The document though vague-sounding. on cursory, exainination (as is the case with mosi Thronc Speeches), ai lcast dcmonstratedl a cer- tain ncwfound flexibility. k Ôntario's salvation, if it is t0 have onc that wiIl lead anywhera near thme sanie fiscal neighbourhood we inhabited unoil the lare 1980t, wili be 'éentoed on business activity. It wiIl flot be centred on govcrnment acitvity, regulation, or funding. Perhaps ihe NDP govemment'is nuiting toward a revela- don regarding proper palitical stewardship in ibis province. The illuminating concept the govcrnment should be su*ing ta grasp is the following; in Ontario you can go slightly lcft of centre, or slighdy night of centre. But, as in the national' spor, you can't go offside.* T1here are elements wo bu applaudcd in the Throne Speech, and others which renew the'w1l7> uncertainty with which many view the NDP. On the plus side, a recognition that the provincial govemment must bu streamnlined thraugh staff cuis is laudable. A move ta boister job training in the welfarc sys- terr is also commendable. More worrisome is a plan ta giv *e municipal governments additional lccway to finance capital projects through bow- ing. Il appears ta bu inecly offcring thc municipalities a blank cheque, and we have strong reserations about thai. Premier Rae's rationale for this, as put forwaxd in tie Toronto Globe and Mail, offers littie conifort; lie justifies it by saying municipalities in Ontario anly owc about $3 billion ai present, while in Quebec, for exampîs, local govcrnment -resides in a colléctive $18 billion debi hole. The explanation appears ta hinge on thc premise ihat things could bu worse. Stubbornly, the NDP gave every indication of sticking ta its proposed labour law reforms, the ones business leaders have been warning an 'd whining about for months. 'Me complex question of labour law reformi deserves serious attention, wc will grani the governmrrent thait. V/c will also yield the point that there will neyer bu a gond lime ta introduce aimy such caniroverskd lavw:. But there will cmrainly bu a butter trne ihman naw, and there, are certainly more productive plans than the ane afoot. fli provincial ccononiy is at its most fragile. It docs not nced another controvcrsy of ibis nature ai preseni. V/c cur- renfly have controversy aplenîy. In a fight butween labour and management over die near terni wc will not bu so much divid- ing up the spoils of successful competitive efforts as arguing over the remainingacrapi of haîf-forgotten feasis. flic timing of ibis adventure aside, it sties us -as rrmarlcably coafrontational. l'here amt inteimi steps the governmeni c 'ould have takren which would have invôlved forcing thc parties imioa more co-operative spirit.
