Certainly. the criti- cism of the Unemployment Insurance Commission most easily understood 'by the Canadian public is the exhor- bitant and extravagant cost â€"and particularly the frau- dulent abuses of the plan. It is estimated that in 1972, unemployment insurance cost the Canadian taxpayer over $2.2 billion â€" representing more than 10% of the 'federal government's total budgetary and non-budgetary expendi- tures for 1972,. more than four times as much as was spent by the Department of Regional Economic Expan- sion in 1972. and exceeding by a few million dollars, Can- ada's total defence budget. The $1.879 billion the Un- employment Insurance Com- mission admitted payin-g out in unemployment benefits in 1972, exceeded by a wide margin the combined total of the previous two years. Bene- fits in 1971 totalled $892 million. In 1970 they totalled $694 million I had hoped that the gov- ernment had tightened up and eliminated most of the abuses surrounding the un- employment insurance ad- ministration. During the last recess of Parliament, how- ever, I was surprised to find many constituents still com- plained that there was a great deal of freeloading and outright fraud in dealing with the Unemployment In- surance' Commission. So far in 1973, unemploy- ment is down slightly in Canada. yet the cost to the Nation for unemployment in- surance is up. This is partly due to poor and costly ad- ministration, but it is also due to people taking advan- tage of a plan that was not well conceived before it was introduced. Officials now say they wish the new insurance scheme had been tested on a limited scale before being used across the country. But the loser appears to be the taxpayer. the man who is working and the employer. UIC premiums are now to go up 40%. Starting January lst, take- home pay will decrease by as much as $40 a year because the federal government is now going to collect more Hill Citizens 'Group Organizes To Provide Planning Input As a followâ€"up to a public meeting of about 60 residents of Richmond Hill held Octo- ber 10 in which they as- serted their belief that there should be more citizen par- ticipation in the planning process, a meeting of 20 vo- cal and concerned citizens was I.‘neld Thursday evening of Last week, as an organi- zational meeting. The original committee of Buster Vermeul'en, Palt Bed- ford and Mary-lo Graham was augmented by indivi- duals who volunteered to involve dihe'mselves in creat- ing an effective board to help coaordinate and inform citizens and aid and advise council in town planning. It was agreed (on a motion by Dave Schiller and Gord MacKenzie) that the original committee should continue as interim administrative of- ficers of the committee un- til the first meeting in Ja- nuary, at 'which time an elec- tion of a new slate of offi- cers will take place. In the interim stress will be placed SINCLAIR STEVENS MP YORK SIMCOE Worker, Employer, Big Losers In Trudeau’s Unemployment Insurance on soliciting wide represen- tation on the cmnmilttee. SESSION REPORT A report was given of the original committee’s ap- pearance before council Oc- tober 29 to advise council of the results of the public meeting and ask for coun- cil's formal recognition of a citizens’ advisory board (reported in “The Liberal." November 1). Council sug- gested the group return when it had become more organized, appointed officers and -had a clear statement of the specifics of its purpose and policy. A letter was tabled from Councillor Dave Stephenson, chairman of Council's plan- ning committee, offering co- operation. Roster representatives at the planning committee meetings of Octofier 31 and November 6. David Faer and Myrtle McEwen, presen- ted reports. Membels ex- pressed concern over parti- cural areas where citizens' input seemed valid. It was learned that in two areas citizens are planning to give input to the planning com- mittee. These are the Bay- view Estates modular home development which has been proposed on land owned by Councillor William Corcoran and the proposal for an ll-lot development for Pem- berton and Wanne- Road Which wouid necessitate changing, filling and chan- nelling one portion of a tri~ butary of the Don River to facilitate building of a sub- SINCLAIR STEVENS REPORTS - money i UIC premiums from wor ers and employers. Next year, a $100-a-week man will pay 40c a week more. while a person at $170 a fiveek will be taxed a fur- ther 78c. Originally the fund was said to be geared to a 4% unemployment rate. If unem- ployment rose above 4%, then the government was to pick up the difference out of tax dollars. It was then arg- ued that a good government should 'be able to keep our unemployment down to 4% (or lower) of our work force. If they failed. then they should accept responsibility and pick up the difference. Now the government has changed the rules again. With unemployment near 6%, they have raised unempl’oyment premiums to make the fund self-sustaining, when 6% are unemployed in the country. This appears to be accept- ing a 6% level of unemploy- ment and making the per- sons who are working, pay for it‘ Surely it is wrong to accept as inevitable, a 6% unem- ployment level in Canada. Australia feels it is a national disaster if their rate reaches 2%. It is especially wrong to load the govemment‘s mis- taken approach to this mat- ter on the worker and his employer, rather than to tighten up their own adminâ€" istration of the fund and to take steps to ensure less unemployment. Many tell me there is little unemployment in Canada if all want to work. Time and again we hear, “I have tried to hire workers but I cannot find them.” Clearly it is time for a review of the entire question of unemployment in Canada, and the administration of the unemployment insurance fund. Ottawa's approach in amending the old unemploy- ment insurance system was undoubtedly well meaning, but it was ill-conceived. Now we have the two- pronged problem of getting 'those able to work. back to work, while ensuring that those who truly cannot find employment, get the benefit of an equitable unemployment in s u r a n c 6 plan. Papering over the problem will not solve itâ€"it will only worsen it. The time to act is now. division ’ on flood-Control land. PLANNING INTEREST The committee agreed to be available for co-ord‘ina‘tion and referral to relevant in- dividuals and groups. It was also decided to look into the details and implications of Town Planner H'es-se Rimon’s suggestion for speeding-up the process of rezoning. The committee agreed than representatives attendâ€" ing planning and council meetings s'houuld keep a careful record of ‘tlhe voting of all members of council on all issues. Financing of the enterpri- ses and administration was discussed. It was decided that at present the group will continue to operate out of the pockets of those in- tolved, meanWhile applying to the Civic Improvement Committee for a subsidy of $100. CONCERNS FOR TOWN The meeting revolved around the purpose, function and effectiveness of a citi- zen's advisory 'board. Many concerns for the town were expressed and positive pro. posals for long-range plan- ning. Some members voiced dissatisfaction with the pre- sent structure. Most felt an advisory board could and should operate to provide information feedback, in a consultative role and, it was hoped. to be actively in- volved in joint planning with council. To achieve this, and early recognition by council, three areas of specific action good out First, a commitwe of Janet Fayle, Dave Schiller and Wentworbh Dowell are to present a statement of Purpose and «policy. June Kirby’s committee is to propose methods of repre» sentation for civic groups on an advisory board and Myrtle McEwen’s committee is to orgaqize co-ordination and delegafion in specific issues. Ther next meeting is Plan- ned for November 21. SURF MARINE PIONEER CHAIN SAWS SALES & SERVICE 889-4391 The Commerce Key get evefYom Account is a totally new approach to personal you're lilt banking.
