here is nothing simple about government finances these days. Yet the provincial government would have us partici­ Tpate in a consultative exercise that is simplistic in itself. This isn't to say Finance Minister Paul Ramsey shouldn't attempt to gather public input as part of preparing his budget for the coming fiscal year. But we hope he relies a great deal more on background information to which he has ready access and the pub­ lic does not. Budget 2000: Choices and Challenges is a pre-budget discussion paper designed to present the public with information about cur­ rent economic conditions and government finances. The paper is a good summary of where we stand and where we might be going. But it falls woefully short of providing enough information for anyone to make informed recommendations about budget planning, which is what it asks for. The paper concludes with several questions that seek to identify the public's priorities. It's an easy thing for British Columbians to state whether they would like to see more money spent on health care. With the abundance of news stories about treatment delays few people are going to urge government to spend less in this area. But how useful is that to the finance ministry? It would seem that ideas are what this government needs as it drafts its first budget of the millennium, ideas that transcend philo­ sophical differences and potentially emotional issues such as uni­ versal health care. The issue for Ramsey is not so much the amount of money that goes into government programs, but how it is spent. Reforming the health care system should have been made a priority several years Sylvia Sikundar feeds the swans at Fulford Harbour Photo by Derrick Lundy ago but leaderless governments have backed off from attempting to handle such a hot potato. There is one piece of advice that most people could offer this government. Few households are unaware of the need to keep their New system of values and ethics spending less than their income. Not too many years ago few gov­ ernments understood this simple fact of fiscal prudence.

Besides being a prolific artist in oils and watermedia, he is highly regarded as an instructor and mentor to emerging and established artists. FRIDAY & SATURDAY JAN. 21 & 22 In both his representational and non-representational impressions, McDiarmid's work expresses a fascination with light and its articulation of colour and pattern.
