consecutive nights Sparring off In Acton night before Walt Elliot Dave Whiting and Wolf met again for two hours in Georgetown at Sacre Questions ranged anywhere from the environment auto Insurance to pay equity and abortion male whos making three times much I say its a travesty PC candidate Dave Whiting said many women are superior to men in their Jobs and thai in he real estate business women are treated in an equal fashion The problem with the questioners salary level probably has more to do with Job classification and needs to be changed said Mr Whiting Youre going to have to have ihe job upgraded ireclassified he the audience In which each party member was allowed to answer There were no clear winners or losers in debate but each of the candidates a distinctly dif ferent approach In trying lo woo voters This was more than apparent in the candidates summaries and introductory remarks Liberal Wall Elliot outlined record of the Peterson government on strong leadership and a solid record of success He listed a number of Liberal programs in itiated in the province which will affect all of us he said Wolf of Ihe New democratic Party talked about programs to help disadvantaged in areas of pen sious day care and housing Most people in this country dont have a union fight for them so they need a government who will fight for them Strong representation at the local level by a proven elected official was Progressive Conservative can didate Dave Whiting main plat form during his opening remarks Its time that someone spoke to gel our share of the provincial pie In the form of tax dollars he said A woman who works for Town of Hills found support for her concerns about pay equity Dons Fuller said she has spent six years in university but has been told she is making up to a third less money than what males are receiving in her candidate Fern Wolf said she was not particularly hoppy with the equal pay legislation but because of the Liberal NDP accord at least a dent was made In addressing the problem However in order to get full equal pay for work of equal value for all women people will have lo vote for the said Mr Elliot of the Liberals said the are not only ones concerned about pay He said the pro vince should work towards pay scales based so ley on qualifications If working side by side a Candidates asked about peace Editors Nole The following article by Duval member of Ihe HAND which stands Tor Mill Action for Nuclear Disarmament She asked each of he candidates for heir comments about disarmament Is he arms race a factor polities Yes Indeed Last November the Legislature voted overwhelmingly to It is easier said than done however A recent survey of local shows a difference of opinion on implementing the mottion candidate Fern Wolf says she supports a full process of economic conversion through which workers and businesses would move from manufacture of nuclear weapons components nonmilitary production without loss of jobs Companies would also be prevented from new contracts to make nuclear weapons related products as some do Ms Wolf would also ban the proposed Ontario Hydro sale of tritium an essential component for nuclear weapons to the US and elsewhere In an effort to stifle weapons production Further she would support a ban on the transport of this highly toxic substance around the province by truck If the sales are permitted She also would end lowlevel flights and nuclearwar fighting practice manoeuvres by NATO bombers over northern Ontario These flights are receiving strong opposition from environmentalists and local inhabitants including Native People PC candidate Dave Whiting says that while he Is not in favour of the escalating arms race he also does not favour any form of government control over free enterprise He says that our way of life Is based on the free enterprise system and that the prosperity that we enjoy today is a result of that system He feels that policies such as economic conversion of Industry away from nuclear weapons components production and a ban on tritium sales represents a socialist approach to controlling all of our industries In this province We have seen too many great countries in parts of the world literally destroyed by socialism Whiting does not suggest alternate means by which Ontario might try to slow the arms Libera candidate Walt Elliot did not respond to the survey by press time It was under Liberal government that the province was declared a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone but subsequent motions to give teeth to the policy were allowed to die on the order paper Such motions will un appear again in next Legislature and voters will then find out how serious legislators are about helping to suffocate a costly and pointless arms race said One why wt the people in Ontario speak French money Is being spent on bil ingual ism Walt Elliot said that Bill outlines the tension of French language rights where It is warranted Canada had two founding fathers and Is a Ingual country he added There Is no agenda for making Ontario of finally bilingual however he said Mr Whiting said he was transfer red out of Ottawa as an of ficer because he couldnt speak French The candidate said his daughter has been In French immer sion since Grade l and he ap preciates the doors Ihe language may open up for her However the PC campaigner said It always scares him when we have to legislate rights for people Again II always scares me because we start legislating equality for somebody it equal Ms Wolf said she was proud to be pari of a country that recognizees two cultures If legislating language rights warranted in an area then thats the logical way to approach it she said We do to legislate for those who dont have voice and who arent getting equal treating especially when comes to French Canadians In Canada A question was raised about auto Insurance and whether or not those in insurance industry would be put of work Ms Wolf said here will still bo people to look after the insurance in dustry and even more Jobs could be created Drivers wouldnt be discriminated under a provmcially sponsored plan Also per cent of insurance brokers In British

schools differed The doors have lo be opened all the way now for funding schools now that separate schools receive provincial grants said Mr Whiting Walt Elliot said he doesnt support funding other than lo separate and public schools It would erode fur tiler the education system he said Separate school funding is historically based In an agreement made ago But when a system Is funded you do public control said Fern Wolf On the question of abortion clinics operating illegally in Toronto Ms Wolf said well have to wait for the Supreme Court to make a ruling I dont feel anything should be open il legally We have to follow the law Mr Whiting as an of ficer they didnt allow people to keep their illegal stilts operating until thu trial and the same should stand for the abortion clinics
