ROGER WORTH Syndlca ted Columnist Sometimes, the .gov- ernment bureaucracy, works the way it should. Consider ottawa's $3,000 Home Ownership Stimulation grants, de- signed- to assist'people purchasing new homes as, well as first-time home buyers. Téns of thousands of happy Canadians have already taken advantage of the program, and most of them report fast, fast action on their applica- tions. In fact, the cash is usually available within weeks, allowing the prospective homeowner to use the money the day the actuai.real estate deal is finalized. .The system is working so well that, in at least one situation, the pur- chaser ^had the $3,O0 cheque within 10 days of submitting. the applica-- tion, including delivery by Canada Post. What's mor e, the bureaucrats are actually breaking their own rules to facili- tate clients who meet the intent, if not the let- ter, $0f" the laws apd regulatio ns governing the program., For, people who have coma to regard govern- ment as a- gigantic, bureaucratic monster, such service is-a'heady exparience indeed. Neverthalass, there is a very good reason for ail this uncharacteristie aefficiency. With 1-.5 mil- lion Canadians unem- ployed, this is one of the faw high-profile govern- ment programs that works and, for once, the politicians ,weran't about to be pushed around by the mandar- ins. Ail too often, taking advantage of govt-rn- ment programs is s0 clutterad with red tape that costly professional advice is raquirad, to say nothing of the lost tima, frustration and aggravation caused' by rapeated delays and saamingly inane follow- up questions. Just ask any indivi- dual operating a small business. Two years ago, for example, Ottawa an- nounced a programn to provide low-cost boans for expanding small firms. It took more than six months for the man- darins to get the plan in place.' Thent,- afte r a relatively -succ'essful run, the,,program was. essentially scrapped, only to be raplaced by a* similar'plan announcad in Junie. Again, it, has taken the, mandarins' several months. to get the plan worki'ng. But lUs not only incen- tive plans that, bother entrepreneurs. _ Small businasses are besieged by civil servants writing latters or showing Up at the front door ready to inspect the shop or audit the books. What's bothersome is that small business has real potentiai to create a great many 0of the jobs we so badly need, yat the inïvariably busy- ownars and managers are continuaily harass- ed by governument, workars. On the other'. hand, the systamn can- operate reasonably and"- affîciently, as the suc-. cesý,of the homeowners' grant program proves. Perhaps it is time al civil servants started acting as if individuals mattered. After ail, as. taxpayers, in thaory at' le ast,, we're their,' bosses.
