Fundamentals

need work
says MP

RON HUNTINGTON pitched for a sense of com-
munity and a willingness to address fundamental
problems as he spoke to 150 members of the Pro-
gressive Conservative party Monday.

Huntington, MP and op-
position critic of the Treasury
Board, was guest speaker at
the annual general meeting of
Conservatives in his Capilano
riding.

‘“‘These are very hard
times,’’ Huntington told the
crowd at the Avalon Hotel.
‘*A lot of people in this riding
and surrounding ridings have
had fortune turn on them and
there’s a lot of trouble.”’

One of the ways out of
that, he said, is for anyone
with ideas for aiding those in
trouble to come forward.

‘‘Some talented people
have been hit by the
economy. We are dealing
with them by the dozens.
There are some very, very
talented people in this nding
that need help,’’ Huntington
said in appealing for com-
munity support and ideas.

But it was Huntington’s
comments on the current
federal scene and what he
says needs to be done that
drew the most response from
the crowd.

‘(Finance Minister Marc)
Lalonde keeps saying that
things are going great,’’ Hun-
tungton said, ‘‘but he’s being
quite dishonest.’’

‘**T have to be truthful with
you. We can come out of it
(the present economic state)
but not unless we _ face
fundamentals.’’

Among the fundamentals
Huntington listed were poor
productivity at senior and
management levels in the
federal civil service, a tax
system that punishes incen-
tive and the use of tariffs to
protect inefficient industries.

Huntington pointed to
Great Britian as an example
of what could happen to
Canada and to its present

Prime Minister as what
Canada needs.
Citing a new. enter-

preneunal spirit in Britian,
Huntington said ‘‘the
greatest thing that has hap-
pened to the Western World
is the re-election of Margaret
Thatcher’’.

He followed that with a
warning that if Canada con-
tinues to follow the British
example of the previous
government, ‘‘we are going
to slip mght out of being
recognized as an idustrial na-
tion and into the Third

not the real goal of Pierre
