"We have to .otermine where we were Fennell also said that Prime Minister Joeë Clark would have 'called parlia- ment sooner but it would be im possible to get aht the members to attend during July and August. "You see, the centre block is flot air conditioned,," he said adding that thé House of j Commons is, too hot to work in, in the summer months. "We will live up to every committment we made," Fenneli told his audience, "giv'en tirne to do them." Hie also. said that four years may flot be long enough to implement ail the Tory campaign promises. "The press doesn't want to hear us," he complained. *We're being kicked by the F'ennell told members of ýiw-local media,-that this ,es fot apply to them itvyingthat they have been ,Ius.t great" to him. *'T'he- Canadian press (as a liole) has been anxious," ae said to hear of Tory accomplishments. Fenneli said that they should flot be in such a hurry because of the Progressive Conservatives in the house, are new to the house and Most of the cabinet are also rookies., Despite this, Fenneli said that being an MP, -'is a very fulfilling job." Fenneli said that he -has spent the last three months learping- about government and trying to find the facts. and figures of the issues that the new government has to face. "If I don't know (anything about the issues, I'm flot a good representative," he said. Fenneil said that his inte- ress since going 'to Ottawa are energy, national defence and'business. .Hetold the Rotarians that the reserves only nuxnber 10,000- while before World War Two the militia had a strength of 40,000 officers and men. The objective of the Clark government is -to increase this strength to id0,000 Fennell said. "This could be done at a minimal, cost to the tax- payer," Fenneil said.. BUSINESSMAN STTFLED "The Cariadian business- man is stifled," Fennell told lis audience. "Everytimne le wants to do somnething he is stoped." Fennehi said he was b"annoyed" at the .govern- ment decision. to' order the production of the 1.5 litre A[t-drink buttle stopped.' Ie said that Imany. people, xbridge and Oshawa wil Io,~ their jobs as a result. -Vrm very critical of 'theý deci!- i ý."

" IWe have neyer pi enough attention- to, the manufacturing. industry," Fennëll said adding thai this will change under the Tory administration. "I' have a great' deal of confidence ," le said in Canada and the ability to bring, manufacturing' to the fore. HIGH LEVEL-CHANGES "We have to make changes in the established, beaucracy," Fennell said.ý He said that the govern- ment has a problemn in making these changes because they can not remnove any >civil- servant whose rank is assistant deputy minister and below. If care is flot èxcersised, "we may have a totally irteompetent group of people running the country,", Fenneli warned. Dealing with civil servants is different from dealing with his, employees as a businessman. A business- man. rewards his employees for good work with bonuses,, but these people are not paid bonuses, Fenneil said. "They have a different p oint of view," he said. "Their bonus is a bigger dep)artmnent with the ability to spend more money." Fenneil complained that the role of an MP has bëeom~e that, of a public relations man who trys to selI what the government is- doing. He said that he is opposed to this ind the MP should become more responsible in the affairs of government. "We must take the respon- sibility back to the elected -representative and away from, the technocrat," he said. LEGISLATION Fenneil said that the government will start to take on this responsibility when it introduces new législation Scott Fenneli, MP for business. "Most of this legiýIation will eliminate previous legis- lation,"-he said. The government hûùies to get rid of a lot of the red tape that small- business have found themselves confronted with, he, said. Fennell said that the bill will emphasize research and development and producti- vity.. -We have. to give the incentive to invest," he said. The new la ws will help "the great mass in the mriddle," "6the productive Canadia'ns," he said. The attitude of govern- ment that if somme does not want to work, they don't have to, has got to stop, Fennell said. "The government has to get out of privatç business, '" Fenneil said when asked CONT'D ON PAGE -9' We ýcan, lelp you get the car you want .a little sooner'than you'd planned.
