QronoWok1yT1ms~Wedn...............94~ Happy l6th Tomas From Us Ail Book Review from Crystal Pages (The used Book store in Orono) HO0M E0OP AT HI1C MEDICINE AT HOME by Maisimund B. Panes, M.D., and Jane Heimlich (Natural Remedies for every day ailments and miner injuries.) - Homcopathy is a science that eperates systematically seeking to cure in accordance with natural laws of heaimng, and uses medicines made from natural substances - animal. vegetable and minerai. Ibo body is always striving wo kecp itself healthy, or in balance. when Uic body is Ureatened by harmful external forces, its defense mechanism preduces sympwoms which bave a purpose; Pain is a warning Uiat something is wrong. Fever inactivates many viruses that attack the body. Mucous is produccd in the respiratory tract wo surround and Queen pari from GordMilis MPP Durham East Lasi weekr, in the Legisiature, Finance Minister, Floyd Laughren, announced that 1 unconditional grants, which arc 4 provided to municipalities for 1 their general operations, will be maintained at the saine. levels as last , year. The same announcement waS made in regard to our other transfer partners, universities and schools, and hospitals, to allow them te finalize their budgets for 1994. Last year, we made a promise to our partners that this years unconditional grants would bc, frozen. This means that no expendi ture cuts or tax increases will be needed as a resuit of unexpected decreases to provincial funding. Simply put, we kept our promise, in tough economnic times. Lilcewise, thc decision bas been made not to Cut payments to those most vuinerable in our society, the welfare recipient. Along with these announcements, the Minister of Finance also said that there wouldn't be a, single tax increase. Al of our work is paying off. The deficit will decrease this year, despite Ottawa's unfairness, despite the ravages, of the recession. Prom the beginning we bave taken a different approach wo governing. The se called "bottom Mne is important - but we beieve people are important tee. For -eIple, you can't really get a ý-ie of wbat a success story thc Social Contract is, until you look at what bas happencd in some other provinces. The- Conservatives in Alberta had a simple solution to Uic necd tw cut spending, one sharcd by the Ontario Conservative Party 1 might add, and that was to take thc axe to hospitals and schools and social assistance. The Liberals in New Brunswick and kRepmmot Newfoundland have taken that approach as wefl - back ad slash. In Ontario, wc did things diffcrcntly. We trimmed $2 billion, in spending and we saved 40,000 jobs in Uic public service, doing it our way. They were wough measures, but surehy a Rae day is much btter than no pay day? Since 1991 we bave crcated or saved more than 300,000 full year jobs. Wc are talking about high quality jobs - high wage, high skill jobs that help stabilize communities. Without our intervention, witbout our conccrn for the working people of Uis province, Uic jobiess figure would bave doubled. I'm concerned tbat Conservative Leader Mike Harris bas vowcd te gut jobsOntario should bc become Premier. And labour law reform, lie bas said he wil scrp that, Uiercby taking us back to Uic stone ageif hc gets Uic chance. Libural Leader Lyn McLeod is ready too. Elect me, she says, and wave goodbyc te social housing and the jobs it creates. Last week, in Uic Legislature, 1 made a statement about the success story at Algoma Steel. A $100 investment in 1992 is now worth almost $30,000. When wc were supporting Uic workers at Algoma Steel in their heur of need in 1991, Lyn and Mike said we were wrong thcy said we didnt bave any idea what we wec doing. They said Uiat if it were possible te turn the steel company around, big business was thc vehicle te do it, Uiey said couidn't be donc - undcr any circumstances! Bath Uic Libural Party and Uic Progressive Conservative Party wouid bave turned their backs on those werkcrs at Algoma Steel, and the jobs wouhd al bu gene. Thousands wouid have ended up on welfare, sud would still bu on welfare new, if we bad taken that approach. And wc all know just who is paying for the costs associateti with welfare. Likcwise, our partncrsbip with deHavilland - Metro Toronto's largest industrial employer - has meant job sccurity for 2,600 people - and for Uieusands more whose jobs are tied to Uic success of Uiecocmpany. deHavilland is now another success swôry for Uic gevenunent. The flght was tough, we were lambasted in the Legislature for our support of deHlaviiland, by boUi Uic Liberals and Tories. Mike Harris said on October 22, 1991, in the legislature, "ýthe federal government ownied this company and lost money every time an aircraft rolled off the Une. Boeing, one of the largest and most efficient aircraft companies, with expertise far in excess, I suggest, of Uic Premier's cabinet, bas not been able te operate this company without cvery aîrcraft rolling off losing money. Does Uic Premier have any economic analysis or study that suggests there is a way Boeing bas not found, or somcbody cisc can own it - and it will actuaily make a profit?" Ahl of this, rhetoric espoused by a man who seeks wo bu Premier of Ontario, through the use of despicable electioneering tactics as seen in Uic recent Haliburton - Victoria by-election. When some people tell me Uiat business doesn't want wo invest in Bob Rac's Ontario, I suggest that they look' at thc auto industry. Since 1992, Uic auto industry bas invested more than $4 billion dollars in Ontario. We negotiated a deal with Chrysier in Windsor wo keep Uic tbird shift going until 1998. Our investmcnt in Chrysler's mini-van plant secured 4,000 jobs. Our invesirnent -in Uic Ford plant in Oakviie, helped Uic Ford plant hold onto 4,800 jobs and create 400 new ones. By investing in industry and investing in workers, we'vc protected Uousands of jobs - that would bave been lost forever. Last year, we spelled out our plan te save public services, protect jobs and live within our means. Our plan is workIng. With the hchp of public sector employees and Uic contribution of taxpayers we have achieved our budget targets. We cut Uic deficit by more than 20 per cent. Wc might not bc able to reduce Uic deficit as quickiy as we bad boped, but we wili make sure Uiat the people who we belp wilh continue to get it. We wili stand up for Ontarians, since the 97 Liberal MiPs from Ontario have chosen wo ignore Uic interests of our province. We have stopped thc bheeding in our health care systcm.

This weck's column bas ccntred around sending a strong message to those who tell me from time w Urnme, that we are wo blame for everything - that is from static dling to the cold winter. 1 suggest tw Uic critics tbat they re-evaluate whatwe have donc in Uic wo rst recession since Uic 1930's.
