PAGE 18, WEDNESDAY,1MAY 16,1979, WHITBY FREE PRESS ELECTION REPORT: Scott Fennell, Progressive Conservative Speaking to the students of voting age at the all candi- dates forum both at the Anderson Collegiate and Vocational Institute and Henry Street High School, Scott Fennell, Progressive Conservative candidate for Ontario Riding said, he does "fnot agree with many of the Liberal Policies." "They don't seem to worry about business, private en- terprise and the youth of the Country." He told the students that he is a member of the privf e sector, is in the insurance business and hcen involved with construction and finance. "The Progressive Conser- vatives are concerned about the youth. They will, allow you to reach your goals by increasing the use and pro- duction of natural resources," he said. 1 The development of natural resources could be done "through research and development," he said. "In this manner one can find new ways of productivity." Point- ing to the development of Canadian electronics, Mr. Fennell said, "there isn't a Canadian television set today. There were many televisions' and radio sets produced in Canada in the 1950's." "The Liberals are saying there are too many people coming into the market too quickly, and in five years it'll all go away. I have said all along that it is time for Canadians, especially the youth, to raise their expecta- tions. We need those expec- tations to bring this country back into a highly productive and a highly employed good country to live in," Mr. Fenneli, a father of five children said. "We have in this country the largest vyealth per capita in natural resources and we must use them," Mr. Fennell said. "If we allow people to reach their goals and improve the employment situation, we will bring back pride and productivity." One of the ways this could be done Mr. Fennell suggested was by-"reducing all Crown Corporations and selling because our freedoms are threatened." The students asked Mr. Fennell why the cost of an University education in Canada was so high. He replied that the "university costs in Canada are not as high as the university tuition costs are in other countries." He pointed out that it costs "$4,000 a year tuition fee alone in the United States for an University education. The way the government of Canada helps the students to obtain their university education is by "means of providing assistance to pro- vide sumrmer jobs for the students. The governments are unable to continue to subsidize university educa- tion is because the dollar is low," he said. He pointed out that the governments "can not sub- sidize universities as we have to stop spending the reasons are the dollar is low, productivity is low. As a result of low productivity the people are working as tools. We should work out trade agreements with other countries," Mr. Fennell said as he "agrees with a floating dollar." In the one-minute wrap-up given to the candidates Mr. Fennell said he is a worker and a farmer and would like to see the gross income for the country increased from $17 billion up to $51 billion. "We must not have a minority·government. It is a very expensive form of government," he said, "and it is not a good form of government. them back to the private sector." Mr. Fennell also expressed to the Anderson Collegiate students his concern about freedom. "Our freedoms are threatened," he said. "The present government does not allow you individual freedom." At both schools Mr. Fennell pointed out that he is "involved because our free- doms are thraatened. A government large enough to give you everything is large enough to take everything away." At Henry Street High School Mr. Fennell said "how wonderful the country is and I enjoy Canada. I am worried because I love the country." In his eight minute speech time alloted to each candi- date Mr. Fennel said he "is concerned about youth and their future as "he has five children of his own. He is a "business man who believes in your future and I believe youth.should have the opportunity of having your own business." But he also believed that the youth should 'always have two options." Mr. Fennell pointed out that he "believes in options. If you are going in for law then you should know how to use a hammer;. as it is always good to work with wood. I am a worker and I would never want to ask a man to do a job I wouldn't want to do myself. I would do that job first. I am involved
