Reed alleged (without checking any facts) that I had i from a fed- eral government agency which was important to Acton, and that I sat on this for two months waiting for an election call so I could take credit. As officials from the Halton Hills Chamber of Commerce said in a press conference last week, this is false and To the Editor: Your weekend editorial suggests that all the politi- cal parties are locked in a bidding war to reduce-the deficit. I would like to remind you that the Reform Party announced their detailed Deficit reduction Program (zero in three years) in spring of this year and the other parties have failed to respond in kind. ¢ The Garth Turner Conservatives hope to reduce the deficit in five years or maybe by of the century, but no spe- cific plans on how to do this, however. And, after nine years of talk, actions always speak louder than words; ¢ The Liberals will reduce the deficit by increasing government spending (new math).

Our “Zero in 3” deficit remains still, the only detailed plan with cuts spelled out in detail. Last week, we received full endorsement from the Globe and Mail, as the only party which has a plan, and It cuts ‘deeply, but judi- ciously. It would entail no genuine hardship to any- one, nor. would it harm essential services.” The debt and deficit is killing the economy, jobs and our children’s future.
