in ‘great bog’
of ooze

“A great bogof bureaucratic ooze in which we

all. will drown’’.was: the: description. applied

Monday night by school trustee Rubymay Par-
Trott to proposed provincial legislation which will...

give the government strict control over’ the

-_ spending of all public bodies, incleding school

board.

Trustees gave notice they will vigorously

oppose the legislation which at this point, is still

in the discussion. paper stage.

~. -It-was: described as “frightening” and
~*‘Junacy.”’
 -The:new iegislation is heralded. in an. doch :
thick discussion paper, supposed to be circulated .
to public: bodies of every: description including... -
“* “) those-under’ the jurisdiction: of the : Provincial : alk
a department of education. hoe
“3 However;,it-was- pointed out Monday night, faa
es the ‘Province: ‘‘didn’t-have the common: decen-
“-ey‘* to produce. copies enough for all: affected =
Ss people to read and, furthermore, hadset an:im- -: f
“possible deadline, Sept: 30; for its perusal. -

>» “It is lunacy and bad ‘manners on the part of
‘the provincial’ department: of finance’ and its. -
“minister, who also happens to be our MLA,’ oan
~-. said trustee Gerry Kristianson.

The document is a study which will lead to a
new financial administration act and embodies
proposal for new legislation strongly recom-
mended by the province’s auditor-general. It en-.
compasses public bodies under just about every
government branch. Education is only one of
many which will be affected.

It will. govern public bodies ranging f from ..
three-person boards with no staff, to giant public
corporations with some 12,000 employces, and:
assets of $6 billions and revenue of $1 million
annually, according to the introduction to the.

discussion paper.

What will happen if the new legislation pas-.
“ses, said Kristianson, was that spending of pub-
lic moneys would pass from the hands of elected
sepresentatives of the people to bureaucrats. It
would also mean that all: bargaining with
teachers and other employees of public bodies -
would pass from the hands of trustees to the
Government Employees Relations Board, It
would be one function lost to the people's repre-

‘sentatives.

Not only was the discussion puper frightening,
said Parrott, but it was not sent to the proper
people in the school district administration, In-
stead of being sent to the secretary-treasurer, if
was sent to the district school superintendent
and, consequently, i in many instances, was mis-
