LUCIEN BOUCHARD

Kids ‘change your
attitude to life

OTTAWA (CP) — Lucien
Bouchard has played many roles in his
career, from Parti Quebecois adviser
to Tory powerbroker. Now he hopes to
take on what could be the most
challenging of all.

Bouchard and his wife are expecting
their first child in late December, and
he seems more excited about the
prospect of becoming a father than
about his rise to ¢ as a

shown an interest in it.
He was known in Quebec as! a

federal cabinet minister
"s very high on: the

“‘Imagine\ at age 50, becoming a
father for the first time."” Bouchard
and his wife Audrey, who is in her early
30s, were married last spring.

But in conversation, Bouchard
comes across as an idealist who has

and who is worried about the future of

“When you have kids, or are expec

toward life,” he says. “When you have

When that option was defeated in «

cluded that the best course was to fight
for Quebec within the federal system.

His shift to the Tory banner was one
of the more dramatic conversions in
Canadian politics. Because of his
stature in Quebec, he made it respec
table for other moderate nationalists
to support the Conservatives.

Some say his victory in the Lac-St
Jean byelection in June 1988 set the
stage for the Tory landslide in Quebec
in the national election a few months
later

Proposed taxation
on house sales
under fire

OTTAWA (CP) — The Canadian
Real Estate Association says it is ap
palled Don Blenkarn would seriously
consider collecting the federal gover-
nment’s proposed sales tax every time
ahouseis sold

Such a move would prevent many
families from buying larger houses,
hurt the housing market and tax the
largest single investryent—for—mrost
Canadians, the association said in a
news release.
chairmah of the Com
mons said last
week he is considering recommending
Finance Minister Michael Wilson

goods and services tax on sales of

existing houses.

Wilson has already proposed taxing
new Houses, but he would exempt
existing ones

Bill Hopkins, a Brantford, Ont.,
real estate agent, said real estate agents
fear Wilson could be tempted to tax
sales of existing houses as a way of
reducing the proposed nine-per-cent
rate.

“We would certainly hope that our
actions would persuade him not to im
plement this,” said Hopkins, a vice
president of the real estate association
“This is the last bastion of the general
public . . . to have some form of an in:
vestment that is not taxable, and their
house certainly is an investment.”*

The Commons finance committee is
recommending Wilson

considering
adopt a proposal by the

Development Institute to charge tax on
residential housing.

Under the proposal, Wilson would-
collect tax on the difference between
what someone pays for a house and the
price he receives on the sale of an
existing house

For ‘instance, a person selling a
house for $200,000 and buying a house
for $250,000 would pay_atax-on_the
difference — $50,000.

The real estate association said
taxing existing housing would en-
courage Canadians to remain in their
existing homes and would especially
hurt first-time house buyers forced to
pay tax on theentire price.

“Quite apart from these
siderations, the proposal is an ad
ministrative disaster, which is ob-
viously why no other country has tried
to tax used residential property,"’
Maurice Faraggi, president of the real
estate association, said in the prepared
statement

The Urban Development Institute,
representing about 600 commercial
and residential property developers,
has estimated Wilson could collect
between $1 billion and $2 billion in ad
ditional revenue annually by taxing all
sales of housing

That would mean a drop of between
