Blenkarn ends

OpP

osition stall

on GST debate

OTTAWA (CP) —- Don Blenkarn
banged his gavel late Tuesday night
and ended a 31-hour-long slumber
party on Parliament Hill, blocking
opposition attempts to stall the
proposed goods and services tax.

“I terminated it,”’ the portly Tory
chairman of the Commons finance
committee said with a deep belly
laugh

Liberal and New Democrat MPs,
speaking in shifts and armed with
pillows and blankets, had talked
around the clock to try and stop the
Mulroney government from curtailing
finance committee debate on the
Proposed seven per cent tax.

But Blenkarn declared enough was
enough, ending the circus over howls
of protest from opposition members
of the committee.

“Nobody died and made you
God,’’ cried New Democrat MP Ross
Harvey. ‘‘The chair cannot rule that
the moon is made of green cheese and
make it so.""

Blenkarn’s abrupt move sets the
stage for open warfare in Parliament
as opposition MPs promise an all-out
campaign to stop the Conservatives
from ramming sales-tax legislation
through Parliament

“It takes two to tango, and if he
wants to be the terminator and be
heavy handed in this thing, well two
can play the game,’ said Lorne
Nystrom, the NDP finance critic

He believes the government, run-

ning last in public opinion polls, will
bash the sales tax through the Com-
mons before Easter without amy
regard for public outrage. It is
scheduled to be implemented Jan. 1.

Opposition MPs are expected to
challenge Blenkarn’s move today,
asking Commons Speaker John
Fraser to overrule it

Fraser was a member of the Com-
mons justice committee in June 1984
when the former Liberal government
used the same tactic to end a three-
day filibuster by New Democrat MP
Svend Robinson.

Blenkarn’s unilateral action
Tuesday blocks any more witnesses

from appearing before the finance

committee.

The Liberals and NDP_will get one
minute each to debate any proposed
ammendments and the committee will
send the legislation back to the Com-
mons by March 29.

Then the Commons wilt vote a
third and final time on the goods and
services tax and send it to the Liberal-
dominated Senate for approval.

Blenkarn made no apologies for
lowering the boom on the opposition.

“Quite honestly, this is a pretty,
pretty poor group,”’ he said. ‘Their
attitude is mess it up, wreck it, make
no concrete ammendments.””

Liberal MPs tried to challenge
Blenkarn’s ruling, but the motion was
easily voted down by the Conservative
majority on the finance committee.

Teachers urged to
block referendum

VANCOUVER (CP) — B.C.
teachers were urged Monday to ‘‘do
whatever is necessary’’ to block the
government’s proposed referendum
for education spending.

“} think they shoulid-be prepared
to do what ever they have to do to
protect the rights of children,” said
Kitty O'Callaghan, president of the
Canadian Teachers’ Federation

“That can range from lobbying,
sending letters, to advertising to ac
tual job action strikes would fit
into that.”’

The leader of the 225,000-member
organization said teachers must stop
Education Minister Tony Brummet’s
block-funding proposal, which would
require school districts to hold

referendums if they require more
money than the province allots each
school district.

O'Callaghan told about 600
delegates at the B.C. Teachers’
Federation annuat meeting that “this
continuing undermining and bashing
of the education system must stop.””

B.C. federation president Ken
Novakowski said the federation has
not-considered a strike. But he said
the federation wants a meeting with
Brummet to discuss its opposition to
the block-funding plan

The federation postponed until
next year a decision on whether to af-
filiate with the B.C. Federation of
Labor or the Canadian Labor
Congress.

Two ministries given
$70 million more

VICTORIA (CP) — Two gover-
nment ministries will be given almost
$70 million more than budgeted this
year to cover expenses for the last few
weeks of the current fiscal year

The Social Services Ministry —
which was authorized by the
legistature to spend $2.9 billion — will
be given an extra $50.4 million, while
the Health Ministry authorized to
spend $1.37 billion — receives an ad-
ditional $18.7 million

The two ministries, like all other
governmént ministries, had their
budgets approved by the legislature
last year and spending limits were set
ai that time. But cabinet issued special

warrants to the two ministries last
week. Such warrants allow the gover
fment to dip into its consolidated
revenue fund for money over the
amount approved by the legislature.

The extra money for the Social Ser.
vices Ministry is’ needed for
‘utilization increases relating to both
land and air ambulance services, the
reinstatement of B.C. Government
Employees’ Union employee benefits,
and negotiated wage and benefit in.
creases for grant funded agencies."”

The Health Ministry needs the extra
funding for increased drig costs for
seniors, licensed care facilities and
universal plans.
