14 - Orono Weekly Tiiues, Wednesday, September 20, 1995 R-eaily, not a lot. But governiments can fos- ter a climate where the pri- vate sector can create those jobs. Canadians are reeling from job losses due to açlvances in technology, downslzing and lack of. investment. Our youth have few. opportunities upon gradua- tion. And those who are successful, in maNy cases, are underemployed. Middle-aged Canadians are also finding it hard. Downsizing has created hiavoc with their profession- aI lives. The first thing gavern- ments have to do is focus an debt and debt reduction. High public-sector debt causes interest rates to remain hlgh. This is a sure killer of business formation. Governments can also rrestructure the income tax system to foster the growth of small and medium-sized businesses. Right now the current pal- lcy of granting a $1 billion tax credit to multi-nationals for scientific research, who, I might add, have head offices outside Canada, is wrong. Tax credits of this magni- tude should be remaining in Canada and given tb small business. Next, goverinent needs to put more vitality into cap- ital markets. People should be able to invest in local businesses where they know investment asslsts. their family and communlty in Keuýndal Hall NEWS by Phyllis Lowery Once again the Kendal Band took part in the Fair Parade and once again was the onily Band. The Members of Kendal rL.O.L. 405 had a booth Just north of the arena where they sold hamburgs, hot- dogs, coffee and pop and they certainly were kept busy. The Men of Kendal L.O.L. 405 also had a booth inside the arena where they hand- ed out leaflets gîing infor- mation about the Order and they also sold tickets on a money draw. The wlnner of the $100.00 draw was, Normnan Thomas, London St., Peterborough. The wlnner of the $50.00 was Don Green, Bowmanville. The Fair Ambassador drew the win- nlng tickets. The Ladies of Kendal Hills LO.B.A. 1420 once again sponsored a candidate for creating jobs, findrng jobs and putting local resources to work. Our capital markets are too concentrated in large centres. We must retumn to community-based banking. Obviously people who are willing to ïinvest in their own communities must know their inviestmuent is protect- ed. But the fact remains current mnethods of equity financing and over-the- couinter Ifinancing 15 cum- bersome and out of reach for small businesses. This will have to be addressed by gov- emiment if we are to com- pete worldwide. Finally government fias to get out of the way of people who are prepared to start businesses. Heavy paper burdens, the Urne it tiakes to fMI out forms and duplication between dif- ferent levels of government, only fru strates and ulti- mately discourages business formation and expansion. While approximately 25,000 jobs have been cre- ated in the private sector, these gains have been wiped out by layoffs in the civil ser- vice. (This is the irony of deficit reduction.) Job creation and deficit reduction should be the pri- mary concerns of this ses- sion of Parliament. Unfortunately govemment's timne is gomng to be spent on the nonsensical debate over Quebe's separation. Let's get it out of the way 50 we can get on with the real business of nation building. Fair Ambassador and once again we sponsored the win- ner, Miss Heather Malcolmn. We wlsh her a wonderful time during her relgn, we hope that she wlll enjoy every minute of it and that she will mnake new friends.
