The Conservatives intend © ta ignore other bills before the Commons to press for passage of the tax credit plan before Dec, 21 so that home-owner's will be able to claim the first benefits when they file their 1979 income tax forms next year. Initially, the plan would provide maximum benefits of $375 a family, The ‘maximum credit would rise to $1,500 a year for the 1992 tax year. a Crosbie estimated that 3.8 million of Canada’s 9.4 million househelds would benefit from the plan, with the average benefit being $690 a year once it went into full force. About 1.1 million home- owners. would receive nothing because they pay no federal taxes, and 4.5 million others, mostly tenants, would also be excluded. - Crosbie estimated the cost of the plan at $575 million in lost revenues this year and $2.88 billion in 1982 — somewhat higher than his original 1992 estimate of $2.3 . billion. Liberal housing critic Lloyd Axworthy flatly rejected Crosbie’s description of the legislation as a $575-million Christmas present for home-owners and predicted instead that mil- lions of families will get nothing but coal in their Christmas stockings. “What we have for 44 . television that the government does nat Intend to back up an inch on this law,” hesaid, calling the walkouts ‘useless and irre- sponsible,” Levesque noted that the strike -had been originally called for Noy. 13, the day before. three provincial byelections — a “eynicaily olitical’? date, he said, - cause negotiations were progressing. al e Then, using a chalkboard in the manner that first made him famous as a commentator more than 20 years ago, the premier listed all’the things the government has osfered. “Some people already say our -offers are excessive, Sometimes even I think: they’re excessive,” he snid, adding that any further “concessions by the govern. — ment might weigh heavily on a taxpayers.”’ . But while he came d hard on unions defying the ‘law, Levesque had pralse for a recent statement by Fernand Daoust, chief negotiator for the common, front’s Quebec Federation of Labor, which decided to obey the anti-strike law. ' “] think what just came out of the QFL’ through Daoust more or less em- phasizes that the strike weapon should not be used prematurely or irrespons- ibly as it now is," he told re- porters. ‘ Monday's charges were laid against unions rather than union members, because it is more difficult to prove individual strikers are breaking the law, the justice department spokesman said. However, two people were arrested, after a con- frontation with police at one Montreai hospital, including CNTU activist Michel Chartrand. Chartrand pleaded not guilty in municipal court Monday on charges of disturbing the peace, public mischief and assaulting police.
