WFITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1980, PAGE 21 MM MM Questionnaire CONT'D FROM PG. 20 Dickerson Beaucracy can always be reduced if responsible ac- tion is followed. In business we cail it Oie KISS method - short for Keep It Simple Stupid. In other words, simplify forms to be completed and Oie han- dling of Oiem upon return. Fenneil We promised in Oie last election that we would take steps to reduce both the presence and cost of the federal governnient both by attribution of 60,000 federai employers by 1983 and through improved financial procedures. The reduction will not impair Oie ability of Oie federal government to provide essential services nor will it be achieved at the expense of individuai employees. It is estimated that some 36,000 employees leave the Public Service each year. It is our assessment Oiat we should still be able to hire up to 2 persons for every three Oiat retire or otherwise choose to leave Oie Public Service. We have been studying ways to implement the Lambert Commission recommendations and some of its recommendations are already in place, classification procedures are being reviewed, a comprehensive Bill for Sunset and evaluation proicedures was ready for introduction to Oie House, steps to prevent future cost overruns on major projects and to ensure that Oie project managers are responsible for keeping projects within their limita have been taken, 19 decen- tralization schemes have been deferred and Oie whole Cabinet structure was reorganized to ensure sound financial planning and management within Governinent. The necessity of such measures was clearly evid- ent and unavoidabie because of Liberal financial mismanagemnent. When my collegues and I took of- fice, with only two mont.hs of the current fiscal year elapsed, 50 percent of the country's reserve funds were committed. The budgetary deficit was out of control, Oie accounts of Canada were in disarray, expenditure control systems on many capital projects had completely broken down, and Oie federal government was committed to some quite untenable fincanciai situations. Under *P.C. Leadership Canadian taxpayers will continue to look forward to reduced federal gover- nment spending and federal government employees will continue to look forward to a more productive, satisfying work place. Posmo Libertarians believe, with most Canadianis, that goverument bureaucracy has reached staggering levels. The question then becomes how to decrease the bureaucracy. Libertarians propose a 10 per cent across-the-board annual reduction of superfluous government agencies such as the Milk Marketing Board etc., etc., until oniy the most pertinent depar- tments remain. Please recali Proposition 13 in California where taxes were drastically cut and governrnent services maintained. JOHN BANDURCHIN chorter.dAccountant 185 Brock St. N.

Rallier than axe bureaucrats - wily nilly - 1 suggest that duplication of services could be elimninated by decentralization of federal services. Not only would decentralization give many communities a shot in the arem economically, but it would also mean answers to questions immediately. Wbat short-term steps would your party take to help somne of Canada's ecomonlc problem? Carrel I The only path forward for the workers and broad masses of the people is to wage tit-for-tat struggle against every attack of the rich and their state and to wage these struggles with the perspective of Making the Rich Pay for the Crisis. This is necessary if the workers are to prevent themnselves fromn being completely ground under by the ail- sided attacks of the rich and if they are ever to take the offensive to bring about a revolutionary and lasting change in the situation. The economic ills of our society will flot be ended until tahe monopoly capit.alists and foreign imperialists are ex- propriated and their property, the principal means of production, is turned into social property and used to rn-eet the needs of the working class and broad masses of the people instead of the profits of a tiny minority of Oie rich. Only the Programme to Make the Rich Pay for the Criais holds a bright future in store for the people. Dickerson The party's steps will be outlined by such people as Pierre Trudeau and Herb Gray during Oie coming days. Howçver, I feel that the first priority of a new Liberal government will be to re-convene Oie House in short order and introduce a budget which will in- spire confidence in both consumers and business.

By falling to at- tack the problem's root, their oniy effect is cosmetie. Instead, we have supplemented our long-term proposais with some intermediate ones meant to bridge the gap between the Liberal's approach and ours. For example, in the budget, we introduced Small Business Development Bonds whlch would help small businesses cope with the temporarily high interest rates by cutting nominal interest rates ini haif.
