NDP says Parker interfered in awarding licence

VICTORIA (CP) — A_ former
forests minister interfered in the
awarding of a timber licence, then
deceived the legislature about it, NDP

forests critic Dan Miller said in the
legislature Monday.

Dave Parker, currently Crown
Lands Minister, told the house two

Parker also said the licences were
awarded based on a@ consensus
reached by ministry staff, he .

“*The ombudsman’s report of July
20 of this year and the statements of
the current minister of forests clearly
contradict that,"’ Miller told repor-
ters.

“I can’t reconcile the startling dif-
ference between Mr. Parker's version
in June of 1988 and the current ver-

i by the ombudsman and the

The "s report

that there was more merit in ap-
plications for the forest licences by
companies located in other com-
munities, Miller said.

Earlier in the house, on a point of
privilege, Miller chafged that Parker
misled the house.

Parker was not in the legislature.
Speaker Stephen Rogers will consider
whether Miller has a reasonable case.

Forests Minister Claude-Richmond
said the ombudsman’s report is
curate, but defended cabinet’s right to
overrule recommendations by civil
servants.

“It is the government's position
that duly elected members, not staff,
should make decisions where
significant social and economic fac-
tors are involved,’’ Richmond said.

Speaker finds taping
contempt of legislature

VICTORIA (CP) — The taping of
the car-phone conversations of for-
mer attorney general Bud Smith was a
grave contempt of the legislature,
Speaker Stephen Rogers said in the
house.

But the fate.of the person who
made the tapes between Smith and a
chief aide and a television reporter
remains in doubt. Brian Graves, a
former Victoria freelance radio repor-
ter, is*reported to have made the
tapes.

Rogers could call Graves before the
House for judgment and punishment
if he were found to be the person who
recorded the conversations.

But Rogers said he had decided to
“‘withhold any further consideration
of the issues for the time being,” until
investigations are completed by the
RCMP, the provincial ombudsman
and the B.C. Law Society.

Possible contempt citations against
Si . Moe Sihota, thé NDP justice
critic who released the tapes, or the
person who made the tapes, will wait
until the outcome of the in-
vestigations, Rogers said.

But he warned that his ruling
“*should not lead to the belief that the
chair has any doubt as to the status of
electronic surveillance.””

He said members of the legislature
must be free of the spectre of inter-
ception of their conver-

and Social Credit backbencher Larry
Chalmers for suggesting that the NDP
knew about the monitoring of Smith’s
phone calls for several months.

“It is a lie for anyone to suggest we
knew about the monitoring of these
phone calls for a couple of months,”’
Sihota told reporters, adding that he
would take a lie detector test to back
up his statement.

In his first interview since resigning
his cabinet post on July 19, Smith told
Kamloops reporters Monday that he
believes the NDP knew about the
tapes ‘‘for a couple of months,””

Sihota said he didn’t know about
the tapes until the third week in June.
Smith also said he won't resign his
Kamloops seat because he doesn’t

nment admits and deliver fewer
benefits than promised, the survey
shows.

And the public feels the tax dollars
raised will be wasted in bureaucratic
inefficiency — a problem 70 per cent
of Canadians feel the government
doesn’t take seriously enough.

The report, prepared by Decima
Research, was delivered June 7 to the
Finance Department and obtained by
the Ottawa Citizen on Monday under
the Access to Information Act.

The survey was done between
Jan. 9 and 15, 1990. Decima inter-
viewed 1,200 Canadians, yielding
results considered accurate within 2.9
percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

The survey found just 14 per cent
of Canadians favored the GST. Two-
thirds were opposed, and the

ining one-in-five felt neutral

The new tax, scheduled to take ef-
fect Jan. 1, 1991, will add seven per
cent to the cost of most goods and
services.

Legislation to implement the GST
has been passed by the Commons, but
a Senate committee is currently
holding cross-country hearings on the
tax.

The survey showed Candians’
dislike of the tax had been unchanged
by a controversial federal advertising
campaign praising its benefits.

Asked what worried them about the
tax, 90 per cent or more of responden-
ts admitted to at least some concerns
the GST would make things too com-
plicated for small business, hurt the
economy, make things harder for the
Poor, drive up the cost of living and
generate revenues that would only be
wasted by government.

More than four out of five respon-
dents agreed ‘‘we all have a role in
helping to fix’’ the deficit, but 62 per
cent also felt the tax money raised by
the GST would only be wasted.

When presented with a list of op-
tions of what to do about the GST,
only three per cent felt the federal
government should ‘‘go ahead ‘as
planned.”* More than a quarter felt it
should be scrapped. Most felt some
form ‘of consumption tax would be
acceptable, but only if it were
changed to be less ‘‘painful,"* and ac-
companied by efforts to cut ‘‘waste
and inefficiency."”

Canadians also did not trust the
motives of the federal government.
