While in Sudbury last Wednesday attending the public hearings on Bill 115, I received the very sad news of Marg Wilbur's tragic death. Many of us in the Durham area knew Marg as a tireless community and NDP worker. She touched the • lives of many people with her energy and commitment to helping people. Marg ran for the NDP provincially and federally in Durham East. She was the person who inspired me to get involved involved with the NDP. Like many others others I valued her friendship and her advice. advice. Her passing is a terrible blow to our community. We will all miss her very much. But she has left behind a legacy that will continue to be a source of inspiration to many. The high esteem esteem in which Marg was held was evident evident at her funeral in Lakefield on Friday. Friday. Those attending to pay their respects included government ministers, ministers, the Lewis family, labour leadèrs, representatives from Community Care Associations, the Port Perry Library Board, and many neighbours and friends. I have searched my mind for the right tribute to pay Marg. I think John Wesley's Rule is very fitting: Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, At all the places you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. Margaret Wilbur lived that rule in life, and she remains an inspiration for the rest of us.

Committee members heard from religious organizations, labour unions, retailers, the Chamber of Commerce, the tourist industry, and large retailers. retailers. Many of these groups have strong opposing views on this issue. While it is impossible to satisfy everyone with this Bill, the purpose of hearings is for us to listen and make the legislation better through public input. This is one reason draft tourism regulations were put out with the Bill. Usually regulations are drafted separately at a lent took later date. Our government the unusual step of opening the draft regulations regulations up for comment from the public public as part of our ongoing commitment to a more open government. This week the Committee will be visiting Ottawa, Peterborough, Kingston Kingston and Toronto.
