. You expect to be only $100,000 in debt by the end of the year. Instead, it tùrns out you owe $160,000 and you have to suddenly serounge up a sum equal to twice your annual income. If Allan MacEachen worked in the private sector and he tried to explain a blunder of this size to bis shareholders, not only would he be out of a job, he'd probably be put in jail for fraud or criminal negli- gence. What is incredible about this $6 billion unantici- pated government spending is that Ottawa main- tains it is tightening its belL. We were told last year that MacEachen had to raise taxes to reduce bis deficit. He raised them, ail right. But the only thing that bas si nce been reduced is your standard of living. brook Medical Centre in Toronto. Last Friday, Miskie was reported in critical condition after suffering severe bead and chest injuries. Burtôn was reported in fair condi tion, after undergoing surgery for head injuries. The OPP spokesman said that Burton will be charged with criminal negligence on the opera- tion of a motor vehicle. According to the Durham Regional Police Force, the vehi- dle, a 1979 Pontiac, was reported - stolen in Oshawa about two hours before the accident. Ail tbree men will be charged with possession of stolen goods. over $200, the Durham force said. The OPP spokesman added the damage to the car was estimated at $8,000. Final approval of the expansion plans for the hamlet of Brooklin could be delayed up to, a .year or scuttled entirely by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture. The loss of prime agri- cultural land is a great concern of Agriculture Minister Deniss -Tim- brell according to Durham Regional Chairman Gary Herrema. The plans call for the expan ,sion of Brooklin from a village of 1,600 people into, a town'0f 10,500 people,*over a 10- year period. The developer - First City Development Company Limited - bas agreed Lo bring the region's water supply and sanitary sewer pipes to, the bam- let.at its own cost before constructing about 2,200 new bornes. Al of these homes are to be prestigious houses on large - lots' costing more than $120,000 each. Herrema met with Timbrell in bis Toronto office last Thursday for about an hour to, discuss the proposai. According to the chairman, Timbreli would like to see a smailer agricultural envelope developed and has specifie reserva- tions about a 200-acre lot on Winchester Road, east of Thickson Road which is currently being farmed for cash crops., Herrema added that the minister gave no in- dication of, what he might do aithough he could refer tbe plan to the Ontario Muncipal Board. Timbrell, he con- tinued, is also concern- ed about a possible east- ward expansion of the development which would take up even more agricuitural land. Herrema discounted the idea saying that the sewer system in use.is not Compatible with the land in question because it lies in a different, water shed. Recently, officiais of the Ministry of Munici- pal Affairs and Housing said a decision will be made sbortly whetber or not to send the pro- ject to the Ontario Municipal Board.
