Liberal candidate' Gary Adamson filed election paper with returning officer Gord MacMillan March 3 at the returning office on Water Street in Port Perry. Edna Saunders is Mr. Adamson's campaign manager.' Three candidates discuss issues (From page 1) they are too far away from the major job markets. He said the provincial Liberals have a Strategic Industrial Plan to help farmers and small business, and to identify needs of the people. Regional govenment is another issue that Mr. Adamson has raised in this campaign, and he repeated that while the overall concept may be good, reg- gional government is not responding to the real needs of people. He said the expansion of regional governments should be checked carefully and he mentioned the fact that there has not been much success in bringing light industry to the smaller communities- in the riding. Mr. Stevenson was asked if the un-freezing of Wintario capital grants was co- 'incidental to the calling of an election by the Conser- vatives, and he replied that the grant program had been "under study for about a year and a half. It was never the intention to freeze the capital Wintario grants forever, he stated. In response to another question about the fact he has been mentioned as a possible cabinet minister if elected to a Tory govern- ment, Mr. Stevenson played down the suggestion, stating his first task is to get elected and get his "feet on the ground at Queens Park." He did suggest it could be advantageous to the people of a riding if their rep sits in the Cabinet because of the chance to more directly in- fluence policies. Cabinet ministers have "more clout," he said. One major issue for the New Democrats in this elec- tion has been health costs and OHIP premiums. Mrs. Wilbur stated that OHIP premiums could be eliminated without creating further debt by more tax-~ ation of the resource industry, similar to program now in place in Sask-.. atchewan. She also said there could be ways to provide improved health care without adding to * the total cost, and mentioned more home care for the elderly rather than insti- tutionalization as ohne method of doing this. Mrs. Wilbur was also asked about the provincial NDP position on the Consti- tution debate, and she replied it is the same as the federal NDP support for patriation with a Bill of Rights and formula. Mr. Adamson lives just outside the - Durham-York riding boundary, and he was asked if he has any plans to move into the riding. He replied that he doen't believe the fact he lives one concession west of the riding boundary would have any effect on how he would rep- resent the people of the riding which covers 700 square miles. He did not say whether he has plans to move into the riding at some later date. . He was also asked about the Liberal policy to do away with Grade 13, and he said it could be assimilated into four years of high school without hurting the level of education. Other provinces -have done it, he said, and there is no proof that students from outside Ontario get poorer quality education. Mr. Adamson is a high school teacher in North York and a former school board trustee there. He stated that doing away with Grade 13 would not result in a reduction in the number of teachers. With the election slated for March 19, the campaign is now approaching its final week.
