. Early this September, the Minister of Health and Welfare, Jake Epp, in- troduced a Bill (Bill C-70) in the House of Commons ° to de-index Family Allowances, taking away money necessary for rais- ing children. The Bill calls for the reduction of family allowances by 3 per cent, starting in /1986. New Democrats have been leading the fight in the House of Commons to op- pose this Bill and other Budget measures that will hurt families. The universal family allowance recognizes the value which society places on child rearing. It is not just an amount of money, it is a recognition that our children are the future's most valuable resource. Family allowances are paid for by all; those of us who do not have children con- tribute to the next genera- tion. Bill C-70 is an attack on children and especially on women who receive the monthly family allowance cheque. The proposed changes to family allowance are pro- of of more broken Conser- vative promises. Like pen- sions for seniors, family allowances are part of Canada's social policy, a "'sacred trust' of our social contract. Bill C-70 is indicative of the Conser- vative's following in the footsteps of their Liberal predecessors, who also eroded family allowance. By 1990, including the changes to personal income taxes and to the family benefits package, a two- earner, two-child family earning $15,000 a year will lose nearly $2,000 in pur- chasing power as a result of this Bill. A family earning $80,000 will only lose $1,125. Low income families will lose more per year than high-income families and middle- income. families will lose three. times as much 4s high-income earners. The Government, in proposing this change, argues that we have to cut back because of the deficit. How can the Conservatives say we have no money for our children when they can give a half a million dollars capital gains tax holiday to the wealthy in our country; give 9 billion dollars to the oil companies; and when they bail out the banks with a billion dollars of our tax dollars. New Democrats have proposed tax reforms Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I am looking for people across Canada who are concerned about Canadian Pacific Railways Pen- sioners losing their passes.

POM 1K0 (705) 864-0384 Falconbridge gets go ahead By David Carswell According to Anne O'Quinn of Corporation Falconbridge Copper, the company has received the go-ahead to begin work at Winston Lake, 17 miles north of Schreiber. Falcon- bridge has been running feasibility studies on its Winston Lakke property for some time now and the $7 million underground ex- ploration project has pro- duced positive results. Early indications are that the company shall begin construction immediately and production could begin as early as 1987. Copper, Zinc, Silver, and Gold have been found on the property, but it ap- pears that the main interest lies in the amount of Zinc present. The News will attempt to keep the public inform- ed as to the progress and implications of the opera- tion at Winston Lake and in the near future we hope to be able to give you figures on the number of employees Falconbridge plans to have at Winston Lake and other important information to the surroun- ding communities.

The history of family allowances is one of cons- tant erosion. Twenty years ago, family allowance represented a 6 per cent ex- penditure of Canada's gross national product. By 1973, the Liberals reduced it to 3 per cent of the gross* national product. In 1974, during the minority government years, New Democrats fought to have family allowance doubled and won. Now the Conser- vatives are attempting to take the benefit of fully in- dexed family allowances away from children and families.
