He is guest speaker, Mr. Martin by Chris Clark Local Liberals gathered last week to have a close look at a prominent rookie rookie Member of Parliament, rumoured to be a likely leadership contender when John Turner steps down. Paul Martin Jr., seen in some Liberal Liberal quarters as the party's best chance to rebuild after two national defeats, addressed the annual meeting of the Durham Federal Liberal Association last Thursday. Speaking in very general terms, the former president and chief executive officer of Canada Steamship Lines outlined outlined his vision of a strong Canada competing in an ever-expanding global market. The 1990s, he warned, will see a new kind of economic warfare take place among otherwise friendly nations. As Canada prepares for and adapts to the changing market forces worldwide, worldwide, the government "must not give in to simple-minded deficit cutting, he flatly stated. "The current debate over the future of our social policy is falsified by the way Mr. Wilson is going to play the real problem of the deficit off against the need to continue our social programs." programs." Mr. Martin was elected last year in the riding of LaSalle-Emard and since that time has been touring, the country speaking to Liberals and warming the water for a possible run for the party's leadership. His father, Paul Martin Sr., was a popular Liberal cabinet minister in the 1960s and ran against Pierre Trudeau for the leadership.. "It's an exciting time to be a Liberal," Liberal," he proclaimed to over 100 of his fellow party members gathered at the Oddfellow's Hall in Columbus. "Sixty per cent of our caucus is new and most of us think we won the election." He praised John Turner for smoking smoking out the Prime Minister during the election and forcing him to talk and explain free trade. "For the first time, Canadians began talking and arguing about the future of Canada," he said, f iving Mr. Turner the credit for this evelopment. The bilingual Mr. Martin characterized characterized the government's economic policy as "Tory greed" and said "if greed was all it took, we would have sold out long ago." "The Liberal spirit is a commitment to building new communities and strengthening old ones. It's a desire to build one nation, great among the nations." nations." On the subject of free trade Mr. Martin insisted that Liberals are free 1 traders at heart. "We don't need John Crosbie to tell us about the benefits of lower tariffs." 'We are not anti-business, but we are not prepared to leave our future to the whim of the free market. We must rise above the debate and encourage middle-sized and small businesses to expand in the world so we have a core of 25 or 30 strong international businesses." businesses." "The Tories don't understand the mechanics of world trade." The Liberals, Liberals, he noted, must develop a trade agenda which encourages world trade and does not focus primarily on increasing increasing trade with the United States. One topic on which. he was silent was the Meech Lake constitutional accord accord which currently has official Liberal Liberal support, but about which many individual individual Liberals, most notably Pierre Trudeau, have very grave concerns.

Another placard carrier joked that perhaps the group should buy some Laidlaw stock because the garbage business is so lucrative. Another wrinkle in the entire approval approval process (of which open houses for the public are a required part) is, the Consolidated Hearings Act which' gives the provincial government the power to grant all the necessary approvals approvals for industrial requests without necessarily seeking municipal or regional regional approval. Approvals by Newcastle Town Council, Durham Regional Council, the EPA, and the Ministry of the Environment Environment can be superseded by a single large-scale hearing convened by the province. Mr. Tefft stated that "we expect to be under the Consolidated Hearings Act. It's better for everyone. People here won't have to go to all sorts of hearings. We run a properly engineered, engineered, environmentally safe landfill site, but if all 1,000 or so municipalities municipalities want to start making the decision, you'll never get any sites, and it's a required required service."
