PORTRAITS
ATTRACT
ATTENTION.

By VIC PARSONS

. federal, government spends every year there are always
some. small attention-getters. R

Such as the $1,732.47 spent by the correctional
service to have photographs of the solicitor general hung
at 144 prisons, parole offices and district offices from
Whitehorse, Yukon, to St. John's, Nfld.

The tally was provided recently in a response to 2
written question from Robert Kaplan, the Toronto MP
who has been there, so to speak. He was a Liberal
solicitor general for more than four years in the early

_1980s. : :

Kaplan, now the Grit justice critic, asked how many
photos the service and the RCMP had displayed of then
solicitor general Elmer MacKay, the locations and the
costs involved. The RCMP, true to tradition, declined
specific answers, but the correctional service revealed
that it had paid $278.66 for the photographs, $961 for
framing jand $492.81 for distribution. The cost of hanging
the pictures: was covered under general ‘spending.

And what is the object of having so many portraits of
the minister spread about the country?

“Té promote closer relationship with the solicitor
general and the employees of the correctional service of
Canada,” the response tells us warm-heartedly. “Not
applicable.” says the somewhat chillier answer from the
RCMP. : F

Presumably, there will be a new set of portraits
going up shortly. In August, months after the question
was asked but before the answer was given, MacKay was
replaced by current Solicitor General Perrin Beatty.

NEW HUMOR

The furores over rancid tuna and cabinet resigna-
tions have provided new material for those who enjoy a
dose of humor in their parliamentary give-and-take.

At one recent immigration committee hearing, Tory
chairman Jim Hawkes started out with a preamble noting
that the session was the first since new rules of procedure
took effect.

“Aw,” complained an apparently disappointed Lorne

ly , the New D “I thought |
you were going to resigi

“It's not his turn,” quipped Quebec Tory Charles
Hamelin.

Warren Allmand objected strenuously and repeatedly to

“I don't know why he’s so cantankerous,” Rodriguez
observed. “He must have had tuna for breakfast.”

_.” Those who know Butler say he has been‘increasingly
restless in recent years. He found he had problems: with
the informal style: of former governor general Ed
Schreyer. And when Gov. Gen. Jeanne Sauve took over
she brought along many of the same staff who had served
her_when she was Commons Speaker.

Capital Notebook

Butler, who has been at Government’ House for
nearly three decades, had a reputation as a traditionalist
and his forte is efficiency — a characteristic not evident
among the new Sauve crew as they adjust to their jobs.

Apparently a personal choice of the Queen, Butler's
first big job was the 1959 royal tour which started with
the visit of former U.S. president Dwight Eisenhower to
open the St. Lawrence Seaway.

i BIG PARTY

The award for the most lavish diplomatic event of
the year undoubtedly belongs to the embassy of oil-rich
Saudi Arabia, which threw a national day party Monday
for several hundred di itici i
and the local representative of the Palestine Liberation
Organization.

There was no alcohol, of course. Saudi Arabia abides
by the Koran and booze is a.no-no — at least since
someone blew the whistle on a former ambassador, since
recalled, who used to serve alcoholic drinks to visiting
westerners.

But the food was superb. Half lobsters, breaded
shrimp, seafood tarts, rare roast beef and poultry, whole
steamed salmon, an immense variety of salads and a
dessert table that must have featured every confection
known.to man.

One year, the Saudis provided: a chocolate cake
several metres across which was a replica of a mosque.

The economic’state of poorer countries, especially
those in Latin America, however, has put a damper on
many social functions. Security fears.are another factor
contributing to the demjse of national day parties among
the diplomatic set.

years and suggesting a “levelling off” in criminal activity,
the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics reports.

The crime rate, measured by the number of offences
for every 100,000 Canadians, fell to 8,548 last year from
8,634 in 1983 and 8,946 the previous year.

Although the total number of Criminal Code offences
reported in 1984 declined by .04 per cent to 2,147,697
from 2,148, 633 in 1983, the percentage of violent crimes
increased. ‘

The centre,.a branch of Statistics Canada, reported
eight of every 100 criminal offences in 1984 were violent,
boosting the total number of violent crimes by 4.1 per
cent to 179,394 in 1984 from 172,315 the previous year.

However, the annual increase in violent crime

homicide victims for every 100,000 people. The provinces
with the highest rates in 1984 were British Columbia at
nat B40

Charges were Ihid in 71’per cent of the homicides an
80.5 per cent of the attempted murders reported in 1984,
the report said. By comparison, there were charges in
about 42 per cent of reported assaults and only 28.1 per
cent of the robberies.

There were 23,310 robberies in 1984 or 93 offences
per 100,000 population. The rate is down’ 5.1 percent
from 1983, when there were 24,274 robberies for a rate of
98 offences per 100,000 population.

The 1984 national rate for robbery with firearms was
27 offences per 100,000, down 10 per cent from 1983 when
there were 30 offences for every 100,000 people.

REMAINED CONSTANT
The rate for robbery with other weapons remained

increase. There were 714 violent crimes for every 100,000
people in 1984, up from 692 in 1!

The violent crime rate has increased steadily during
the last seven years and has climbed by 19.6 per cent
since 1975 when it was 597 for every 100,000 people.

General and sexual assaults were the most frequent

_acts of violence and accounted for 80 of every 100 violent

crimes reported in 1984. Robbery, the second most

- frequent violent act, made up 13 of every 100 violent

crimes.
GETS ATTENTION

“While the reporting of homicides is given wide
public attention—across: Canada, the number of these
offences, as a percentage of total violent crime offences, is
quite low — less than one half of one per cent,” the report
said. —
There were 621 murders, 922 attempted murders
and 42 cases of manslaughter reported last year,
compared with 625 murders, 880 attempted murders and
51 manslaughters in 1983.

During the last six years, there were on average 2.7

tant with 23 offences per 100,000 people.

Property crimes, which account for about two-thirds
of all Criminal Code offences, declined by one per cent to
1,408,663 in 1984 from 1,422,703 in 1983. *

Duririg the past 10 years, the property crime rate
has climbed by 22.2 per cent. There were 5,607 offences

_per 100,000 people in 1984 compared with 4,587 in 1975.

Historically, the number of charges laid for property
crimes has been low. At least 71 per cent of all thefts and
break and enters are unsolved.

The report on illicit drugs showed that cocaine.
offences increased significantly — by 25.8 per cent — ;
from 1978 to 1984. However, the report warned an |
increase in reported offences may reflect changes in
enforcement procedures and does not suggest a
corresponding increase in drug use.

Cannabis offences accounted for the majority of drug
offences, although the percentage fell to 79.9 per cent in
1984 from 87.9 per cent in. 1978. Heroin offences made up
1.2 per cent of total drug offences, essentially the same as
in 1978.
