Despite this answer, Ashe said that the budget should have a couple of indirect af- fects. Firstly, the tax in- creases will eliminate the government's need to borrow more money, leaving those capital funds for the private sector. Secondly, Ashe said that the BILD (Board of In- dustrial Leadership and Development) program will, hopefully, encourage a development and thereby provide more jobs. own interest rates: Last week, the opposition Liberal and New Democratic Parties soundly chastised the Progressive Conservative government for doing nothing about high interest rates. Ashe said that the gover- nment, quite simply, could do nothing about it, since in- terest rates are strictly a federal responsibility because the Government of Canada controls the Bank of Canada. "Frankly,-on our own (we can do) nothing," he said, adding that only the federal government has the legislative authority to amend the Bank Act and or- der the decline of interest rates. He said that the provincial government has no authority or input in the ma tter. "They have the power and the authority to do somnething at the front end and we have nothing," the minister said. Coping with interest rates "has to be done on a national scale" and it is "exclusively" the jurisdiction of the federal government. Although Durham West residents will have to pay for the budget like other On- Ashe tarians, Ashe said that he does flot see a great deal more money being spent in the riding other than previously announced programs such as the con- struction of the L.C.B.O. warehouse and the redevelopment of the Whit- by Psychiatric Hospital.
