THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday October 22, 1999 Carr will still meet constituents (Continued from page 1) P h o to b y R ic k M a d o n ik , T o ro n to S ta r Oakville M PP Gary Carr (centre) is escorted to the Speaker's chair by fellow MPPs, Ted Arnott (left) and Bill Murdoch. "I'll just say a few words. It's mostly cere monial," Carr said just prior to W eston's address. The Speaker's job comes with a $24,000 pay boost on top of his $78,000 salary as MPP, plus a private apartment at Queen's Park. C arr made it clear, however, that the Speaker's duties will be in addition to those o f his role as Oakville MPP. He will continue to maintain his local constituency office and plans to keep meeting with area residents on issues o f concern. The biggest change will be to C a rr's behaviour in the House, where in the past he has been openly critical of his governm ent on occasion and has sometimes voted against H arris' wishes. As Speaker, said Carr, he is not allowed to com m ent politically on issues and will vote only to break a tie. With a slim mer Tory majority in the last election, Cansays such as situation could arise. W hen reached for comment Thursday, Carr was still immersed in a whirlwind o f activity that will include his orientation to the new job. " It's been hectic, but the C lerk's staff have made me feel welcome and have been very helpful," said Carr, who explained that he is looking forward to any advice his predecessor Chris Stockwell can offer him.
