In defending the GST, Mr. Stevenson said that Canada Development freeze could be four years (From page 1) They are on both sides of Union Ave., south of Victorian Village; the land on the Oshawa Road across from the Johnson Controls factory, and land on the west side of Simcoe Street, just south of Durham Road 8. Fully serviced, (sewer and water) these lands could see up to 400 new residential units. Without full services, the number of units would have to substantially reduced. And Mayor Hall points out it is not good planning to ring Port Perry with new lots on in- dividual septic systems. As for who would pay for a new sewage treatment plant (if MOE gives the go-ahead) May- or Hall said it would be in the in- terest of the owners of the devel- opment areas to make a significant contribution to- wards the $5 million price tag. In the meantime, council will be waiting to see if MOE gives approval for the new treatment plant. was virtually the only western nation that had not adopted a consumption tax. He stressed the new seven per cent tax will replace the 13.5 per cent manufacturers tax that has been in place on many consumer items. "Here in Durham Region, which depends on manufactur- ing for its heart-beat, this will be very beneficial," he said. Removing the 13.5 per cent "Indden tax" will make manu- factured goods more competi- tive on the domestic and inter- national markets.

And he said the Conserva- tives may have mis-judged pub- lic opinion in assuming that people knew they have been paying a 13.5 per cent tax "bur- ied in the price" of just about everything they bought. As for government spend- "ing levels in general, Mr. Ste- venson said that what Canadi- ans seems to want these days is "an American tax system and all the social programs that we have here.
