Three candidates face voters Continued from pg. 1 Chong said his government would continue to provide the Province with "an escalator rate of 6 per cent per annum" beyond 2014. "Provinces need to get their health care costs under control." The environment and what they would do to promote a post carbon economy was another question raised. Green Party candidate Bouteiller said their approach would be to shift taxes from incomes onto pollution and resource waste. "We want to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from everything we're doing," said Bouteiller. Chong said the environment had fallen off the radar screen in the past few years because of the economy but he believes it's the biggest challenge for his generation. He said he's fought to get his party to agree to a new national park in the GTA, and he's also fought to get funds for GO Transit. "The expansion of GO Transit is an important part of our environmental sustainability," said Chong. Peters asked why the Conservative government has done nothing. "Where's Stephen Harper? Where's the Conservative government? We've abandoned our Kyoto targets," said Peters. Other questions from the crowd of more than 250 touched on the CBC, simplified tax filing and reigning in the powers of the Canadian Border Services Agency.
