'-4- w. Ottawa ]Report By SCOTT FENNELL MP (PC - ONTARIO) Fennel upset over energy InabodPolicy Inabodsense, the Liberal Governmentlias always fan- cied itself a "Great White Father", supplying ail our wants from a seemingly endless bank account. If we balk at the rising cost 0f energy, the Liberals promise to'keep the prices down, somehow. If the postal workers demand a 26 per cent increase, Andre Quellet hardly bothers to bargain. When Canadians are out of work, Mr. Trudeau pulls together sonre short term, impressive-on-paper work projeets. When they try to win elections, the Liberals pose as the little- man's patron, charging their opponents with being in the pockets of big business. Trudeau knows we're burdened with a $14 billion deficit; he knows that enery prices will continue to sky-rocket. Yet rather than face these problems square on, he cynically pays for artificial good times with our tax money. Worse, we often don't even know it. Take energy pricing, for example. The PC's 18 cent excise tax was meant to deal with rising energy costs. It would have affected one section of the public and encouragaed fuel con- servation. But for the Liberals, this was a cruel and unrealistic measure. So what does Trudeau now do He intends to tax at the refinery level and won't tell us by how much. The oil corn- panies will then have to pass this tax along to ail of us--not just the motorists--through higher oul and gas prices. This means the oul companies, not Ottawa, will be seen as the cuiprits who'Il make you pay more for a warm house this winter. WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 1 8,19 80, PAGE 9 Whi*tbyite gets 25i year pinfrom IT "Fred Musinka of lIT Can- non Electric Canada, 4 Can- non Court, Whitby, Ontario, was recently presented with his 25 years service award at a dinner held at the Sheration Centre, Toronto. Musinka was hired as a draftsman in 1955 and was promoted to quality cont.rol supervisor in 1961. From 1964 to 1967 he served as plant superintendent and was named manager, manufacturing marketing & sales in 1971. In 1975 he was promoted to general manager, the post he holds today. ITT Cannon Electric Canada, a division of ITT Industries of Canada, is a major manufacturere of commercial connectors. " SCOTT FENNELL Lloyd Axworthy's job-creation projects are another exam- pie. Instead of foregoing revenue by giving companies tax in- centives to hire our young people, he intends the use of tax dollars directly to set up short-termn programs of questionable exonomie value. But the most blatant show of cynicism is Trudeau's plan to abolish income tax indexing. Meant as a means to foot the bill for energy price subsidies, social programs and job creation, cancelling indexation means you'll be taxed for inflation. This also means the government will benefit from an inflation it created. By far, the wage-earners and low-income people will suffer most from this move. Studies already show that in 1980, those with a taxable income before exemptions of $10,000 wil see their federal tax increase by 31 per cent. Assuniing that in- flation continues to rise, by 1985 their persons with a $Q000O taxable income will experience only a 31 per cent increase over the same five year period. If the Liberals want to both control and deficit and spend freely, I suggest they simply raise taxes and take whataever political flack cornes their way. 4c 4 HUMAN POWER SAVES HORSEPOWER.
