Anderaon "Bob Rac. and pA New Demo-' + cratic government have bun- 'gled the Social Contract pro- cess, Mike Harris said. "We. think he mismanaged the whole process," the Ontario Progressive Conservative lead- er told the Port Perry Star last week. in a party golf tournament in Ashburn. "There was confusion, chaos and bitterness for six months. It was designed to bring groups to- gether -- employers and employ- ees. Instead it split them and di- vided them much further apart." Mr. Harris criticized the a parent "short-term" agenda which the Social Contract legis- lation appears to have. "We're concerned that the savings permanent. We're not interested in short-term fix- es of days off for a couple of years and then at the end be &= back to thesame level." Mr. Harris said the process would have been far more effec- tive if the measures taken had 5 been permanent. Despite the problems, Mr. | _ Harris says a lesson has been learned by the process that things aren't the same as they used to be in the past. ~~ "Itwill'work to >the extentofat least not having an attitude that we can keep having bigger and more governments and new programs and higher costs. I think it will slow things down," he said.
