Show detail Hide detail

A two-city panel considers the question: what are the issues in this year’s federal elections? Moderator Gordon Hawkins of the Canadian Association of Adult Education, introduces the panelists in Montreal and Toronto. Pierre Laporte, parliamentary correspondent in Ottawa for Le Devoir, picks provincial rights as vitally important for one of two “ethnic groups” and for sound financial administration in Canada. Douglas Hamilton, secretary-treasurer of the Ontario Federation of Labour, says municipal affairs are leading issues. Léon Lortie, director of extension for the Université de Montréal, highlights social security, especially health insurance. Harvey Perry, director of the Canadian Tax Foundation, remarks that people tend to want both lowered taxes and increased expenditures. F.A. Angers, head of L’École hautes études commerciales, Université de Montréal, picks up Pierre Laporte’s point of centralization versus local rights and high taxes combined with financial control. Beland Honderich, editor of the Toronto Daily Star, wants to discuss whether there is a practical alternative to the government in Ottawa. Hawkins chooses provincial autonomy and federal encroachment as the topic for discussion. The views expresses range from Laporte’s declaration that “provincial autonomy is violated every time Ottawa does not leave the provinces enough money to fulfil their duties” to Perry’s insistence that the constitution gives the power to provinces too but they lack the will to act, unlike the federal government. The moderator concludes with courtesies to the participants. <45mn>
