Cedardal
needs

Dear Editor:

This letter is to strongly support
the proposal for the multi-level care
facility at 419 Keith Rd. in West
Vancouver.

The need for this facility is criti-
cal now and there will be a virtual
crisis next year when the 80 or so
residents of West Van Kiwanis
Lodge are tossed out. Most people
don*t realize that funds are now
available for this facility, and if we
don’t approve this immediately we
will lose it to Burnaby or Surrey,

I understand the concern by the
local residents, but that is targely
the fear of change. I remember a
few years ago the resistance to the

support

Upper Caulfeiid Village proposal,
but now that it is in business it's the
best thing that ever happened to our
area,

Contrary to some opinion, the
area is ideal for intermediate resi-
dents. They do not require much in
the way of personal transportation,
and the idea that it could pollute
Brothers Creek is preposterous.

Please, let’s get on with it before
we lose it, The Cedardale residents
should look in the mirror and ask if
their concern really outweighs the
dire need for seniors’ accommoda-
tion.

HERITAGE BILL C-53

Bill C-53, An Act to Establish the
Department of Canadian Heritage. is
Presently under consideration by
Parliament.

Reform is opposed to this Bill
because it gives the Heritage Ministry
the authority to fund, on an ongoing
basis, a wide range of special interest
groups through generous grant pro-
grams. Bill C-53 should be called the
the “Speciat Interest Group Funding
Bill”.

GRANYS FOR ALL

Bill C-53 would permit an estimated
$4.4 billion to be spent on grants to at
least 24 different groups including the
Canadian Councit , CBC, Telefilm
Canada, the Advisory Council on tha
Status of Woman, Status of Women
Canada, official languages programs,
the Canadian Race Relations
Foundation, multicultural groups, the
CRTC, and a multitude of museums
and arts councils,

‘In 1993, Multiculturalism alone
received around 1,300 grants in a list
that filled a 703 page document. This
year, vith federal heath care funding in
decline, and cuts being proposed to
social programs, monay was found to
expand a museum in the Minister's
Riding and to continue with the $1.1
billion subsidy to the CBC.
Suggestions by Reform for $1.6 billion
in cuts to the Ministry were rejected by
the Government, so funding patterns of
the past will probably continue,

FRENCH IN BC

In a speech to Parliament on
October 27, 1994, | mentioned tiat the
Ministry of Heritage is using the Court
Challenges Program to try to force the
BC Government to spend up to $100
million on establishing francophone
school boards in the Province. Your

taxes will fund the case evan though
the 1993 report of the Commissioner of
Olfictal Languages noted that less than
half of one percent of the peaple in BC
speak French at home, and only 2,053
students were enrolled in French
Immersion in BC in 1993/94.

The court challenge alone could
cost up to $50 million, but if the case
goes all the way to the supreme Court

of Canada il will consume an enormous

amount of money which might be bet-
ter spent on general education or the
maintenance of important social pro-
grams, Besides, education is a provin-
cial responsibility under the
Constitution, so we should be asking
the Federal Government to Justify its
use of the official languages program
fo interfere in provincial affairs,

it seems that using your money for
social engineering Is a speciality of the
Heritage Ministry. $12 million will be
spent cn a “French Quarter” in
Edmonton under the seme official !an-

guages program, {f a French Quarter §

is needed In Edmonton, why aren't pri-
vate investors paying for it?

MORE GRANTS

Ministry of Heritage Grants in my report
every week for the next year. Examples
are: $21,000 for the study of interactive

gestures, $58,000 to determine what it |

is like to work for Dominion Grocery
Stores, $10,800 to find out what
Canadians think about - Christmas
lights, $46,000 tc assist artists in the
presentation of music, in non-tradition-
at spaces, and a $5,000 bilingualism
grant to Canadian Kennel Club. (No,
