The Skeena Social Credit’ Association has expressed its shock and dismay at the disclosure that’ the provincial welfare department is running $100 million over budget.

The fact that welfare ex- pendilure has risen lo $364 million - about $700-per B.C. family - is largely the result of

. the socialist philosophy that is

prevalent in the prevince, the spokesman said. Everyone ‘feels that he has’ no respon- sibility ta the society - to work

_ and to. saye -. because the

ggvernment will look after him, . he slaled. The Skeena Socred

-ASsociation has laken a stand’ -

un welfare, as-staled in their contribulion ta the Provincial Parly, policy Convention. The Association [eels that each individual must accept his share of responsibilily. in the suciely. . Men should improve ihemselves by their. own free and independent action, not as leaches on the success of olhers through often-neediess welfare

payments. “Northing squelches

spokesman went on lo say. The Skeena Socred Associalion would want the entire welfare system re-examined and wauld

offer assislance.to only those in

need - single parents, unem- ployables, pensioners, cic. All, those able to work would be. ‘treated’ under .a. different program. The spokesman pointed to the example of the Surray municipality that removed all single employable men from (he welfare rolls over the summer months and 95 per cent of [hem, were able to find work,

The Skeena Socred association reels that the ‘gverspending in welfare is a good example of lack of ‘responsibility on (we counts; -Jack’of responsibility on the part of the premier, who, as Minister of ‘Finance did not detect. the error long before it reached the $100 million mark; and lack of responsibility on the part of the welfare system thal allows too many “people to accept (he benefits of te system. without ‘contributing to it.

The fact that Premier Barrett shrugs the overspending off as a mere “clerical error” ‘boggles the imagination, he stated. The man would’ have more

The Skeena Social Credit Ass'n belives that-any govern- ment which laxes away the rewards, of. responsible- behaviour so thal it can remove the’ penallies of irresponsible behaviour is something that we- do not want in British Columbia. The Skeena Social Credit party demands Mr. Barrett account for theaddilional funds spent on Welfare and take steps to -cut drastically the unnecessary welfare paymenis (hal all of us as taxpayers musl bear.
