A164 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, April 21, 1999 MP takes cautious approach to new political party plan SKEENA MP Mike Scott says he’s willing to reform the Reform party but adds it’s too early to comment on a movement to create a na- tional right-of-centre politi- cal entity to tackle the feder- al Liberals. Scott first says more detail about the efforts of the United Alternative move- ment are needed, Reform party members are now being asked what they want to do via a mail-in bal- lot, United Alternative proponents say a new party made up of Reformers and Progressive Conservatives is the only way to unseat the federal Liberal party. ‘If I'm asked, I will be recommending to members in this riding that we at least, in this first ballot, al- low this process to continue until we have some solid proposals to vote on,”’ Scott said, Here in Skecna, Scott met with members of the con- stitwency association April 10. They decided unani- mously lo allow the process to continue, Scott said, al- though some of the execu- tive were clearly wavering. “There is some trepida- tion as to whether this is the tight thing to do,’’ Scott said. “'There’s people that are honestly saying I’m not comfortable with this, I’m not sure we need to do this, I don’t want to lose the name and the identity of the Reform party. And that’s fair.” Two years ago, members gave Reform leader Preston Manning overwhelming support to explore the idea of combining forces with another party as a means to avoid vote splitting and gain more seats. That conid have resulted in a whole new federal political party, but a merger Popular subsidy A GOOD number of employers are already inter- ested in the 1999 version of the provincial government’s summer youth employment subsidy program. And indications are the program will provide sub- sidies for more than 230 jobs in the northwest, says Sandy Bullock of Northwest Community College, which has the contract for the Stu- dent Summer Works pro- gram. Last year the program estimated it would help cteate 233 jobs and topped that amount by three, said Bullock, “‘Highty-six per cent of those jobs were with small business — 15 employees or less — and that’s where the jobs of the future will be,” she added. The idea of the program is to provide work experience for students who are at least 15 years of age, have gone to an educational institution © in the last year and who are returning in the fall, An employer receives a subsidy of 50 per cent of a student’s wage to a maxi- mum $4 an hour. Part time jobs are eligible but students must work a minimum of 20 hours a- week and a minimum over- al] of 150 hours. Terrace accounted for 55 of the 236 jobs administered by the college last year from the Queen Charlotte Islands to Houston, up north to the Yukon and as far south as Kemano, Bullock noted that at least half of the students who worked last year were. at least 20 years old, Employers are encouraged with the federal Progressive Conservatives was turned down flat by leader Joe Clark, Lately, some Reformers — even caucus members — have made headlines by ex- pressing strong opposition to the proposed changes. But Scott stresses that the upcoming vote only asks members whether they want to ‘continue exploring the idea. If they agree, they'll vote on a firm proposal sometime in the future. “T° think some of our members are getling a little bit ahead of themselves,’ Scott said. ‘‘We haven’!
