GEORGE ASHE, MPP (PC -Durham West)> A Cinde relia story Aw, it was like a Cinderella story. There they were, David and Shelly, walklng hand in hand from the carrnage, waving and smiling. Humillty relgned supreme. It could have been a coronation rather than a swearing-in of a new government. Tax collector Bob Nixon was there. So was the new Sheriff of Not- tingham, Ken Keyes. The Prince of Education, Sean Conway, complete with sweaty palms was also anxiously awaiting being sworn mnto court. The nice were there, too. Little Bobby Rae, respiendent and smiling, longed for a littie recognition. A smlle, perhaps; a wave, some small gesture from his new King. Well, it dldn't take long for the fairy tale to end. Less than an hour old, the Liberal governnxent in Ontario was already apologizing for mistakes it hadn't made, yet. David Peterson was asking forgiveness and understanding from the people of Ontario. And, so he should. Totally flustered at a press con- ference, our new Premier back-peddled on his plan to establish corner-store alcohol sales. We're going to 'talk' about it, Peterson said. He already lias talked about it to bis King Maker, Bobby Rae. Rae said 'no', and no it will be. Peterson was also quxck to disagree with his new minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations, Monte Kwinter, on the Spadina Expressway. "I'm going to sound like Bill Davis, but I have no plans to extend the Spadina," lie said. He'd botter tell Mon- te. Asked to describe the new legisiators taking office at Queen's Park, David Peterson said, "en- thusiastie". A desirable attitude, no doubt. However, one would hope for just a few more at- tributes in governing the most successful and productive province in this nation. One would also expect more from a new minister of the Crown than the commend by Jack Riddell, appointed to the Agriculture port-folio, that most of the constituency he represents is 'raciat'. Riddell made the remark when commenting on the fact he lias no concerns about his leader having to run against Larry Grossman as opposed to Frank Miller. Leaving the hypothetical situation aside, the mere fact that Riddell bas the gail to speak for the people of rural Ontario in sucli a fashion is disgraceful, and totaliy unfounded in fact. The people of Ontario are not looking for 'en- thusiasm'. They're certainly not looking for a governinent of Jack Riddells, either. Tbey didn't want a Prince and a Princess, and they neyer voted for the NDP to govern this province. Tbe people of Ontario have come to expect a sen- sitive, progressive government dedicated to the preservation of a way of life that lias taken 200 years to develop. The aspirations of David Peterson and the desperation of Bob Rae are secondary. The people must corne first. And, as the Legisiature resumes this week, that is precisely who the Opposition will place first on its agenda. We will not be criticizing the government for being new and inexpenienced. That type of ap- proach is simply not productive for the people we serve. We will, however, be watching very closely to ensure whatever the new government does is in the best interests of ail Ontarians. The time for postruing is over. The back roomn deals have been struck. The apologies bave been made in advance.
