OTTAWA (UPC) - In the.

midst of the election
campaign Joe Clark carried
his attack. on the Liberal
-government to the affluent
Empire Club with the advice
that: now was the time to
raise expectations, not lower
them.

The hedging on that 7

promise, following advice
from the Canadian Chamber
of Commerce to delay
implementation, caused an
outcry from both the Liberal
and New Democratic op-
position - parties that had
opposed the proposal
throughout the election.

The credibility of the
three-month old government
must be suffering - and again
that must cause pain in
Liberal ranks. It was largely
lack of credibility because of
reversals by Prime Minister
Pierre Trudeau that set
voters firmly against the
former government.

At the Royal York Hotel
meeting where Clark called
for higher expectations, he
talked extensively about the
contents of the first budget.

has looked at the balance
sheet and concluded exactly
what the Liberals said all

through the campaign - thdre-

is just not enough money to
pay for the promises.

Crosbie and several other
cabinet ministers believe the
massive deficit that
developed during the rule of
former Prime Minister
Pierre Trudeau, and which
he desperately grappled with
during the last year of his
tenure, has to be reduced.

“The prime minister, for
reasons J don’t understand,
has been suggesting that this
is a time when Canadians
have to lower our. ex-
pectations,” Clark told the
Empire Club. “But he is dead
wrong... this is a time for
Canadians to raise our
expectations.”
