The government has also found another $100 million for Via

In the April budget, the government said Via would get $250 million from the federal treasury in 1993, down from $540 million the rail service is get ting this year. But the government has raised the subsidy to $350 million by 1993.

The trains apparently spared at the last minute include the Adlantic linking Halifax and Montreal via Saint John, N.B., which now will operate three times a week

The southern Ontario communities of Brantford, Burlington, Sarnia and Niagara Falls will keep their trains but ata reduced frequency

There will be one Toronto-Van couver train via Edmonton op@ping three times a week instead of weekly and a run between Jasper, Alia., and Prince Rupert, three times a week. The Calgary-Vancouver train will operate only in the summer as a tourist venture

Via president Ron Lawless said

SAINT JOHN, N.B. (CP) Tuesday was not a good day for Dave Barrett

— premier could make his speaking debut as an NDP leadership candidate, the head of the party’s Quebec wing took what would be the first of several shots at him over the day

Paul Cappon told a Montreal news conference the unilingual Barrett is out

Briefly

2,761 employees will lose their jobs, mainly in the new year. Unionized workers will be cut to 2,102 from the present total of 5,735. Non-union workers will be cut by 659 to 1,565

Via's Montral headquarters will be cut in half‘ to 691 employees from 1,275, Lawless said in a statement

PROMISES BENEFITS

He said employees to be laid off will receive generous separation’ allowan- ces and benefits which will cost Via.a total $140 million,

Via trains are expected to carry 6.8 million passengers this year but that will drop to 4.1 million next year because of the cuts. The figure would rise to 4.4 million in 1993, Lawless said

Prime Minister Brian Mulroney told reporters today he expects the cuts will cost his government votes in the next election

“It’s generally acknowledged that when you cut anything in Canada, any expenditure, you get some heat . . . he said before the measures were announ ced

Lawless said trains in the Quebec City-to-Windsor, Ont., corridor will generate $98 million next year, about two-thirds of Via’s revenue and ac count for 3.3 million of Via's projected 4.1 million passengers.

He said corridor trains are the strongest link in the Via network and “where our effectiveness can grow and

of touch with Quebec and would not make a good national leader. Cappon said he wants Ontario NDP Leader Bob Rae, who is bilingual, to enter the race.

Rae said in Toronto late Tuesday he will announce by next Tuesday whether he will run. That is the same day the Ontario legislature opens, and other members of Rae's caucus want him to decide sooner so they can plan their stragegy for the session

At a party-sponsored leadership forum in Saint John on Tuesday night, Barrett found himself under attack on the same issues that bothered Cappon

Ontario MP Steven Langdon, one of five caucus members who were seeking the leadership before Barrett entered the race, was the harshest on his B.C. colleague

Singling out Barrett, Langdon said the NDP must be able to function in French to bea national movement, and that included the leader

‘ISMISTAKEN’

Langdon added that Barrett was mistaken in believing Quebec should no longer be the sole focus of the coun try

He was referring to remarks in which Barrett said western alienation was a growing threat to national unity while most of Canada was preoccupied with Quebec

“The issue is understanding the French fact in Canada and the impor

Troops eiforced a night-time curfew in Panama City on streets where forces loyal to Noriega quashéd Tuesday the second attempt in 18 months by dissidents in the military to oust the defence forces chief. The dissidents had promised elections.

Canadian diplomats said Canadians living in Panama appeared to be in no danger

About 125 Canadians are registered as living in Panama, but Ruth Denton, Canada’s honorary consul in Panama City, said the number is probably closer to 450.

Noriega was quick to blame the revolt on the United;States, which has been trying to oust him for almost two years.

Legislation to be amended

OTTAWA (CP) — Proposed employment insurance legislation will be amended to provide greater protection for women who quit work

because of sexual harassment but the rest of the package stands, Em. ployment Minister Barbara McDougall said Tuesday

The bill introduced last spring would cut benefits by $1.3 billion gn- nually and lengthen entrance requirements to 10 to 20 weeks from 10 to 14 weeks. It would also use $800 million of the savings to pay ‘for new job training and require workers and employers to pay for the system without federal help

McDou conducted cross-country hearings on the controversial legislation. She told MPs itis the only criticism that warrants a change

Sexual harassment is now considered a valid reason for leaving work, but it is not stated specifically in the Unemployment Insurance Act
