By The Canadian Press Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was accused Thursday in the Commons by Opposition Leader John Turner of deliberately provoking the violent 10-day-old postal strike.Turner said the strike would not have occurred if the government had not ordered Canada Post to insist on contract concessions that are too severe for the striking letter carriers’ union to accept.“By limiting the manoeuvrability of Canada Post to negotiate, in terms of what they can settle for, he has provoked this strike," Tur- ner said.“I warn him that he is playing with fire because the post office is using the unemployed in an attempt to break the strike.” Mulroney did not respond to the allegations.And Labor Minister Pierrè Cadieux refused requests from both Turner and New Democratic Party Leader Ed Broadbent to change his mind and appoint a mediator to help resolve the bitter dispute.Turner accused the government of fuelling confrontation by using strikebreakers in a bid to keep some mail moving.“It will be the prime minister's responsibity if this matter worsens and it will be his responsibility for what happens.” he said.Cadieux said the fact that negotiations resumed Thursday without a mediator was evidence that he had taken the right course in refusing to appoint one.“Let the parties negotiate." he said.IS SATISFIED Harvie André, minister respon sible for Canada Post, also said he is satisfied with the way the dispute is going."The process that has been un folding over the last 10 days in regard to these labor negotiations is perfectly normal." he said.Broadbent said violence on picket lines would stop if ‘ he government would name a mediator and Canada Post would withdraw strikebreakers.But both André and Cadieux rejected any change in strategy."The post office has no alternative but to try to fulfil its social responsibility of delivering the mail,” André said.Meanwhile, there was no indication as talks resumed that either side was willing to give ground.Amendments will make linguistic rights more precise By Edison Stewart OTTAWA (CP) — The federal government is going to make it easier for people to go to court if they haven’t been served by federal offices in the language of their choice.The same option will also be opened to federal civil servants denied the right to work in their own language, the government said, tabling long-waited amendments to the 18-year-old Official Languages Act.The Piggery starts new season But there’s a big catch.Those rights will be limited in both cases by the federal cabinet, which will first have to decide where — besides the capital — they apply.Officials briefing reporters on the changes — now just over two years in the making — said that likely won’t be for several months yet.The proposals expand on rights set out in the 1982 Charter of Rights and Freedoms — already enforceable by the courts — which states that Canadians have the right to be served by federal offices in their own language where there is significant demand or some other reason to provide bilingual services.Officials also believe that, subject to certain conditions, civil servants already have the implicit right to work in their own language.MAKES EXPLICIT But amendments will make that right explicit and, once cabinet regulations are in place, will also be more precise as to where the right to bilingual services applies.Complaints will continue to be directed to the Official Languages Commissioner, Ottawa’s independent bilingualism watchdog.But if the results aren’t satisfactory, the complainant would be able to go to Federal Court to ‘‘grant such remedy as it considers appropriate and just in the circumstances,” the act says.In addition, the commissioner would also be empowered to finance the bulk of the costs.“The court remedy will give the commissioner a lot more leverage,” Martin Low, a senior general counsel with the Justice Department, predicted in an interview.The act also proposes to expand the right of Canadians to a criminal trial in their own language.Introduced gradually and with provincial consent since 1977-78, that right now exists or soon will in all provinces except British Columbia, Alberta and Newfoundland.The new act sets Jan.1, 1990, as the deadline for the last three to come on side.It will also impose new requirements on virtually all federal courts and tribunals — such as the Canadian Transport Commission — to have presiding officers who can understand the language of the proceedings without benefit of translation.The lone exception is the Supreme Court of Canada, whose nine-member panel is too small to be able to handle such a requirement, Low said.However, courts and tribunals other than the Federal Court and Tax Court also get a break of five years before they have to comply with the new section.As the act was tabled, Ottawa also announced another $25 million over three years to help provinces and municipalties offer services in both languages.The act also goes beyond bilingual services to state that, although the merit principle will still apply in hiring and promoting civil servants, Ottawa is committed to ensuring that “the composition of the work force of federal institutions tends to reflect the presence of both the official language communities of Canada.” RK ORD/ITKRY HHATON The cast of Artichoke put the

Bringing back the death penalty “would be a retrograde step in our society and in our law,” Justice Minister Ray Hnatyshyn told the Commons on Thursday.Hnatyshyn, who voted against capital punishment when Parliament abolished the noose in 1976, ‘Mr.Kesler, you are free’ — Judge Kesler gets acquittal for shooting CALGARY (CP) — Drugstore owner Steven Kesler gasped, then punched the air with a fist like a victorious boxer as he was acquitted Thursday for the shotgun death of a man who robbed his store last November.Relief flooded over Kesler’s face Beatty’s bill improves Canadian civil rights OTTAWA (CP) —Defence Minister Perrin Beatty said Thursday, the bill he introduced yesterday replacing the War Measures Act will offer improved protection of civil rights.The War Measures Act forces governments “to perform surgery with a sledge hammer.” Beatty said.“It's simply too broad.It doesn't respect the rights of the provinces or civil rights,” Beatty told reporters.The War Measures Act, which dates from the First World War, was invoked by the Liberal government in 1970 during the October crisis.Police across Canada used its sweeping provisions to harass political dissidents.Police detained more than 450 Quebecers without charges during the investigation into the activities of Front de Liberation du Quebec.The FLQ had kidnapped British trade commissioner James Cross and Quebec labor minister Pierre Laporte.Laporte was subsequently murdered.RESPECTS RIGHTS “It’s far more respectful of civil rights than the War Measures Act,” Beatty told reporters.“It’s also more flexible to give us the ability to deal with situations short of war — for example with natural disasters," he said.“It will recognize a range of types of emergencies and allow for a graduated response.’ Beatty noted that support for civil liberties is most needed during a crisis, but people are least likely to support them at such times.“That’s why it’s important for us to bring in legislation during a period of calm, when people could look at what sort of balance has to be struck between the protection of society at large and the protection of individual rights." as the foreman of a Court of Queen’s Bench jury announced the verdict on a charge of second-degree murder.“Mr.Kesler, you are free,” said Mr.Justice Arthur Lutz after the verdict came down.“Thank you My Lord,’’ replied Kesler.Minutes later, as he left the Calgary courthouse flanked by his jubilant daughters Marlene, 13, and Patricia, 11, he said the verdict was a great relief.“A great burden was removed from me and the life of my family with that verdict,” he said.“Whatever you think I feel, I feel just great.” Kesler refused to answer repea- ted questions about whether he still intends to keep a gun in his store.Defence lawyer Jim Ogle, who held his head in his hands as the verdict was read, said he doesn’t think the verdict is a indication that storekeepers across Canada can arm themselves.“People that know the full facts of this case, I don’t believe for a minute will get that message from it,” he insisted.“The background that this man had to endure in the robberies and the terror that he went through, that does not put him into an average storekeeper category.” Crown prosecutor Bob Davie said he couldn’t comment on the case.said his views have not changed since then : The death penalty does not deter murder and cannot be justified on moral grounds.“It is inconsistent to use state-sanctioned killing to punish the crime of murder.The return of the death penalty would be the ultimate act of despair by our justice system.” The minister said he can share the anguish of those who have lost a loved one and who want to see jus tice done.But vengeance cannot be the basis of criminal law.And he acknowledged that opi nion polls have consistently shown a majority of respondents in favor of capital punishment.That is “a reflection of the frustration felt by the average Canadian with our criminal justice system.” He cited a royal commission, headed by Judge Orner Archambault of Saskatchewan, which noted such a sense of public frustration and which recommended sentencing and parole reforms to get tough with violent criminals.The commission report was delivered earlier this year.‘‘ But whatever public perception is with respect to the adequacy of the criminal justice system, restoration of the death penalty is not the answer,” said Hnatyshyn.“I believe that with my entire being and heart.” DEFENDS MULRONEY Hnatyshyn nevertheless defended the decision of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, another opponent of the death penalty, to permit a Commons debate and a free vote on restoration.“We are deluding ourselves if we, as a government, think we can somehow shuffle important issues under the rug,” said Hnatyshyn.“If people feel that important issues are not brought before the House of Commons, they will not only lose faith in our criminal justice system, they’ll lose faith in our democratic institutions.” Mulroney, who spoke against the death penalty in the House earlier this week, pledged to allow renewed debate on the issue when he was running for the Conservative leadership in 1983 and again during the general election in 1984.Mandatory drug sentence ruled ‘cruel and unusual’ OTTAWA (CP) — The Supreme Court of Canada today struck down the mandatory seven-year prison sentence for importing narcotics, ruling that the penalty violates constitutional guarantees against cruel and unusual punishment.In a 5-1 decision in the ease of Edward Dewey Smith, a Vancouver man convicted of importing cocaine.the high court ruled that it is not in itself unconstitutional for Parliament to set a minimum sentence for a crime.But the seven-year minimum set by the federal Narcotic Control Act disregards the differences between various types of drugs and the quantity imported, wrote Mr.Justice Antonio Lamer.It also treats as irrelevant the reasons for importing and takes no account of whether the accused has any previous convictions.Lamer rejected Crown arguments that the law, even if it violates individual rights, is justified by the ovei riding need to combat drug trafficking.The seven-year minimum “will surely deter people from importing narcotics,” said Lamer.“However, it is not necessary to sentence the small offender to seven years in prison to deter the serious offender ’ OTHER AGREE Four other judges agreed with Lamer on the main points of the judgment, although some split on other points and filed separate opinions which also held the law to be unconstitutional.The only dissenter was Mr Justice William McIntyre, who maintained that Parliament was not only justified in seeking to deter drug trafficking, but also that the law did not violate the discretion that must be granted to the sentencing judge to take account of differences in individual cases.Smith was arrested as he returned from Bolivia carrying IVi ounces of cocaine that was 85 to 90 per cent pure.The trial judge in Vancouver county court ruled that the seven-year minimum term provided by law was a violation of the Charter of Rights But he imposed an eight-year term on Smith based on the sentence and also held that the provision for a seven-year minimum sentence did not violate the charter guarantee against cruel and unu-sal punishment.The Supreme Court ruling means the case will be sent back to the B.C.appeal court for reconsideration of the sentence.Lamer said he was sending the case back because it was not clear whether the appeal court, in evaluating the proper sentence for Smith and the individual circumstances of his case, had been influenced by the seven-year minimum which now has been struck down r 2—The RECORD—Friday, June 26, 1987 ‘Lady’ comment gets slap on wrist for OTTAWA (CP) — When the action gets heated in the Commons, even the most experienced of politicians can forget the rules.That’s what happened when Ed Broadbent, the New Democratic Party leader, got into a donny-brook with Trade Minister Pat Carney on Tuesday.Carney had taken exception to a Broadbent remark the day previous, in which the NDP chief said Carney was lying about whether the Auto Pact is on the table in free-trade talks.The Americans keep suggesting it is, but the Canadian side denies that.A furious Carney asked that Broadbent’s “obnoxious, despicable” comments be referred to a Commons committee for for examination.Broadbent argued she had no case, but Carney suggested that legal action was a possibility.“Well, if the minister wants to take legal action, I say to her right now, go ahead, lady, do it,” Broadbent retorted.Carney said she would not deny she was a lady, but pointed out that under Commons rules it was deemed sexist to call her one — a true faux pas for a New Democrat.Then she started packing up her papers to leave, which is when Broadbent made his second flub.He drew attention to the fact that she was leaving the Commons “in a great huff.” That drew a scolding both from Speaker John Fraser, who said it was tradition not to refer to a member’s presence or absence, and a brief return by Carney to state that she was off on official business.External Affairs Minister Joe Clark then tagged up and entered the ring to do battle with Broadbent.Eventually, the New Democrat left the House in a huff of his own, uttering on his way out: “Up yours, Joe.” That remark inspired another point of privilege by Clark, but as the principal combatants had gone, it was only a few minutes longer before order was restored.On the sexism front.Senator Lorna Marsden, a Hogtown Liberal, has been asking lately for lists of members on government advisory boards, to find out how many are women.She was told that out of 20 consultants tabbed by the government for advice on tax reform, all were male.She now has requested a list of advisers to the government on free trade, with some indication of the sex of the individuals involved.She’ll find that there are some women in this group but that they are a minority.Today’s Conservatives may be in the throes of gutting Sir John A.Macdonald's National Policy with their move toward free trade with the United States, but that doesn’t stop them from suggesting tributes to the Old Chieftain.The latest comes from Rob Nicholson, MP for Niagara Falls, who suggests in a private member’s bill the establishment of a new statutory holiday on the second Monday in February to be called Sir John A.Macdonald Day.Nicholson said in statement with the introduction of his bill that Macdonald was responsible more than any other person for the creation of Canada and a day should be set aside to honor him.A February national holiday has been proposed many times before, with a variety of suggested names, including Heritage Day.Consumer Affairs Minister Harvie Andre, who is responsible for Canada Post, might have been taken aback the other day when a Quebec Tory demanded that strikebreakers not be used by the agency in the letter carriers’ work stoppage.Guy St-Julien said letter carriers are very popular in his riding of Abitibi, often the only people who’ll stop to visit the lonely or to help the ill or helpless.“Ever since the conflict started, Canada Post has treated its employees very badly,” St-Julien said.“It has used scabs.I warn the president of Canada Post and his officials not to use this kind of repulsive tactic in Abitibi, for it could .poison the working climate for quite a long time.” It has been dry in the Ottawa area lately, and regional water officials made a pitch for water conservation by placing newspaper ads asking that the public refrain from watering lawns.So guess who kept watering the grass after the ads appeared?Right.The sprinklers were going on Parliament Hill and on the lawns of city hall in suburban Nepean.Legislation to overhaul the Official Languages Act was introduced in the Commons on Thursday, and the government held a lockup so reporters could prepare their stories to run when the bill was tabled.As usual, government officials provided some snacks for the journalists to gnaw on as they plowed through the documents.But somehow the food didn’t match the commitment to bilingualism.Croissants were on the table, but no English muffins.Godfrey says sorry for calling colleagues veggies Broadbent Capital Notebook By Vic Parsons The Canadian Press OTTAWA (CP) — Senator John Godfrey apologized Thursday for calling some of his physically inca-pacitated colleagues “vegetables.” “This was a thoughtless, cruel and inappropriate expression which I deeply regret,” he said in the Senate.On Tuesday, Godfrey proposed a motion to toughen attendance rules for the Senate so that the "vegetables” who show up once every few years and collect their full pay could be kicked out of the upper chamber.He said his motion was aimed at people “who are.you know, vegetables, some of them, who are wheeled in by their families.Ins- tead of resigning and getting two-thirds pension or something, they’re wheeled in just for the extra money.” Godfrey said in an interview Thursday that he had received several complaints about his remarks.People who are physically incapacitated are not necessarily mentally incapacitated as well, he said.The current attendance rules stipulate that senators who fail to appear in the Senate once in two consecutive sessions of Parliament must resign their seats.“We have had cases of people who are just wheeled in in a wheelchair once very two sessions,” Godfrey said.CIRCULATION DEPT.— S69-9S2I #1____ttiei ifBcora $13.20 $1.60 $60.00 $35.50 $24.50 $14.00 $120.00 $72.00 $46.00 $24.00 Etlabllthed February 9, 1897,

administration lied to Meese WASHINGTON (AP> — An assistant to the U S.attorney general testified Thursday that senior administration officials prepared false testimony to deceive Congress and then lied to Attorney General Edwin Meese as the Iran-Contra affair was unravelling last November.Charles Cooper also told the Iran-Contra committees that President Ronald Reagan expressed “complete surprise” when he was told that some of the profits from arms sales to Iran had been turned over to the rebel s fighting the Nicaraguan government.Cooper himself took the brunt of committee members’ criticism of Meese’s first investigation into administration involvement in the affair.The members suggested that the case should have been conducted by experienced investigators and that it might have done significant harm by tipping off Lt.-Col.Oliver North and others that records would be sought.Senator Warren Rudman (R-N.H.) said: “There is other evidence you are unaware of and only the committee is aware of about shredding.You will hear other evidence that I think will make you feel even probably worse than you feel now.“By the time you got to looking at things, there was enough shred to fill up a half of a boxcar.You telegraphed what you were doing to North on Sunday afternoon and North knew exactly what to do when he heard what you had.” Sunday, Nov.23, was when Meese and aides told North they had his memo spelling out the diversion plan.North’s secretary, Fawn Hall, has testified that she and North destroyed a stack of documents “a foot and a half high" the previous Friday.As for the proposed false congressional testimony, Cooper told the committees that at a meeting of top-level Reagan officials Nov.20, North personally rewrote then-CIA director William Casey 's already incorrect version of early arms sales to Iran, heightening the deception.Cooper said John Poindexter, then the national security adviser, and Casey himself were there but raised no objection.At one point, the hearing produced this riveting exchange between Representative Bill McCollum (R-Fla.) and the Justice Department official.McCollum: “So the point of it all is we had a group of people, at least three of them and possibly four in Col.North.Admiral Poindexter, Mr.(Robert) McFarlane and probably director Casey who were deliberately deceiving and lying to the attorney general of the United States about the involvement of the United States in the shipment of these missiles in November of 1985.isn’t that a fact?“I think it is,” Cooper replied.His testimony about men who served at the highest levels of government was stated quietly, but it was as explosive as any heard in almost seven weeks of the televised Iran-Contra hearings.Equal pay should be amended — Fairweather OTTAWA (CP) — The human rights commissioner says he wants more teeth in federal pay equity laws so employers will stop dragging their feet and pay men and women equally for similar work.“Implementation of pay equity has been slow and uneven,’’ commissioner Gordon Fairweather said today at a news conference where he proposed changes to the act.He said equal pay for work of equal value laws should be amended to force employers to draw up pay equity plans and abide by them.Employees now are responsible for enforcing the act, which will be 10 years old this summer.If employees feel there is discrimination, they can complain to the commission.“The commission itself, without a complaint to act on, has largely been restricted to encouraging, rather than requiring, compliance,” Fairweather said.The act “permits employers to drag their feet in the knowledge that unless one of their employees files a complaint, they can ignore pay equity.” The commission’s proposal would affect about 300,000 female workers in the federal labor sector, which includes banking, transportation, communications and the armed forces.STILL MAKE MORE Men in that sector working fulltime earned an average of $28,848 in 1985, while women earned $18,736 or 64.9 per cent of wages paid to men.Fairweather said studies indicate about half that wage gap is due to discrimination by em- ployers and would cost about $1 billion to rectify.The commission’s proposal would require bosses and employee representatives to determine the relative worth of jobs performed by workers in male- and female-dominated groups.For example, cafeteria workers, who are mostly female, might be paid less than custodians, who are mostly male, even though their jobs involve similar working conditions and are of equal value to the employer.The employer would be required to raise the wages of the underpaid cafeteria workers.Under the proposal, employers with more than 100 workers would have to file an affidavit with the commission saying they had a plan for adjusting their female employees’ wages.If they fail to file the affidavit, the commission would see that as evidence the company was doing nothing about pay equity and would file a complaint itself.Companies which drew up plans but didn’t act on them would also come under the commission’s scrutiny.Under other legislation now in force — the employment equity law — the commission gets to examine how many female workers a company has and what their wage brackets are.If that information showed a company wasn’t practising pay equity, the commission could file a complaint under the pay equity law.Companies found violating the law face a fine of up to $50,000.The commission estimates it would take about six years from when the legislative changes are passed to make pay equity a reality in the federal sector.Canadian medicare system for rich and poor alike Medical care is promised to all Canadians, rich or poor.But the cost is high and shortages of hospital beds are not uncommon.This report looks at the state of medicare today.By Sheryl Ubelacker The Canadian Press Ann Harrison and Cathy Urish sit cross-legged on the hospital bed in Toronto, chatting and laughing in voices left somewhat raspy by their recent lung transplants.“Oh, it’s time for our cyclosporine, ’ ’ announces Harrison, the cue that sends Urish to her room for the drug that keeps them both alive by stopping their own bodies from rejecting their new lungs.When Harrison, 42, takes cyclosporine, the only thing on her mind is making sure she measures her prescription correctly.But for Urish, 36, each dose of the drug is measured not only in milligrams but in dollars.Every 10 days for the rest of her life, Urish will pay about $200 for her cyclosporine, while Harrison will pay nothing.SAME SURGERY Both women underwent identical transplants at Toronto General Hospital to replace lungs destroyed by a genetically caused form of emphysema.Harrison won’t pay a cent for her new lungs.Urish faces a bill of about $170,000 Cdn.Harrison, a Toronto mother of two, is covered by provincially run health insurance.For Urish, from the rural community of Elkhart, 111., there is no such government-sponsored plan.And she is suing her private insurance company for the costs, which it has refused to cover because it considers the transplant experimental.“I almost feel guilty at times that I have taken all this so much for granted,” says Harrison, looking around her room at Toronto General.“I came into this (the surgery) knowing I wasn’t going to have to worry about money and not thinking about it until I heard some of the stories about Cathy.” Harrison’s experience is Canadian medicare at its best.It’s available to rich and poor alike.THE MINUS SIDE But critics see another side to the medicare coin: crowded emergency wards, waiting lists for life-sustaining surgery, and patients spending their last minutes of life on stretchers in hospital corridors because of a shortage of beds.Canada’s first provincewide medicare system was born in Saskatchewan 25 years ago, on July 1, 1962, on the theory a government plan would be cheaper than private insurance, and would be the only way of ensuring that everyone would have access to medical treatment.But Canada’s medicare program has only partly accomplished those objectives.The administrative costs of government plans have proven more economical than the numerous private insurance plans in countries such as the United States.However, the overall cost of providing health care to all Canadians has risen to staggering levels.In one response to the expense, Saskatchewan recently announced plans to cut back on some of its health programs in an effort to save money.LOWER THAN U.S.In 1985, the latest year for which national figures are available, health care ate up about $39 billion, or 8.5 per cent of the country’s gross national product.In the United States, about $450 billion, or 11 per cent of GNP, was spent last year on health care.And with more than 2,000 private insurance companies providing health coverage, it’s estimated that 15 per cent of the $450 billion is gobbled up by administration and billing costs alone.In Canada, the cost of operating medicare is tallied at less than four per cent of total health-care expenditures.Administrative savings aside, however, Canada’s medicare system has been accused of lacking the traditional fat-trimming mechanisms of private business.There is no financial incentive to limit hospital stays, expensive tests and treatments or visits to doctors because patients, hospitals, doctors and other health-care professionals know the government will pay.SPENT WISELY?Critics also question whether health-care money is being wisely spent.Does it make economic sense to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on complicated surgery that might prolong a person’s life by a few years?Should millions be spent on sophisticated technology when hospitals are complaining that too many of their acute-care beds are occupied by frail, elderly patients because there are not enough chronic-care facilities?Today, almost half of every health-care dollar is spent on those over 65.But the health-care system’s emphasis on acute care has left serious gaps in long-term services for the growing number of elderly, says Dr.Eugene Vayda, associate dean of community health at the University of Toronto.“I’m not sure the framers of medicare could have anticipated that.” Weather Today: warm and humid with a high of 30, possibility of showers this afternoon.Saturday will be cooler with a chance of thunderstorms.Doonesbury .ANPSINŒBVm- YEAH.OHBElSeiOASDOINÔ UKBTHa rr, YOU FIGURES?USING
