The Mulroney government tabled its first budget wefeks ago. Without question the most hotly debated item r4ti it was the intention to de-index t〜Ganada Pension Plan, This means peiisions will not be automatically increased to ma in ta in pace wlth the 'rate of inflation, Only when the rate of inflation exceeds 3% will pensions be adjusted upward; the pensioner absorbs the first 3%.
Cri tic ism was no t long in coming from the United Senior Citizens of Ontario。 the president of the 'U.S.C.O., Joyce king 9 says that assuming we have a four-percent in" flation rate9pensioners could find
■themselves surrendering as: much as : $1,600 back to Revenue Canada during the next five years. The U,S,C。0? of Ontario has just completed an intensive social study of Ontario seniors and according to Joyce King t\Ce new measure will be burdensome 。
The credibility of the proposal hit rock-bottom when spokesmen from
lobby groups defended complete protection of the elderly from inflatioti。 To do otherwise would mean trying to re~ duee the deficit '"on the backs of
j the poor and disadvantaged."
I By the end of the week Mr.
Mulroney had beaten a tactical re-
-:treat. The Budget measure was
called a 9■proposal'0, and since: If ■ will not become- law until 1 Jan 1986, nor be actually applied until 1 April 1986, Mr. Mulroney said there is time enough to change the-、 proposal if required.
Its clear enough the Prime Minister will change his tack where the prevailing winds demand. It is equally clear the Finance Minister; Mr. Wilson, is determined not to let "political winds" deter him from his course: the Budget9s goal of reducing the deficit.
Mr. Mulroney has not ruled out the possibility that the de-indexing of pensions may be withdrawn before the'beginning of Parliament's

summer recess. If it iLs^twa quest-ions_come to mind。 Ha$ the reversal in policy been of sufficient degree to undermine Mr. Wilson's, credibility Finance Minister? Mr. Mulroney does not seem to think so^ for he released a Gonserative poll to disgruntled P.C. Member& poll to disgruntled P.C. Membiers in-dica t ing Canadians gene ra11yapp rove of the Budge!:。
The second question is who then will be一called upon to bear the costs of. reducing the deficit? As long as Mr• Wilson is the FinariGe Minister that remains the primary objective。 Who can say they will be sheltered if pensioners can be threatened?
