16-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, May 15, 1991 'Report from Ottawa - Ross, Stevenson M.P. for Durhant As the Hlouse of Commons resumnes this week, we begin what is known officially as the Third Session of Canada's 34th Parliament. That's not so complicated as it may sound. A Parliament is made up of the Members that yau and other voters elect at a federal general election. This 34th Parliament was elected on November 21, 1988. Each Parliament is divided into segments which are called Sessions. lI earlier times when Parliament generally sat only during the winter and spring, those six or eleven months usually madie up a Session. Nowadays, with the House af Commons not infrequently meeting during ail or part of each month of the year, Sessions often mun longer. The First Session of this Parliament met only a few daYs in December 1988, to pass the Canada-U.S. trade agreement. The Second Session bas been underwaY since April, 1989. There was a lot more ta it than the Question Periotis you may have watched an television. Much important legisiatian was enacteti, including completion of extensive renovations to the tax system which began during the previous Parliament. Unemployment Insurance was overhauled. 50 more moneY Can be used for worker training, and ta improve matemnity benefits. Our armed farces were sent ta the Persian Gulf canflict. A comprehensive farm incame protection plan was approveti, anti an enviranment Green Plan axmaunced. Controling the deficit was a major cancern, leading ta significant cuts ini federal spending anti new tax revenue mensures. Pension and RRSP tax miles were changedt t give Canadians better oppartunities ta save for their retirement years. As well, veterans Progmams were enhanced. a new Broadcasting Act was adapted, anti a new board establishedto ta investigate transportation accidents. These are just a few examples of what was accomplished dturing a very busy Second Session. Following our Parliamentary tradition, the Thirti Session apens with a Throne Speech, rend in the Senate Chamber by the Governor General, as representative of the Queen, aur canstitutional henti of state. The Throne Speech is an important ritual. lI it the gavernuient autines its legisîntive plans for the coming session. During the following days of debate opposiion parties bave an opportunity ta criticize the government's plans anti put forwarti their own proposals and individual MPs can speak on virtually any topic of cancem ta them and their canstituents. With national unity in t'he balance, this quite poablY will bc one of the most imnportant Sessions li a)ur nations history. t will be a time for same very fundarnental re-thinking of aur present constitutional structure and what we want anti can realistically try to achieve for the future. Those who follow the House of Commons closely will notice some changes have been made ta the rules which it aperates. Among other things, sitting hours wiIl be longer, but the number of days it sits will bc reduoed slightly, giving MPs more time to spend back home with their constituents. That's to meet the special needs of those Members representing ridings in eastern and western Canada. These rule changes resulted fram extensive consultaion and discussions by the House leaders of the three major political parties. The aim is ta make Parliament a more modern and efficient institution, and ta help MPs maintain dloser contact with the people who elect them. This promises ta be an extremely interesting Session of Parliament, with a great deal at stake for al of us wha care about the future of aur country.
