Small turn-out at holiday weekend meeting Reform Party won't scrap GST ® The Reform Party of Canada won't scrap the Goods and Services Tax (GST) if iFever forms a national government, but it will only use the revenue to pay off the debt And by doing this, personal income taxes could be lowered after two or three years, Harry Tunbridge told a Reform Party "information meeung" held last Friday evening at the Latcham Centre in Port Perry. Tunbridge, the main speaker for the evening, is vice president for the Reform Party association in the riding of Durham. A" resi- dent of Ashburn, he ran under the Confederation of Regions (COR) - banner in the last provincial elec- on, There were only about 60 peo- ple at the meetipg, the small wrn- out perhaps dfe to the start of the Canada Day 'Weekend.

But he did say the S13 billion spent on bilingdalism would build 17 new hospitals. "Can we afford this? The answer is no," he stated. As for Quebec, he said that province is welcome to be part of special considerations from the other provinces. There was a smattering of applause for that statement. Asked why the Reform Party is not planning to run candidates in Quebec in the next federal elec- tion, Tunbridge said at this time, 1's up to the people of Quebec 0 decide whether their future is in or out of Confederauon. ~ "On volaule issues such as capi- tal punishment apd abortion he said Reform Party politicians must state their own views before seek- ing office and if elected must respond to the wishes of con- stituents. If there is no.clear expression one way or another by "constituents, the politician would be free to vote according to con- science. Reference to abortion touched off a brief exchange when .a, woman in the audience shouted "why won't you take a stand on abortion? It's the ulumate*child abuse?" i And another member of the audience shoutefd "the abortion issue is going to rake or break the Reform Party." : Tunbridgesreplied we can't change the laws here tomight," while others in the audience shouted "get on with the next question." On other issues, he sad the Reformers believe in a Triple E Senate and some kind of recaf® of parhamentarians if they are not acting according to the wishes bf constituents.
