Municipalities hear

of Reform

‘REFORM Party leader Preston
Manning is reaching out to municipal
politicians to bring local government
issues and practices to the federal stage.

Said Manning in an address to the
Federation of Canadian Municipalities last
week, “Reformers are ready, willing and able
to work with municipal leaders to advance
the issues that are of greatest concern to their
communities.

“Reform is looking for-allics to fight for
fiscal responsibility, decentralization of gov-
ernment, and grassroots democratic account-
ability,” he added. .

Manning presented the idea of a

manitesto

Municipal Manifesto, which he said would
be drafted prior to the next election. The
planned manifesto would ask the federal gov-
ermment to:
@ balance its budget without off-loading
costs to other levels of government:
B involve municipalities in improving the
delivery and funding of decentralized socia!
services, including a role for municipalities
in developing nation standards;
Bi adopt democratic practices widely used at
the municipal tevel of government, for exam-
ple free votes, referendums and grassroots
consultation.

“Municipalities have a lot to teach federal
government." Manning said.
