ABDELWAHABCO-OP STUDENT

On March 20, after weeks of competition and careful consid-eration of the presentations of the 10 finalists, a team of industry experts announced the winner of a nationwide competition for university students that had them create a marketing plan for the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer.

Monica Walker, a 22-year-old commerce student from Queen’s University and gradu-ate of Nepean’s St. Pius X High School was awarded the presti-gious title of Canada’s Next Top Ad Exec as well as a new silver 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Walker’s winning idea was

made up of multiple aspects all designed to grab the attention of Mitsubishi’s target audience of 18- to 35-year-olds.

It began with hosting large

promotional events in downtown Toronto that were designed to allow the urban youth the chance to experience the car in a more vibrant setting.

Walker knows first hand that young adults often have very busy schedules, so she suggested changing the test driving process so that it can fit in a busy sched-

ule. “They could get picked up at a

hotel and dropped off at the air-port,” explained Walker. To tie both aspects together, Walker decided to use popular online social networks such as Facebook and My Space to advertise and promote the car to its target demographic.

Walker’s inspiration for her campaign was to consider her own experiences and those of her friends and housemates. “I thought, ‘What is the best way to sell myself the car?’” she explained.

“It was a huge thrill to win,” laughed Walker.

Mixed reaction to budget from councillorsVALERIE MCLAUGHLIN

NTW STAFF

After the province’s pledge to invest $60 mil-lion into Ottawa for initiatives such as public transit infrastructure and housing, some local city councillors believe provincial politicians are finally listening and fulfilling the needs of municipalities.

“It’s good to see some monies coming to Ottawa, but it doesn’t affect our budget in any way,” said Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Gord

Hunter. “I think we are in the process of re-establish-

ing provincial and municipal relations that were pretty much shattered by the Harris regime.”

Out of the $60 million in one-time funding the city is expected to receive, $47 million will be directed towards public transit infrastructure, $7 million for housing and $5 million for community centres.

RCMP study will help city planners accommodate headquarters move

MARGARET SAMBOLNTW STAFF

On Monday (March 26), the City of Ottawa got another piece of the puzzle to plan for the RCMP head-quarters moving to 3000 Merivale Rd. in Barrhaven when the police force pro-vided information on the geographic location of the employees who will work out of the new office.

“This wil l help the city’s transportation plan-ners anticipate the traffic needs resulting from the RCMP headquarters move to South Nepean,” says Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre.

The report shows that the majority of RCMP employ-ees who will be working out of the new headquar-ters currently live in postal codes in the city’s east end.

The largest block, 23 per cent, live in Orleans, fol-lowed by 14 per cent each in the south end of Ottawa

and rural areas of eastern Ontario, and 13 per cent in the eastern portion of downtown Ottawa.

Using the postal codes, the RCMP has determined that 9.1 per cent of employ-ees live in western down-

town, 6.7 per cent live in Nepean and 5.6 per cent live in Kanata.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder has been working hard with city planning and transit officials to ensure that RCMP employees’

transportation needs are met.

“We’ve begun the pro-cess to ensure the RCMP move is well accommodat-ed,” Harder says.

Hunter was pleasantly surprised to learn the gov-ernment will provide the city $2 million for the 2009 World Junior Hockey Championship. Given all of the pressures the province faces, including its aim to make education and health care a priority, Hunter said he “recognizes and appreci-ates the support municipali-ties have been given.”

G l o u c e s t e r - S o u t h Nepean Coun . S t eve Desroches gave the bud-get a strong passing grade when it comes to meeting the city’s needs, stating he hopes the additional money will plug a few holes in the city’s budget.

Desroches acknowl-edged that the $7 million slated for social housing won’t meet the entire needs of the city’s housing stock. However, he called the funding a step in the right direction and added he is hopeful the money will be used to upgrade some buildings in communities across the city.

“I am hopeful they will partner with us [to reduce] the backlog of those wait-ing for spots,” he said.

Desroches believes city businesses will benefit from this budget as the amount they pay in education tax will gradually decrease over the next seven years. The tax reduction is expect-

ed to save businesses about $540 a year.

“I have heard from busi-nesses that if they are not spending it on taxes they are spending it on their businesses. That is very good news for our local economy,” he said.

Bay Coun. Alex Cullen, who looks at the situation very differently, insists the $60 million that will be directed to Ottawa isn’t sustainable funding and doesn’t address the city’s fiscal imbalance. Child care, social housing, pub-lic health – all provincially mandated programs – are being subsidized by proper-ty taxpayers, he explained.

“Cities can’t plan if they wait for crumbs to be thrown to them from the province,” Cullen said.

He criticized the prov-ince for only allocating $7 million for social hous-ing as the city should have received much more from federal funding given to the province two years ago. If the $7 million is used to

construct new housing, the money will only pay for 50 units, he said, adding there are 11,000 people on a waiting list for affordable housing.

“It is a crumb. We should be grateful for it, but that’s all it is,” he said.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder agreed with Hunter’s assessment that this budget demonstrates that the city has a better relationship with the province.

“I think it is shows this council is working closely with the province. They have listened. That’s a lot of money. It is a good start in rectifying the funding gap,” Harder said.

While the budget is good news for lower income individuals and families, the Barrhaven councillor is pleased to see other initia-tives that will help working families, including changes to the property assessment system. Properties will be assessed every four years, not annually. Any increase will be phased in over a

four-year period. Under the new system, decreases will be effective immediately.

“I like there are some improvement s to the municipal property assess-ment, but it’s not where I’d like to see it at the end of the day,” she said.

Cullen said the modifica-tions to the property assess-ment system will result in no real change for property owners.

“The current system is very volatile. It is not trans-parent and it is not predict-able. We need fundamental reform and we are not see-ing it here,” he said.

When it comes to infra-structure money, Harder would like the city to spend it on constructing a complex like the Nepean Sportsplex or the Walter Baker Sports Centre that would include not only ice surfaces, but meeting space and a library.

“We definitely know that we need one. That’s where I’d like to see infrastructure money go,” she said.

Bribery investigationThe OPP has launched an investigation into allega-

tions that Mayor Larry O’Brien offered rival Terry Kilrea financial help and possibly a position on the federal parole board if he dropped out of the mayor’s race. In a sworn affidavit made by Kilrea, former Conservative MP John Reynolds has been named as the federal contact in relation to the parole board appointment. The mayor denies the allegations, saying they are untrue.

Celebrating waterOttawa residents joined in the quest to give safe, clean

water to every person in the world as part of World Water Day celebrations on March 22.

For more information on the organization’s efforts, visit www.watercan.com.

Kosher wineThe LCBO store in Barrhaven is offering kosher prod-

ucts to help consumers with preparing and entertaining for a traditional Seder meal. The Barrhaven outlet is one of 29 selected stores across the province to offer more than 60 kosher products for Passover. “The LCBO offers a wide variety of excellent and high-quality kosher products that reflect the interest of our consumers,” said Courtenay Wint, of the LCBO.

Current & Concise

Dennis Jacobs, the city’s director of planning, envi-ronment and infrastructure policy, says the informa-tion is helpful from a tran-sit routing perspective, but overall he says the city’s advance infrastructure plans were completed at the time of application for the South

Merivale Business Park. “We’re already in a posi-

tion to deal with the contin-ued growth in that business park,” Jacobs says, adding that the plans will be imple-mented as the business park is developed.

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches says the geographic information will help the OC Transpo accommodate the RCMP

employees.“It’s going to be very

helpful particularly when the RCMP first relocates to the community,” Desroches says. He notes that the information is a snapshot of the current situation and he expects people to begin relocating closer to the new headquarters over the long term. The RCMP does not intend to ask its employees

whether they plan to move. “We need to prepare not

just for the RCMP employ-ees, but also their families,” Desroches says. He explains that the city’s transporta-tion planning will also have to take into account the spouses and children of the RCMP employees to ensure they can commute to work, school or leisure activities as needed.

“I do think the RCMP headquarters will be a cat-alyst for further growth,” Desroches says, adding that he has already seen devel-opment applications for the South Merivale Business Park.

Desroches says he’s look-ing forward to the recom-mendations in the mayor’s task force on transportation report in June for ideas and solutions. Poilievre says the report is being sent to the mayor’s office as well as the transportation task force

led by David Collenette. “The good news is that

the old light rail plan would have had no impact in help-ing to move people to the headquarters. We need bet-ter east-west transportation to get the employees to this headquarters,” Poilievre says.

Harder points out the north-south light rail proj-ect is dead in the water unless the mayor’s task force brings it back.

MPP says provincial budget doesn't do enough for eastern OntarioMARGARET SAMBOL

NTW STAFF

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod has criti-cized the provincial bud-get released last Thursday (March 22) for not doing enough for residents of eastern Ontario.

“Nepean-Carleton hom-eowners will be paying $4,500 extra, but the pri-orities in the budget don’t match their priorities,” MacLeod says. “I don’t think this budget will stand up to scrutiny.”

MacLeod calls the budget “big spending” and in gen-eral “somewhat unfocused.”

“They tried to accom-plish way too much,” MacLeod says.

She says residents of her riding would have pre-ferred to see spending in

their constituency or tax relief. MacLeod says spe-cific priorities the budget overlooked include fund-ing for the trade school at Algonquin College, a Southwest Ottawa Autism Resource Centre and the Ottawa Congress Centre.

“I’m disappointed there’s not something sustainable there for cities,” MacLeod says.

As the critic for child and youth services, MacLeod points out that Children’s Mental Health Ontario only received $2 million in the budget, although the organization had request-ed $40 million. She says that money would have been spent on treatment, preventative measures and increased programming for children at risk.

MacLeod also wanted to

see $250,000 to ensure that children at CFB Petawawa receive counselling associ-ated with having a parent serving in Afghanistan.

“There was nothing in this budget for that. The government passed the buck and I think that’s very callous,” MacLeod says.

MacLeod does call the Ontario Child Benefit a positive step, although she would like to see it imple-mented sooner.

“I’m pleased to see the money that did come to Ottawa, but it was short of our needs,” MacLeod says.

She says the Progressive Conservatives’ (PC) plan for revamping the property tax assessment system would be better for residents of her riding. With assessment changes only every four years, she says the increase

will be massive, but conve-niently fall after provincial elections. The PC plan is to cap increases at five per

cent annually.“The constituents I’ve

spoken to are disappoint-ed with the extra spending

province-wide. The average taxpayer would have liked to see tax relief,” MacLeod says.

ALEXANDRA MACAULAY ABDELWAHABCO-OP STUDENT

The city is now providing fund-ing for not-for-profit community projects and organizations that address emerging needs of a grow-ing city by supporting the inclusion of a diverse population or promote crime prevention within Ottawa.

This non-renewable funding pro-gram is designed to address and

respond to the emerging needs of the city.

Funding will be allocated on a one-year basis to time limited or pilot projects and on a three-year basis to up to four organizations that wish to build their capacity on the emerging needs of the city.

Crime prevention funding will be allocated on a need-be basis according to how well each proj-ect meets the needs of this type of funding.

Applicants can apply for one-year and three-year community funding as well as crime prevention funding if they meet the criteria for each funding component.

All projects will be evaluated on how complete and clear they are as well as the overall project plan, the target population, objectives, time-lines, outcomes and area of the city served amongst other points.

Further information about eli-gible projects, as well as how to

apply for funding, is available at all municipal Client Service Centres, online at www.ottawa.ca/funding or by calling Yolande Cramer at 613-580-2424, ext. 23637.

One information session is being held today, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Dr., room 1A.

If you can’t make it, there’s still time to apply.

Applications for funding must be received by 4 p.m. on April 20.

Chicken and egg situation with public policy investmentsMARGARET SAMBOL

NTW STAFF

When it comes to invest-ments to turn good public policy ideas into reality, governments seem to be stuck in a chicken-and-egg debate with the people they represent.

Let’s look at an example. At the municipal level

here in Ottawa, we hear a lot about the city’s goal of achieving a 30 per cent transit modal split by 2021 during the afternoon peak hour (i.e. 30 per cent of all people travelling at that time of day will be using public transit). That target is double the current rate.

We also hear a lot about the city’s plan to achieve a 55 per cent cost recov-ery for public transit. That means the city wants 55 per cent of the cost of offering public transit to be paid by user fees and the rest of the

cost to be paid by govern-ment subsidies. These two goals can be at odds with each other as I’ll explain later.

The reasons for a 30 per cent modal split goal as listed in the transporta-tion master plan are multi-fold. The most important to taxpayers is that it is much cheaper to move people around on buses than it is to build new roads, widen

existing roads and maintain the road system in general.

Of course, there’s also the environmental argu-ment. If a bus carries 40 people to work in the morning, there is only one vehicle emitting pollution as opposed to 40 cars.

As far as I can tell, avoiding polluting in the first place is also much cheaper than trying to clean it up later.

If more people were tak-ing public transit, there would also be less traffic congestion. There’s a great picture the City of Ottawa uses to illustrate this point at its open houses where it shows Carling Avenue packed with cars and then shows the single bus that could transport all those people.

You hear a lot of people complaining about the traffic, but they are not so willing to give up the com-

fort of their own cars. (I’ll admit I’m one of those peo-ple driving myself to work, although my husband does take the bus to work.)

With all the good reasons to use public transit, most people prefer the space, quiet or choice of music and controllable tempera-ture of their own vehicle.

How then do we get peo-ple do use public transit?

Well, there are a few ways.

There are those who are ideologically committed to riding public transit, who will ride it no matter what. If we could get more peo-ple to really believe in the benefits, maybe they would change their minds, but this is the most difficult path.

Then, there’s your wal-let. Riding the bus should be cheaper than driving your car as an incentive to do it.

This is where the whole

argument with the 55 per cent cost recovery comes in. When the city raises transit fares in an attempt to reach that goal, people are turned off taking the bus. Although the city is mak-ing more money per ride, it has less customers and so fails to come closer to its goal. (I know when the city was considering rais-ing transit fares 9.5 per cent during the budget debates, my husband and I seriously considered buying a second car.)

It makes much more sense to lower the price of transit fares to entice more people to use it. Even though the city would be making less money per fare, the increase in number of people using it would get it closer to its 55 per cent cost recovery goal.

and Street Design PolicyYou Are Invited:

Central Location

Tuesday, April 10, 20073 to 9 p.m.Jean Pigott PlaceOttawa City Hall110 Laurier Avenue West

• View the display materials for the Right-of-Way Lighting Policy and the Street Design Policy.• Listen to a presentation at 7 p.m. of the draft Right-of-Way Lighting Policy and the Street

Design Policy followed by a question and answer session.• Provide comments on the preliminary policies.

Right-of-Way Lighting PolicyThe citywide Right-of-Way Lighting Policy, started in spring 2006, will set new standards for lighting roadways and sidewalks in all urban and rural areas in the City of Ottawa. Goals of the study include standardizing street and sidewalk lighting, maintaining safety, reducing light pollution, improving lighting design and achieving cost savings where possible.

The policy will not address lighting in parks, along trails and pathways and does not address lighting on property adjacent to road rights-of-way. The target completion date for the fi nal policy is summer 2007.

The Right-of-Way Lighting Policy public open house display materials and the draft poli-cy document will be available for review and on-line comments as of April 9 at the projectWeb site: ottawastreetlighting.ca.

Street Design PolicyThe City also initiated a new Street Design Policy in April 2006 as a companion to the Right-of-Way Lighting Policy. This policy will set higher design standards for special streets within the City and establish criteria to determine which streets warrant this treatment, such as, burial of hydro and telecommunication cables, decorative paving, street trees, pedestrian streetlights, benches etc. It will also determine how and when these improvements will be fi nanced and how they will be maintained. The target completion date for the fi nal policy is fall 2007.

Please drop in any time between the hours noted above. Comment sheets will also be available at the meeting.

At the same time, its 30 per cent transit modal split goal. It may seem like backwards logic, but lower-ing transit fares has a bet-ter chance of success in my opinion.

And finally, there’s com-fort, quality of service and convenience. Regardless of how much money peo-ple would save on public transit, they won’t take it unless it gets them where they need to go. Time is money, so they won’t take it unless it gets them there in a reasonable amount of time. And a lot of us would be willing to pay a little more for comfort, so the public transit service has to be comparable qual-ity to private transportation. Ensuring that transit ser-vice meets those goals will mean investments. The city needs to have enough buses to run them at a frequency people can live with, where

people want them and keep them in a condition people like.

Clearly, developing a successful transit system costs money, but this is a big picture issue. When we step back, it becomes clear that it will save money in the long run and governments and the public should keep that in mind when budget times roll around. That little bit more now will save you a lot of money in the future, because regardless of when we pay, these expenses all come from one revenue source: our taxes.

This example is just but one of many where it takes a wise government to break the vicious cycle and get that chicken laying (or egg hatching if you prefer that side of the debate). It also takes a wise populace to ask its government to see the big picture and invest now to save later. The best and rarest situation is when you have both.

MP PIERRE POILIEVRENEPEAN-CARLETON

Canadian families and taxpayers have seen strong fiscal management from Canada’s government and it continues with budget 2007. Our government’s second budget successfully delivers to hard-working Canadians and businesses while continuing to cut taxes, controlling spending and paying down debt.

Budget 2007 reduces the debt by $9.2 billion for a total federal debt reduction to $22.4 billion over two years. That’s $700 for every man, woman and child in Canada. Better yet, this budget makes law a “Tax Back Guarantee” which directs the money saved from paying less interest on the debt to personal tax reductions for Canadians.

Since January 2006 we have introduced nearly $38 billion in individual tax relief. This includes reduc-ing the GST to six per cent, our new $2,000 Child Tax Credit and much needed tax relief for seniors, students, apprentices and children with severe disabilities.

Our government has not only reduced taxes sig-nificantly, we have taken a focused and responsible approach to spending.

From 2005-06, when our government came to office, to 2008-09 spending growth will average 4.1 per cent – almost a full percentage point below the projected rate of economic growth for this period. Comparatively, our spending is well below the total program spending of the previous government that grew by an average of 8.2 per cent annually. In fact, in 2004-05, growth in spending increased by a whopping 14.4 per cent.

In the capital region, we are committed to a cleaner, greener and healthier way of life. The NCC is getting $30 million over two years to help the federal body keep its properties with-out selling off green space. This ensures the greenbelt that thousands of you drive by everyday will be pro-tected forever. Ottawa’s

Iogen Corporation, which makes car fuel out of hay bales, will share in $500 million to produce next-generation renewable fuels. The University of Ottawa Heart Institute will share in $120 million to help save lives by fighting heart dis-ease and preventing heart attacks.

This budget recog-nizes that effective and r e s p o n s i b l e m a n a g e -ment of spending is an ongoing responsibility. That is why, starting this spring, a review of each depart-ment’s spending will ensure that federal programs provide what Canadians want and expect of their government. The results of this review will be pre-sented in the 2008 budget. Our plan is to conduct all reviews over a four-year cycle.

Budget delivers results for all Canadians

Provincial budget offers little relief for NepeanitesMPP LISA MACLEOD

NEPEAN-CARLETON

Last week’s McGuinty Liberal budget was tabled with very few results and little relief for Nepean-Car le ton homeowners

whose assessments have skyrocketed in recent years.

McGuinty’s plan for the property assessment crisis is simply to phase in assess-ment increases and move toward a four-year cycle

for re-assessment – mean-ing homeowners have four years to wait for their prop-erty assessmentincreases. It also means following an assessment cycle that would see massive property

assessment increases each year after all future fixed date elections in Ontario.

DEVON BABINNTW STAFF

Look out Pierre Poilievre. Another young, star politi-cian may be on the horizon, only he is a Liberal and if all goes to plan, will be running against John Baird.

Adriano Guzzo, 28, is officially in contention with Peggy Blair to be the next Liberal candidate in the riding of Ottawa West-Nepean.

“I have an extreme pas-sion for politics, to lead and to try and help people,” said Guzzo.

Although he has never run for office, Guzzo has been a member of the fed-eral Liberal party since he was 14 and isn’t afraid of a tough battle.

The first fight will be to win the candidacy for the riding. Running against Peggy Blair he admits that it is a tough process to go through, but in the end there will be no hard feel-

ings on either side. “At the end of the day I

would say we are all on the same team,” he said.

Assuming he does win the Liberal candidacy, his second battle against Baird will be that much tougher - something he is well aware of.

“It’s sort of like a David and Goliath battle here,” he said. “I think I can very well make history in unseating Mr. Baird.”

Guzzo isn’t impressed with Baird’s performance

so far, especial ly his behaviour in the House of Commons.

“ B e i n g b o i s t e r o u s and loud isn’t always the best way to govern,” said Guzzo. “Many people have been turned off, even some Conservatives.”

A lot of attention as of late has been focused on the environment. Baird, being the environment min-ister, has attracted a lot of attention himself. Guzzo is an advocate for the envi-ronment, but he doesn’t want to ignore other press-ing issues.

“Obviously the envi-ronment is important,” he said. “But I think we can’t neglect other very important issues.”

Those issues, in Guzzo’s

eyes, are the widening pov-erty gap between classes in Canada, the current state of child care in the coun-try and the condition of Canada’s health care sys-tem.

On a more local level, Guzzo feels strongly that municipalities are not get-ting their fair share of money transfers from the

federal and provincial gov-ernments and hopes to rem-edy that.

“Why it is that citizens are paying for high proper-ty taxes?” he asked. “They are paying high property taxes for programs that need to be installed at the provincial and municipal level but, meanwhile, the federal government should be putting forth more money towards that. That way property taxes remain low.”

When a federal election will happen is still up in the air, but no matter what,

Guzzo feels that parties must start working together more to serve Canadians properly.

“What’s missing is the parties need to be working together,” he said.

“We all need to come to the forefront and work together for the better-ment of Canada and all Canadians.”

And if an election is called soon, Guzzo, if nom-inated, and his party are ready.

“Make no mistake about it, we are going to be ready,” he said.

COMEDY AUCTION 2007

Comedy Auction 2007 is a project of The Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce in partial support of the Queensway-Carleton Hospital Foundation and other signifi cant Chamber projects. Thanks to our manyvolunteers and very generous supporters, we have raised over $235,000.00 in our previous seven Comedy Auctions.

We hope to build on our previous successes with the presentation of Comedy Auction 2007 on the evening of Thursday, May 3, 2007, at the Nepean Sportsplex and we have assembled quite a team to do so.

Proceedings will be co-hosted by Stephanie Leishman and Brian ‘Motor Mouth’ Goudge and will feature professional comedy entertainment from Absolute Comedy. The evening will also feature renowned mentalist and psychic entertainer John Milks as well as master magician Elliott Smith and, of course, the excitement of live auction and silent auction merchandise.

Our community hospital, the Queensway-Carleton Hospital, is in the midst of a continued expansion and is uncovering many expensive surprises in the process. The Foundation’s task is to raise funds to address these surprises as well as funds to replace aging equipment and to acquire new, state-of-the-art, technologies. We at the Chamber of Commerce believe we can be of help in this regard.

To this end, we are once again presenting this totally unique, fun-fi lled event featuring a light meal, profes-sional entertainment and an opportunity to bid on quality merchandise.

We hope that your company will share our concern for our community hospital and, in that context, be willing to donate one or more items for auction. Your participation would be greatly appreciated.

In order to get a timely start at preparing the many essential logistics required that day, we would ask for your earliest consideration of our request. Please notify our offi ce at 828-5556 and we will be pleased to arrange a pick up time convenient to you.

We only have four weeks until the 8th Comedy Auction and it looks like it will be bigger and better the ever. As the auctions items are starting to arrive we seem to have some new and different things that will be available both in the silent and the live portion of the evening. Comedy will be from twoprofessional comedians representing Absolute Comedy on Preston St. Our regular two MC's Brian Goudge and Stephanie Leishman will have 25 live auction items and over 200 silent items. There will be something for everyone. Our menu have a vegetarian item for the fi rst time. Tickets available from theoffi ce (613-828-5556). This was a sold out event last year and we are already over half sold out, so call soon to reserve your tickets.

The good weather is almost here and our annual golf day at Cedarhill is fast approaching. This is just reminder to get your entryin early to reserve your spot. Teams may enter also as there is a prize for the team that can defeat the team from Jack May PontiacBuick (team winners two years in a row).

June will see our Annual General Meeting with a location still to be decided.

If you are not a member of the Chamber a visit to our web-site ([email protected] will list many new benefi ts including Grand&Toy....Hotels all through the Province....Restaurants local and out of town....discounted Visa, Mastercard, etc.rates....andmany other everyday items. Check them out and they may be just the little difference that will help you .

Budget is a winner for OttawaMPP JIM WATSON

OTTAWA WEST-NEPEAN

All of us in Ottawa West-Nepean stand to benefit from a budget that makes historic investments in education, sports and rec-reation, health care, infra-structure, transportation and poverty.

Ottawa Mayor Larry O’Brien sent me an e-mail during the speech to express his appreciation for the budget.

In follow-up media inter-views, O’Brien has been quoted as saying this is a historic first step in build-ing a true relationship between the city of Ottawa and the province of Ontario

For people in Ottawa West-Nepean who have long been frustrated with property taxes: now assess-ments will only happen every four years.

In the event that your assessment increases it will be a phased-in increase spread out over four years.

I’m pleased that we’re in the mode of providing more than $60 million new

dollars to Ottawa.As an example:• Approximately $47

million from the public transit trust for infrastruc-ture projects.

• Approximately $7 mil-lion as Ottawa’s share of the housing trust funds.

The 2007 budget, which contains no tax increases, projects a balanced budget for 2006-07, the second year in a row, eliminat-ing the $5.5 billion deficit inherited in 2003-04.

Our government under-stands that giving every-one a fair chance to suc-ceed is the right thing to do – for our society and for the economy.

Our plan is working for Ontarians. Jobs are up, the deficit is gone, class sizes are smaller, wait times are shorter for key health pro-cedures, and postsecond-ary education is becoming more accessible and afford-able.

We will continue to be focused and disciplined in our management of the province’s finances, as we continue to expand oppor-tunity for everyone who calls this great province home.

If you should have any questions about the budget, or any other matter, please don’t hesitate to contact my office at 613-721-8075.

Our government understands that giving everyone a fair chance to succeed is the right thing to do – for our

society and for the economy. • Jim Watson

Rivier ready to challenge Baird

VALERIE MCLAUGHLINNTW STAFF

Despite Conservative MP John Baird having a prominent position in Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government, NDP candidate Marlene Rivier believes Ottawa West-Nepean is in striking dis-tance as her party is gaining momentum in the riding.

“We are in a better posi-tion to take this riding than we have ever been,” Rivier said, adding support for the NDP in the riding has tri-pled since the federal elec-tion in 2000.

Rivier was recently nom-inated by the NDP to run in the next election. This is the third time she has rep-resented the party federally in Ottawa West-Nepean. Despite the massive task of upsetting a Conservative seat held by a federal cabi-net minister, she believes she is up to the challenge as the electorate is becoming increasingly disappointed in both the Liberals and the Conservatives, she said.

“We are seeing that the Conservatives are no differ-ent,” she said.

Rivier took aim at new environmental initiatives announced recently in the federal budget. The envi-ronment has been a key issue with the NDP for many years. Although the Conservatives are trying to convince voters they care for the environment, there are no provisions to help workers transition to a green economy, she said.

“There is enormous po ten t i a l and oppor-tunity there. With the Conservatives, we know they are able to read the polls. The have done a 180-degree turn on this issue.

We aren’t seeing anything substantial to address this issue,” she said.

Poverty is one issue that Rivier has focused on during past elections and she will continue to push the issue, she said. The Conservatives have offered nothing to help the plight of those living under the poverty line, she said. Child care, in particular, hasn’t been addressed. Women are disproportionally impact-ed by this issue as daycare isn’t being properly funded, she said, adding the federal government’s plans to have the private sector to help create child care spaces has failed.

“We have certainly seen nothing in the budget that will change that,” she said.

Rivier said that there is fear in the riding as Baird has continuously focused on crime and this is frag-menting the community.

While she agrees that criminals need to be pun-ished, the Conservatives are more focused on punish-ment, rather than crime pre-vention, she said. Investing in people, especially those l iving in poverty, can help to prevent crime, she explained.

“We know chief among this is poverty and no access to training and edu-cation,” she said.

Rivier’s criticism doesn’t end with the Conservatives. Although the provincial government has pledged to increase the minimum wage to $10.25, she believes this raise won’t help the plight of low income individuals and families as they will have to wait until 2010 before they receive the full wage increase. She said the Dalton McGuinty Liberals didn’t have to wait for their large raise they gave them-selves in December.

While the McGuinty scheme is crafty, this plan will not provide real protection for homeown-ers in Nepean-Carleton like the five per cent cap and reverse onus appeal system proposed by the Ontario PC Party.

Outside experts on tax reform also suggest that the McGuinty plan for property assessments is not the right plan for Ontario homeowners.

In fact, as Bob Topp from the Coalition After Proper ty Tax Reform suggests of the McGuinty plan, “I don’t think it really does the job. It makes taxes, in the short run, more predictable for h o m e o w n e r s b u t i t doesn’t deal with the volatility which is the fun-damental problem with any market-based system.”

The Coali t ion After Proper ty Tax Reform agrees with the Ontario PC Party for a need to bring stability back to the assess-ment system.

And Topp has com-

mented that, “if Finance Minister [Greg] Sorbara had combined his four-year cycle with our call for a five per cent cap on annual assessment increases, he would have provided real property tax stability for Ontario’s homeowners.”

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation also disagrees with the McGuinty property assessment plan. The f e d e r a t i o n ' s O n t a r i o Director, Kevin Gaudet says of the 2007 Ontario budget ’s proposa l on property assessment, “this is not the real reform that is needed for Ontario’s

b r o ke n p r o p e r t y t a x assessment system …This merely delays the pain of a tax increase, and c r e a t e s a f i n a n c i n g plan that continues to overpay the Property Tax Man.”

D o u g R e y c r a f t , t he Pres iden t o f the A s s o c i a t i o n s o f Municipalities of Ontario said after the budget, “Ontar io’s proper ty taxpayers are going to be disappointed with this budget,” and that, “Ontario's going to cont inue to have high property taxes, despite what we heard in the budget.”

Student heritage fairs are an opportunity to see stu-dents in action.

Since its beginning in 1993, the Historica Fairs Program has grown to include more than 263,000 students in 1,000 commu-nities across Canada each year. In the long term, it is the Historica Foundation’s intention that every eligible student in Canada will have the opportunity to partici-pate in a fair or an online fair showcase during his or her years at school.

Historica Fairs begin as hands-on, independent research projects. Students learn and teach others about Canadian heroes and legends, milestones in their communities, or family achievements.

The first level of presen-tation of these multi-media student projects is the indi-vidual school. Delegates from the schools then go to a regional fair.

Regional Historica Fairs are vibrant community cel-ebrations. Most regional

fairs include heritage-relat-ed activities like educa-tional workshops, cultural performances, and guest speakers. All regional fairs have public open hours when students are asked to interpret their projects for

visitors, thereby sharing their stories with the com-munity.

The Ottawa regional fair will be held at the Canadian War Museum on April 4, with the public invited from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The provinc ia l fa i r is being held in Ottawa at Library and Archives Canada on May 18th and will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

There is a national fair with delegates from the provincial ones and it is being held in Lethbridge, Alberta, June 9 to 16.

I welcome suggestions, comments, and queries at [email protected].

She explained that while the competition gave her the opportunity to make some very important con-tacts with industry experts, she already had a full-time career lined up in manage-ment consulting upon grad-uation.

“I thought it would be an excellent opportunity,” she said. “And the car is target-ed at my demographic.”

Walker worked tire-lessly on her submission, dispensing a full weekend on her business plan which outlines the goals of the ad campaign, the target audi-ence and key selling points among other things. She explained that her final pre-sentation took up most of her time for the two weeks leading up to the presenta-tion day.

The experience was a very positive one and Walker learned a lot from

it. “It taught me not just

about marketing strate-gies but also about how to express ideas clearly and to know what judges want,” she said.

Her advice for oth-ers who may compete in similar competitions in the future is to be as creative as they can but to make sure that the idea is feasible and can be implemented quick-ly because that is what the company is looking for. She also stresses the importance of being able to sell your-self well.

The Canada’s Next Top Ad Exec competition was organized by students at McMaster University’s D e G r o o t e S c h o o l o f Business and was judged by 16 industry experts from across the country. Submissions were judged on how well they met the objectives, the execution concepts, creativity and persuasive selling elements.


WALKER, FROM FRONT PAGE

Walker attended St. Pius X before Queen's

However, if the project had gone ahead, she says it would have taken RCMP employees living in the east end to Barrhaven with just one extra bus stop.

“The same bus they took to Vanier, they would

go one stop further to the University of Ottawa and get on the train,” Harder says. She says she would be more than happy to see the federal government provide matching funds for infrastructure projects to accommodate the RCMP transportation needs.

Poilievre says he pushed for this information to be provided to the city as soon as possible instead of the planned two years from now.

The information was compiled using the postal codes employees provided to the RCMP for the 4,000

positions that will be re-located. Employees who did not provide a postal code or whose postal code were obviously out of date (i.e. listing a province such as Newfoundland) were not included. However, the data was extrapolated based on the representative sample.
