VIEWPOINT

by
JIM FULTON
Skeena MP —

* The only sure things in Ife are death and taxes - that is
unless you-are Lalking about major corporations operating
in Canada,

: This government's policy of throwing money willy-nilly at
faltering corporations and thelr development of truck-size
loopholes for large companies means we have effectively
done away with that old axiom for our corporate glants,

* And ils average Canadians who are footing the billfor this
free ride on the tax system.

‘ Corporate contributions to the total federal tax ple have
now dropped from 20 per cent to 17 per cent, Tomakeup the
difference, individuals are now paying 43 per cent of the tax
bill through personal income tax as compared to only 24 per
cent.in 1951,

It is now estimated that corporate tax loopholes are
draining more than $6 billion per year from the public
purse. That's #6 billion that has to be made up out of your

% The old idea was that tax breaks for snajer corporation
were a good thing because they pay off in more investment
in Canada and more jobs for our workfarce.

« However, now. that profit levels have returned to pre-
fecessionary levels, corporations operating in Canada are
investing their money outalde of the country or in mergers
at a rate that has never been seen before in Canada.
Weedless tosay, neither of these practices create any jobs
for the over 1% million unemployed workers inCanads,
= What we need is a brand new approach to government
assistance programs to ensure that Canadians profit from
thelr public investments, Tax incentives must be a major
domponent in that new approach, but we can no longer
afford to give blanket exemptions to companies which are
contributing nothing to the well-being of our country.

‘Ifa company buys Canadian, invests in Canada’s future,
trains Canadiana and creates new jobs for Canadians, it.
deserves our public support, But if a company is simply
wing cur porous tax system to skim profits for foreign
inveatment, ve shouldn't be obliged to help them doit,

‘Tax regulations must be used as a tool to improve
economic conditions for Canadians, not as a sophisticated
mechanism for large corporations and banke to dodge their
responsibilities. ,

Now,.more than ever, we need government inltlatives
which give direction to our recovery and ensure a sound
future for young Canadians.

Reforming our tax system wouldn’t be a bad place start,

VICTORIA REPORT

by
FRANK HOWARD Skeena MLA

Two weeks ago Statlatics Canada announced B.C, had
suffered a ‘major surge In unemployment.

At 15.5 per cent, B.C, has the ‘second highest
unemployment rate in Canada.

B.C, is themly province which has shown no improvement
in the unemployment figures since the depth af the
recession in 1982.

There la a grave danger that B,C. may have missed the
boat, Even the Minister of Finance was forced to admit, In
his budget address, ‘we may be forced to undergo ancther
painful recession without having fully recovered from the
last one,” -

‘Setting aside all partisan consideration, itis time that we
serlolaly reevaluate the economic pollcies which have
produced stagnation In B.C.

Put simply-the government cannot continue to take
more money ot of the economy in the form of higher taxes
and put less back in in the form of services or supportive
financing without continued deterioration,

Last week the government sald it had diabanded Its
committee a1 employment development, This: committee
‘was featured prominently in the 1963 election campaign,
but the initiative hes fizzled and the committee died
following the vote.

There have been savers cutbacks in training programs of
all kinds, at the college, technical institute and university
level. ;

Federal-provincial employment programs have been
allowed to lapes. In séme cases Ottawa has carried on
alone; in other casea the programs have terminated.

Something is needed on the wealth production economic
development side in order to atimulate business activity
and jobs in cur province today.

But we cannot hope to achieve anything in lerms of
employ ment creation until the government recognises that
the problem exists.

‘The proposal f put forward for the further processing of
aluminum in our area is an example of wealth production.

Liberal convention wide. open

Two Liberal leadership candidates, Energy Minister
Jean Chretien and Employment Minlater John Roberts,
tried todispel the notion Monday thatno one has.a chance bh
beat John Turner, oe

“It’s very evident after the weekend in Toronto that the
convention is wide open now,” Chretien told reporters In
Ottawa. .

Chretien and the other five leadership candidates
attended a weekend meeting of Ontario Liberals In Toronto,
giving party foot-soldiers a chance to scrutinize the
nominees’ personalities and policies. >

Chretien said he was heartened by the reception he
received of Turmer’a home turf.

“It wassupposed to be very difficult for me to move In. It
turned out to be good."

. While Chretien may be confident, some people in his
home town of Shawinigan, Que., are mora skeptical about
the chances of their native son.

Qn a recent local radio open-Iine program, support for
Turner was twice that for Chretien.

Roberts, speaking in Halifax, was also acting confidently,
saying he believes he ranks third in mapper behind Turner
and Chretien,

B.C. will face teacher shortage

VICTORIA (CP) — Britah Columbia will have a massive
teacher shortage within three years, according to an
unpublished government report, .

The report, prepared for the Education Ministry by B. c.
Researchat the University of British Columbia, forecaste a
aborlage of 1,600 teachers —- 1,160 elementary and 450 -
secondary teachers — by 1987 and says the problem will be
worse in the following years,

Dick Melville, Education Ministry information services
director, said nelther he tor deputy minister R.J. Carter ’
had seen thé report, He said it is unlikely that Education
Minister Jack Heinrich had seen it elther,

Although Melville sald he thought it was probably an-
internal working document, the report is published
anmually and is available to the public,

ae teachers’ shortage will mean B.C. may have to hire -

from quiside the province, Univeraity of Victoria education ©
ohn Jackson said Monday, .

He sald B.C.'s three universities, hit with severe funding
cutbacks, almply cannot produce enough teachers to meet
the need. ;

The report takes into account both restraint and an.
tnerense in pupil-teacher ratios, About 1,200 teachers .
graduate annually from UBC, Simon Fraser University and |
the University of Victoria. .

Jordan salutes

AMMAN (AP) — A 21-gun
salute echoed from - this
ancient capital's seven hills
Monday as King Hussein

- welcomed Queen Elizabeth

onher first visit to Jordan —
a trip almost called off over
fears for the Queen's life.

The jetliner carrying the
Queen, 67, and Prince
Philip, 63, landed at Marka
military airfield on the
northern outskirts of

Amman just before noon,

They were grected by
Hussein, 48, and hls
American-born wife, Queen
Noor, 32,

The two monarchs stood
at attention while thelr
national anthems were
‘ played, reviewed a military
honor guard, then aped aif
‘in a motorcade to lunch’at
the royal palace,

It was the Hirat
engagement of a five-day

. visit that was to take Queen,

Elizabeth and Phillp to the
Red Sea port city of Aqaba
and the 2,000-year-old ruin
of Potra,

"This visit to Jordan
tulle a ifelong ambition,’
the Queen sald ina tonstata

state banquet given by
Hussein.

She praised Hussein has
having made Jordan a
“beacon of stability” in the
turbulent Middle East.

Hussein, in his toast, said;
‘This day will be recorded
in the history of Jordan... It
crowos the friendly
relations between our two
peoples and- will be
treasured for a long time to
come,”

“Although the B.C: Teaches’ Federation estimates there
are between 6,000 and 8,000 teachers currently unemployed,
Jackson said the shortage predicted in the report — B.C.
Teacher Demand and Supply Projection, 1965-1002 — may
be conservative due to the spiralling birth rate,

He zald the report's findings concur with studies done by
the univeralty.

The provincial government's five-per-cent reduction in
university spending makes it difficult. for education
faculles to plan properly, Jackson said. He noted that with
the cutbacks having to be made up by Increased tuition fees
and changes in programs, any further reductions would be
dangerous.

Jackson sald there has been a 6.0-per-cent drop in the

numberof students enteritig the final professional year -

education program at the University of Victoria because
students are reluctant to risk spending a fifth year in

" university without the prospect of an immediate job.

David Rees, ‘director of the education ministry . data

expected to be released shortly. .
