4 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, Wednesday, August 10,1994 Section Two Queen's Park Report by Gord Mills, M.P.P. Continued from Page 3 I also read an article by Larry Solway in which he wrote that he was amused in advance that the NDP proposed proposed to put on their shining armor, mount their white chargers and charge fearlessly into the fray against arch-villain Conservative George Kerr who had the nerve to grant Ontario Ontario Hydro an exemption from environmental environmental hearings to build the nuclear nuclear generating station at Darlington. Larry Solway, went on to say, "What opportunistic bombast! What politi- Exciting Extravaganza Previews Clarington Day at the Exhibition tive as well.

Nuclear waste can be disposed of effectively. Plutonium waste can be recycled. We need this kind of great electrical Arab." There isn't much doubt that Ontario's Ontario's deficit has been "fuelled" by the $ 18-billion it took to build Darling-; ton. The battle we face today, is to keep hydro affordable so that the industrial industrial customers can remain competitive competitive in world markets. Keeping Hydro affordable with a debt of $ 18- billion and the accompanying interest charges, is indeed a formidable task. Last Friday, I was marking the official official opening of Halcyon Place in Cobourg on behalf of the Minister of Housing, The Honourable Evelyn Gigantes. This complex, which will house 40 seniors citizens is the work of Northumberland Supportive Non- Profit Housing Corporation. Halcyon Place contains 34 one-bedroomed apartments and six two-bedroomed apartments, three of which have been designed for the disabled. Every apartment is very much needed for our seniors, who are on fixed and limited incomes. Several seniors have told me lately lately how they feel about the universality universality of health-care. Many have said their contribution to our country in tough times should at least be worth something in their golden years. More have said that at no time have they called on the government for help for anything, yet now they see themselves deprived of full health coverage when travelling, something they consider as not being fair. Of course, there is much to be said in support of the position. A position that I have from time to time expressed expressed to the Minister of Health. Likewise, the universality of Old Age Security was something to look forward forward to. But alas, that isn't so anymore anymore either. Last week, I received that buff colour envelope with red lettering on it, the one we all just love to get in the mail, that told me to send back my Old Age Security Benefits Benefits for 1993, and in the future to send it back every quarter, and not wait to be told! Universality of Old Age Security Benefits is now just a In the Editor's Mail Welcome Back! Dear John: So you missed me! Well, I missed you too.
