A wide range of topics was discussed at a
meeting organized by Marlene White, the Liberal candidate, in the Legion
Hall, Apsley, June 12/07, with John McKay, Chair of the Liberal Caucus
Committee on Economic Prosperity. Most discussion revolved around taxation
of income trusts and the question of candidates’ responsibility in
representing constituents’ interests. Taxation of the trusts has resulted
in reduction of their value in financial markets. It was explained that
representing constituents’ interests takes place within caucus behind
closed doors, where the Party as a whole considers and balances
constituents’ interests and wishes across the entire country. Voting in
the House of Commons must reflect the party’s official point of view as
developed in caucus. Lack of such party discipline can be seen in the U.S.
where members of Congress vote as they wish, opening the way for control
by big money such as the U.S. sugar industry and others, leaving ordinary
private constituents’ points of view not represented. A second meeting was
held later in the day at the Bobcaygeon Kawartha Settlers’ Village,
Bobcaygeon. |
