As Minister of Financial Institu tions, Mr. Kormos is responsibte for areas and offices which include automobile an d other types of insurance, deposit institutions, th e Ontario Securities Commission and pensions. As Consumer Minister, he is responsible for such diverse areas as consumer protection and business practices, public safety through technical standards and the registration of personal and real property, company records and'birth, marriage and death certificates. Mr. Kormos is a graduate of Osgoode Law School and has a Bachelor of Arts Degree from York University and a diploma in social work from Niagara College.

Durham East MPP Gord Milî.s, who is, the Parliamentary Assistant to Solicitor General Mike Farnan, will also discuss lis first six months as the local member of parliament. Mr. Kormos will be speaking i Craig French at General Motors Before starting co-operative education in September, I liad every intention to study to become a computer programmer. Co-op can change things. I the beginning of September, I started two co-operative education placements, with General, Motors of Canada, and Applied Medical Technologies of Ajax. At both of these placements I serve as a computer programmer. 1 have been working at both placements concurrently altemating between themn on week- by-week basis. I will be continuing through to June to complete my credits for co-op. 1 will begin by discussing what I have been doing at General Motors. I work for, Mr. Harry Perkins who is the Assistant Manager for market planning at the new GM office on the 401. 1 have finished up the work begun by two other co-op students fromn Clarke. The program. that has been written will competitively compare two vehicles for their features, and their pricing. This lias been a challenging project. I am now going to start on a new project at GM. 1 have learned-a lot about how big business is mun, and how the car business works. The other placement I work at is Appiied Medical Technologies based in Ajax. I work for Dr. Ken Buttoo who is the president of the company. The project I have been working on is known as the Ajax Lifepass System. This system is a complete medical record storage/analysis system. Each patient is issued a card the size of a credit card, where their entire medical history is stored. On this program, 1I developed a word processor, data entry system, a database management systeml graphing capabilities and mucli more. This program lias been a super-challenge, since there lias been many deadlines to meet, and difficult sessions to prograin. I must at this point thank my past co-operative education employer Mr. Michael Bail of COM- PRODIX Development Corp. for' everything lielias taughtme. Gradually over the last semester 1 have taken up an interest in medicine, and I would like to pursue this profession. In conclusion, co-op is the ultimate career finder. I started witli every intention to become a computer programmer, and now 1 come out wanting to become a doctor. I would recommend the program to anyone who wants to confirm wliat they would like to pursue. COMING EVENTS February 22nd PD.
