Useless to protest -
federal tax grab

In mid-February Terrace city
council received a rather abrupt
letter. With no consultation or
prior warning from the Communi-
cations Canada, the city was told
there would be a 1,039 percent
‘increase in their radio communica-
tions licencing fee. They were
better off than Surrey, who was
hit with a 3,035 percent increase,
but that was little consolation.

The city was faced with a bill of
$2,452 for public works and $750
for fire department radio licences
compared to a total of about $325
for both licences in 1989,

The city wrote to the federal
Minister of Communications, the
Minister of State for Privatization
and Regulatory Affairs, the Radio
Regulatory Branch, Prince George
MP Frank Oberle and Skeena MP
Jim Fulton expressing concern
over the amount of the increase
and the lack of consultation before
implementing it.

_ At the time, alderman Ruth Hal-
lock said, "We don’t anticipate too
much success,” .and it appears: as.
though she was right. The city has
since received a letter from Minis-

ter of Communications, Marcel

Masse, who says consultations

began with municipalities in 1986,

No one in this area, though, seems

to. be aware of the consultation

_process. But according to Masse,

Robert De Cotret, the president of

' the Treasury Board, confirmed the
government’s position to remove
the preferential licencing rates for
municipalities last December, and
his government moved on the

- initiative.

. “These policies require all users
of the radio frequency spectrum to
contribute equitably to the cost of
managing this scarce public

resource," Masse said in his letter.

Action plan
for seniors |

. Over 40 seniors and health care
professionals attended a "Strong

_ Communities for Seniors" work-
shop in Terrace last week. Accord-
ing to Strong Communities in the
90’s facilitator Doug Smith, the
workshop was aimed at developing
senior’s facilities and support
services in Terrace; among the
factors considered, he said, are
housing, health care, income, trans-
portation, safety and security.

Smith says that once these fac-
tors had been defined, separate
lists of available and needed ser-
vices in Terrace were prepared,
and a tally of the results of that
exercise will be discussed futher
during a May workshop. From that
point, he says, an action plan for
developing or improving services
will then be formed.

One positive suggestion that
came out of the workshop was the
concept of a Senior’s Advisory
Commission to city council. This
concept has received support from
Terrace council and will be dis-
cussed further by the Committee of
the Whole, If formed, a Senior’s
Advisory Commission would keep
council informed on senior’s
issucs.

"Licensees should neither be subsi-
dized by other licensees nor by
taxpayers in general."

After reading the letter, alderman . |

Dave Hull pointed out that the city
was using radios for the. direct
benefit of the- city, not for profit,
and beat Hallock to the punch in
criticizing Masse’s letter by sayi-
ng, "We didn’t want clarification.
We wanited’a reduction.” A motion
to receive and file the letter was

then carried with Hallock’s ap-.

proval. Why? "It’s not going to do
any good to protest," she said. "It
will only make the pulp mills
