2-Orono Weeklv Times, Wednesday, lune 5, 1985 And why flot? Athouigh we are wriinýg ibis editorial prior to the Frank MiIler's conservauîve throirc speccchi in the Ontarlo Legislature we would dou)tbt il (the throne speech) will mnake much difference as 10o a change of governmeni from thle Con- servatives to the liberals in this province. No doubi the conservatives will make il as sicky as possible for any change but the change does appear ineviiable. The accord or agreement between the liberals and NDP is not surprising as bothi parties campaigned in the Mlay 2nd eleci ion somewhat along the same uines andagreemnenti n future legisiation should flot be that difficult for thie iwo groups. Both expressed conicern ýover the lack of ac- complishments for the envit-rimrent by the conservatives. They also promoted the abolishmient of doctor's extra billing and spoke of equal pay for wýork of equal value. There were other areas in which the two parties held acommon front fromnthlai of the rigning Tories. If the co)nservauives are defeated by a vote of nonr- confidence, as is expected, it does seemn reasonable thal the liberals wýould be called uipon lo form a goverfiment and with the agreemient with the NDPI and ai least a common base in many areas the parîy should be able t0 carry on some of their proposais as outlined in the leciion campaign. In fact the agrceement should speed up legisiationi and promises should be imore al reality than if only made by onlie par iy. A mrino iliy governrncnî woul have litile roornin which to operate in the leisialre and if the conservati vc were 10 continue 10 reign wýe coud e\pc1 very litile accomplished by the provincial governei. A new era coutd well lie in the maing for the province and only liiime will telli ils ouicomie.
