sec tion ol the root to come apart Make government sm Liberal leader suggests By JOHN WROE Examiner Staff Reporter Democrmy is doomed if gov ernment continues to become less responsive to people says Ontario Liberal leader Smith In North America more and more people are taking the at titude that government is irrel evant that it doesnt matter who runs the country things Stuart SMITH TELLS STUDENTS will keep going be told about 150 members of the Barrie Kiw anis Club and representatives from the city of Barrie and sur rounding townships With this type of attitude growing it wouldnt take much Will force election on hospital closings The closing of the Goderich and Timmins psychiatric hos pitals has set mean health in Ontario back 50 years says Stu art Smith Ontario Libeiral lead er and he is even prepared to lorce an election if any future health cost cuts are in the same vein Speaking to about 1000 Barrie high school students at East view Collegiate Monday after noon Dr Smith criticized Premier William Davis for leaving the people of Ontario in the dark about health spending and sug gcting that the Liberals and the New Democratic Party are con stantly threatening the govern ment with nonconfidence votes It would have to serious issue before would call non confidence vote But the threat did make is that if more meti tal health centres were clased such as Timmins and Goderich only to cover tip monumental planning deficiencies by the Da vis governmentl would call for vote But dont want to force the people of Ontario into another election If Davis wants to call one though Ill be willing and think the Liberals could win BREADbe MISTAKES Cuts in Ontario health spend ing should have been made in large metropolitan hospitals and not in smaller community insti tutions Dr Smith said agree with the fact that health costs must be cut but think health minister Frank Mil ler has made some dreadful mis takes in doing the actual cut ting he said Dr Smith also criticized the Progressive Conservative govern ments attitude to making the cuts Premier Davis comes across as being the only man strong enough to drastically cut cons he said When or Stephen Lewis the NDI leadcrl criticize the cuts he says we are not strong enough to do it Not that like being lumped with Mr Lewis Ilovcver all the wiiilc when he is saying how strong his government is he is ceicring tip the fact that the cuts are necessary because of atrocious planning by the PCs in the first place Responding to students ques tion Dr Smith explained that he saw better solutions to cu ting the hospital budget and did not like the governments high handcd attitude of simply tell ing people what to do One way would have been to gather hospital administrators in certain area and say We ve simply got to cut so much from the budget he said Then the local authorities who cottage may also quality An individual making around 10000 could realize yearly tax savings of $300 As well the money deposited to the Plan earns good interest You can find out about the Canada Trust Home Ownership Savings Plan through handy booklet available at our branches But hurryyoull have to act now to save on 75 income tax TAX SAVINGS OPPORTUNITY if youre wage camer you can start smiling because Canada Trust Retirement Savings Plan can probably save you bundle on income tax while you sock away money for the future Say for example youre married With two dependent children and make around $15000 you could save as much as $1000 on 75 income tax And if both hus band and wife are income earners both can set up Plan Short of cash We can probably help you start Plan and get your deduction against 75 income tax with Canada Trust Retirement Savings Loan In most cases it can be arranged right on the spot and with no red tape Even if youre already in pension plan at work it makes sense to take advantage of this tax saving since company pension may not be enough to guarantee you comfortable retirement on its own With Canada Trust Retirement Savings Plan theres no sales commission to pay and your money isnt locked in forever In fact should you decide to forget the whole thing you can get your money out But if you do youll have to pay the appropriate income tax We also have handy booklet explaining all about the Canada Trust Retirement Savings Plan Call or drop in and get the details But as with tax savings opportunity youll hava to act now to save on 75 income tax have some knowledge what is needed in the community have some say in just where the cuts should be and fewer people get hurt This of course has always been the PCs attitude toward the people of Ontario They tend to tell the people whats good for them instead of finding out the peoples feelings first Dr Smith also criticized what he called the governments pol itical gifis to communities which often took the form of hospitals There is the case of Hanover which got fine new hospital but the government didnt tell the people of the surrounding small communities that they would have their hospitals closed And often the small hospitals are very efficiently rim and dont have the huge amounts of waste associated with larger hos pitals Of course there is bigger saving by closing 50 beds of 300de hospital because of the costs of heating building So the small communities which often have hospital as the heart of the town are the ones to suffer Mr Smith also defended the federal governments wage and price controls after student questioned the credibility of pa rty which argued against con trols then turned around and imposed them for one rabblerouser to stand up and say Whats the point of all this Lets just get rid of the whole system We are minority in the world you know The trend is toward less dem ocracies not more It could happen here Dr Smith spoke on this sub ject to emphasize what he says is need for decentralization of government He was concerned mostly with the provincial gov ernment saying that the feder al government was not the type to be as closely involved with individuals as the provincial There is need to get gov ernment back to the people and reduce the size of the central government Of course there al ways must be province wide standards but government must be made smaller and power and money should be put into the hands of local organizations That way the individual can feel in closer touch with his govern ment WRONG WAY He felt that the Progressive Conservative government had seen the need for decentraliza tion and reacted by forming re gional governments But those were not enjoyirf any success because the PCs had gone about it the wrong way What they figured on was forming the regional govern ments then handing oier the money and decision making pow er when things began running smoothly explained Dr Smith However when the people of the regional municipalities got more government btit no irore power they rejected the idea They saw the regional govern ment take over power which had belonged to the local municipal ities The only way can see to make the regional goiernments work is to take the power and the money to the areas and say Here it is Decide for yourselves how to use it That way think we will tinl the people of the region willing to work together Dr Smith pointed to urban sprawl surrounding Toronto as aller cas such as the quality of life demonstration of the need for decentralization of the govern ment as well as the industry of Ontario He mentioned that choice farmland some thing which will become more important as food resources start dwindling is being turned in to parking lots to help feed the urban sprawl SPRAWL SUBSIDIZED And the government of Ont ario is indirectly subsidizing this urban sprawl by its aid to the provinces transportation system Consider that person would not live in suburb any dis tance from his place of work if he did not have means of getting to work fairly quickly YOu are beginning to run in to that problem in Barrie where the city is becoming Toronto dormitory People would not live here and travel to Tor onto each day if they had to spend two hours travelling one way While one can extoll the benefits of rapid transit sys tem which gets people out of their cars one must consider the effects it has on other ar in an urban centre Dr Smith also criticized the provincial governments treat ment of municipalities in the area of restraints He said so far all restraints had done was to put more money in the hands of the government and put greater burden on the munici pal taxpayer have said and the Conser vatives have said that the property tax is unfair but still they expect municipal mill rates to make up for the reduc tion in provincial funding There must be another solution such as having portion of the in come tax earmarked for use by municipalities Dr Smith said he had no pro gram as yet for decentralization simply the knowledge that it must come about am just ask ing all of you for thought he concluded because government must get smaller and closer to the people or in 10 years we may be facirg very ugly scene mule USE THE GOVERNMENTS OWN RULES TO SAVE BUNDLE ON INME TAX TAX SAVINGS OPPORTUNITY Many people are eligible for this tax savings opportunity so there should be smilesaplenty Husbands where the family home is in their wifes name income earning wives where the family home is in their husbands name And all apartment dwellers and others who dont own home This tax savings opportunity is called Canada Trust Home Ownership Savings Plan and the money you deposit in this Plan is tax free if you eventually use it to buy home or home furnishings Dunlop at Memorial Square 7261848 ACT BY ARCH TO SAVE ON 75 INCOME TAX WE RE OPEN THIS SATURDAY
