(A) Deputy Clerk-Treasurer "Budget leads to higher costs for the residents of Northern Ont As predicted by the Liberal Party during the November '88 election Mr. Mulroney told Canadians that social programs were sacred during the Free Trade Debate. They are reneging on their promises! It;s obvious they had a hidden agenda! They mislead the Canadian people! The more you study the Budget, the more evident it is that the process has begun to erode our social programs (Unemployment Insurance, Family Allowances, and Old Age Security). Micheal Wilson's budgetary pro- posals amount to a complete con- fession of public deception by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. They have mislead the country in order to ensure their re-election. The budget that was premature- ly leaked on April 26th was, indeed, tabled in. the House of Commons on April 27th. Personal income tax, fuel tax and transporta- tion tax are just a few of the areas where we will find ourselves being penalized for living away from urban areas, where services are not Betty Ann YOU'RE 30! as costly and are easily accessible. I am very concerned that the future of small business has been left to the discretion of the Minister for Regional Development. One thing is very clear ... costs will be higiier for residents of Northern Ontario in the year to come. Some Budget highlights are: - The $2.9 billion government contribution to unemployment insurance will be terminated January 1, 1990. The premiums of employers and employees will be increased accordingly. - Cuts to Regional Development Funding totalling $250 million: Economic and Regional Development Agreements funding will be consolidated with the newly created regional agen- cies. Priorities for funding will be established by the Ministers responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), the Department of Western Diversification (WD), the Special Northern Ontario Development Fund (FEDNOR) and the activities of Industry, Science and Technology with respect to Quebec and some parts of Ontario. - Other Cuts: - Secretary of State totalling $16 million: Official languages ($1.5 million); Women's program ($2 million); Native citizens ($3 mil- lion); Multiculturalism ($2 mil- lion); The Citizenship Instruction and Language Textbook agrce- ario" - Belair ments with the provinces will be terminated. - Canadian Exploration and Development Incentive Program will be terminated ($80 million). - Defence Industry Productivity Program ($25 million) - National Capital Commission ($5 million) - Sales Tax Measures: - Increase from 12 to 13.5 per cent of the sales tax rate ($1.6 bil- lion) - Increase from 10 the 11 per cent on telecommunication services ($110 million) - Increase from 8 to 9 per cent on construction materials ($250 million) - Increase from 18 to 19 per cent on alcohol and tobacco ($70 mil- lion) - Personal income surtax: - The surtax will increase from 3 to 5 per cent for taxpayers earning less than $70,000 ($1.075 billion). - The surtax will increase from 3 to 8 per cent for taxpayers earning more than $70,000 ($165 million). - Excise Tax Measures: - Increases in excise levies on tobacco ($975 million) - Increased excise tax on gaso- line by 2 cents per litre ($640 mil- lion) - Increased excise tax on leaded gasoline by 1 cent per litre ($20 million) THE REGULAR ~ MAY MEETING OF THE LAKE SUPERIOR BOARD OF EDUCATION Canada Day Sponsors Needed FIRST COME - FIRST SERVE We are offering area businesses the opportunity to advertise on our placemats and in our brochures. 20 Placemat Spots $50.00 each 25 Brochure Spots $25.00 each Place your advertisement by May 19, 1989 Call Freda Boucher - 825-9269 The Corporation of the Township of Terrace Bay NOTICE IS SCHEDULED AS FOLLOWS: Tuesday, May 16, 1989 6:30 p.m. Library, Terrace Bay Public School THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS WELCOME TO ATTEND!
