week and a half,” McCormich told MPs. “That's what we do

to survive.”

The two women, both single parents who lived on
welfare before they went to work for the council,-were the

first outside to testify on p

the Family Allowances Act.

The bill would limit yearly cost-of-living increases in
benefits to increases in the consumer price index beyond
three per cent. In other words, if the index went up four per

cent, benefits would go up only one per cent.

McCormich and Beauchamp said they can't understand
why. the federal government wants to reduce benefits for

poor families.

“I'm flabbergasted at the whole idea of attacking people

least able to defend themselves,” McCormich said.

“Enough is enough,” added Beauchamp. “We really just

don’t have any more to give.

Smoking

olution calling on owners or
managers of public buildings

ing.

resolution Monday- to pro-
hibit smoking in its’ own

ted staff lounges or in city-
