area Joycees All Candidates Candidates face new questions farts of be All Candidates Night last Thursday night In he Georgetown District High School took on the tone of a Stump the Candidates Contest as the three provincial election hopefuls for Halton Burlington tangled with some rarely mentioned issues Issues like the need for the universal product codes on all food packages the sale of dead and diseased animals in Ontario and the Hungry Hollow housi subdivi But as the forum chair man Doug Flshburn even a number of questions from some of the younger members of tbe audience finally returned the evening to a normal state of friendly debate The night sponsored by tbe Georgetown saw the three candidates come out with a fairly even sawoff by the end of the two hours of discussions The Bill Johnson provided perhaps the strongest attack against his op ponents Julian Reed tbe Liberal candidate definitely fielded the most questions while PC Gary was kept busy fielding the most accusations The evening for the moat part was a genial affair with well over GOO people In at tendance The tone of the meeting was set immediately after the three candidates had made their brief introductory speeches A faulty microphone was giving Mr Reed some problems until Mr picked It up and boomed out Is this The audience appreciated he humor in the thick of a campaign that has been hard hitting and often times very negative In tone The three candidates were pretty well equally unprepared for such questions as their stands on the gross In competence shown by provincial meat inspectors to allow diseased meats to be sold in Ontario or What farm products or grains do you feel are not being- In Ontario to provide a sufficient supply In the Immediate future The three candidates got back onto the more stan election issues such as their stands on regional government thanks to a question by student Chris Burke dealing with the can opinions of regionalism Regional government Is full of holes It stacked with layer upon layer of bureaucracy but It I fortunately here to stay commented Mr Reed when Burke if his party would abolish regional governments If the Liberals s come in power would redistribute the power of control back to the Individual communities along with the money hat Is being spent by the region con Mr Reed Planning has got to go much further than Just the region It must be done on a provincewide basis Replying to a statement by Mr Reed that the province deficit has Increased since Premier Davis took over the Premiers office to the point Where the provincial govern ment s deficit financing is now costing the Ontario taxpayers million in interest charges annually Mr stated I wouldn t mind owing a million dollars If my income was four million dollars The province he said with the revenue It is receiving now could pay off the debt In six and one- all months If you compare the government s spending under Bill Davis with spending by previous administrations find that the Davis government Is spending less In comparison The thorny problem of education and The Three was brought Into the debate on a question by Bill Gage In which he asked the three candidates their opinions on returning to a core curriculum Mr Johnson explained that tbe NDP platform is based solidly on returning the control of education policies to local boards of trustees Mr explained that the major problem with the education system of today is that we have too much of a core curriculum system already Confusion Is created in the overabundance he said As to the design of the present system he noted that It had been formulated with assistance from teachers To that Mr Reed replied that the core curriculum la not Imposed by the region It varies from school to school so that you end up with a different set of standards between schools He called for a uniform set of standards across the province Moving to the fuel crisis in Ontario and the removal of the freeze on gas prices Mr Johnson stated that the only way to handle It should be through the courts The Nova Scotia government did It and the in Ontario would definitely take the same steps That where the gas and oil companies con be stopped and controDod bo When asked If the sales tax reduced Just prior to the election announcement from seven percent to five percent would be raised again If tbe PC s were returned to power Mr commented I would presume It would The reason It was Initiated was to stimulate the economy which It has done quite el Taking a quick rap at the federal Liberals Mr added It was an Interim method of controlling unemployment something the federal government wouldn t do Mr Reed answered that later with his own example of government inaction this time by the Ontario PC la in the throne speech Davis promised to bring in seat belt legislation They then spent Buckle Up campaign which was a complete waste because they didnt nave the legislation to support the enforcement of it Mr Johnson called for special mandatory seat belt legislation as well as a reduction of speed limit on provincial highways to They have on all the cars now that tell you when you havent got your seat belt fastened They should have a similar one to tell you every time you go over the speed limit When asked by John Robinson bow each of them would continue to have close contact with bis constituents
